alayoua Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC May 31 2013 Will the Dollar Recover Too? U.S. stocks and Treasury yields resumed their rise but the dollar failed to follow. Instead of trading higher, the greenback lost value against most of the major currencies. The EUR/USD rose above 1.30 and USD/JPY slipped below 101 after a round of weaker than expected economic data. Equity and fixed income traders shrugged off the data but FX traders refused to budge. Long dollar positions are still being cut which suggests that currency traders are still worried about the volatility in the financial markets and the eagerness of the Fed to taper asset purchases. U.S. equity and fixed income traders have completely ignored the 5% drop in the Nikkei overnight. Japanese stocks are 13% off its highs and if it continues to decline, it may have ripple effects over to U.S. markets and keep the dollar in corrective mode. However if the Nikkei stabilizes and starts to recover, then the dollar has a chance of joining the recovery. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/31052013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR 2013-05-31 08:30 GMT UK.

alayoua Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 04 2013 Fitch cuts Cyprus to B-, negative outlook Fitch Ratings has downgraded Cyprus's long-term foreign currency issuer default rating by one notch to 'B-' from 'B' while keeping a negative outlook due to the country's elevated economic uncertainty. The rating agency had placed Cyprus on negative watch in March. With this decision, Fitch pushed Cyprus further into junk territory, now 6 notches. "Cyprus has no flexibility to deal with domestic or external shocks and there is a high risk of the (EU/IMF) program going off track, with financing buffers potentially insufficient to absorb material fiscal and economic slippage," Fitch said in a statement. The EUR/USD finished the day sharply higher, at one point trading all the way up to 1.3107 before leaking lower later in the day to close up 76 pips at 1.3070. Some analysts were pointing towards weaker than expected ISM data from the US as the main catalyst for the bullish move in the pair. Economic data out of the US will slow down a bit the next few days, but volatility is certain to pick up as we approach the ECB Rate Decision on Thursday, as well as the Non-Farm Payrolls number due out of the US on Friday. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/04062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-04 08:30 GMT | UK.

alayoua Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 05 2013 IMF's Lagarde urges Greece not to relax bailout efforts MF head Christine Lagarde said in an interview for the Greek state TV on Tuesday that the country was making progress on its bailout program but that it nevertheless should increase efforts to combat tax evasion and implement reforms to attract foreign investors. 'Now is not the time to relax the effort,' Lagarde said, adding that "There are some really positive developments but obviously more needs to be done.” She listed tax evasion and reforms to spur foreign investment as the most important issues which need to be dealt with. This week EU, ECB and IMG inspectors return to Athens for another revision of the Greek bailout program, during which they are expected to focus on the Greek government's progress in reducing state employee numbers. The EUR/USD traded in a narrow range today but still managed to finish the day in positive territory, closing up 11 pips at 1.3081. Economic data out of the both the EU and US was light, but will pick up as we approach the end of the week with the ECB Interest Rate Decision on Thursday, as well as US Non Farm Payrolls on Friday. However, before the real fireworks begin, some analysts are pointing to tomorrow’s ADP data out of the US as a possible catalyst for tomorrow’s price action. According to Sean Callow at Westpac, “we have the ADP report plus non manufacturing ISM jobs components tonight. There is a great deal of focus on jobs data in the US given recent speculation about Fed tapering its asset purchase programs. ADP disappointed in April but has not had much directional success in picking payrolls outcomes. The ISM report on Monday casts a long shadow over tonight's non manufacturing report. Arguably, markets will be set up for a softer outcome given the weaker US$ in recent sessions. Tonight's data could prove to be important for FX markets.” https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/05062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-05 08:28 GMT | UK.

alayoua Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 06 2013 EUR Prime for a Breakout on ECB The euro is prime for a breakout. Unlike other major currency pairs, EUR/USD traded in a relatively tight range throughout the European and North American sessions. On a technical basis, the currency pair stayed between the 100 and 200-day SMAs for the past 48 hours, which reflects the hesitation of investors who are waiting for a catalyst to take the currency pair out of its range. Tomorrow could be the perfect opportunity for a breakout in the pair with the European Central Bank scheduled to deliver its monetary policy decision. The ECB is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged leaving Mario Draghi's press conference as the primary focus for FX traders. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/06062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-06 11:00 GMT | BoE Interest Rate Decision 2013-06-06 11:45 GMT | ECB Interest Rate Decision 2013-06-06 12:30 GMT | ECB Monetary policy statement and press conference 2013-06-06 12:30 GMT | USA.

alayoua Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 07 2013 Will Non-Farm Payrolls Save or Kill the Dollar? The big story today in the financial markets was the sell-off in the U.S. dollar. The greenback fell quickly and aggressively against all of the major currencies right around the European close and held onto its losses to end the day down 2% against the Japanese Yen and more than 1% against the euro, British pound and Swiss Franc. There were a few different factors behind the sell-off in the greenback. The dollar initially traded lower on the optimistic comments from ECB President Draghi but those losses were contained to the EUR/USD. USD/JPY did not see any losses until 90 minutes before the European close at 12pm NY Time and only when it started to break down did the dollar collapse against all of the major currencies. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/07062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-07 06:00 GMT | Germany.

alayoua Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 10 2013 EUR/USD still searching for direction after NFP Data After trading as high as 1.3284 ahead of the US Non Farm Payroll data, the EUR/USD was unable to hold onto early gains and ended the session 68 pips lower 1.3216. The lack of follow through after the sharp gains early in the week is somewhat concerning, but thus far the pair has been able to hold onto the critical support level located in the 1.3200 area. Some analysts are pointing towards a combination between the Non Farm Payroll data, as well as comments from ECB President Draghi at the most recent ECB meeting as reasons to expect limited upside for the EUR/USD in coming days. According to Marc Chandler, Head of Currency Strategy at BBH, “We warned that although the technical factors looked constructive for the dollar, the fundamentals, in the form of the ECB not delivering on the negative deposit rate (that Draghi said he had an open mind about) and additional aid for small and medium size businesses, were less supportive.” Although he believes the jobs number was not strong enough to warrant any QE tapering in the near future, Chandler noted downside potential in the USD is limited at current levels. “We anticipated that the jobs data would not support notions from some Fed officials (and market participants) that tapering of the purchases of long-term assets could being as early as this month. Now we suspect the dollar's down move has been largely exhausted and we anticipate a recovery in the dollar into a new trading range,” Chandler concluded. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/10062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-10 07:15 GMT | Switzerland.

alayoua Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 11 2013 USD/JPY searching for direction after BoJ Meeting The USD/JPY has experienced a fairly volatile Asia session, at one point declining all the way down to 97.78 before finding support and currently consolidating near the 98.30 level. The main catalyst for the sharp drop appeared to come right after the Bank of Japan announced they wouldn’t be making any changes to current monetary policy. Analysts on the FXStreet.com team noted although many had expected the policy to remain unchanged, there were rumors circling of possible adjustments to help control the recent government bond market volatility which may have helped spark the initial declines when market participants saw the adjustments to current policy were not made. “The Bank of Japan monetary policy meeting offered no particular response to the latest episodes of market volatility in JGB, which includes the failure to change maturities of fixed rate operations in order to ease bond market volatility. Also, there had been some rumors about a proposal to extend the loans to 2 years, something that was not accepted, leading to a strong selling in both the Nikkei and USD/JPY,” FXstreet.com team concluded. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/11062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : N/A | Japan.

alayoua Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 12 2013 Strong technical set up helps EUR/USD post highest close since mid February The EUR/USD finished the session sharply higher, surpassing the critical resistance level near 1.3300 and closing up 57 pips at 1.3312 (highest daily close since Feb 19th). In what was a quiet day of economic releases from both the EU and US, analysts were searching for catalyst to help explain the impressive strength. Derek Halpenny, European Head of Global Markets Research at Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, was pointing towards recent hawkish comments from ECB President Draghi as an initial catalyst for the sharp move higher. “The euro remains incredibly solid and has advanced further versus the dollar. ECB President Draghi did speak yesterday and stated that rates would rise once the euro-zone economy improved – a statement of the obvious.” In further discussing his views, Halpenny went on to comment, “We suspect that the current euro demand is probably emanating from the unwinding of long high yielding currency positions. Both the dollar and the euro were likely used as funding currencies for these positions and hence the euro is modestly out-performing the dollar.” To conclude his view, Halpenny went on to say he expects the EUR/USD will start to decline once the position unwind is completed. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/12062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : N/A | Germany.

alayoua Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 13 2013 IMF approves €657 million bailout tranche for Portugal The International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved the seventh tranche of Portugal's bailout Wednesday and gave the country more time to meet its budget-cutting goals. The IMF will disburse the next tranche worth €657 million after the successful review of a bailout program that started in 2011. Meanwhile, the fund eased conditions, allowing Portugal to lower its budget deficit to 3% of GDP by 2015 from 6.4% in 2012, instead of by 2014. "The Portuguese authorities have put forward a program that is economically well-balanced and has growth and job creation at its center", IMF acting Managing Director John Lipsky wrote in a statement. With Chinese markets back in business after a 5 day weekend closed over holidays, local share markets were dumped with Nikkei index leading the way lower losing at one point more than -6%. USD posted fresh 4-month lows at 80.66 DXY with USD/JPY printing fresh 2-month lows at 94.36, and EUR/USD 3-month highs above 1.3360. Gold and Oil showed little changes on the move. Australian job market surprised to the upside adding 1.1k more jobs to the economy when -10k were expected, making AUD/USD dip below the 0.9450 level. RBNZ left interest rates unchanged at 2.5%, with NZD/USD hanging around the 0.79 figure. http://blog.fxcc.com/forex-technical-market-analysis-june-13-2013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-13 08:00 GMT | EMU.

alayoua Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 14 2013 Draghi says OMT necessary, effective and within ECB mandate Mario Draghi defended the Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT) a day after the ECB and the Bundesbank confronted in a public hearing at Germany's top court on the legality of the bond-buying program. ECB President said the program was necessary, effective and in line with the ECB mandate. He pointed that benefits are 'visible to everybody' across Europe including Germany, in particular, falling bond yields in Italy and Spain. "It is fully in line with our mandate because it is designed to preserve price stability for the euro area and uses instruments foreseen in the Statute," Draghi said according to the transcript of a video statement after receiving the responsible leadership award 2013 from the European School of Management and Technology in Berlin. Meanwhile, Draghi urged eurozone leaders to stick reforms and to push for greater integration "to build a stronger economic and monetary union based on shared sovereignty and greater legitimacy". "For the euro area now to move forward and establish itself on stronger ground, we need all decision makers to take their responsibilities," Draghi said. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/14062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-14 09:00 GMT | EMU.

alayoua Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 17 2013 Dollar Outlook Next Week Hinges on Bernanke The month of June has proven to be an extremely volatile period in the forex market as the U.S. dollar fell aggressively against many major currencies. Unfortunately we can't expect the markets to calm anytime soon with a heavy dose of economic data expected from countries around the world. The U.K. and Australia will release monetary policy minutes, the Swiss National Bank will hold a monetary policy meeting and of course - we also have the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement on the calendar. In addition to these event risks, Eurozone PMIs, New Zealand GDP, UK retail sales, US manufacturing data and Canadian retail sales are also scheduled for release. Yet there's no question that of all these events, the most important will be the Fed meeting. Much of the volatility in the financial markets has been caused by the uncertainty of Fed policy. There's been a lot of talk about tapering asset purchases, which has caused stocks to weaken but at the same time, central bank officials and noted Fed watchers have stressed that a reduction in Quantitative Easing does not equate to tightening. They are absolutely right and we think that the rest of the market is beginning to realize this connection as well but based on the reaction to Jon Hilsenrath's article this week, there are still a subset who need convincing. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/17062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 24h | All.

alayoua Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 18 2013 Dollar Strengthens, Stocks Soar as Traders Position for FOMC Yesterday we saw how much of a difference a few hours can make with the dollar recovering earlier losses to end the North American session higher against most of the major currencies. With only one day to go before the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement, the big move in equities and the reversal in currencies suggests that traders are beginning to position for FOMC. Yet taking a look at how the various markets are trading, there seems to be more confusion than clarity on what the central bank will say or do. The rise in the dollar and the increase in U.S. Treasury yields imply that currency and equity traders believe that the main takeaway from this week's meeting will be that the central bank is gearing up to taper. However the rally in U.S. equities suggest that stock traders believe that the Fed will make a point to distinguish tapering from tightening and reassure investors that cheap and easy money will remain available for a very long period of time. If Bernanke is successful in convincing the market that they will take a very gradualist approach to tapering, the U.S. dollar could give up its gains. However if Bernanke emphasizes the central bank's plans for tapering over its difference with tightening, the dollar could extend its rise. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/18062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : N/A | UK.

alayoua Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 19 2013 EUR - Lifted by Stronger Investor Confidence The euro traded higher against all of the major currencies today thanks to the improvement in Eurozone and German investor sentiment. The Eurozone ZEW survey rose to 30.6 from 27.6 and while investors grew less optimistic about current conditions in Germany, their confidence in future conditions improved with the expectations component of the German ZEW rising to 38.5 from 36.4. With the European Central Bank taking additional steps to stimulate the economy, this data indicates that investors are looking for a stronger recovery. In a farewell conference for Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer today, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi talked about ECB monetary policy. He said the central bank would consider non-standard measures including the possibility of negative deposit rates. Draghi said, "We will look with an open mind at these measures that are especially effective in our institutional setup and that fall within our mandate." Yet he warned that these non-standard measures could also lead to unintentional consequences. Parts of the Eurozone have been unresponsive to monetary policy and Draghi has set to regain its steering capacity. He pointed out that the introduction of non-standard policy measures along with standard measures helped prevent the materialization of deflation risk. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/19062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-19 08:30 GMT | UK.

alayoua Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 21 2013 EU Fin Min struck deal on bank bailouts Eurozone ministers struck a deal over the origin of funds for bank bailouts from now on. While the local government will contribute 20% of the new capital, the ESM (European Stability Mechanism) bailout fund will become the major contributor with an 80%, according to an official cited by Reuters. Moreover, EU finance ministers made an agreement for the ESM to be used as an investment vehicle for banks under stress, with each being assessed individually to become eligible to the aid, Reuters reported. With regards to Cyprus, EU Finance Ministers were clear that Cyprus must live up to its word by fulfilling its financial obligations. Furthermore, President of the Eurogroup Dijsselbloem was quoted on a headline saying "Implementation of agreed Cypriot baliout program is indispensible", noting that implementation is key for the Bank of Cyrus, also adding that there is likely to be a limit of 60bn euro on direct bank recap fund, although this can be reviewed. The EUR/USD suffered more losses today, declining another 75 pips and closing at 1.3218. However, it should be noted the pair did trade as low as 1.3160 at one point, but was able to recover a decent portion of its losses before the end of the day. Analysts were discussing the release of the most recent EU PMI figures, which hit the tape during the previous European session. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/21062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 24h | EMU.

alayoua Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 25 2013 Will Fed Speeches Halt the Dollar Rally? Based on the sell-off in global equities and rise in bond yields around the world, deleveraging in the financial markets intensified. However in the forex market, the U.S. dollar appears to have stabilized. Early losses for many major currencies against the dollar were recovered by the end of the day. In fact, the AUD/USD even ended the North American trading session in positive territory. Does this mean that the dollar rally has peaked? No. There were no fundamental drivers behind the reversal in the greenback outside of exhaustion. U.S. stocks continued to decline, extending losses that began at the end of May. While the S&P 500 is still up more than 11% year to date, it lost 6% of its value since setting a record high of 1,669.16 on May 21st. With 1,500 in sight more losses are likely for the S&P 500 and additional weakness in equities is a reflection of risk aversion, which could lead to further strength for the greenback. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/25062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-25 08:30 GMT | UK.

Based on the price action over the past 48 hours in the forex market, volatility has declined as traders and investors wait for a fresh catalyst to drive the dollar higher. Better than expected U.S. economic data helped the greenback hold onto its gains against most of the major currencies but after such an extensive rally, the market is waiting for some confirmation that the Federal Reserve is on track to taper this year and won't do too much damage on the U.S. economy. The latest economic reports suggests that the economy may be able handle less stimulus but that is far from certain. As we said on Monday, the key is whether the other FOMC members are onboard with the idea. Right now, currency traders are in wait and see mode as they look forward to the next big catalyst - which could come from the speeches by Fed officials. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/26062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-26 06:00 GMT | Germany.

alayoua Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jun 27 2013 EU FinMin reach deal on bank resolution rules EU Finance Ministers reached, at the second attempt, an agreement on the new policy to manage restructuring and liquidation of banks. The deal is part of efforts to establish a banking union, which has as ultimate objective to break the link between bank debt and sovereign debt. The EcoFin meeting, celebrated ahead of Thursday's EU Summit, agreed what types of creditors must take losses in future banking crises, according to diplomatic sources. The draft document ensures that depositors with savings under €100,000 will be protected from any loss. The agreement has to be now ratified by the heads of state and government at the summit. German unemployment and Eurozone confidence numbers are also scheduled for release today and the outcome of these reports will impact the market's expectations for ECB policy and in turn the euro. If the data is good, then the central bank's threat to increase stimulus will fall on deaf ears. Just this morning ECB President Draghi reminded everyone that the central bank stands ready to act if necessary. Unfortunately based on the latest PMI numbers, labor market conditions most likely deteriorated in the month of June and if the data is weak, confirming that ECB policy will trail far behind the Fed, the euro could find itself trading closer to 1.29. In terms of confidence, it will be tough call since there has been both strength and weakness in the latest IFO and ZEW surveys. These numbers shouldn't be as important as German unemployment. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/27062013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-06-27 07:55 GMT | Germany.

Regulators reassured the markets by pledging to tighten risk controls over local government, real estate and shadow banking. The chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, Mr. Shang, said "excess reserves more than double amount necessary", although Shanga failed to provide further details on how they intend to reduce shadow banking practices. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/01072013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-07-01 07:58 GMT | EMU.

alayoua Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jul 02 2013 AUD/USD hits lowest at 0.9158 as RBA retains dovish tone AUD/USD has been extending its decline post the RBA rate decision, as traders disccount further rate cuts by the central bank going forward. Amid expectations that the rate would be on hold, all the focus was on the wording used by the RBA. Unfortunately for the anxious bulls, there was no surprise on the dovish tone either, with the RBA repeating the old line "the inflation outlook, as currently assessed, may provide some scope for further easing, should that be required to support demand." What is worse, the RBA stated "The Australian dollar has depreciated by around 10 per cent since early April, although it remains at a high level", which was a hint that despite the dramatic fall, the currency is still not low enough, thus market is now pricing the fact that a lower AUD may not be an impediment to reduce rates further should that be necessary. The lowest level so far has been 0.9156, an area that converges with the sequence of lows seen on July 1 and June 24 on the hourly chart. The level is also the 61.8% fib retrac from the 0.9110 to 0.9250 relief rally. It appears as though some bids are emerging now from lows, with the rate up at 0.9170. On the upside, some offers may be clustered at 0.9175 - lows through last US session - ahead of 0.92 round number and 0.9250 - twin top today. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/02072013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-07-02 08:30 GMT | UK.

alayoua Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jul 04 2013 EUR - Beware of the ECB Since the last ECB meeting, we have seen more improvements than deterioration in the Eurozone economy. In Germany specifically, consumer spending has been healthy, unemployment rolls have declined, leading to an improvement in business and investor confidence. However the strength was not without areas of weakness. Businesses and investors grew more optimistic about future economic activity but more grim about current activity. Considering that the current performance of the economy is what really matters, the ECB may look beyond everyone's hope for improvement. Also stronger service sector activity in the region's largest economy was offset by a deeper contraction in manufacturing. So as you can see the recovery in the Eurozone is uneven and when combined with a 5% sell-off in the DAX, since the last meeting the ECB has very little to be optimistic about. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/04072013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-07-04 08:00 GMT | EMU.

alayoua Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jul 05 2013 EUR and GBP Crushed by ECB and BoE Big moves are happening in the FX market yesterday. The euro and British pound dropped to 5 week lows against the U.S. dollar, taking out key levels in the process. The absence of U.S. traders most likely compounded the volatility in currencies. The European Central Bank and the Bank of England left monetary policy unchanged but Mario Draghi and Mark Carney made it clear that both central banks have a bias to ease. The dovish comments from European central bankers were motivated by the recent volatility in interest rates and a desire to set themselves apart from the Federal Reserve who is on a path to reduce stimulus. The ECB and the BoE wants everyone to know that they are still prepared to increase stimulus if the volatility in the bond markets persist or their economies weaken. In the Eurozone in particular, the EUR/USD dropped through 1.30 and 1.29. The currency started to fall as soon as Draghi said that policy will remains accommodative as long as needed, there are downside risks to their economic outlook and rates will stay low for an extended period of time. The sell-off gained momentum when the central bank took the unprecedented step of forward guidance. The ECB said there is no exit in sight, they are keeping rates low for an extended period of time, their decision will be data dependent and they are keeping an open mind on negative deposit rates. Draghi also reminded everyone that the central bank is "technically ready" for negative rates. They had an extensive discussion about the possibility of a rate cut and unanimously decided that the guidance was needed which included saying that 50bp is not the lower bound. The central bank is screaming their bias to ease from the top of the mountain - they don't want to leave any room for ambiguity because the risk could be a further rise in yields. Having dropped below 1.29, the next support for the EUR/USD should be at 1.28. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/05072013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-07-05 10:00 GMT | Germany.

alayoua Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 ECB members had heated clash over last rate decision ECB Governing Council members had a confrontational approach over interest rates at their latest board meeting on Thursday, according to German weekly Der Spiegel, citing no sources, the MNI newswire reports. Der Spiegel claims to have obtained insights over the dovish views from ECB chief economist Peter Praet, who proposed to cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 bp in the last meeting, an action that ECB President Mario Draghi would have supported. However, as MNI reports, "seven board members, mainly from northern European member states, were arguing sharply against a rate cut last week, the magazine reported." Der Spiegel reports German Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann, Dutch central bank governor Klaas Knot as well as ECB Executive Board member Joerg Asmussen, as the most notoriously opposed to it. As is well known, the final decision taken by the board was to unanimously keep the benchmark rate unchanged at 0.5% while providing forward guidance on low rates. Draghi's said that "broad-based weakness in the real economy and subdued monetary dynamics" will keep rates at present or lower levels for an extended period of time. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/08072013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 24h | All.

Only clear break here would be a signal of possible market easing towards to next targets at 1.2781 (S2) and 1.2757 (S3) in potential.

Appreciation above it might lead would enable corrective phase, targeting resistive measures at 1.4962 (R2) and 1.4999 (R3) in potential. Downwards scenario: On the other hand, if the pair accelerates on the downside and manage to break our next support level at 1.4853 (S1), it is likely to trigger our next support level at 1.4818 (S2) and 1.4782 (S3) later on today.

Further appreciation above the resistive barrier at 101.53 (R1) is liable to next intraday targets at 101.81 (R2) and 102.09 (R3). Downwards scenario: Possible retracement action might get more stimulus below the support level at 100.87 (S1). Loss here would suggest next intraday target at 100.58 (S2) and any weakening below it would then face final support at 100.28 (S3).

alayoua Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jul 09 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jul 09 2013 Troika approves next disbursment to Greece Troika officials struck a deal with Greece this Monday, allowing the debt-laden country to receive its next tranche of funds, totalling The money, totaling 6.8bn euros ($8.7bn). The troika of the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will be responsible to make the funds available end of the month. Eurozone finance ministers indicated earlier today that 2.5bn euros would come from the eurozone rescue fund and 1.5bn euros, while the European Central Bank will contribute with another 1.5bn euros. It is thought that an additional 500m euros from both the EZ rescue fund and the ECB will be transferred in October. The IMF will add the remaining 1.8bn euros. The loans are subject to Greece showing a committal approach towards the country's fiscal path, with the Troika demanding further cuts and a faster implementation of its reform programme, one that has brought the country to its knees. Despite so, the Troika continues to underline the slow progress seen so far, as the country continues to struggle through an era of depression. https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/09072013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 24h | EcoFin Meeting 2013-07-09 08:30 GMT | UK.

alayoua Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Forex Technical & Market Analysis FXCC Jul 10 2013 S&P downgrades Italy to BBB, outlook negative Ratings Agency Standard & Poor's decided to downgrade Italy on Tuesday, cutting the rating to BBB from BBB+. According to S&P, this action reflects their view of the effects of further weakening growth on Italy's economic structure and resilience, and its impaired monetary transmission mechanism. S&P also left their outlook at negative, meaning there is at least one-in-three chance that the rating could be lowered again in 2013 or 2014. The highlights today will be the FOMC Minutes and Bernanke’s Speech and until then I don’t see an awful lot to move things around. The 4 hour charts are showing some minor bullish divergence and we could see the odd bounce but the dailies continue to point lower and I suspect that the low 1.2700 area will soon be tested. In the meantime leave room for bounces as the 4 hour charts unwind. We will be adding to our shorts if we see a bounce into the 1.2850/1.2900 in the coming session. German CPI, US FOMC Minutes, Wholesale Inventories, Bernanke Speech Economic data highlights will include: German CPI, US FOMC Minutes, Wholesale Inventories, Bernanke Speech https://support.fxcc.com/email/technical/10072013/ FOREX ECONOMIC CALENDAR : 2013-07-10 17:00 GMT | USA. 10-Year Note Auction 2013-07-10 18:00 GMT | USA.

Downwards scenario: Any downside fluctuations remains for now limited to the next support level at 1.2754 (S1), only clear break here would be a signal of possible market easing towards to next targets at 1.2727 (S2) and 1.2699 (S3) in potential.
