ryuroden Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 RBS: trading GBP Analysts at RBS claim British pound has switched to buy signal versus most of the rest of the G10 currencies, except USD (GBP/USD keeps testing 200-day MA) NOK, SEK and CAD based on a simple 5- vs. 20-day MA momentum trading strategy. The biggest potential gains may be achieved in GBP/JPY and GBP/AUD. The specialists note that although GBP/JPY may be over one standard deviation expensive, it’s difficult for the pair to move back towards fair value as the UK/JP 2-year rate spread has moved in favor of GBP since the BoE inflation report (the reduction in the BoE easing expectations) and the risk tone is positive. If forex markets can play catch up to moves in other asset classes, AUD and NZD will be best placed to benefit vs. GBP. Chart. Daily GBP/JPY Have a profitable trade with FBS!

The specialists point out that Canadian economic data released so far is mixed: GDP increased in June, but so did the trade deficit and the July unemployment rate. Even so, the Bank of Canada has “maintained its hawkish rhetoric†and it’s “potential plus for the Canadian dollar.†In addition, Westpac thinks that CAD was draw support from investor positioning. Net long loonie positions rose at the beginning of August, but they are “still only a third of the long positions in May,†so there are plenty of investors who could pile into the currency if they see signs that loonie strength is coming. According to Westpac, if market conditions keep improving, “prospects for higher Canadian policy rates should support the loonie’s broad outperformance. Long-speculative positioning is relatively light, which should also be a positive for the currency.†Image from canada.com Have a profitable trade with FBS!

ryuroden Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 AUD/USD: slowed uptrend On Wednesday AUD/USD touched $1.0430 and trades below the yesterday’s minimum. The pair broke below the strong support at $1.0435 as the BHP Billiton, Anglo-Australian multinational mining company, posted a 35% fall in H2 profits. AUD/USD remains close to the lower boundary of the upward channel, existing since June. It’s interesting to note that this time the downward correction within the upward channel is flat in comparison to previous steep waves of correction and reminds of a “rounded top†pattern. In our view, a daily close below $1.0410 (August 17 minimum) will pave the ground for a further decline, potentially to $1.0290 (200-day MA). If Aussie breaches this support, this would be a strong bearish signal. On the upside strong resistance lies at $1.0475 (beginning of a May decline) and at $1.0500. Chart.

ryuroden Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 EUR/USD: news from the battlefield EUR/USD is consolidating after reaching the 7-week high at $1.2487 yesterday. Commerzbank: The outlook for EUR/USD is bullish as long as it’s trading above Tuesday’s minimum at $1.2342. Euro may rise to $1.2500 and probably to $1.2600 before the medium term downtrend resumes its course. Medium term bearish outlook is while “the 1.2705/48 resistance area caps on a weekly New York closing basisâ€. There is the talk of options barrier at $1.2500. Barrier option is a type of option whose payoff depends on whether or not the underlying asset has reached or exceeded a predetermined price. Once the price gets to option barrier both buyers and sellers liven up making the trade more unpredictable. Support/resistance levels are shown on the chart. BBH: “The euro has risen not on action but on expectations about what the ECB could do, but it remains to be seen if these expectations are followed up with action. We don't know how long these expectations can keep pushing up the euro, and in the meantime, it remains vulnerable to any bad news.†Chart. H4 EUR/USD Have a profitable trade with FBS!

At the same time, there may be some comments about other policy tools: "After all, that is the topic of the Jackson Hole speech and was clearly the topic at the August meetingâ€.
