EUR/USD Technical Analysis: March 24, 2017

The results for German Consumer Confidence Survey showed downbeat figures which weighed on the single European currency. The greenbacks also softened as the vote for the Trumpcare bill is scheduled amid North American session. In addition to it, traders await for the speech of Janet Yellen joined with some Fed Reserve officials. While investors are hoping to obtain renewed hints with concerns for the possible action about Fed rate increase.

The EURUSD kept its position during morning trades on Thursday. The spot continued to move towards the ascending channel converging on its lower limit.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: March 24, 2017

The EUR/USD pair exhibited a sideways price action for the majority of yesterday’s session as the market awaited the results of the US healthcare bill’s impending votation. A lot of market players believe that this particular bill is essential to the Trump administration, although some are also speculating that the current administration might be in danger if the bill does not get the required quorum, however this is not how the issue is supposed to unravel.

The uncertainties surrounding the healthcare bill would be clarified by the fact that the Trump administration would nevertheless continue with its present ways regardless of how the healthcare bill pans out. The market had generally expected the bill to conclude to a vote yesterday and this has prompted the EUR/USD pair to remain within its tight-range trading but then the discussions and negotiations within the bill took longer than expected, and a vote could not be made yesterday. As such, the market is hoping that a vote would finally happen within today’s session regardless of the results of the said voting on the bill. Until then, the EUR/USD pair is expected to remain trading sideways as the market waits for the results of the said vote.

Fed member Evans will be speaking during the latter part of today’s trading session but this is not expected to make a significant dent in the USD’s price action. The fate of the US dollar is largely dependent on the results of the healthcare bill vote and if the bill does get passed, then this would mean good news for the dollar and could see the EUR/USD pair breaking the 1.0750 barrier and head towards 1.0700. Otherwise, the EUR/USD pair could possibly test the 1.0800-1.0830 barrier, where it might eventually push through.

USD/CAD Fundamental Analysis: March 24, 2017

The USD/CAD pair continued its tight trading action during the previous session as it did with the past trading days. The currency pair is caught within a very cutthroat range of 1.3300-1.3400 point, where it shows no signs of breaking through anytime soon. The Canadian dollar is looking very weak as of late as oil prices remain under the $50 barrier. In addition, the Canadian economy is also showing absolutely no signs of imminent improvement, causing the Bank of Canada to have a somewhat levelheaded economic outlook for the country.

The USD also has a very dismal outlook as the US economy waits for the results of Trump’s healthcare bill. Trump’s new healthcare is part of the current administration’s plan to stamp out the previous administration’s Obamacare and therefore wield more authority into this particular sector while realizing one of Trump’s campaign proposals. However, the majority of Trump supporters are not too keen with regards to the passing of this particular bill, with the past few days being spent via long discussions and negotiations with regards to this particular issue.

The voting for Trump’s healthcare bill was supposed to come to a conclusion yesterday, but due to lack of significant support from the government this has eventually led to nothing but a series of prolonged discussions, prompting the administration to postpone the vote and hopefully commence the voting today, an influx of support notwithstanding. If the bill manages to get passed, then this could lend support to the US dollar. Aside from this bill, the Canadian economy will also be releasing its CPI data which is expected to impact the status of the USD/CAD pair.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: March 27, 2017

The 1.2500 barrier continues to be a very crucial barrier for the GBP/USD pair. A lot of analysts continue to say that unless the currency pair manages to break through this particular region, then the GBP/USD pair could possibly retreat to the 1.2100 region. This is one of the reasons why the pair’s bulls and bears are fighting it out within this region. Meanwhile, the Article 50 is expected to be invoked this coming March 29, and as based on the market stats, more traders are now piling up on the pair’s shorts as the market expects the currency pair to drop once the invocation commences. The high expectations from the market could possibly spell danger for the currency pair.

Since the market very rarely does what the market expects of it, the risk of a possible short squeeze in the markets could possibly be very bad news for the majority of currency traders. This is why it is very vital to wait and see first whether the currency pair would indeed manage to break through 1.2600 and take profit where it is already short. The data from UK last week has had virtually no impact whatsoever on the country’s economy, and this has heightened the risk for a possible upmove.

For this week, there are no major news releases from the UK economy while the US will be releasing its GDP data. The GBP/USD pair is then expected to undergo a lot of volatility this week especially with the invocation of Article 50 and the onset of month end flows.

USD/JPY Fundamental Analysis: March 27, 2017

The USD/JPY pair retreated significantly during the previous week as investors relieved themselves of high-risk assets following a drop in US Treasury prior to the voting on the US healthcare bill last Thursday and Friday. Due to the said bill getting postponed already twice in a row, the USD/JPY pair weakened not because of the postponement of the said bill but because of large-scale investor uncertainties even before the voting on the bill even commenced. The USD/JPY closed down last week’s session at 111.306 after dropping by -1.16% or 1.310 points.

The Bank of Japan has recently released the minutes from their most current policy meeting, and here we see the central bank thumbing down suggestions of a possible hike in the economy’s 10-year government bond yields in order to match the projected gains in Treasury yields. Those who suggested this particular move stated that the central bank should instead focus on hitting its inflation rate target of 2%, which is a very hard task to do since Japan still has concerns regarding inflation expectations and overseas economies as seen in the BoJ minutes.

There are no major economic news releases as far as this week is concerned, with the market only expecting Tuesday’s consumer confidence data from the US and Thursday’s final GDP report. The USD is expected to exhibit some movements this week as a lot of Fed officials are expected to release statements, and the probability of a USD movement would increase if the said officials would talk about the current administration’s economic plans. However, the USD could be under pressure if Fed officials hint at a fewer rate hike frequency if Trump fails to carry out his proposals for fiscal spending and tax reform. This is why the USD/JPY pair would most likely be directed by the price action of the yields.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: March 29, 2017

The EUR/USD pair crashed during the previous session as the pair corrected its current upmove which has been the pair’s trend for the past few weeks. The USD finally recovered across the board, resulting to sellers taking advantage of this occurrence and selling the EUR. The dollar strength has helped to propel the pair’s value towards 1.0800 points, therefore eradicating the pair’s previous gains which was made last Monday.

Because of this, traders are now mulling over the fact that the EUR/USD pair could be in for more corrections as the sessions progresses. However, the market has no choice but to wait and see how the pair’s price action turns out in the next few days, particularly if whether the pair would continue its current trend of correction or if the pair backs down as it approaches its support barrier at 1.0800, where the currency pair is situated as of the moment. The USD remained weak last Friday up until Monday due to the repeated failed attempts of the Trump administration to pass the healthcare bill. However, the White House is now trying to make another attempt at passing the said bill after Republicans reached out to like-minded Democrats. In addition, the US economy continues to release a slew of strong economic data and this has caused the EUR/USD pair to fall further during the US trading session.

For today’s session, there are no expected releases coming from both the EU and the US economy. However, the month-end flows are expected to come anytime soon as March comes to a close, and since the USD’s strength is expected to persist today, the EUR/USD pair would continue to remain under pressure with the 1.0800 range remaining the essential barrier for the currency pair.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: March 29, 2017

The GBP/USD had a very disastrous trading day yesterday as the currency pair crashed by over 200 pips following the USD’s recovery, as well as the nearing invocation of Article 50. A lot of market players have been saying that today will be a very interesting day for the GBP/USD pair as the Article 50 will be invoked later today, which will mark the start of the Brexit process and basically a point of no return for the British economy.

The GBP/USD pair has seen a consistent buildup of shorts during the past week as the market awaits a very large drop today. However, the value of the GBP/USD pair is also consistently moving higher and increasing towards 1.2600 points. This is a potentially very risky combination and the effect of this combo manifested yesterday, wherein both the USD’s strength and Brexit-related concerns caused the currency pair to drop from its range highs of 1.2600 towards 1.2400 points, where the pair is currently trading. The USD recovered amid possibilities that the Trump admin might again try to pass the healthcare bill by seeking help from like-minded Democrats. Theresa May will also be signing the order for Article 50, and it will be interesting to see how the sterling pound will react to this most recent development in the UK economy.

For today’s session, there are no major releases from both the US and the UK economy and this is why the market will be mostly focusing on the invocation of Article 50 and the subsequent reaction of the GBP/USD pair following the said invocation.

NZD/USD Technical Analysis: March 29, 2017

The New Zealand dollar came in weaker before the speech of Janet Yellen on Tuesday, but its sluggish position was limited since the kiwi received support from the recovery in petroleum prices.

Resistance touched 0.7050 area, support reached 0.7000 mark.

The histogram stalled in the centerline. If the MACD entered the negative zone, it will signal increasing strength of sellers. However, when the indicator dive into the positive grounds, buyers will acquire the power to manage the market. The RSI oscillator stirred downwards.

The price focuses on a stable support near 0.7000 loss by which could possibly trigger weakening within the 0.6970 – 0.6950 ranges.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: March 30, 2017

The EUR/USD pair had a very dismal trading day yesterday as the currency pair surpassed 1.0800 points and reached 1.0700 where it would be most likely met by a lot of buying which means that the currency pair might receive additional support within this range. These string of events was enough to keep the EUR/USD pair under significant pressure for the rest of the trading day. The EUR/USD pair remained under downward pressure since yesterday was the scheduled invocation of Article 50, which is expected to have a long-term effect with regards to the status of the euro currency. However, as of now, there has been no change detected yet as far as the euro is concerned.

There were reports swirling around yesterday that the ECB’s message regarding the reasons behind the euro’s well bid was being subject to over-interpretations from market players. The European Central Bank had previously stated that the EU economy was slowly gaining an upward momentum and is slowly achieving the goals set by the ECB. The market took this as a hint of the start of the QE and which will be reduced by the ECB in the succeeding months. However, yesterday’s reports have shown that the central bank might not be so keen on the said QE and could only mean that the eurozone’s economic risks were tapering off. This led to a minimal sell in the euro which, along with the USD strength, helped propel the EUR/USD towards 1.0700 points.

However, buyers can start buying this currency pair once it actually hits 1.0700 since the heavy support within this range can lead to more buys in this region. For today’s session, there are no major economic data coming from the eurozone but the US will be releasing its GDP data and this is expected to paint a general picture of the current state of the US economy.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: April 4, 2017

The EUR/USD pair traded consistently as the market is currently in the process of preparing itself for the series of economic data set to be released later this week. Analysts have been saying that the currency pair would most likely continue consolidating for a maximum of two days as part of the market’s preparation for the expected string of data coming out within the week. This is why the EUR/USD pair was trapped within a range of 40 pips for the entirety of yesterday’s session which is barely half of its usual range. This could be attributed to the majority of traders wanting to be on the safe side of the market as the 2nd quarter of the year begins.

The US released its ISM manufacturing data yesterday, with the said data meeting market expectations and has helped the USD to maintain its stance. The US Treasury yields plummeted during the NY session and had very little effect on the USD in spite of its major effect on stocks and the Japanese yen. The NFP report and the FOMC minutes are set to be released during the latter part of this week, and the market is now anticipating the statements coming from the Fed especially since Yellen had previously stated that the central bank’s stance on future rate hikes would depend on the state of the nation’s economic data.

For today’s session, ECB’s Draghi is set to make a speech during the NY session but since the central bank governor is known to be neutral when it comes to the ECB’s monetary policy, the market expects no impact coming from this statement and it is highly likely that the EUR/USD pair would only continue to consolidate between 1.0600-1.0700 points as it waits for significant pushes toward a definite direction.

USD/CAD Fundamental Analysis: April 5, 2017

The USD/CAD pair briefly made it towards 1.3400 points and even managed to surpass this region following a series of very dismal economic readings from the Canadian economy. However, the advancement of the Canadian dollar was almost immediately met with tremendous pressure from sellers, causing the CAD to retreat towards 1.3400 points. Analysts are now saying that unless the USD/CAD pair manages to surpass the large-scale selling at 1.3500 points, then the currency pair would be unable to make any significant progress as of now. But the pair’s bulls have yet to reveal how they plan to handle this dilemma in the pair as the USD is expected to be more level in the next few days on the back of an increase in oil prices.

The 1.3500 region has proven to be very crucial for the USD/CAD pair since the currency pair has been unable to overcome this pair for several times in a row. The currency pair would have to have large-scale buys in order to push past through this region and reach 1.4000 points. As of the moment, the Canadian economy has been throwing up some fairly decent economic data, although the Canadian trade balance data had somewhat paled and could be a precursor to a dismal future for the country’s economy. The trade balance data was at a negative while the market was expecting a positive reading, and this basically means that the country’s imports and exports are most likely to suffer in the long run.

However, the increase in oil prices could possibly provide a short-term breather for the Canadian economy, and since the USD is expected to experience short-term consolidations, the USD/CAD pair would most likely follow this particular trend and consolidate within 1.3300-1.3500 points. However, the pair is still not strong enough to surpass 1.3500 in the near future.

For today’s session, there are no releases from the Canadian economy but the US will be releasing several economic readings, such as the ADP employment change data and the FOMC meeting minutes. The NY session could possibly be met by a significant amount of volatility and if the pair’s price touches the 1.3500 range, then this could be a great opportunity for a stop loss.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: April 5, 2017

The GBP/USD pair continues to consolidate within the 1.2400-1.2500 region as the market is anticipating the release of the FOMC meeting minutes as well as other several important economic data which are all scheduled to be released today and later within the week. The market has previously been predicted to be generally very lackluster with little volatility levels due to several traders preparing themselves for the slew of economic data which will be released in the coming days.

The UK PMI data has just been released and since this has met initial market expectations, this has put a stopper to the dangerously high levels of selling which affected the GBP due to the disappointing economic data released last Monday. As of the moment, pound traders are teetering off the edge as the Brexit process has now officially commenced and since there are no clear expectations with regards to how the negotiations between the UK and EU officials are about to pan out, traders are uncertain whether to go short or long on the GBP/USD pair and is now waiting for the release of economic data today as this will be their basis for their trading decisions on the GBP/USD pair as well as to have an inkling with regards to the state of the economy.

The GBP/USD would most likely be bogged down by the uncertainties of the Brexit process, with UK citizens possibly cutting down on their spending habits as they prepare for the worst repercussions. Once everything clarifies, then it would enable a clearer analysis of Brexit as well as an accurate depiction of the UK economy. For today’s session, the UK PMI data will be released later and the US will also be releasing a slew of economic readings, such as the ADP Employment change data, the FOMC minutes, and the Manufacturing PMI data. These are all expected to induce volatility in the GBP/USD pair, with the pair possibly advancing towards 1.2600 points.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: April 5, 2017

The EUR/USD pair is still trading within a very limited range, although the pair’s bulls have somewhat managed to maintain its hold on the currency pair in spite of the pair’s inability to move in any definite direction for quite a while now. The pair’s bulls were initially expected to surrender its gains in order to enable the EUR to advance towards 1.0500 points at least prior to the FOMC meeting, but so far this has not yet occurred and it is possible that the minutes will be released with the EUR/USD pair still trapped within its current trading range.

The market was taken by surprise yesterday as Fed member Lacker tendered his resignation after admitting that he had leaked top-secret information with regards to the 2012 FOMC meeting to a certain financial institution. Lacker has also stated that the firm’s analysts had the said information but regardless of Lacker’s manipulation of the said statement, it remains clear that he has illegally leaked confidential information and subsequently resigned when the said scheme was revealed. The USD had surprisingly no reaction to to this particular news once it was released.

However, during today’s session, the USD backtracked across the board as the EUR/USD pair surged from 1.0650 points and traded very near its range highs of 1.0680 points. As of the moment, the market is now in a consolidating move as a lot of economic data are expected to be released later today. The ADP Employment Change data will be released today, which is an important piece of economic news since this is largely considered as a basis for the result of the NFP report. The US Manufacturing PMI data will also be released, followed by the FOMC minutes towards the close of the NY session. A volatility surge is expected prior to the release of the FOMC minutes and as such, traders are advised to tread very carefully with regards to trading with the EUR/USD pair. The pair’s bulls are most likely to dominate the pair and could enable the EUR/USD pair to inch higher during today’s series of sessions.
