Dollar Slips On Trump Comments

August 21, 2018 in /by

Dear Traders, Despite a relatively quiet start to the new week, buyers in both EUR/USD and GBP/USD were able to book some profit. During the Asian session we saw the U.S. dollar extending its slide against its major peers after comments from U.S. President Donald Trump who said that he was “not thrilled” with Federal […]

ECB Meeting Unlikely To Move Euro Exchange Rate

July 26, 2018 in /by

Dear Traders, It’s decision day at the European Central Bank today but whether this event risk carries much weight will depend on ECB President Mario Draghi’s comments at the ECB press conference. Traders are looking for hints on when interest rates will begin to rise but ECB policy makers suggested earlier that a rate hike […]

GBP/USD Holds Above 1.30

July 19, 2018 in /by

Dear Traders, Sellers in the GBP/USD remained in control after the U.K. CPI fell short of expectations. The soft inflation report is making a BoE rate hike next month less likely than previously expected. The pound tested the 1.3010-mark but was later able to stabilize above 1.3050. Higher resistances could now come in at 1.3150 […]

July 18, 2018 in /by

Dear Traders, The biggest story in the market was the sharp drop of the British pound as sellers have shown-up in the GBP/USD following hawkish comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. With the U.S. economy remaining in good shape despite recent worries about trade tensions, the FOMC believes that “the best way forward is to […]

GBP/USD: Time For Bullish Breakout?

July 17, 2018 in /by

Dear Traders, The euro proved unable to significantly overcome the 1.1720-hurdle, at least for now. Thus, there was nothing to gain for euro bulls at the beginning of this week. The British pound reversed shy off 1.33 and consolidated between 1.3250 – 1.3215. We may see more volatile movements today with U.K. employment numbers scheduled […]

Quiet Trading

July 13, 2018 in /by

Dear Traders, U.S. inflation data came in line with expectations whereupon the dollar gave up some of its gains. However, the greenback had a rather mixed day while it ended yesterday’s trading day virtually unchanged against the euro and British pound. Generally speaking, it seems that many market participants refrain from taking any larger positions […]

Focus On U.S. CPI

July 12, 2018 in /by

Dear Traders, Technically speaking, we got what we were looking for: A breakout of the cable’s consolidated price range. The GBP/USD broke below 1.3230 after the pair failed to overcome the 1.3285-barrier. The downward movement was mainly due to a strengthening U.S. dollar. Also, the EUR/USD fell victim to a new round of dollar strength […]
