Dear Traders, The EUR/USD sold off on the back of a dovish ECB announcement on the one side and a strengthening U.S. dollar on the other side. European Central Bank policy makers agreed to cut monthly bond purchases in half to EUR30 billion in January but extend the bond buys at this pace until September […]
Dear Traders, It’s decision day at the European Central Bank and traders in all EUR crosses brace for heightened volatility at this highly anticipated event that will bring forth news on the pace of the ECB’s quantitative easing program (QE). The euro traded higher against the U.S. dollar ahead of today’s announcement since the ECB […]
Dear Traders, The EUR/USD is still consolidating within a narrow trading range as it waits for the ECB announcement to encourage volatility. Tomorrow’s ECB announcement is expected to bring a cut of the central bank’s monthly purchases to EUR30B but there is speculation that ECB policy makers may favour a dovish taper in the effort […]
Dear Traders, There was nothing to gain for traders of the EUR/USD and GBP/USD on Monday. Both major currency pairs were little changed with larger price fluctuations being absent. The euro fell to a low of 1.1725 before reversing its losses towards 1.18. In sum, trading the EUR/USD lately did not serve us well since […]
Dear Traders, Positive developments in Washington and hopes that the U.S. tax reform bill could pass the House have been supportive for the U.S. dollar. The greenback advanced against the euro and British pound, driving both EUR/USD and GBP/USD towards important support levels. The U.S. Senate adopted a fiscal 2018 budget resolution on Thursday that […]
Dear Traders, The pound fell after yesterday’s Bank of England testimony from Governor Mark Carney was less hawkish than hoped. While Carney sticks with his view that policy adjustments would likely be made in the coming months he said the central bank is making contingency plans for a “hard” Brexit. Despite the U.K. inflation print […]
Dear Traders, Trading was relatively quiet on Monday with the EUR/USD trading within a narrow 40-pip range. The picture was different in the GBP/USD, which started the week with volatile swings ranging from a daily high of 1.3312 to a low of 1.3225. As mentioned in our analysis from Monday, the pound sterling is currently […]
Dear Traders, The biggest story in the market on Thursday was the British pound which experienced a roller coaster ride. The GBP/USD initially dropped to a low of 1.3121 from where a sharp reversal started, quickly pushing the pound towards 1.33. The reason for the sharp price rise was a report, saying that Europe’s top […]
Dear Traders, Yesterday was dominated by a weakening U.S. dollar, which extended its slide against the euro and British pound after the market interpreted the FOMC minutes as slightly dovish. While Fed policy makers see another rate hike this year, many issued concern that low inflation was not a temporary phenomenon. The priced-in probability of […]
Dear Traders, The U.S. dollar’s relief rally has lost some momentum with both EUR/USD and GBP/USD heading upwards. From a technical perspective it is noteworthy that the important resistance levels in both major currency pairs are still unbroken, at least for now. The greenback may receive attraction ahead of the FOMC meeting minutes which are […]
