Fundamentals:- Although there was some weak data from the US last week as a whole the economy is still on the upside. Non Farm payrole figures came in better than expected whilst unemployment creeped back up t 4% from 3.8%. Average hourly earnings also dropped from 0.3% to 0.2%. Over the long term I don't expect this to hold the USD down for any length of time. ...
Fundamentals:- The RBA will be making there rate announcement next week which is not expected to change. There is concern over the levels of consumer debt at the moment and lagging GDP.

Fundamentals:- After the CPI readings from Canada last week I am expecting a continuation of this turn around. As the currency is commodity linked to WTI crude, which was the main driver in strength for the Canadian dollar last week, The WTI price seems to be lacking any more upward drive. Also the US is still expected to raise rates further as the average hourly ...
Fundamentals:- We had quite a turmoil last week with the trade war possibilities and then at the weekend with the strikes on Syria. I was up in arms about what to trade this week when I realised the Retail sales figures for the US on Monday are expected to come in much better than previous. Not only that but the strikes on Syria are supposed to be a single message ...
