Hi Traders, here is my analysis on EURCHF buys. This is based on the consensus for ECB today (in 36 mins of time of writing), which will create a short spike down for potential longs (if goes as planned). Combining this with the technicals, we can see 2 levels that are yet to be filled, on the weekly fib, and a daily fib. Of course, if news comes out the other...

Readings on the release is hawkish and structure is bullish on EU and EJ. So, we will see! Wait and see how price reacts and get ready too buy! Good Luck!

Once again the ECB is challenged with managing market expectations, while at the same time assuaging concerns within the governing council that the prospective tightening profile (if we can call it that) is starting to lag the growth seen (on average) in the region. Emphasis is being placed on the possible wording on the easing bias, which naturally is hard to...

All the major gloom on US currency has been priced by market participants this week, pulling back the index to 93.00 before the announcement of tax-cut package details. Thinner volume across the Pond, as well as elevated market concerns revealed the market majority preferred to cut wagers on US currency before fiscal stimulus news come out next week.

- following positive PMI data, this will bring the EUR back to area of resistance, however I believe the pair will retest this level leading to a bearish move towards the monthly support of 1.1450 - I believe the ECB will remain dovish in the upcoming meeting in regards to the QE programme as this is necessary to secure the gradual convergence of inflation towards...

Oversupply is steadily declining while Saudi Arabia's readiness for changes looks even more reliable against the backdrop of anti-corruption detentions in the higher echelons of power in the kingdom.

Oil futures turned out to be less volatile this week than forecasted, the level of $60 per barrel is at stake on the Brent benchmark and the Saudi prince is absolutely not shy to openly support the extension of oil pact after March 2018. WTI posts small losses on Friday as its buoyancy lags behind Brent’s as the increase in US output limits advance. The spread...

ECB European stock markets and the euro stood still in anticipation of the results of ECB meeting, while in the fixed income market there is a slight rush and the price of bonds is moderately growing. The yield of US Treasuries also fell after a rise to a seven-month peak on speculation about a new Fed head, likely to be a candidate with a more aggressive policy...

Despite the solid amount of bets on the hawkish outcome of ECB October meeting, where a decision should be made to cut money supply, Draghi does it all to play down the event. At the conference in Frankfurt, the president of ECB once again recalled positive aspects of cheap liquidity, saying that low rates create a window of opportunity for European governments...

Trump tax reform Predicting the failure of the Trump tax reform because of its scale and unclear double-side backwash, skeptics apparently understated the president's negotiation skills. Despite initial skepticism, the number of supporters of the tax cuts is growing rapidly among Republicans. On Monday, it was clear that the level of approval allows for rolling...

ECB prepares for the move On the eve of a turning-point meeting in October, the ECB provided deeper insight in its plans of tapering off the asset purchase program.

The official hinted at the ECB's high caution in this regard. It should be noted that the conduct of money supply shocks is a very sensitive and...

Catalonia Independence Independence in Catalonia as a harbinger of the political crisis in Spain. How can the division of the country could affect the euro? Any political crisis is a bad example for other peoples or nationalities wishing to take advantage of the right to self-determination (in the Spanish Constitution of 1978 there is no such right). In the...

Strong US GDP The data on US economy released on Tuesday was yet another proof that the Fed needs to raise rates in December. US GDP grew at a higher pace in the second quarter than expected. Inventories rose in August by 1 percent, reflecting the confidence of producers in improving consumer demand outlook. Curiously, GDP was resistant to a drop in inflationary...
