FxGrow Fundamental Analysis – 03rd March, 2017 By FxGrow Investment Research Desk Forex Technical Levels Ahead Of Yellen Speech Today Fundamentals: Markets, analysts, and traders are all poised ahead Fed chair Mrs. Yellen speech today at 6:00 PM GMT and what would result from her speech. Recent appearance of FOMC members kaplan, Harker, Evans, Brainnard, and Powel boosted US Dollar significantly as US Dollar index added +$1.6 from Monday with a 12-Jan-fresh-highs at $102.26. All members were in accord waving the Fed Rates hike card, now important more than ever.

  22. FxGrow Fundamental Analysis – 15th Feb, 2017 By FxGrow Investment Research Desk Crude Oil Slips Slightly Over OPEC Compliance Doubts 1- Crude Oil Fundamentals: Oil prices made a minor downward correction yesterday, and continued today, after concerns aroused that OPEC cartels wont be able to sustain the high compliance on the long run so far with output cuts aimed at reining in a global fuel supply overhang. OPEC and other producers, including Russia have agreed to trim output production by almost 1.8 million bpd during the first half of 2017. BMI Research group mentioned that OPEC with its intent production cut, was down by 1.08M bpd based on calculation at 92.8%. But it warned that a much lower compliance rate of just 40 percent by Iraq, OPEC's second biggest producer, "could prove problematic to group cohesion" as other members of the producer club will have to go beyond their targets in order to meet the overall target of 1.2 million bpd in the first half of 2017. (Reuters). On the other hand, US with constant efforts to meet OPEC end means and recompense market shortage of possible demand, has increased drilling and oil production surged 6.5% since mid-2016 at 8.98M dpd. Conclusion: The ebb and flow continues between OPEC and USA with opposed interest on oil price levels. OPEC has managed to increase crude oil prices since end of 2016 and beginning 2017 at $55.22 high, on average 33 days at $52.57. The US efforts has only managed to curb oil price not to exceed $58-$62 as OPEC's target and analysts forecasts. Add to that, recent industrial global growth in the US, and China leaves one but only wonder how will the US play along with OPEC and the growing or increasing market demand for oil. Remark : Look forward for US crude oil inventories today at 3:30 PM GMT as they tend to have a huge impact on oil technical levels. 2- Technical levels: Trend: Bullish Sideways Daily Pp : 53.22 Resistance levels : R1 53.21, R2 53.62 , R3 54.17 Support levels : S1 52.70, S2 52.21, S3 51.76 Remark : Look forward for US crude inventories today at 3:30 PM GMT.
