riki143 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Recent economic developments for AUD 9/8/2016 After Australian Q2 GDP release had been published, it became clear that expectations of economists were almost fully justified: the 0.5% quarterly expansion was slightly off the 0.6% pace predicted, on top of this, the year-over-year expansion was at the 4-year high of 3.3%. Bearish reaction of speculators was predefined since the RBA is still expected to be dovish in the forthcoming future. Although Australia showed 100 quarters without a recession, domestic demand in Western Australia fell by 2.5%, households carry on massive debt loads and the economic picture may deteriorate, because the mining boom is over. According to the recent data of the Australian bureau of Statistics released earlier today, after seasonal adjustments, the trade deficit of Australia narrowed to $2.41 billion. In addition, the value of exports increased by 3% to $26.214 billion, thanks to a hefty contribution from non-monetary gold exports. AUD/USD rose to 0.7700 on the news. Strong national currency is believed to be a primary cause of concerns for Australian central bank. A possible reduction of the interest rates can be viewed as a very effective pill for the sluggish Australian economy. Therefore, despite Glenn Stevens’s decision to leave the RBA’s interest rates unchanged, we may expect the opposite move from the RBA in the months ahead, according to some economic experts. September meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia was the last for Stevens as its governor: from now on he will be replaced by the deputy governor Philip Lowe.

riki143 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Forex trading plan for September 9 9/8/2016 USD: US unemployment claims were a bit better – lower – than expected (259K vs. 264K). FOMC Member Rosengren will speak at 11:45 GMT on Friday. EUR: The European Central Bank left the key interest rates unchanged and said that expects them to stay at current or lower levels for an extended period of time. The regulator didn’t extend QE program beyond March 2017, but promised to do so if necessary. The ECB President Mario Draghi said that the central bank realizes that there are constrains to its current QE program and that the matter is being studied, but gave no details about that. The euro area’s economic growth and inflation forecasts were revised to the downside, but very slightly. The single currency rose as analysts expected more dovishness from Draghi. EUR/USD rose above 1.1300. Next target on the upside lies at 1.1360. Support is at 1.1230, 1.1200 and 1.1150. GBP: There were no important releases in the UK on Thursday. GBP/USD made another step down approaching support at 1.3300. Decline below this level will open the way down to 1.3235/00. Resistance is at 1.3375. JPY: Japan’s final GDP growth for Q2 was revised a bit to the upside, though the nat5ion’s current account surplus narrowed. Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Hiroshi Nakaso said the central bank would not rule out deepening negative interest rates or any other easing steps needed to achieve its price target, but gave few fresh clues on whether the BOJ will expand monetary stimulus this month. USD/JPY was little changed in 101.70 area. Increase above 101.90 will let to a correction to 102.35. Decline below 101.50 will open the way down to 101.00 and potentially 100.70. AUD: Aussie surged as Australia’s trade deficit narrowed and China's imports unexpectedly rose in August. AUD/USD was testing levels above 0.7700. The ability of Australia dollar to continue gains depends on whether the pair manages to close above this mark. Next resistance is at 0.7770, while support is at 0.7650.

riki143 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 USD/CAD & Employment Change: Is the next target placed at 1.30 handle? 9/9/2016 In Canada, at 12:30 GMT we'll have the Employment Change's release and the analysts are expecting a change from -31.2K to 15.0K and with that scenario, CAD pairs should see volatility during the event. During Thursday, BoC's Lane said that the job market is still recovering and that could give us an idea of what will happen with the jobs data in Canada for coming months. Let's see if the indicator shows an improvement for August. Our technical analysis for USD/CAD at H4 chart is calling for a rebound continuation towards the resistance zone of 1.3003, where the 200 SMA is located. Also, there is a bullish trend line placed from August 18th session and is acting as dynamic support. If we see a positive number during today's release, then the pair should break that trend line and it can find support once again at the 1.2777 level, while in the another scenario, a consolidation above the 1.3003 zone should push higher to the pair towards the 1.3133 level on a first degree.

riki143 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 EUR/USD: bulls made a stop 9/9/2016 On the daily EUR/USD chart the bulls failed to settle above the lower border of the bullish trend channel. If another attack on resistance at 1.1330 is successful, the risks of continuation towards 1.1415 and 1.1462 will increase. The nearest support levels are at 1.126-1.127 and 1.123. On H1 EUR/USD the bulls failed to break resistance at 1.1313 from the first attempt, which would become a signal of a break in bearish trend. If another attempt to break higher fails at 1.1293 and 1.1313, the pair will form a "Head and shoulders" pattern. As a result, the pair may slide to 1.123 and 1.1206.

riki143 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Trade balance and exchange rate: what you need to know 9/9/2016 Trade balance and exchange rate: what you need to know Perhaps every trader while reading financial news comes across some incomprehensible concepts or just cannot trace the correlations between economic events and their reflection in statistics. We have decided to give you a hand in the vortex of this information and fill you in on any of the characteristics of forex market and exchange rate determinants. Filling the gaps in our knowledge of the trade deficit and exchange rates correlation To take a stab at helping you to understand the pressure that trade deficits might exert on the exchange rates, let me challenge you with some definitions. Let’s look at something called the balance of payments. It is a record of all economic transactions between the residents of a certain country and the rest of the world for a given period of time. It consists of sub-accounts – the current account and the financial account. The current account records the sale and purchase of goods and services as well as unilateral transfers, whereas the capital (or financial) account records transactions of purchase and sale of foreign assets and liabilities during a particular year. So when the US buys TVs from China, that should be recorded in the US current account. Thus, when Americans spend a whaling sum of money on Chinese goods, the people of China have only two things to do with that money in order to keep their balance of payments. They can buy US goods in return, or they can buy US financial assets (like stocks and bonds). And the later transactions will be already recorded in the other side of the account – the financial one. If consumers, governments or business of a certain country are searching to buy more staff than their country is producing domestically, they have to import it. So there is a trade deficit that has to be mitigated by selling financial assets to pay for the imports. If a country doesn’t take measures to eliminate this trade deficit, it may reduce its national indicators (GDP, in particular). Takeaways: Trade surplus creates demand for the country’s currency and makes its exchange rate go up. Impact on exchange rates Once we shed light on some essential definitions, let us procced to the very essence of this article – the link between trade deficits and exchange rates. When a country exports more than it imports (in other words, when the difference between exports and imports is positive), the country is having a trade surplus; there is a high demand for its goods and thus for its currency. Law of demand states that when demand is high, prices rise and thus the currency appreciates in value. Alternatively, when the opposite is true, when a country imports more than it exports, there is relatively less demand for its currency, so prices reduce. In this case, the country is experiencing a trade deficit, its currency automatically depreciates, and the country’s GDP is shrinking.

riki143 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 NZD/CHF reached buy target 0.7220 9/9/2016 NZD/CHF reached buy target 0.7220 Next sell targets - 0.7150 and 0.7100 NZD/CHF continues to decline – following the earlier downward reversal from the resistance zone lying at the intersection of the key resistance level 0.7220 (top of the previous sharp impulse wave 3 and the buy target set in our earlier forecast for this currency pair), upper daily Bollinger Band and the resistance trendline of the wide weekly up channel from January. Given the strength of the aforementioned resistance zone - NZD/CHF is expected to correct down further to the next sell target at the support level 0.7150 – the breakout of which can lead to further losses toward 0.7100.

riki143 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 US dollar: outlook for September 12-18 9/9/2016 US ISM services PMI showed dramatic decline of 4.1 points in August falling to 6-month low. This together with disappointing nonfarm payrolls and contraction in manufacturing hurt positions of the US dollar bulls. By the end of the week, however, American currency managed to recover. The odds of the Federal Reserve’s rate hike in September remain low, but its probability rose, according to CME futures tool, from 15% at the beginning of the week to 24% at its end. Market players are still unsure and ready to change their expectations. That’s why attention to the forthcoming American data releases will be high. The US will release a big block of economic statistics on Thursday: retail sales, producer prices, Philly Fed manufacturing index, unemployment claims, current account, Empire State manufacturing index and industrial production. In addition, don’t miss the speech of FOMC member Lael Brainard on Monday: there’s speculation that she may deliver some hawkish comments that will be positive for the US dollar. Still, the greenback’s ability to strengthen on hawkish hints from the Fed should be limited: although some members of the central bank clearly try to keep the expectations of September rate hike alive, after the recent weaker economic figures the market won’t attach much importance to these attempts. Analysts at Sociate Generale point out that despite weaker data from the United States Forex market doesn’t offer good alternatives to USD. Yields in the euro area and Japan are negative. The highest yields are currently offered by the New Zealand, but NZD has already strongly appreciated during the recent month. The downside of the US dollar index was limited by the support line from May lows in 94.50 area. Resistance is located at 96.15 – resistance line connecting August highs.

riki143 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 EUR/USD: outlook for September 12-18 9/9/2016 EUR/USD tested levels above 1.1300 during the past week, but failed to settle at highs. The single currency strengthened as traders were disappointed by the European Central Bank’s decision not to ease monetary policy. The ECB signaled that it is ready to increase stimulus in future, but gave no hints on exactly what and when it plans to do. As the possibility of the US Federal Reserve lowering rates in September remains low, monetary policy divergence between the ECB and the Fed has weakened and the downward pressure on EUR/USD declined. At the same time, the amount of the market’s net short positions on the euro wasn’t high, so the squeeze of these positions won’t be able to produce sustainable growth of the European currency. If comments of the Fed’s members next week are hawkish, we will actually see lower levels of the pair. As for Europe’s economic calendar, the ECB president Mario Draghi will speak on Tuesday. Also watch the release of German and euro area’s ZEW economic sentiment indexes. The region’s industrial production will be published on Wednesday and final inflation and trade balance will be released on Thursday. The inability of EUR/USD to hold above 100-week MA (currently at 1.1268) means that further growth of the pair will likely be limited: it seems that higher levels of the single currency attract sellers. Support for the pair is provided by the moving averages: 100-day MA just above 1.1200, 50-day and 200-day MAs close to 1.1150.

riki143 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 EUR/USD: "V-Bottom" led to bullish correction 9/12/2016 The price faced a support on the Moving Averages, which led to form a “V-Bottom” pattern. So, the market is likely going to reach a resistance at 1.1270 – 1.1282 in the short term. However, if a pullback from this area happens, there’ll be an opportunity to have another decline towards a support at 1.1196 – 1.1181. As we can see on the one-hour chart, there’s a “V-Bottom” pattern, so the price achieved a resistance at 1.1251. It’s likely that bulls are going to reach the next resistance at 1.1282 during the day. At the same time, bears will have a chance for a kind of revenge in we see a pullback from this resistance.

Therefore, it’s likely to see an upward price movement in the direction of a resistance at 1.3302 – 1.3345. However, if a pullback from this area be on the table, bears will probably try to get a support on the 89 Moving Average. We’ve got a pullback from a support at 1.3251, so there’s a consolidation in progress. Also, there’s a “Double Bottom” pattern, so bulls are likely going to reach the next resistance at 1.3318 – 1.3334.

riki143 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Oil glut can drain oil bulls’ purses 9/12/2016 More supply is coming on to the oil market, with post-sanctions Iran stepping up production, the US adding drill rigs by seven to 414 according to the last week data from industry group Baker Hughes, Saudi Arabia’s rush for profits and never-ending rivalry between Gulf nations producing oil at almost their full capacity. The chances of an end to unrest in Libya and Nigeria, Venezuelan aspiration to revive its oil production once it manages to recover from its social and economic problems and waning refinery demand for crude oil are adding fuel to the flame. You do not have to be a prophet to expect a drop of oil prices if the forthcoming future. There is a slight possibility that the 15th International Energy Forum (IEF15) scheduled for the 26-28th of September this year will make any difference to the discernable trend of falling prices in the oil market. Therefore, many analysts have already started to warn oil bulls to be prepared for financial losses.

riki143 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 GBP/USD: outlook for Sep. 12-18 9/12/2016 Last week economic data from the United Kingdom were mixed. On the one hand, services PMI showed the biggest gain in 2 decades. On the other hand, manufacturing production, a key indicator, suffered in July from a bigger-than-expected decline of 0.9%. Britain will release inflation data on Tuesday, labor market figures on Wednesday and retail sales on Thursday. The forecasts are mixed. On Friday the UK won’t attend European Union summit for the first since it joined in 1973. The Bank of England will meet on Thursday. The regulator is expected to keep the interest rate unchanged taking a “wait-and-see” approach after slashing growth forecasts and increasing monetary stimulus in August. Traders will pay great attention to the meeting minutes to see how the central bank evaluates the UK economy after Brexit vote, given that the nation’s economic figures tend to be better than expected. Last month the BOE signaled a possibility of further monetary easing this year, so it will be interesting to know whether they changed their mind or not. For now, most economists expect British central bank to lower the benchmark rate once again this year. Also don’t forget that the market’s attitude towards the US dollar will also have an impact on the pair. GBP/USD formed last week a bearish candle with a long upper shadow – a bearish signal. It looks like the pair formed a temporary top at 1.3445. The pair closed on Friday below the important 1.3300 mark and looks vulnerable for decline to 1.3180/50 (bottom of the daily Ichimoku Cloud, 50-day MA). Below this level the next support will be at 1.3085. Resistance is at 1.3375 and 1.3445.

riki143 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 USD/JPY: outlook for Sep. 12-18 9/12/2016 Traders continue trying to guess whether the Bank of Japan will add to its aggressive monetary stimulus. So far the representatives of Japanese monetary authorities spoke much about the necessity of further monetary easing, but gave no hints that the BOJ will act this month. The lack of strong hints on easing limits USD/JPY on the upside. Japanese core machinery orders, the leading indicator of capital spending, rose by 4.9% in July, though a decline was expected. Other data releases from Japan this week include BSI manufacturing index on Tuesday and revised industrial production on Wednesday. The most important events for USD/JPY will be in the US economic calendar. Also pay attention to China’s industrial production due on Tuesday – the release will be important for the market’s risk sentiment. Better Chinese figures increase investors’ appetite for risk and decrease demand for the yen and vice versa. Monday started with risk aversion for investors and lower USD/JPY because of lower stocks. USD/JPY keeps trading below 2016 resistance line. Still the pair managed to close last week significantly above the minimums. Support is located at 101.20 ahead of 99.75. Resistance lies at 103.65 (bottom of the daily Ichimoku Cloud, trend line resistance) ahead of 104.15. These levels should be attractive for short positions.

riki143 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 AUD/USD: outlook for Sep. 12-18 9/12/2016 Last week the Reserve Bank of Australia left the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 1.50% and didn’t express concerns with current levels of Australian dollar’s exchange rate. Australian dollar rose on the news, but failed to stay near highs. AUD/USD formed a bearish candle last week with a long upper shadow and closed below 100-week MA – a signal that Australian currency will likely test lower levels. Demand for Aussie was hit by the markets risk aversion and expectations of hawkish comments from the US Federal Reserve’s members. Support lies in the 0.7485 area (100-day MA) and at 0.7395 (200-day MA, 2016 support line). The break below the latter will make the selloff intensify. Australia will release NAB business confidence on Tuesday and labor market data on Thursday. Representatives of the Reserve Bank of Australia will speak on Monday and Wednesday. In addition, China August data on industrial production on Tuesday. After a slowdown in July, investors will be looking for signs of stability in the world’s second-largest economy. Good figures will support Aussie, while lower data, on the contrary will be a reason to sell the currency.

riki143 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 EUR/USD: "Window" waiting for bears 9/12/2016 There’s a support by the 55 Moving Average. Also, we’ve got a “Shooting Star” and a “Harami” patterns, which both have been confirmed enough. Therefore, it’s likely to have another test of the nearest support levels. As we can see on the Daily chart, today’s candle try to confirm the previously formed “Shooting Star”. So, the market is likely going to reach the 34 and 55 Moving Averages. The last “Doji” pattern has done a great job, so we’ve got a “Three Black Crows” pattern here. In this case, the price is likely going to continue falling down toward the nearest “Window”.
