  4. LiteForex NZD/USD: New Zealand dollar under pressure Current trend NZD reduced considerably against the US currency during trading on Thursday, August 31, marking a new local minimum since June 6. However, with the release of uncertain macroeconomic statistics from the USA the investor's sentiment has changed, and the instrument managed to regain the majority of lost positions by the closing of the daily session. The reason for negative NZD dynamics was weak statistics from New Zealand. Namely, business optimism index by RBNZ dropped from 19.4 to 18.3 points in August. During the morning session on September 1 the pair received moderate support from Chinese data. Manufacturing PMI Caixin grew from 51.1 to 51.6 points in August against the forecast of reduction to 50.9 points.

  5. LiteForex EUR/USD: the correction can end Current trend On Wednesday the pair was correcting and now has reached the level of 1.1865. The US currency growth is due to relative reduction of tense on the Korean peninsula and to positive economic data publication. The new North Korea missile launch didn’t lead to military USA response, moreover, Secretary of Defense James Mattis noted that the diplomatic possibilities of the conflict resolution are not exhausted, which resulted in outflow of investors from shelter assets. In addition, the USD was supported by preliminary USA GDP data (in the second quarter its growth exceeded the expectations and reached the level of 0.3%) and August ADP Non-Farm Employment Change data (instead of expected fall the indicator grew from 201K to 237K). At the moment the falling of the pair slowed, and it’s trading around 1.1890–1.1870. Investors are waiting for the EU Consumer Price Index publication, which is very important before the ECB meeting next week. The index is expected to grow from 1.3% to 1.4%, which can lead to the reversal of the price and the beginning of the new growth of EUR. Support and resistance Technically the pair is tending to the middle line of Bollinger Bands at the level of 1.1800, and after breakdown can go lower, to the area of 1.1720 (Murray ) and 1.1600 (Murray , Fibonacci correction 23.6%). The downward movement will develop in case of negative reaction of the market to the EU inflation data. The indicators confirm the possibility: Stochastic has reversed downwards, MACD histogram is decreasing in the positive zone. The upward trend will develop after the price is set above the level of 1.1960 (Murray ). In this case it can grow to the area of 1.2085 (Murray ) and 1.2200 (Murray ). Support levels: 1.1840, 1.1800, 1.1720, 1.1600. Resistance levels: 1.1960, 1.2085, 1.2200.

Canadian dollar showed weak reaction to the Tuesday release of Canadian macroeconomic statistics. Thus, the index of prices for raw materials dropped by 0.6% MoM after a fall by 3.6% last month. Manufacturing prices index dropped by 1.5% in July on a monthly bas after a fall by 1.1% in June. The real dynamics of the indicator was much worse than expected.

  7. LiteForex USD/JPY: USD remains under pressure Current trend US currency has been under pressure against the Japanese yen during the morning session on August 29 and has already updated local minimums since mid-April. The growth of "bearish" activities in the instrument was explained by yet another growth of demand for safe haven assets after the announcement about the launch of a missile from North Korea directed at Japan. By now USD managed to partially regain its positions. Among other factors, corrective growth was supported by uncertain data from Japan. For example, household expenses in July dropped unexpectedly by 0.2% YoY after growth by 2.3% in the previous month. Analysts predicted growth by 0.7% YoY. On Wednesday the market will be waiting for the release of information on Japanese retail sales in July as well as specified data on US GDP in Q2 2017. Support and resistance Bollinger Bands in D1 chart continue to gradually decrease. The price range is widening reacting to increased activity in the course of the morning session on August 29.

  8. LiteForex XAG/USD: silver keeps rising Current dynamics Silver is moderately growing during the morning session on August 28th, trading in close proximity to local highs, updated on August 18th. The instrument was supported by weak US currency, which was under pressure from disappointing results of the speech of the head of the Fed, Janet Yellen, at the annual symposium in Jackson Hole. Recall that investors were waiting for comments on the prospects for monetary policy. In particular, traders were interested in the reduction of the Fed's balance sheet, which the regulator representatives themselves talked about so much. Instead, Yellen confined herself to general issues on financial stability and regulation in the banking sector. On Monday, the only published indicators would be the ones of business activity in the industrial sphere of the Dallas Fed in August. Against this background, we can expect that the pair will maintain its upward mood and come close to the previous local highs. Support and resistance The indicator "Bollinger bands" on the daily chart is slightly growing, and can still turn sideways. The price range is narrowing, reflecting the multidirectional nature of trading in recent days. The MACD indicator keeps a weak buy signal (the histogram is located above the signal line).

Support levels: 17.00, 16.89, 16.73 (minimum of August 25), 16.62, 16.48. Trading tips To open long positions, one can rely on a breakdown of level 17.16, provided that the technical indicators do not contradict the development of the "bullish" trend. Take-profit – 17.38. Stop loss is at 17.00. Term of realization: 2 days. If the level of 17.16 turns out to be an insurmountable obstacle for the bulls, it is worth considering the possibility of sales with a target in the area of 16.73. Stop loss – 17.30-17.80. Term of realization: 2-3 days. Read more analytic on LiteForex site https://www.liteforex.com/trading/forex-analysis/

Kaplan mentioned that the politics and investors should be patient and reasonable in waiting for the new interest rate rise.
