Today’s Forecast for Important Trading Indicators

Market Movers

• EURUSD – Euro hits 1-Month low as German Import data disappoint, markets still price in elections results. Euro reached a fresh low 1.1757 against the Dollar on Tuesday ahead of Yellen’s speech due to worse than expected German Import Prices and the effect of the German election results. Yellen was neutral in her speech at the National Association for Business Economics Annual Meeting and data from the U.S. were not particularly positive for the U.S economy either. EURUSD is trading just above the 100% Fibonacci Extension, where the weekly support also is, as the 4 hour chart illustrates.

• USDJPY – Dollar higher against Yen despite Consumer Confidence and Home Sales tumble. Dollar moved near 100 pips higher against the Yen despite economic data from the largest economy in the world, surprisingly, came out worse than expected. The Dollar remained firm during Yellen’s speech and formed a double top against Yen at 112.53. Investors’ eye the many reports expected today starting with Durable Goods at 12:30 GMT.
• GBPUSD – Sterling drops lower despite UK and U.S data as Brexit negotiations. The British pound tumbled to a low of 1.3407 after European Council President Donald Tusk said that not enough progress has been made on trade discussions between UK and EU. The Pound has been under pressure since Moody downgraded the UK credit rating to its lowest ever, from Aa2 to Aa1, as fears that Brexit could harm economic growth raise.
• USOIL – Crude hits a 2-Year high despite tightening market, probabilities of a $60 per barrel increase. Crude Oil hit an above $52 per barrel price in Tuesday’s session as API report surprisingly saw a draw of 761k barrels in Crude Inventories. Demand could send the price of Oil to, or above, the $60 level, as OPEC is expected to extend cuts while the Kurdish referendum supports the bulls. Oil gets closer to the 161.80% Fibonacci Extension at 52.74, as the chart illustrates.

• XAUUSD – Gold falls below $1300 per ounce on strong Dollar after wild fluctuations were seen over the past few days. Gold plummeted despite the conflict between North Korea and the US and the negative US data as most investors anticipated Yellen’s remarks as hawkish. Gold closed $17 lower compared to Monday and cold be heading lower assuming Dollar’s strength does not subside. Today’s US data to be closely watched.
