Today’s Forecast for Important Trading Indicators
Market Movers
- GBPUSD – CABLE corrects at 23.6% Fibonacci following a rejection at $1.40 and Carney’s remarks. STERLING picked up versus the DOLLAR in Tuesday’s session following a substantial downmove to test the 1.4000 support area. The pair rebounded as UK Gov Carney expects GDP growth to increase. In addition, he stated than the 2016 vote has only knocked 1% of GDP off. GBPUSD trades near $1.42.
- EURUSD – EURO soars amid Euro-wide data, retraces as US Equities tumble. EURO found a daily low at the previous support formed in Tuesday’s session near $1.233 and surged to a high of $1.2453 following a strong 2017 GDP release. The pair lost its early gains and closed the session mixed as the US Stocks declined while the earnings reporting approaches, taking DOLLAR to a higher level. Markets eye the CPI release at 10:00 GMT.
- USDJPY – DOLLAR struggles to move away from recent low, closes unchanged as global Stocks dip. Bullish YEN continued adding pressure to the US DOLLAR yesterday as Asian Equity markets saw big intraday losses.

EIA expected to reports its own stocks figures today at 15:30 GMT.
- XAUUSD – GOLD trades in a range ahead of FOMC, follows DOLLAR as announcement weighs in. Spot GOLD traded sideways in Tuesday’s session led by a mixed DOLLAR ahead of the Fed’s rate Statement.
