Today’s Forecast for Important Trading Indicators

Market Movers

• EURUSD – EURO rally halts as German Inflation subsides, EURUSD rejection at FE 100% confirmed. EURO posted no gains or losses in the Tuesday session following a rejection at the 1.2290 Fibonacci Extension after German WPI data disappointed investors. Euro-Dollar has since turned in to a consolidation mode where a range is clearly seen and is likely to carry on today unless if the EU Final CPI signals otherwise.

• USDJPY – DOLLAR supports extensive losses at the bottom of the descending channel. DOLLAR ended Tuesday on the defensive after a series of consecutive bearish sessions and erased all intraday bounce-gains versus the YEN while price action remained weak above the 61.80% Fibonacci Retracement. In addition, the Empire State Manufacturing Index posted lower figures than anticipated. Today’s economic indicators eyed by investors.

• GBPUSD – The British Pound edged lower from day’s high amid UK inflation print. Cable closed Tuesday’s session unchanged following a negative CPI report; inflation figures still much higher than the 2.0% target. Market participants expect MPC Member Saunders to speak at the Financial Intermediary and Broker Association inaugural conference in London to decide on trading opportunities.
• USOIL – USOIL slips as correction imminent, prices drop to $63.75 per barrel. Oil lost some steam as investors started taking profits after news that analysts see a soon-to-come correction as prices have increased over 13% in the last month alone. API’s weekly report due today at 21:30 GMT.
• XAUUSD – DOLLAR attempts to defend, GOLD still strong yet reversal possible. Spot GOLD closed the session mixed yesterday following pressured by the US counterpart taking ounce marginally lower at $1338/oz compared to $1339.7/oz. Traders look forward to US economic indicators to decipher whether a reversal is, or is not, in play.
