After a successful test of the 1.4000 level, the Euro is once again posting strong gains as traders boost bets that the European Central Bank will begin raising interest rates as early as next week.

Euro Weakens after Nearing Top at 1.3861

Posted by Forexhound on February 25th, 2011

The Euro backed off in Asian trading after nearing the February 2 top at 1.3861. Although the slight break from the high at 1.3837 has the appearance of a daily closing price reversal top-in-the-making, there isn’t an apparent reason for the break at this time except perhaps the lack of fresh buyers.

News from the European Central Bank that overnight lending at the 1.75% penalty rate spiked 15.8 billion ($21.4 billion), the highest since June 2009, pressured the Euros overnight. Reports circulating suggest that this spike may be related to renewed problems in the Euro-Zone periphery.

After changing the main trend to up on the daily chart on the breakout through 1.5911, the British Pound appears to be shifting to a corrective mode which may mean the start of a short-term correction to 1.5702 to 1.5618.

The British Pound rebounded against the Dollar after recovering from a sharp sell-off on Tuesday into a key 50% price level at 1.5974. Additional support was provided by an uptrending Gann angle at 1.5950.

The December E-mini S&P 500 is trading flat after posting a closing price reversal top on Tuesday. The lack of follow-through to the downside means the signal hasn’t been confirmed yet, setting up the possibility of a rally back to 1215.50.

U.S. equity markets closed slightly higher after a spurt to the upside following a better than expected U.S. jobs report. Buying pressure died shortly after the major indices reached their highest levels in more than two years.

U.S. equity markets as well as December Crude Oil and December Gold are trading lower this morning, after the government reported a 3.3% rise in September Durable Goods orders.

The U.S. Dollar is trading sharply lower against all major currencies after the Group of 20 finance ministers and central bankers over the weekend failed to come up with any plan to shore up the Greenback.

U.S. Dollar Lower after Early Volatility

Posted by Forexhound on October 22nd, 2010

The U.S. Dollar is expected to open lower against most major currencies after failing to hold on to overnight gains from the Asian session.

Shortly before the New York opening, investors seem a little reluctant to be short the Greenback as finance ministers from the Group of 20 nations meet in South Korea.
