Daily FX Market Roundup 09.15.17

Good Morning All;
would say thanks to the Bank of England, U.S. data and North Korea, it was an extremely lively day in the foreign exchange market.
The big story was the BoE who voted 7-2 to leave interest rates unchanged. This decision was not a surprise and actually caused a knee jerk dip in GBP/USD but within seconds the pair reversed as the minutes showed a majority of monetary policy members seeing "scope for stimulus reduction in the coming months."
As the Bank of England prepares to join…

USDJPY Breaks 110

Good Evening All;
USD/JPY may have taken out 110 but we did not see broad based gains for the greenback today. The dollar traded higher versus the Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc and Canadian dollar but it lost value against the euro, sterling, Australian and New Zealand dollars. With no major U.S. economic reports released today, the gains in the greenback were driven by the continued rise in U.S. yields. However yields are also the reason why the dollar underperformed euro and pound. While 10 year T…

25 Nov. 2016 Forex Market In detail.


Good Morning All

The US dollar steadied after breaking past more of last year's peaks against the euro on Thursday, with only the March 2015 high of $1.0457 standing in the way of a push towards parity that banks are again saying is on the cards. The US dollar hit an eight-month high against the yen and an almost 14-year high against a basket of currencies that measures its broader strength. The dollar's surge is based largely on a belief that Donald Trump's presidency will witness a bump in …

Good Morning Dukascopy FxComm;
my 24 Nov. Currency Analysis.

The DXY, which tracks the greenback against the six major currencies, rose 0.6% to 101.63, after earlier soaring to a 13-1/2 year peak of 101.91. It has climbed more than 3% since Pre…

EURo Parity or No ?

Morning Users;
the Dollar bulls remained in control today with the greenback moving higher against most of the major currencies. EUR/USD spent the entire North American trading session below 1.09 while USD/JPY traded as high as 122.65. The recent reversal in the euro has many investors wondering whether the euro parity party is back on. Parity has always been a headline grabbing target that main street likes to focus on but seasoned traders like ourselves know that these overstretched goals are …
