USD/JPY opens higher then backs off

Weekend missile strike on Syria hasn't led to much volatility in risk assets. USD/JPY actually gapped higher but then turned lower in the following hours. 106.75 - 107 is the initial support for this pair and 107.75 - 108 the resistance. U.S. retail sales is the event to keep an eye on today's calendar.

USD/JPY poised to extend gains, barring any shocks

It appears that the tide has turned in USD/JPY. While the pair is likely to fall further over the longer-term, shorter-term path of least resistance is to the upside. However, there are several themes going on (trade wars, Syria, increased stock market volatility), that have potential to escalate quickly, and lead to a substantial leg to the downside.

USD/CAD broke below 200 DMA

U.S. inflation report came in solid yesterday, FOMC Minutes were hawkish. Headlines regarding military intervention in Syria, however, have kept risk assets contained, as have renewed trade concerns. Canadian dollar is one exception, had a great week so far. USD/CAD fell about 270 pips (high to low) but momentum appears to be easing into 1.25 support. Broken 200 DMA should now act as an initial resistance.

French President I no longer view Assad’s removal as a precondition for anything, since I don’t see anyone who could become his legitimate successor

French President Emmanuel Macron signals the abandonment of regime change policy saying removal of President Assad from power is no longer France's "priority" which will focus on working with Russia to defeat Jihadi terrorism instead.
Newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron is the first Western leader to reflect the changed political realities in Syria caused by the recent advances of the Syrian army.
Specifically, Macron has confirmed that removing President Assad from power can no longe…

How Will the Syria Conflict Affect the Markets?

How Will the Syria Conflict Affect the Markets? Without a doubt, the situation in Syria is having an effect on the markets. Specifically, the threat of a US military intervention is affecting the price of oil in particular. For example, oil prices have slowly increased in price since the US government made it known that a military strike on Syria is likely to occur. Syria’s Effect on the Price of Oil While Syria produces a modest amount of oil at approximately 180,000 barrels per day, the count…

Syria continues to dominate. Where do we stand now?

United Nations: The inspection team has now arrived on site in Syria after 2 days of delays. Bank Ki-Moon says inspection team “needs time to do its job” in Syria. Whether the US, UK and France will wait for their findings remains to be seen. UN envoy Brahimi says international law is clear that UN Security Council resolution is needed for military action. That hasn’t exactly stopped it previously has it? Also, a UN nuclear watchdog report says Iran has expanded its uranium enrichment program a…

What is Next for Syria?

I don’t want to be too negative, but the escalation of violence in Syria is one of the scariest things I have come across since the Bay of Pigs Invasion! If the Assad regime is confirmed as using chemical weapons in an attack on the population - which allegedly has killed around 1000 people – the political ramifications could be huge. President Obama has already said that such an attack would signify a crossing of `the red line` and this morning, France has insinuated that force may well be nee…

one thing must be done. get off with any plans from Syria. stop financing or arming any islamist fanatics. Your neo-fascist regime now testing the patience of the rest of the world. Everything has been completely tired of your "care." Stop the policy of double standards and engage better with your internal problems, before it is too late, before you are not at the beginning of the same, that you have arranged in Libya, Egypt and Syria.
Boomerang always returns.

I think this whole terrorist rigmarole is first and foremost a chimera created by the western intelligence services, mostly British and US. You should read “The Age of Oil’ by Leonardo Maugeri. The Americans where losing the war, their planted well paid foreign mercenaries were switching sides. This is what they need to sell to the rest of the world to justify an invasion.

And of course, nothing like beating up on another country to distract people from issues at home, the US is hardly in a position to preach morality to the rest of the world and unfortunately for Syrians, Syria is just the easy-ish target of the moment which satisfies multiple political agendas. The pretence that Obama gives two squats about individual Syrians is a laughable facade and in any case, there was compelling evidence that it was the rebels who used the chemical weapons.
