FX Strategy

In the G10 currencies today, USD and NZD are among the top gainers while CHF and JPY are the worst performers. USD is firming today given strong manufacturing PMI numbers and unexpectedly high Adp employment change yesterday. AUD was also subdued following weak trade balance data overnight. Elsewhere, the German Retail sales reported unexpectedly strong numbers (2.3% actual vs 1.1% expected) but we may not see much of an EUR move before inflation rate later today. In the equities space, the Nikk…

Comment 1 - At the meeting of the FOMC, the Fed has apparently given no change regarding the monetary policy. The interest rate remains at 0.25%, this can be analyzed as a possible neutral on chart analysis.  In consideration of the American economy scenario it is possible to forecast a slightly bullish tendency.

Comment      2  - The USD is in a bearish tendency against other major currencies after data showed a smaller improvement than expected non-farm payrolls data in July, weighing on expectations of a rise in interest rates.  The payroll processing company ADP reported that nonfarm employment has seen an increase of around 185,000 new jobs, against a forecast of 215,000 units. So the SGD  can have a recovery .

foreignexchange avatar

Comment 3 -  The NFP release marginally disappointed the USD bulls. The  215,000 in the NFP values  did not improve the 225,000 units forecasted but the result can be  evaluated as profitable for an improvement of the interest rate. So it is possible a bullish trend for the UD/GD pair

Comment 4 - The 27/08/2015 GDP release indicates the improvement of the US economy.
The cyclic technical analysis and the  NFP  forecast could support the USD/SGD bullish trend

Comment 5 - At the opening of  week 30/08/2015 the pair USD/SGD pattern indicates a slightly bullish propency. This trend can be supported by the positive linear regression slope and the bullish parabolic Sar.
