UFXBank Daily News: USD falls against most major currencies

Posted by admin on October 5, 2011 under forex market | Be the First to Comment

USD Dollar (USD) – In forex trading,  the US Dollar fell against most major currencies after Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, said that the central bank is ready do more to boost the economy. Bernanke is struggling to find ways to reduce unemployment, which is stuck at 9 percent and avert a second recession in three years after deploying unconventional stimulus tools. The US Dollar fell despite speculation that signs of economic slowdown will compel the European Central Bank to increase monetary stimulus at its meeting tomorrow. Wall Street closed positive as the NASDAQ rose by 2.95% and the Dow Jones rose 1.44% due to a report that European Union officials were examining ways to coordinate the recapitalization of banks and valuations at the cheapest level since 2009. Crude oil jumped for the first day in four by 2.00 and closed at $77.70 a barrel. Gold (XAU) fell by 1.86%, closing at $1,630 an ounce. Today, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change is expected to grow by 76K vs. 91K previously, the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI is expected to show 53.0 vs. 53.3 previously and Crude Oil Inventories are expected to grow by 1.0M vs. 1.9M previously.

Euro (EUR)–The Euro bounced off an 8 month low, finishing higher at 1.3290, amid speculation that Europe will recapitalize its banks to tame a debt crisis which threatens to curb economic growth. The Euro held its ground, despite Moody’s announcement about downgrading Italy’s government bond rating by three notches, from AA2 to A2, which meant that Italy’s credit rating was cut for the first time in almost two decades. There is concern that the government will struggle to reduce the region’s second-largest debt amid chronically weak growth.  Trading below the resistance level of 1.3480 will keep the momentum of the pair negative, but if the pair breaks above this resistance level, it may reach the 1.4060 level again. Overall, the EUR/USD traded with a low of 1.3144 and with a high of 1.3368. Today, Retail Sales are expected to decline by -0.20% vs. 0.30% previously.

Resistance 1.3300 1.3350 1.3400

British Pound (GBP) – The British Pound strengthened against the Greenback as the Euro-region debt crisis stoked demand for comparatively safer assets and investors wait to hear whether the Bank of England will announce further monetary stimulus to revive the economy tomorrow. The trend for the pair remains bearish if it maintains its resistance level of 1.5730, but if the pair breaks that resistance it may reach the 1.5950 level again. Overall, the GBP/USD traded with a low of 1.5420 and with a high of 1.5582. Today, the Current Account is expected to decline by -10.4B vs. -9.4B previously, the Services PMI is expected to show 50.6 vs. 51.1 previously and the final GDP is expected to grow by 0.2% as previously.

USD/JPY – Last: 76.70

Resistance 76.80 77.00 77.20
Support 76.30 76.00

 

Canadian Dollar (CAD) – The Canadian Dollar fell on concern that the global economy is weakening after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the U.S. central bank stands ready to take additional steps to boost growth. The trend for the pair will continue to remain bullish if the pair maintains its support level of 1.0350. Today, no economic data is expected.

USD/CAD – Last: 1.0550

Resistance 1.0600 1.0680 1.0760
