Expectations for January

Pair Expectation, target value – maximum or minimum for the month
AUDUSD down, target: 0.7700-0.7600
EURUSD down, target: 1.1700-1.1800
USDCAD up, target: 1.1800-1.1900

GDP, The Course For Interest Rates and AUD

This week was replete with macroeconomic data releases that shaped the trends for exchange rates. The Australian dollar was not the role model for the currency, influenced by the slew of these reports. Unlike for other currencies, the trend for AUD seems to be persistent for a long time to come.

The British Pound – The Trend Down is Intact

Among a few tools of monetary policy, available to any central bank, the verbal stance on the current state of economy and financial system is the finest.

The forthcoming BoE interest rate decision – failure of rhetoric

Every month financial markets anxiously await the most important price – the price of borrowing funds – to be set by central bankers. The day of announcement and previous days of the week might have little to no volatility, for the market players are uncertain of the future decision.
This is apparently not the case for BoE rate decision that is due this Thursday – FTSE 100 closed down 0.69% and was down about 1% intraday, that is unusually high volatility nowadays, albeit trading sessions on Mo…

Employment Cost Index, Interest Rate Expectations and Stock Market Swoon

This last week was repleted with important and having lasting influence data releases. Although the most anticipated and looked for by investors was Non-Farm Payroll Change, published on Friday, its impact on stock market was more than limited. What passed almost inconspicuously to most market participants and observers of different stripes but had significant influence on financial markets was release of Employment Cost Index last Thursday.
The importance of this data is difficult to overestim…
