Traders look beyond FED´s decision

The dollar remains the currency market’s standout performer for the second straight day, gaining value against each of its major rivals after Wednesday morning’s as-expected new homes sales report. Despite consistent strength in the greenback each day this week, the world’s reserve currency is still down from its pre-Fed levels of last week, so it’s difficult to draw any conclusions about the sustainability of the current move, especially due to the lower liquidity pre-holiday conditions.…

An important day ahead

After a calm trading session, we´re about to see a lot of important data tomorrow. It will all start at 11:30 with British monthly retail sales and it offers a first opportunity of the week to make a strong, fundamental trade.

This couldn´t even be stopped by Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment announcement, which was significantly worse than expected. At this stage, currency market seems to have absorbed all the important fundaments and it another major price movement in all major currencies is unlikely until Tuesday.

Greenback stays at 5 month lows despite strong US data

The dollar continued depreciating on Thursday, falling almost % all the other major currecncies. Interestingly, this happened despite positive US Uneployment data, where Unemployment Claimes fell by 2K, making it clear that FED´s policy decision is still having a huge impact on curecny market.
Philly Fed Manufacturing Index also ended up beating the consensus, at 12.4 points. As both those data releases are rather important, a correction in the price of USD is likely in the next couple of days,…
