Aussie retreated before dollar

Australia

EURUSD

The pair continues to grow but its pace looks more like creeping. Yesterday the pair managed to accelerate and reached 1.1340 but it returned to its main trend by the end of the day, having dropped below 1.13. Now again the trades are going on above that line, while investors are not in a rush to extremely stress statistics from Europe before FOMC comments on monetary policy. But here they should pay attention to more than expected indicators from Germany. Import prices increased at once by 0.7% being the first exceed during 11 months. This did not save annual decline that more…

Yesterday, during Draghi’s speech, common currency experienced higher volatility than usual. Big volatility on a market is a common thing, unusual here was the fact that eventually common currency stooped moving at the same level where it started, and today it is trying to start declining. Active buying of the common currency was caused by the perception of the markets that ECB does not want to hurry up with the further measures and as a whole mentions positive tendency (despite of announcement of negative inflation in the following months).

EURUSD

Traders could not resist the tension. After quite stable growth inside a tight channel the pair broke its support at 1.1350 and went down for more than a half figure. Today traders have enough time before the coming Draghi’s speech, therefore they are not in hurry to buy cheaper euro but instead boosting selling. Except risks of monetary policy, pressure to common currency caused either by higher demand for risky assets that makes the protective function of the common currency less attractive.
