EUR/USD

It was a nervous and busy day yesterday. The single currency was yielding to the pressure put by the dollar demand. Here we observe quite a strange correlation and would like to enlarge on it. The large-scale selling of the yen stirred all the crosses with it, which in its turn forced market players to take their profits and switched to the liquid assets like dollars. This is where the decline of the euro by the beginning of the EU session came from. Further the initial decline was gradually offset. But still the pair hadn’t managed to recover fully by the more…

EUR/USD

It’s a big day for the single currency today. Since Draghi took up the post as the ECB’s head the euro has become much more volatile during press-conferences after the bank’s meetings. It’s mainly due to the fact that Draghi actively employs non-traditional means to help the suffering economy of the eurozone instead of sticking to the formal approach of his predecessor Trichet, who generally strived to maintain inflation. Besides, Mr Draghi’s forecasts prove to be much more precise. For instance, he promises that the EU economy will turn to growth in the second half-year. Judging by the statistics, this acceleration more…

EUR/USD

EUR is again on the defensive. Since the end of the previous year we’ve often observed long-term trends in the currency markets, one- or two-month long. It’s noteworthy that while in the previous years  we saw a division into risky/safe currencies and assets and unison movements in accord to this division, this year attacks have been mainly launched at one particular currency. Since February such an attack has been targeted at the single currency. The pair, gradually falling from 1.37, reached 1.2750 at the end of the previous week. Clumsy attempts to bounce  off on the almost low trade volume on more…

EUR/USD

The single currency keeps drifting down. The periods of consolidation are followed by sales. Now, when most exchanges are closed for the Catholic Easter, the market, most likely, will trade sideways. The week promises to be quite eventful, despite today’s lull. EURUSD is again at the local lows, below 1.28. Now it is trading at 1.2780, while last week’s low was 1.2750. It’s unlikely that slack trading in a few markets will provoke the break of this support. The currency markets in such days may be very volatile should some extraordinary events occur. But in the absence of such events currencies more…

A slack bounce of EUR

EUR/USD

Opening of banks in Cyprus let the single currency heave a sigh of relief yesterday. No doubt, the euro grew mainly on positive sentiments, nothing more. There are still no reasons to believe that tomorrow things will be better than yesterday. Purchases of the single currency were supported by the inclination to take profits from the previous drop. Yet the bulls didn’t manage to push the currency far from the four-month lows. EURUSD was growing to 1.2840, but now is again hovering at 1.2800. We shouldn’t expect any volatility in the markets  today, as most of them are closed for the more…
