The Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index continued to rise over the past 24 hours on surfacing news that the government was coming closer to making a deal to push off the pending debt ceiling.
In yesterday’s NY session, the US Dollar rallied temporarily as the FOMC minutes from the September meeting announced that the decision to not start taper was a close call.
However, as the market gave the minutes closer analysis, it decided that they didn’t add anything new to the taper conversation and the greenback retraced all of the earlier gains in the major pairs making up the index.
Overnight, the US Dollar rallied to a new weekly high. It’s possible that the move higher was a reaction to rumors of a later-confirmed story that the House republicans were getting ready to support a bill to push off the debt ceiling. However, most of those gains were unwound through the rest of the Tokyo and London sessions, despite the confirmation of the rumor as NY traders came online.

EUR/USD tug-of-war ahead of central banks while awaiting DC to take a decision
Special winds of recovery in the Eurozone have fueled the Euro in the last days, but its indecision is latent as investors are waiting for Washington developments on debt ceiling and next week big events. Despite all the noise of these days, the EUR/USD closed a 5-pip negative Doji candle in the week.
The biggest topic this week was the lack of agreement in debt ceiling. It seems lawmakers will wait until the 11th hour in Monday, but the problem is that it matches with the end of the month and quarter. Many investors, traders and portfolio managers are worrying on it as the Dow and the S&P 500 closed its sixth negative session of the last seven.
The uncertainty is the topic in the currency markets too, as investors prefer more hints in the Washington battle and, despite recent good economic data, about the possibility of further easing by the ECB. "In his recent speeches, Draghi has been teasing the markets with hints of further easing," comments the BabyPips.com FX-Men Team. "This is a bit surprising, considering the euro zone has recently shown notable improvements in consumer confidence and overall economic activity."
Answering this topic, BabyPips affirms that "the central bank is probably just trying to maximize their current easing programs by keeping a lid on longer-term rates." In this line, FXstreet.com's analyst Katarzyna Komorowska shares in her ECB and BoE previous that her sources "expect the European Central Bank to maintain monetary policy unchanged at the next meeting.”
In this framework, the EUR/USD's buying interest is losing momentum according to the Forecast Poll as experts expect more gains the next week. However, market players expect Euro to Dollar exchange rate to lose ground in the long term.
In the short term, FXstreet.com Chief Analyst comments that "the bearish case looks worse ahead of a new month start: next week, the ECB economic policy meeting and the US employment data, will surely provide more reasons to buy the pair than to sell it." As for technical levels, "failure to overcome 1.3570 and steady losses below mentioned 1.3460 should put the pair in downside corrective mode, eyeing then 1.3280 area, where the pair will finally fill the weekly opening gap from September 15th," concludes Bednarik.
The GBP/USD advanced on Friday and it closed above the 1.6100 area for first time since the Fed's non-taper day. It was the fourth week of gains in a row as the GBP/USD has won around 700 pips in a month and 1300 pips since July 6 when the pair posted its double bottom.
The USD/JPY lost all its Thursday’s gains on Friday as the pair declined from 99.00 to close at 98.25. The AUD/USD tested the 0.9300 area today after extending declines from September 19th highs at 0.9520.

EUR/GBP showing weakness below 0.8550
The EUR/GBP foreign exchange cross rate is last trading unchanged from previous weekly close Friday at 0.8527, off initial session highs at 0.8539 printed on Euro strength.
EUR/GBP targets an 0.85 break
With a completely blank economic agenda for the next London session ahead, “I like the sell-rally strategy in EUR/GBP now that we are below the previous pivot at .8600,” said FXWW founder Sean Lee. According to IFRMarkets analyst Andrew Spencer, the cross EUR/GBP “targets an 0.85 break.” Spencer points out that trend is “backed by string of positive UK data.”
EUR/GBP key technical levels
Immediate support to the downside for EUR/GBP lies at Wednesday's/Friday's lows 0.8527, followed by last Thursday's weekly lows at 0.8504, and July 03 lows at 0.8482. To the upside, closest resistance shows at recent session and weekly highs at 0.8540, followed by Friday's highs at 0.8554, and August 07/12 lows at 0.85

Everything you need to know about oil prices right now
In an effort to keep it simple:
Crude rallied to $109 for some reason
That reason wasn’t global growth, which the IMF estimates at 2.2% this year
Supplies aren’t especially tight
I’m looking for crude to fall back to $99, which is the convergence of the 61.8% retracement of the June-July rally and the trendline/old high. The risk is a spike higher due to a hurricane.

SEC sues Spaniards over insider trading
SEC sues Spaniards over insider trading
By Kara Scannell in New York and Tobias Buck in Madrid
US securities regulators brought a new round of cases of alleged insider trading ahead of BHP Billiton’s failed bid for PotashCorp filing fraud charges against a former high-ranking executive at Banco Santander and a former Spanish judge.
The Securities and Exchange Commission sued Cedric Cañas Maillard, a Spanish citizen and former executive adviser to Santander’s chief executive, and his friend Julio Marín Ugedo, a former judge in Spain, for allegedly making a total of $1m in illegal profits after trading in advance of the planned 2010 takeover.
The lawsuit, filed in New York, is the latest case where the SEC has charged individuals based outside of the US for illegal stock trading. Earlier this year the SEC sued a Thai trader with buying securities of Smithfield Foods days before the US pork producer announced its takeover by China’s Shuanghui International. That case is ongoing.
The SEC has previously charged two traders with insider trading around the BHP takeover bid. The agency settled with one of them, a former Santander analyst, who agreed to pay $625,000, without admitting or denying wrongdoing. But a US judge threw out its case against the second man, a Spanish citizen, for lack of evidence. The SEC said its investigation is ongoing.
Santander declined to comment. The bank launched an internal investigation in 2010 and by January 2011 suspended Mr Cañas after allegations he had access to confidential information about the takeover bid, the SEC said. He is no longer with the bank. The SEC is seeking disgorgement of profits and penalty from both men, neither of them could be reached for comment.
According to the SEC, Mr Cañas allegedly learnt about the takeover attempt after BHP contacted Santander to line up financing for the acquisition in August 2010. He allegedly bought the equivalent of 30,000 shares of Potash stock by using contracts for difference, highly leveraged securities that trade outside of the US and which closely track securities listed on US exchanges, the SEC said.
If the price of the CFD rises, the buyer of the contract is paid the difference by the seller. By buying the contract, Mr Cañas was betting Potash shares would rise in value.
The SEC alleges Mr Cañas spoke, text messaged and emailed his childhood friend Mr Marin multiple times during the period of the takeover. Mr Marin “admitted that he discussed investing in Potash with Cañas in August 2010 before purchasing Potash stock,” the SEC alleged.
Mr Marin allegedly began buying shares of Potash the day after Santander’s executive committee approved $10.5bn in financing for BHP. He made $87,132 from his trades, the SEC said.

Flash: What does the EUR/USD have to offer? – UBS and Commerzbank
The euro is inching higher on Thursday, recovering ground lost after the USD bull run on Wednesday in response to US data above estimates. Ahead in the day, the German IFO indicator will be the main risk event in the bloc, as the EUR will look to find more solid ground to extend the recent rally.
Gareth Berry and Geoffrey Yu, Strategists at UBS, commented, “With the trending and momentum indicators pointing higher, focus is on further upside. Key resistance is at 1.3417. Support is at 1.3134 ahead of 1.3052”. It is worth noting that the bank holds a bullish outlook on the pair.
In addition, Karen Jones, Head of FICC Technical Analysis at Commerzbank, suggested the pair’s “current strength is expected to terminate ahead of the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at 1.3275… The market should react back to 1.30 and loss of this zone is needed to re-target the 1.2755/40 recent low and April low”.

USD/JPY to Challenge Topside.
FXstreet.com (London) - USD/JPY is holding up above 101.00, offering a key base for the week ahead.
USD/JPY has reached a high in this morning’s trade of 101.38. Since then, the pair have edged away towards the handle before finding support and taking a walk back to the 101.20’s. The market has been more stable after least weeks, turbulence. Ahead of BoJ, Fed minutes and second tier US data releases coming up later on in the week.
USD/JPY to challenge topside
Karen Jones, Chief Analyst at Commerzbank, said USD/JPY is eroding the top of the 101.17 cloud, and also the previous uptrend, which now acts as resistance at 101.53. This suggests to her that there is unfinished business on the topside and suggest that the 103.74 May high will be challenged.
GBP/USD hanging around 1.4900
GBP/USD struggling around 1.4900
GBP/USD managed to hold above the 1.4855 support zone and briefly rose above the 1.4900 mark to hit a daily high of 1.4912. However, the pound lacked momentum to extend the recovery and eased back to the psychological level.
GBP/USD levels
At time of writing, GBP/USD is trading at the 1.4890/1.4900 zone, still up 0.1% on the day. In terms of technical levels, next resistances are seen at 1.4912 (daily high) and 1.5000 (psychological level) while on the downside, supports could be found at 1.4855 (Jul 5 low) and 1.4832 (Mar 12 low).

How To Make Money From FOREX Trading
Today, we have it all!
The FOREX market is a virtual 24-hour market. Here in the US, it runs from Sunday evening to Friday evening. So except for the weekend, you can trade at anytime from anywhere.
FOREX online accounts are easy to find and open. Most provide free electronic price data and charts in real-time. Some offer the option of reducing the pip size so that even very small accounts can trade without big risk exposure.
The key to making money trading FOREX is to first learn all you can about how the FOREX market works. For that you only need to do a search or read the training materials provided by most brokerages.
Next, setup your account and trade using only the demo account. You want to get used to the process of trading, and you want to make sure you familiar with your platform on how to enter and exit manually, as well as setting up entry and exit stops so that you can step away from the platform and know your trade is protected.
Next you need to learn an effective method for determining where to enter and exit. In my opinion, the first method you should learn is how to determine the trend.
FOREX markets tend to trend often. This stands out as different then most other markets. Once you lock into a trend, you can ride it for all its worth.
So how do you determine trends? One method is taught by W. D. Gann and is called the Trend Line Indicator. I recommend that you search on that phrase and learn this method of identifying the trend pattern.
Next, once you have learned about trends and how to use the Trend Line Indicator, you need to learn about support and resistance. In order to make money trading FOREX, the key is to get into a trend at the end of a trend correction.
A trend correction is a move that is counter to the trend. If the trend is bullish, it is making higher swing bottoms. Each of those swing bottoms happen to be the end of a correction against the trend. By entering when those higher swing bottoms are formed, you are entering at the lowest risk price level and giving yourself an opportunity for greater profits.
In a bear trend, the end of corrections happen to be where the lower swing tops form.
What you need to learn is how to determine when a correction is likely ending. One way is to calculate support and resistance. To do that, you simply can use Gann or Fibonacci ratios of the trend move prior to the correction.
For example, if the market is bullish, when a correction starts and prices are moving down against the trend, take the distance of the prior bottom to prior top in points and multiply it by your ratios. For Fibonacci ratios, look for prices to correct about 38.2%, 50% or 61.8% of the prior move up. If you find the correction holding at any of these levels and start to turn up again, you may have found the end of the correction.
For Gann ratios, they are similar. You divide the prior range (in a bull market is from prior low to prior high) by 3, 4 and 8. Dividing by 3 gives you levels in thirds, such as 33.3%, 66.6%. Dividing by 4 gives you quarters, such as 25%, 50% and 75%. And by 8 gives you eighths, such as 12.5%, 25%, 37.5%, 50%, 62.5%, 75% and 87.5%.
There is much written about support and resistance. Learn as many methods as possible about this subject if you really want to make money trading FOREX.
To increase your odds of finding the end of corrections to enter trades from, you should include a TIME based method for timing. While prices usually will make bottom or top at some support or resistance level, sometimes it stops at one support level only to break through the next day or two to the next level, and so forth. This can be frustrating at times.
Using a TIME based method along with your price based method can help you narrow down where and when the market is likely to turn again. For this purpose, I use FDates (turn dates) provided through my membership. However, if you are wanting to learn to calculate these yourselves, I highly recommend that you study the works of W. D. Gann and to also learn Fibonacci methods. These methods will help you move toward a more time/price way of timing that I have found to be the best way to make money trading FOREX today!

Forex flash: GBP/USD failing at the gap
GBP/USD failing at the gap
FXstreet.com (London) - GBP/USD indeed climbed to reach the bridge but couldn’t cross it through the offers.GBP/USD was on path to move through the gap on the hourly charts but failed at resistance with bears in the NY session denying it at 1.5435. At the time of writing, the pair are offered and oscillating around the figure.
GBP/USD lower on upside momentum
With the pair starting the week at these levels, and failing to break above the gap, requiring closes there, it appears that there is going to be a good case for the bearish trend to resume further into the week, with momentum indicators and MA’s in the red, including linear regression indicators fortifying the bears apatite. Key support is sited as low as 1.5165 while a move to the upside and closes above 1.5470 remaining above pivot point 1.5430/40 could produce a sideways channel ahead of 1.5520 resistance.

AUD/USD: Wait and see if local sellers turn up again
Slovenia to rescue its banking sector
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - Slovenia is about to inject over €900 million to rescue its debt-laden banking system.According to source familiar with the talks, the urgent measures to save the banks may be planned for late this month so that the country can temporarily avoid to be bailed-out by international lenders, which include the EU, ECB and IMF.
Prime Minister Alenka Bratusek was direct on her official statement, telling the Czech daily Hospodarske noviny that: "We will carry out the capitalisation according to the central bank's estimate by the end of June."
In view of Slovenian PM, "Our goal is to transfer the first package of toxic loans to the bad bank by the end of June."
At this point, the country's largest bank, Nova Ljubljanska Banka (NLB), and the second largest, NKBM, approved earlier on the week to take up 500 and 400 million euros respectively to be recapitalized.
In total, the government is expected to make a disbursement of 1.3 billion euros to restructure its bank's balance sheets.
The bad augurs in the country are mounting, with the latest projections pointing at Slovenia's deficit around 8%/GDP, almost 3x above the agreed targets set by the EU.
Yen roars ahead on astronomic volatility
FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - After having had a roughly 30% upmove in the USD/JPY driven by the radical shift in monetary policies brought forward by 'Abenomics', sellers of the Yen in recent weeks continue to get burn out, with today's fall, the sharpest 1-day fall in over 3 years, exemplifying that the tide is turning. Will it last?With the ongoing upward pressure on the Yen, has come an enormous volatility, which, as described by Adam Button at Forexlive, it might have a lot to do with correlations-based algorithm programs either breaking down, no longer activated as money is starting to get lost or going haywire. As Button says, "All three of those options sap liquidity and drive volatility", adding that "In addition, the wild moves in markets have made traders especially jumpy."
Today's 300+ slide from highs at 99.26 down to 95.60 were prompted by the disappointment that represented the stand-off in monetary policies by the Bank of Japan during yesterday's call. The central bank stood pat failing to change the maturities of fixed rate operations something that was somehow expected to ease volatility in the JGB.

EUR/USD: traded as high as 1.3305
FXstreet.com (Buenos Aires) – The wild dollar selloff has lead to a test of the 1.3305 level in the EUR/USD, levels not seen since late February this year. Despite pulling back some at the time being, the pair holds into its gains, having added nearly 2 cents today. An ECB offering no economic policy change along with a more confident outlook, has helped the pair earlier, but is yen strong advance what triggered dollar selloff across the board and therefore, such gains in the EUR/USD.
At current levels, the pair maintains a strongly positive bias, with immediate support at 1.3241, May 1st daily high, followed by the 1.3190/1.3200 area that contained price advance several times over the last two months. With New York heading for lunch, and London closing down, market will likely child down a bit now, and consolidate ahead of tomorrow’s US NFP figures.

Major Currency Pair Analysis for the Week
Major Currency Pair Analysis for the Week
The US dollar had mixed results last week against the other major currencies in the foreign exchange trading markets. The greenback continued its ascent against the commodity currencies (Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar) while falling against the European currencies (euro, British pound sterling, Swiss franc) and also declining against the Japanese yen for a second straight week.
This week’s fundamental calendar is full of important economic events with a major focus on Friday’s US nonfarm payrolls report while there is also three interest rate decisions (Australia, euro zone, United Kingdom) for the markets to digest. See the currency pair commentary & major economic highlights below.
Major Currency Pair Commentary:
EUR/USD — The euro made gains against the dollar last week but failed in its bid to surpass the major 1.30 level. This week will be all about overcoming this major level and whether this pair can build some upward momentum. Levels to watch this week are the previously mentioned 1.30 major and on the downside, the 1.2900 and also the 1.2850 level for weekly support.
GBP/USD — The pound sterling fought back last week from three straight weekly declines to gain against the US dollar as the pair bounced off the major psychological 1.50 level. Levels to watch this week are at 1.5250 level which has provided previous support and resistance. A close above this level would indicate bullish momentum going forward. On the downside, support comes in around the 1.5100 — 1.5090 area and then the major 1.50 support level which has provided price bounces for the past two weeks.
USD/JPY — The dollar has fallen against the Japanese yen for two straight weeks and looks to test the major support and resistance area of 100.00. This is a major test for this currency pair and will likely determine the short-term direction as well as whether the 100 level will act as future support or future resistance. A close below 100 could bring a correction to the 97.50 target area.
USD/CHF — The Swiss franc has gained against the dollar for two straight weeks as this currency pair has run into selling resistance above the 0.9750 area. This currency pair trades currently near the 0.9550 level which had acted as previous support and resistance. Levels to watch for this week are 0.9550 and 0.9500 while a close below 0.9500 could open up further decline to the 0.9250 area. Upside momentum will likely see resistance at the 0.9650 level and into the 0.9700 — 0.9750 area.
The US dollar had mixed results last week against the other major currencies in the foreign exchange trading markets. The greenback continued its ascent against the commodity currencies (Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar) while falling against the European currencies (euro, British pound sterling, Swiss franc) and also declining against the Japanese yen for a second straight week.
This week’s fundamental calendar is full of important economic events with a major focus on Friday’s US nonfarm payrolls report while there is also three interest rate decisions (Australia, euro zone, United Kingdom) for the markets to digest. See the currency pair commentary & major economic highlights below.
Major Currency Pair Commentary:
EUR/USD — The euro made gains against the dollar last week but failed in its bid to surpass the major 1.30 level. This week will be all about overcoming this major level and whether this pair can build some upward momentum. Levels to watch this week are the previously mentioned 1.30 major and on the downside, the 1.2900 and also the 1.2850 level for weekly support.
GBP/USD — The pound sterling fought back last week from three straight weekly declines to gain against the US dollar as the pair bounced off the major psychological 1.50 level. Levels to watch this week are at 1.5250 level which has provided previous support and resistance. A close above this level would indicate bullish momentum going forward. On the downside, support comes in around the 1.5100 — 1.5090 area and then the major 1.50 support level which has provided price bounces for the past two weeks.
USD/JPY — The dollar has fallen against the Japanese yen for two straight weeks and looks to test the major support and resistance area of 100.00. This is a major test for this currency pair and will likely determine the short-term direction as well as whether the 100 level will act as future support or future resistance. A close below 100 could bring a correction to the 97.50 target area.
USD/CHF — The Swiss franc has gained against the dollar for two straight weeks as this currency pair has run into selling resistance above the 0.9750 area. This currency pair trades currently near the 0.9550 level which had acted as previous support and resistance. Levels to watch for this week are 0.9550 and 0.9500 while a close below 0.9500 could open up further decline to the 0.9250 area. Upside momentum will likely see resistance at the 0.9650 level and into the 0.9700 — 0.9750 area.
