  3. Neutral outlook on PLN – BAML FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The outlook for the Polish zloty remains on the neutral side so far, suggested strategists at BAML. Key Quotes “We are on track to our 3.5% growth forecast for 2015. Industrial production growth recovered to 5.3% yoy in May from a soft April reading of 2.7% in seasonally and working-day adjusted terms, maintaining the growth momentum at the beginning of the year”. “The robust 1Q growth rate, with recent PLN weakness and an increase in political uncertainty, implies the National Bank of Poland will stay neutral. The Monetary Policy Council has been sending strong signals to the market about its intention to end the easing cycle. The recent PLN weakness eased the MPC’s concerns about higher risks of inflation undershooting. Our baseline has the policy rate steady at 1.50% through 2016, and we note that the risk of easing has fallen significantly”. “Bund volatility and Greece talks are a risk to sentiment in the region, including that for PLN. We stay neutral outright but hold a short PLN/HUF position, as the cross seems overvalued from a longer-term perspective”.

  9. GBP/USD near term risk lies to the downside – Scotiabank FXStreet (Barcelona) - Eric Theoret, CFA, CMT, Currency Strategist at Scotiabank, sees near-term risks for GBP/USD tilted to the downside, with technicals signalling towards a short-term bearish outlook for the pair. Key Quotes “GBP is soft, down a modest 0.3% from Friday’s close on the back of broader market sentiment driven by Greece. Near term risk lies to the downside, however we look to the potential for some offsetting gains in response to Tuesday’s final GDP revision for Q1. PMI’s will round out the remainder of the week, beginning with the manufacturing PMI on Wednesday.” “GBPUSD short-term technicals: bearish—Monday’s candle hints to limited upside potential as we note a sizeable upper shadow. A rising wedge formation has taken shape since mid-May, its lower bound currently seen around 1.5500. Rising wedges are typically resolved to the downside.” June 29,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!
  10. How long will Greek capital controls last? – Rabobank FXStreet (Barcelona) - The Rabobank Team summarizes the key developments and risks ahead for Greece after capital controls were enforced. Key Quotes “In the wake of the failure of Greece and its creditors to sign a compromise deal over the weekend, the ECB has agreed only to continue providing emergency lending assistance to Greek banks at Friday’s level of EUR89 bln. The ECB made clear that it stands ready to reconsider its decision but meanwhile the heightened risk that Greece’s banks will run out of liquidity has forced the implication of capital controls.” “Greek banks will reportedly remain shut until July 7 and there will be a EUR60 daily cap on withdrawals from cash machines, though this will not apply to those using foreign debit or credit cards. It is not clear how long capital controls will remain in place, but bear in mind that in Cyprus controls were not fully lifted for around two years after the 2013 crisis.” “Amidst the talk that Greek companies will not be able to pay invoices, fears of shortages are rising in the country and queues at petrol stations have been building. It is unknown how long Greece could survive the liquidity shortage before pressure mounts on the Bank of Greece to start issuing an alternative currency.” June 29,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!

GBP/USD pressured amid Greek uncertainty The GBP/USD pair trades -0.31% lower at 1.5702, recovering from fresh session lows reached at 1.5685 last hours.

The dollar index which measures the greenback’s strength against its major peers, now trades 0.37% higher at 95.95, retracing from 96.60 highs. The USD bulls took charge earlier this session and pushed GBP/USD lower as the greenback strengthened on tumbling EUR/USD on Greek concerns. Later in the day, the cable will track US dollar moves amid lack of UK fundamentals while US pending home sales and fresh Greek updates will be closely watched. GBP/USD Levels to consider The pair has an immediate resistance at 1.5739 (Today’s High) above which gains could be extended to 1.5800 levels.

  17. USD/JPY climbs to highs near 123.80 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - A bout of buying interest around the American currency is now sending USD/JPY to post session tops in the 123.80 area. USD/JPY firmer on Treasuries The pair has woken up from its early consolidative pattern boosted by a firmer tone in US Treasuries, where the 10-year benchmark is up more than 2% around 2.45%. Other bond markets are following suit with higher yields in Bunds and Gilts. At least a bit of entertainment and volatility in today’s flat markets, with all the attention pointing to tomorrow’s Eurogroup meeting, leaving activity close to zero on Friday. USD/JPY levels to watch As of writing the pair is up 0.12% at 123.77 with the next resistance at 123.96 (high Jun.25) ahead of 124.38 (high Jun.24) and then 124.46 (high Jun.18). On the downside, a break below 123.23 (low Jun.26) would expose 123.20 (61.8% of 122.48-124.38) and finally 123.00 (psychological level).

  18. NOK/SEK could face additional selling pressure – TDS FXStreet (Edinburgh) - According to Strategists at TD Securities, the Nordic cross could head towards parity in the medium term. Key Quotes “It has become more difficult to position for the easing risks from the Riksbank. Several members seem to now have a more mixed opinion of taking rates more negative. So if SEK appreciates, it is possible the short-end rallies further, but it is also possible they decide to rely more heavily on QE, which would have a broader influence on the curve, or even introduce an FLS-style program, where the impact on rates is more uncertain. “The Norges Bank's decision to cut its key policy rate to 1.00% was broadly expected. But leaving the door open to additional easing in the next few months was not. With the Riksbank on hold, NOKSEK will come under additional pressure and drop toward par in the months ahead”.

  20. EUR/GBP negative below 0.7324 – Commerzbank FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The short term perspective for the cross remains bearish below the 6-month downtrend currently at 0.7324. Key Quotes “EUR/GBP is sitting on the .7074 support line and is currently finding some support there. Intraday rallies are indicated to terminate circa .7150 for losses to the .7057 May low and the .7015 March low”. “Below here lies the .7000 psychological support and the .6985 6 year down channel”. “Rallies will find initial resistance at .7214, the 55 day ma. This guards the .7324 resistance line and the tougher resistance at .7385/91 – this is the March high and the 78.6% retracement”.

  21. USD/CHF: CHF strengthens on safe-haven appeal FXStreet (Mumbai) - The Swiss franc remains heavily bid versus the American dollar in the mid-European session, driving USD/CHF deeper in to losses just above 0.93 handle. The Swiss currency emerged the biggest gainer this session so far mainly on the back of increased demand for safety assets as Greek debt deal lurks. USD/CHF drops from 0.9375 Currently, the USD/CHF pair trades -0.35% lower at 0.9332, recovering slightly from fresh session lows printed at 0.9319. The Swiss franc gained upside momentum versus the greenback largely on the back of generalized risk-on moods amid uncertainty surrounding Greece with markets speculating increased Grexit fears. While traders flock to safe-havens such as CHF ahead of Euro group meeting tomorrow. Moreover, EUR/USD resilience also supports the franc, knocking-off USD/CHF almost 50-pips lower. Meanwhile, the dollar index which measures the greenback’s strength against its major peers, now trades muted around 95.35, near session lows at 95.28. Karen Jones, Analyst at Commerzbank notes, “USD/CHF has started to erode the 2 month downtrend. A close above here should be enough to trigger a recovery to the 0.9543 end of May high and the top of the cloud resistance at 0.9600.” While she recommends buying on dips to 0.9320 and further add at 0.9320. USD/CHF Technical Levels To the upside, the next resistance is located at 0.9375 (Today’s High) levels and above which it could extend gains to 0.9408 (June 11 High) levels. To the downside, immediate support might be located at 0.9300 levels and below that at 0.9272 (June 15 Low) levels.

  23. GBP/USD eases to 1.5750, Greece in focus FXStreet (Mumbai) - GBP/USD trimmed gains and retreated from near 1.58 handle during the European session, as markets shifted their preference towards the US dollar amid Greece headline ahead of Euro group meeting. While traders also gear up for the upcoming US GDP revision. GBP/USD drops from 1.5790 The GBP/USD pair trades 0.14% at 1.5752, quickly shedding away nearly 40 pips. The cable gave back half the gains as the offered tone around the greenback decreased as traders switched to the reserve currency, moving away from higher yielding currencies as Greece updates take centre stage. While, markets also unwound GBP longs ahead of the third estimate of the first quarter US GDP data due for release later in the North American session. However, the pair also remains supported on the back of hawkish comments from Bank of England (BOE) policy maker Weale, advocating for a rate hike on tightening labour market in the UK. GBP/USD Levels to consider The pair has an immediate resistance at 1.5833 (June 23 High) above which gains could be extended to 1.5850 levels. On the flip side, support is seen at 1.5731 (Today’s Low) below which it could extend losses to 1.5704 (June 23 Low) levels.

  24. German IFO hurt by Greece – ING FXStreet (Edinburgh) - Analyst at ING Bank Carsten Brzeski assessed the recent poor results from the German IFO. Key Quotes “Creeping Greek fears. The number one topic in Germany has finally reached German businesses: the Greek crisis and fears of a Grexit. After a long period of stable business optimism, Germany’s most prominent leading indicator, the Ifo index, dropped to 107.4 in June, from 108.5 in May”. “Even if the doses has been reduced somewhat, the German economy is still on steroids. Despite some recent rebounds, the weak euro exchange rate and low energy prices are still artificially extending the last phase of a very positive reform-growth cycle”. “Even after today’s drop, the level of the Ifo remains comfortably high. In fact, comparing the levels of the second quarter with the levels of the first quarter suggests a growth acceleration of the German economy in Q2, confirming our positive growth outlook”. “All in all, today’s Ifo index shows that German businesses are not immune against the Greek crisis and that Grexit fears are not only discussed in the local pub but also in boardrooms. However, for the time being, these fears should not (yet) have a negative impact on the economy”. June 24,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!
  25. EUR/USD keeps the 1.12 handle pre-Eurogroup FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The common currency keeps the buoyant tone on Wednesday, sending EUR/USD to test highs near 1.1240 ahead of the Eurogroup meeting. Greece remains at the top of the agenda in today’s Eurogroup meeting to be held in Brussels, with Greek PM A.Tsipras expected to previously meet with Juncker, Draghi and Lagarde. Further news saw the ECB extending its emergency funding to the Greek banks under its ELA mechanism, all in light of the persistent deterioration of the Greek banking system in response to the increasing deposits withdrawals by Greek savers. In the data space, the German IFO came in below consensus in all of its components, although spot paid little attention, if any, to the release. EUR/USD levels to consider As of writing the pair is up 0.38% at 1.1210 and a breakout of 1.1236 (high Jun.23) would open the door to 1.1349 (high Jun.23) and finally 1.1404 (high Jun.22). On the other hand, the next support lines up at 1.1154 (low Jun.24) followed by 1.1135 (low Jun.23) and then 1.1087 (low Jun.8).
