GBP/USD extends gains after IMF says better Eurozone, but worse US forecast FXStreet (Tokyo) - The GBP/USD is extending post-retail sales gains and after breaking above the 200-hour MA of 1.4760, the pair is now heading towards 1.4800. The US dollar is trading under pressure following a weaker than expected US retail sales in March as investors assumed that poor economic data will delay Fed's first rate hike until the Q4. In addition, the FMI revised lower US GDP 2015 expectations to 3.1% vs 3.3% in January; and 3.1% in 2016 vs the 3.3% expected in January. On the other hand, Eurozone GDP expectations are up to 1.6% vs 1.3% in January. Currently, GBP/USD is trading at 1.4781, up 0.73% on the day, having posted a daily high at 1.4790 and low at 1.4603. The FXStreet OB/OS Index is reflecting neutral hourly conditions, while the FXStreet Trend Index is slightly bullish. GBP/USD levels If the pair consolidates levels above 1.4760, it will find next resistances at 1.4800 and then 1.4820. To the downside, supports are now at 1.4700, 1.4680 and 1.4600.

EUR/USD approaches to 1.0700 as dollar slumps FXStreet (Córdoba) - EUR/USD rose more than 100 pips over the last minutes and reached a 4-day high as on the top of disappointing US data, the IMF downgraded US growth outlook, weighing on the greenback. While US retail sales grew less than expected (0.9% versus 1.1% exp) and NFIB business optimism index unexpectedly dropped in March (95.2 vs 98.4 exp), the IMF cut their US growth forecast for 2015 and 2016 to 3.1% versus 3.3% estimated in January. The dollar fell sharply across the board, with EUR/USD climbing as high as 1.0691 in recent dealings. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.0685, recording a 1.12% gain since opening. EUR/USD levels to watch Immediate resistances for EUR/USD are now seen at 1.0700 (psychological level), 1.0713 (Mar 31 low) and 1.0763 (10-day SMA). On the flip side, supports could be found at 1.0523 (Apr 13 low), 1.0500 (psychological level) and 1.0462 (12-year low Mar 13).

USD/JPY remains comfortable within its long-held range – Scotiabank FXStreet (Barcelona) - Camilla Sutton CFA, CMT, Chief FX Strategist at Scotiabank, views that USD/JPY might continue to trade in its long-held range only to break higher and close the year at 125. Key Quotes “JPY continues to trade within its range, relatively quiet against the USD; however EURJPY has dropped to fresh lows weighed down by the weak EUR. There was no data today with the focus on the broader FX market moves.” “Comments yesterday by PM Abe’s adviser, Koichi Hamada, that at current levels the yen is ‘considerably weak’ and that it is likely coming closer to its limit bit by bit, helped to stabilize the currency.” “In the near‐term we expect USDJPY to continue to range trade before eventually pushing higher and closing the year at 125.” “USDJPY short‐term technicals: mixed—USDJPY is trading with a range, making technicals less relevant than they are in a trending environment.” “Support comes in at the recent low of 118.72, while resistance comes in at the recent high of 120.84.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 14,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

Gold recovers from session lows FXStreet (Mumbai) - Gold prices recovered from the session low of USD 1183.7/Oz after the weaker-than-expected US advance retail sales number hit the wires. Gold recovers as the USD weakens The US dollar fell across the board, pushing the USD index lower to 99.18 levels. Consequently, the metal recovered from the session lows to a high of USD 1192.4 before settling at USD 1187.7/Oz levels. The metal came under pressure earlier today after being rejected at USD 1200.00 levels. Further moves in the yellow metal depend on the USD index and the sentiment in the US equity markets. Risk aversion in the equities due to weak retail sales could support yellow metal. Gold Technical Levels The immediate resistance is seen at 1193.2, above which gains could be extended to 1198.9. On the flip side, a break below the daily low at 1183.7 could push the prices lower to 1178.5.

Spec positioning on oil climbs 43% in past two weeks – FXStreet (Barcelona) - Independent Analyst, Malcolm Graham-Wood, comments that although the CFTC positioning data shows that the long positions on oil has increased 43% in the past two weeks, some caution is warranted as the market is still not away from the bear trend. Key Quotes “If you add Easter into the equation the oil price went up last week by a modest 5%, but on the weeks trade only the late rally on Friday pushed crude into positive territory.” “The reasons are a bit samey, the Iran settlement news is losing traction with every day that passes, now not only is an immediate withdrawal of sanctions expected but apparently IAEA inspections not welcome without which there is no deal. Accordingly, markets are now not penciling in any Iranian crude arriving any time soon.” “The second piece of positive news on Friday was a decent rise in the number of rigs lost last week after two rather pathetic figures. The overall rig count was down 40 at 988 and oil lost 42 to 760 which did just enough to give the bulls a few hours in the sun.” “What they havent worked out yet is that despite the number of rigs halving since October the US production is still 9.4m b/d.” “Having said all that the CFTC data is showing that ‘specialist market operators’ are calling the price up, last week saw the biggest rise in long positions since 2011. A rise of 52/- lots to 225/- lots is big and the two week rise is 43%, somebody is certainly taking a view.” “I would change the word from specialist to speculatory and without wanting to be a Jeremiah, say that we are still far from out of the woods.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 13,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

GBP/USD hits fresh multi-year lows – Scotiabank FXStreet (Barcelona) - GB/USD hits fresh multi‐year lows as market reacts to broad USD move, and on concerns about softer growth and the looming election uncertainty, notes Camilla Sutton CFA, CMT, Chief FX Strategist at Scotiabank. Key Quotes “GBP is soft, having falling to fresh multi‐year lows. There was no data released today, but market participants are concerned that recent UK data has softened and uncertainty over the upcoming election combined with a broad strengthening in the USD.” “This week’s highlight for the UK will be tomorrow’s inflation print, expected to be stable at 0% on headline and 1.2% on core.” “GBPUSD short‐term technicals: bearish—signals have all shifted to a bearish GBP outlook, with the RSI at 34 providing plenty of room before GBP falls into over sold territory.” “However unless the MACD line shifts rapidly, the charts are at risk of warning of divergence which would imply the GBP softness is temporary.” “Support lies at the psychologically important 1.4600, with resistance at 1.4635 followed by 1.4713.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 13,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

Polish central bank to leave rates unchanged – BBH FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The research team at BBH suggested that the NBP could keep its monetary stance ‘on hold’ in its next meeting. Key Quotes “National Bank of Poland meets Wednesday and is expected to keep rates steady at 1.5%”. “Poland also reports March CPI that day, expected at -1.3% y/y vs. -1.6% in February”. “EUR/PLN is trading at levels not seen since 2011. Given deflationary risks, we don't think policymakers there are particularly happy about the firmer zloty”. “Further currency gains and ongoing deflation will raise the risk of further rate cuts”. “However, April may be too soon after the NBP delivered a 50 bp cut just last month. Another cut in Q2 seems pretty likely if current trends continue”.

Gold wavers above USD 1200/Oz FXStreet (Mumbai) - Gold prices jumped to USD 1206.6 before settling around USD 1203.4/Oz levels, as the USD index pared gains and dropped below 100.00 levels. Tests Hourly 200-MA Prices rose above hourly 200-MA but failed to sustain above the same located at USD 1204.68/Oz. The sudden jump in the prices was largely triggered by the drop in the USD index from a high of 100.27 to 99.71. Meanwhile, mixed action in the major US index futures failed to influence the metal. The metal may fall back below the USD 1200 mark, in case the US equities make a positive start to the week. A rebound in the USD index too could send the metal lower. Gold Technical Levels The immediate resistance is seen at 1209.20, above which prices could rise to 1215.22 (200-DMA). On the flip side, a failure to sustain above 1200.00 could lead to a sell-off towards the 50-DMA located at 1193.54.

EUR/USD might make a quick move down to 1.04 - TDS FXStreet (Barcelona) - FX Strategists at TD Securities, view that the Euro bear trend has resumed, and EUR/USD might make a quick move towards 1.04 before seeing a minor rebound. Key Quotes “The data calendar picks up again in the US this week, with retail sales, PPI, IP, housing, CPI data all due as well as an early look at April activity via the first of the regional surveys.” “Investors appear to have decided that the Fed is not that far away from lighting the blue touch paper for “lift off” so positive data should add to the momentum in the dollar that was clearly starting to build up again last week, especially perhaps if the Empire and Philly surveys beat expectations and bolster hopes of a rebound in activity after a sluggish Q1.” “Focus on prospects for Fed tightening will contrast with Wednesday’s ECB meeting where President Draghi will run through how the first month of the central bank’s asset purchase programme has gone and underscore that there is more to do despite the recent firming in EZ activity.” “Price action last week looked negative for EURUSD and points (strongly, in our opinion) to a resumption of the broader bear trend evident in the past few months.” “We look for a fairly quick move down to 1.04 from here now and expect firm resistance minor rebounds.” “Intraday, we expect strong resistance at1.0580/90.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 13,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

EUR/USD regains 1.0550 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - After dropping to fresh lows in the 1.0520 area, EUR/USD has rebounded and is now looking to clinch the 1.0550/60 band. EUR/USD depressed below 1.0600 The pair is navigating the area of multi-week lows on Monday, dragged lower by a continuation of the USD-strength and disappointing releases in the Chinese economy. In addition, Greek jitters started to gather traction, as the country needs to submit a package of reforms by April 20th in order to be assessed by EU officials prior to the Eurogroup meeting on April 24th. EUR/USD key levels The pair is now losing 0.47% at 1.0554 with the next support at 1.0457 (2015 low Mar.16) followed by 1.0400 (psychological level) and then 1.0360 (low Jan.8 2003).

USD/JPY: consolidation with upside bias – AceTrader FXStreet (Barcelona) - The AceTrader Team notes recent price action suggests USD/JPY pullback has been completed, and another attempt towards 122.03 is likely for the pair. Key Quotes “As dollar has rebounded after Friday's cross-inspired retreat to 120.05, suggesting pullback from last Thursday's high of 120.74 has ended there and consolidation with upside bias remains, a break of said resistance anytime would confirm erratic upmove from 118.33 to correct decline from March's near 8-year peak at 122.03 has resumed and extend gain towards pivotal resistance at 122.03 later.” “On the downside, only a breach of 119.64 support would indicate a top is made instead and shift risk to downside for weakness to 119.20/30 and possibly to 119.00.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 13,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

Treasuries: increased bearish risks – RBS FXStreet (Barcelona) - Dmytro Bondar, Technical Analyst at RBS, suggests remaining short on treasuries, targeting 128-11 onto 127-19+ and possibly 126-18+. Key Quotes “The market has had a selloff, in line with our view, after it saw an inside session on 6th April, which, coupled with bearish momentum readings, pointed to increased bearish risks.” “The slow stochastic oscillator also turned negative after displaying divergence with the price action. Therefore, I favour keeping shorts to the first significant support area of 128-07, where an important Fibonacci level and 50-day MA both lie.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 13,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

Yen crosses could hinder USD/JPY’s up-move – MP FXStreet (Barcelona) - Dean Popplewell, Director of Currency Analysis and Research at MarketPulse, argues that bid for JPY crosses might provide some support to the Yen, and hence a test back to 120.00 might be on the cards for USD/JPY. Key Quotes “USD/JPY opened a touch lower (¥120.02), but has since subsequently rallied towards ¥120.75, dragged higher mostly by Asian dollar buyers.” “Market bids still remain solid ahead of ¥120.00, trail down, with light stops mixed in pre-¥120.00.” “Option interest stranglehold has the pair confined to a tight range ¥120-¥121. However, JPY bid on the crosses should add to the markets appeal of selling USD/JPY strength within that range for the time being.” “Analysts are looking to AUD/JPY 200-HMA @ 91.56 fueling tech sellers. While Mid-March EUR/JPY low @ 129.91 looks vulnerable. A break with momentum could provide JPY some support and lead the crosses to push USD/JPY to retest ¥120 again.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 13,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

Bunds remains constructive for 160.04 – RBS FXStreet (Barcelona) - Dmytro Bondar, Technical Analyst at RBS, expects Bund futures to see a correction before heading higher towards 160.04 levels. Key Quotes “The market approaches our key target area of 0.13% and price target of 159.53, as the futures chart indicates there may be a correction from here, as momentum starts to fade. This however does not alter the overall constructive view as long as the market remains above the 20-day MA.” “Given a previously-formed Methods continuation pattern on the futures chart (over the period of 10-18 March), I believe that the price will see a further swing to 160.04 and possibly 160.88 after a correction (to most likely the 158.70 support) is completed.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 13,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

Brent Oil pares gains FXStreet (Mumbai) - Front-month Brent futures have pared more than 50% gains ahead of the US session due to a stronger US dollar. Prices had hit a high of USD 59.501/barrel earlier today as speculators increased bets on higher prices amid a slowdown in US drilling. Strong USD weighs Part of the gains were erased, tracking the rise in the USD index above 100.00 levels. Disappointing Trade figures from China could have also weighed eventually over prices. Prices had gained earlier today as the declining US rig count in the US diverted the market attention to the imminent reduction of production. Reuters data shows open interest in WTI strike options for $60, $70, $80 and $90 per barrel on NYMEX has risen steadily since January, showing that many traders are betting on rising prices. However, analysts said a big rally was also unlikely, although latest CFTC data showed the biggest weekly rise in the long positions since 2011. Brent Crude Technical Levels The futures currently trade at USD 58.50/barrel. The immediate support is located at 57.85 (50-DMA), under which losses could be extended to 57.42 (5-DMA). On the flip side, resistance is seen at 58.67, above which gains could be extended to 59.50.

Politics in the UK should continue to trump economics – BBH FXStreet (Barcelona) - The Brown Brothers Harriman Team believes that the uncertainty of the formation of a majority government in the UK will keep any economic data release out of the picture. Key Quotes “Politics in the UK should continue to trump economics until at least the May 7 election. The fear that many have is that the politicians will be unable to cobble together a majority government. " “The era of now single party governments could have given the Lib Dems a key role, but it has gone and eviscerated itself and will be punished in the polls. Partly Cameron ensured this by not allowing the Lib Dems to give their constituency any meaningful policy victories.” “UKIP seems to believe its own propaganda and has a self-serving interpretation of its strong showing in last year's EU parliamentary elections. It will be lucky to win more than a handful of seats.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 13,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

US economic expansion remains intact – BBH FXStreet (Barcelona) - The Brown Brothers Harriman Team preview the key drivers in this week likely to impact the USD, noting that the economic data due out in the coming days will likely reinforce the belief that another weak Q1 was a bit of a fluke, with weather, the port strikes, and payback from a surge in consumption in Q4 slowing activity. Key Quotes “The US economic expansion remains intact. We expect the Beige Book prepared for the upcoming FOMC meeting to provide anecdotal evidence that economic activity is strengthening.” “Retail sales fell three consecutive months through February, but likely bounced back with a vengeance. We already know that auto sales were strong. An early Easter and a seasonally adjusted gasoline prices can combine for a strong report. The GDP component (excludes autos, gasoline and building materials) has not posted a gain since last November. It is expected to have risen by at least 0.5% in March.” “The Fed's preferred inflation measure, core PCE deflator, is not being reported this week but its close cousin, core CPI, will come out Friday. The small month-over-month rise in both the core and the headline will likely only be enough to keep the year-over-year readings steady at 1.7% and 0% respectively.” “The view of numerous officials, including the leadership at the Federal Reserve, is influenced by ideas that over time the tightness of the labor market will boost the general price level (inflation). That means that as long as the labor market continues to improve, higher measured core inflation is not necessary to reach a consensus on lift-off. However, a decline in core inflation would not be particularly helpful in this context.” “Manufacturing output has also been soft, declining in the three months through February. It should bounce back in March, even if industrial output as a whole is weak.” “Similarly, US housing starts have begun Q1 poorly. The flat January reading was followed by a sharp 17% decline in February. Expect the thaw in March to have helped fuel recoup the loss almost in full. Softness in permits, however, warns that housing is still likely to disappoint.” OctaFX.Com - Please click here to see Financial News/Forex News on OctaFx official page Apr 13,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker! -

EUR/USD back around 1.0600 FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The bullish attempt in EUR/USD seems to have run out of legs near 1.0640, with spot now deflating to the 1.0600 neighbourhood. EUR/USD focus on the ECB, Greece The resurgence of the buying interest around the greenback have been dragging the pair from the critical resistance area at 1.1040/60 on Monday to today’s 3-week lows around 1.0580. The leg lower came despite Greece repaid the IMF €450 million on Thursday, although uncertainties keep building up regarding the whole debt renegotiation and rumours that the country could run out of money towards month-end. EUR/USD levels to watch The pair is now losing 0.54% at 1.0601 with the next support at 1.0580 (low Mar.18) followed by 1.0551 (low Mar.17) and then 1.0457 (12-year low Mar.16).
