IMF: Inching closer to include renminbi in SDR basket – MUFG FXStreet (Delhi) – Lee Hardman, Currency Strategist at MUFG, notes that the FT has reported today that the IMF is creeping closer to including the renminbi in their Special Drawing Rights basket as the US and other major shareholders are likely to back the move unless the IMF staff’ makes a surprise recommendation against the renminbi’s inclusion. Key Quotes “The remaining technical hurdles are reportedly concerns over China’s heavy-handed intervention in markets and poor communication of reforms which are causing nervousness at the IMF.” “The caution has reportedly prompted some IMF staff to raise the possibility that the vote by the fund’s board could be delayed from November into early next year to give China more time to deliver reforms and build credibility.” “However, a potential delayed decision would raise questions over whether China is receiving special treatment. Chinese President Xi Jinping reassured US officials last week that there is no basis for the renminbi to have a devaluation in the long run and thanked the US for their conditional support for China’s bid to have it included in the SDR basket.” Sep 29,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!

Treasuries aren’t buying what Yellen is saying on inflation FXStreet (Mumbai) - The action in the treasury markets in the US indicates the bond traders do not believe what is being told to them about the inflation trajectory by the US Fed officials. Last week, Yellen the Fed expects inflation to gradually rise back near 2%. Williams said on Monday he expects the Fed to increase rates this year. New York Fed President William C. Dudley said the central bank will probably act in 2015 and move rates higher gradually thereafter. However, the treasures signal inflation expectations in the US are tumbling, with long- and short-term market forecasts for price gains down to their lowest levels since 2009. Break even rate at lowest in 6 years The difference between yields on five-year notes and similar-maturity Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) , a gauge of expectations for consumer prices, fell below 1 percentage point Monday. Moreover, the TIPS clearly shows the inflation expectations are moving in line with the drop in the commodity and stock prices.

Rate hike coming in 2015, Fed’s Dudley and Williams - Deutsche Bank FXStreet (Delhi) – Research Team at Deutsche Bank, note that the two Fed officials pointed towards 2015 lift-off in their speeches yesterday while Chicago Fed President Evans said that mid-2016 will be appropriate timing for the rate hike cycle to begin. Key Quotes “Although noting that his expectation on timing was ‘not calendar guidance’ and instead ‘depends on the data’, the NY Fed President said that ‘my expectation is that we probably will raise interest rates later this year’, citing confidence that the inflation target will be hit sometime next year.” “This was followed by a much more dovish tone from Chicago Fed President Evans who said that while the Fed is getting closer to liftoff, still noted that he has mid-2016 in his projections. In particular Evans noted that in his view it will be around that time that ‘the headwinds from lower energy prices and the stronger dollar dissipate enough so that we begin to see some sustained upward movement in core inflation’.” “Meanwhile and speaking after markets closed, San Francisco Fed President Williams reiterated his call for liftoff sometime this year, although noted risks to this from dollar appreciation and stuttering growth abroad.” Sep 29,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!

Euro: Set to bounce before the ECB – SocGen FXStreet (Delhi) – Research Team at Societe Generale, suggest that there are several factors suggesting that the next three weeks could offer the opportunity to trade a EUR/USD tactical rebound towards 1.14-1.15. The technical picture is asymmetrical on the bullish side, Eurozone PMIs are resilient, the dovish ECB is certainly discounted, the risk of a US government shutdown won’t help the dollar, and the EM sell off is prompting investors to put cash in safe currencies. Key Quotes “We recommend a 3W topside exotic trade to get leverage between 1.13 and 1.1550.” “Volkswagen’s woes should not be a lasting euro engine: The scandal certainly has weighed on the euro lately, via the threat that the crisis hitting the world’s second-largest carmaker could hit the German economy. After a dramatic 30% fall to 2012 lows, Volkswagen shares seem to have stopped falling and traded volumes are now diminishing. “Dovish ECB probably in the price: The ECB stance is certainly the main bearish euro factor for the coming weeks. Our economists expect the ECB to be dovish (weaker inflation outlook), but with still ample evidence of resilience in the euro area economy, as witnessed by resilient September PMIs, it is still too early for the ECB to act. Fed inaction and China weakness are not necessarily a signal for the ECB to do more.” Sep 29,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!

OctaFX.com-OctaFX ECN trading! What is ECN/STP trading? It is a broker's business model (which, generally, makes the difference between brokers and "market makers"), in which clients' orders are sent directly to one or several liquidity providers to be executed on their end. There may be an unlimited number of liquidity providers (that is, banks, aggregators, other financial institutions). The more liquidity providers a broker has, the better the execution for its clients (more liquidity available, less slippage). What makes a true STP broker is that it doesn't internalize the orders, but sends them to liquidity providers, acting as an intermediary between the client and the real market. Do you have requotes? No, we don't. Any broker who re-quotes your orders is definitely a dealing desk broker. A requote occurs whenever the dealer on the other side of the trade (whether human or automatic) sets an execution delay during which the price changes. Therefore he can't open your order and sends you a message that the price has changed. That is, a requote. You usually get a new price which can be significantly different from the one you requested (especially when the market is volatile). In most cases it's not profitable for the trader but quite profitable for the broker. OctaFX doesn't have any requotes simply because we don't have a dealing desk, human or automatic (a piece of software usually referred to as a virtual dealer, automatic dealer and so on). Click Here for more info about ECN Trading! What is slippage and why does it happen? Slippage is a slight order opening price movement which is a result of lack of liquidity (when it's already taken by other traders' orders). It may also happen during market gaps. It is important to understand that we do not guarantee that your order will be filled exactly at the requested price; our system is setup to fill it with the next best price from another liquidity provider. So during these news times it's possible that there will be no liquidity available at the price you requested. Let's say you want to open a 5 lot Buy order, EUR/USD, price is 1.30000. Now, in this case we can see the following liquidity available: Provider 1: price is 1.30010, 20 lots available Provider 2: price is 1.30005, 5 lots available Provider 3: price is 1.30000, 1 lot available In this case your order will be offset with Provider 2, since he has the best price and enough liquidity to fill your order. And the open price will be 1.30050, which is 0.5. pips away from the price you requested. But, again, your order will not be requoted, since we are more interested in your profitable trading. Why don't you guarantee stop orders? Again, in the real market there is no such thing as a "guaranteed stop"; it is offered by dealing desks only. As stated above, market makers do not offset your orders anywhere, rather they keep them inside. So when your "guaranteed" stop loss is triggered, it means that your whole loss amount is already in the dealer's pocket. This causes so-called "stop-loss hunting" practice. The dealing desk can see where your stop orders are, so it's easy for them to manipulate the price, so that it hits your stop-loss. In real market any stop order is considered as pending until its price is hit. After that the order is offset to a liquidity provider (which, again, may or may not involve slippage depending on the available liquidity). Therefore it's simply impossible to either "guarantee" or "hunt" your stop orders. Stand out for outstanding with OctaFX!

EUR/SEK undergoes corrective process An upward and over extended market, set against the backdrop of a downtrend may swing the EUR/SEK buyer-seller pendulum back towards the bears again. EUR/SEK was in sell mode until a recent move changed the shape of the price structure. The 4hr RSI was on average printing below 50% over the last three weeks and recently broke above the 60% mark. This can be considered overbought territory in the context of a full-fledged bear market. Therefore, the present corrective rally is vulnerable for a turnaround from here. Further, the 50SMA is still below the 200SMA on 4hr charts. However, should the pair extend its recovery from multi-week lows into a new trend, traders may require a contingency plan in place.

US: Busy week ahead with NFP at the Centre stage – Deutsche Bank FXStreet (Delhi) – Research Team at Deutsche Bank, note that as we look ahead there’s a lot to look forward to this week with economic data capped by the September payrolls reading this Friday. Key Quotes “Market consensus is currently running at 202k which is more or less in with the forecast of DB’s Joe Lavorgna at 200k.” “Fedspeak will be closely watched again and it’s set to be a busy one with Dudley, Williams and Evans speaking today, Yellen and Dudley again on Wednesday, Brainard and Williams on Thursday and finally Fischer on Friday post payrolls.” “If that wasn’t enough, then US politics may play a factor with the end of September marking the date of the end of the fiscal year for the US government with a new budget needing to be passed. That’ll bring the terms ‘debt ceiling’ and ‘government shutdown’ back to the forefront with the latter a possibility (although House Speaker Boehner’s resignation on Friday seen by many as perhaps reducing it).” Sep 28,2015 OctaFX.Com News Updates Trade with OctaFX - the Most Reliable Forex broker!

EUR/USD: Fresh session lows amid rally in European stocks FXStreet (Mumbai) - The EUR/USD pair fell to a fresh session low of 1.1116 as the bid tone on the USD improved amid the rally in the European stock markets. Risk-on rally weighs over EUR The common currency turned lower in early Europe and extended losses to trade below its 100-MA located at 1.1144 levels. The pan-European Euro Stoxx 600 index advanced 2.5%,capping the demand for funding currencies like EUR. Moreover, the Fed rate hike bets have become more sensitive to stock market moves off late. Consequently, the uptick in the stock markets resulted in the uptick in the US dollar as well. Ahead in the day, the spot could be influenced by the Fed speak and the US Q2 GDP figure due for release later today. EUR/USD Technical Levels The pair currently trades around 1.1125. The immediate support is located at 1.1105 (Sep 23 low), under which the pair could drop to 1.1052 (Mar 26 high). On the other side, resistance is seen at 1.1144 (100-MA) and 1.1192 (200-MA).

EUR/USD drops to 1.1140 as European stocks rebound sharply FXStreet (Mumbai) - The shared currency ran through fresh sellers versus the American dollar at the European open, dragging EUR/USD to fresh session lows near 1.1150 levels. EUR/USD eyes 1.1100 The EUR/USD pair trades -0.72% lower at fresh two-day lows of 1.1148, finally breaking the range-trade seen around 1.1170 levels in the late-Asian session. The offered tone around the EUR/USD pair grew bigger after the European stocks rebounded sharply higher at open, improving the risk sentiment heading into the crucial US GDP figures later today. Stock on the European bourses bounced-back on Friday, after a weak performance seen yesterday and also shrugging-off mixed performance in Asian markets. The pan-European benchmark, the Euro Stoxx 50 rises 1.84% to 3,074 while the German benchmark, the DAX leads its European rivals higher, up nearly 2% at 9,600 points. EUR/USD remains undermined and meets fresh supply on every attempt to fill in the bearish gap as the buck remains in power across the board, after Fed Chair Yellen indicated a possibility of a rate-hike later this year in the overnight trades. Meanwhile, focus now turns towards the third estimate of the Q2 GDP data from the US due later in the NY session as the EUR calendar remains data-quiet with nothing relevant on the cards. EUR/USD Technical Levels The pair has an immediate resistance at 1.1232 (Today’s High), above which gains could be extended to 1.1296 (Sept 24 High) levels. On the flip side, support is seen at 1.1120 (Sept 7 Low) below which it could extend losses to 1.1103 (Sept 23 Low) levels.

German IFO Business Climate index surprises on the upside in Sept FXStreet (Mumbai) - Business sentiment among German investors surprisingly improved in September, shrugging-off the sell-off in the Chinese and global stock markets. The result, however, did not reflect the latest turmoil caused by a false emission scam at the country's auto giant Volkswagen. The headline Ifo Business Climate Index rose to 108.5 during September, above the 108.4 booked in August. Meanwhile, the Current Assessment sub-survey, indicating current conditions in the euro area's number one economy, booked 114 points, after the previous month's figure of 114.8 and below estimates of 114.7 points.
