Fx Snapshot

cosma Posted 19 Nov.  in #Forex Analysis
FX was generally quiet in Asian and European session trade today with most of the pairs contained to narrow ranges as low volatility conditions persisted.
In Australia, the release of the RBA minutes caused a flutter in Aussie as the text came in dovish with monetary authorities agreeing that a 'case could be made' for a rate cut at the November meeting. This was prior to the poor employment data which only added to the argument for easing.

ECB In Focus

cosma Posted 20 Oct.  in #Ecb
Financial markets have been on a rollercoaster ride last week as investors wondered whether the equity and bond sell-off would come to an end. However, it seems that investors remained reluctant to reload on risk last week. The first half of the week started in the possible way as equites across the globe recovered slowly.

BOE Interest Rates

cosma Posted 1 Nov.  in #Boe #Forex Analysis
At its November policy meeting, the BoE’s Monetary Policy Committee is widely expected to raise the Bank Rate by 25bps to 0.5%, effectively reversing August 2016’s cut in the aftermath of the UK’s vote to leave the European Union.
