Chart Of The Day: NZD/JPY
After breaking down below a rather well-defined inverted pennant formation on the NZD/JPY daily chart, as shown, price action has just approached a significant long-term uptrend support line. This uptrend line is represented on the chart by the long, green line. With at least four separate touches with reversals since...
Daily Forex Outlook: USD/JPY
The chart shows my working count for the movement started from 105.56. The fall is spectacular but I do not think that it is impulsive in nature. I labeled this movement as a corrective combination and if it is already over, one should expect at least 61.8 % retracement. With...
FX Thoughts for the Day
The Aussie is likely to continue to trade sideways between 0.9330-9530 for some more days, possibly for a few more weeks. In the longer term, it is gearing up for a big move of 300-500 points, which could see it either rise towards 1.00 or fall towards 0.90. This might...
Daily Technical Strategist
EUR recovered higher to close the session at 1.5405 Thursday after pushing below its May 02'08/Mar 24'08 lows/.382 Ret (1.4438-1.6018 rally) at 1.5360/41 on intra basis. A follow-through to the upside in early trading today suggests that the said recovery off the 1.5288 low has some more upside to go....
Euro May Enter Fastest Part of Decline
As stated yesterday, we are bearish as long as price is below 1.5594 (red line). An unexpected move above there would cause us to reassess the situation. As it stands now though, we are treating the decline from 1.6018 as a series of 1st and 2nd waves (or A-B-1 and...

Decline in March Trade Gap Should Help to Boost Q1 GDP
Broad-based declines in imports, which reflect some statistical payback from strength during the previous month, caused the trade gap to narrow in March. By itself, the revised trade data would boost real GDP growth in the first quarter from 0.6 percent to 1.3 percent.
Commodity Prices Boost Canadian Trade Surplus in March
Continuing the trend observed in the first two months of the year, Canada's trade surplus in March increased from $4.9 billion to $5.5 billion - far outpacing expectations of a drop to $4.5 billion. The expansion resulted mostly from a rise in exports, though imports fell slightly as well. While...
Foreign Exchange Market Daily Update
The US dollar initially held its ground after data released sighting that the U.S. international trade deficit for March narrowed more than expected, but soon gave up any gains against its major counterparts as risk aversion took focus. The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in March, by 5.7% to $58.21 billion,...
Canadian Job Creation Continues but Cracks Appearing in Foundation
Job growth in April topped expectations once again with 19,000 jobs created, nearly doubling consensus expectations of 10,000. Even with the addition, a faster pace of labour force growth pushed the unemployment rate up to 6.1% from 6.0% in March. Looking past the headline we are reminded of the old...
U.S. Market Update
In currencies, Risk aversion returned to the front burner as concerns over the financial sector health resurfaced following AIG's earnings after the bell on Thursday. The carry-related currency pairs exhibit a high degree of volatility during the session as equities were broadly lower and fixed-income futures were bid up. Dealers...
