Trading Pattern
Forex Trading Weekly Forecast 04.15.2013
US Dollar in Short-term Panic Amid Weak Data, Falling Yields
The US Dollar was the second worst performing major this past week, gaining
only against the significantly weaker Japanese Yen by +0.81%.
Japanese Tumbles then Surges - Pivotal Week Ahead
The Japanese Yen came within a hair’s width of the critical ¥100 mark against
the US Dollar (ticker: USDOLLAR), once again posting the worst 7-day
performance of any major currency two weeks after the Bank of Japan embarked
on hyperactive Quantitative Easing measures.
Gold Plummets Through Key Support as Fed Mulls QE End- $1482 in Focus
Gold plummeted this week with the precious metal falling nearly 5% to trade at
$1502 at the close of trade in New York on Friday. The loss pushed bullion below
key technical barriers with Friday's range marking the largest decline in more
than a year. However, with data out of the world's largest economy coming under
increased scrutiny, could weak US data help support the battered metal? Don't
count on it.
Australian Dollar Looks to Earnings Docket to Set Direction
The Australian Dollar looks to the corporate earnings docket to break the
deadlock between competing fundamental trends and offer a clear directional
bearing.
New Zealand Dollar Poised to Gain as China GDP Likely to Impress
The New Zealand Dollar continued its gains for the fifth
consecutive week, rallying by 1.7 percent against the
Greenback.
