AUDUSD Forecast May 12, 2017, Technical Analysis
The Australian dollar had an interesting session, initially falling, perhaps in sympathy to the moves in the New Zealand dollar.
Strategies
Commodities – Metals, Crude Oil Rebound
Commodities price are firmer today with base and especially precious metals ending a bad run off losses, while crude oil has extended its gains from the day before when it rallied sharply on the back of the weekly US oil inventories report.
EURUSD Forecast May 10, 2017, Technical Analysis
After initially gapping higher on Monday, the EURUSD pair has fallen apart. This was a “buy the rumor, sell the news” type of situation when it came to the French elections, and this pullback has been absolutely brutal.
Stopping Volume Appears On The Daily Oil Chart
Last week was an interesting one for oil traders (USO, quote) and speculators, as crude oil continued to move lower from Monday to Thursday, before bouncing strongly on Friday and closing in positive territory for the day, with a deep wicked candle on the daily chart and associated with high volume.
Euro, Stocks Down On Profit-Taking Post French Elections
A classic reaction in the markets to the outcome of the French elections. It was widely expected that pro-euro centrist Emmanuel Macron was going to become the new President of France and that he would beat the euro-sceptic Marine Le Pen by a wide margin. And so it proved.
Silver Bears Continue To Growl
There seems to be no end in sight just yet for silver, which continues to remain beaten down and unloved, and dragging its more illustrious cousin gold down with it.
Will The ES emini Join The Leader Of The Pack Soon?
For US equity traders and investors these are worrying times, as the NQ emini continues to blast its way ever higher, and leaving its sister indices becalmed and lacking direction, with the ES emini a classic example.
USDCAD Forecast May 5, 2017, Technical Analysis
The US dollar continues to grind sideways against the Canadian dollar as we have seen over the last couple of days. I believe that the market breaking down in WTI Crude suggests that the market will eventually go higher.
AUDUSD Forecast May 5, 2017, Technical Analysis
The Australian dollar fell a bit during the day on Thursday, as we continue to see weakness in the commodity markets. Gold markets fell apart, and that of course is a very negative when it comes to the Australian dollar.
EURUSD Forecast May 5, 2017, Technical Analysis
The EURUSD pair rally during the day on Thursday, slamming into the 1.0950 level. That is the top of the recent consolidation area though, and with the job number coming out during the day as well, I believe that it makes sense that the market will probably struggle to make any real headway now.
