EUR/USD: The EUR/USD had increased to 0.25% to 1.211. Markets were quite crowded with uncertainty as the Prime Minister of Greece Antonis Samaras was planning to make a final move which happens also to be the third to get confirmation for his chosen presidential candidate so as to put off the chances of possible early parliamentary elections. These has increased the push for the greenback is gathering support largely. The EUR/USD had touched 1.2167 in the closing Asian trade. This so far is the biggest slip it has suffered since the August of 2012. Later on the currency pair had picked up consolidation at 1.2190.

 

On the EURUSD currency pair, a good populace of the retail forex traders are bent on in serious vehemence on buying into the Euro vulnerability as compared to the USD as it is not really unlikely to expect further losses on the EUR/USD. What this is implying in the market is that most retail traders are kind of close to their biggest net-long on the pair as it had dropped below $1.30 during the beginning of September. It is possible to be on the lookout for more weaknesses if traders are still bent on buying.

 

USD survives POST-FOMC: The Fed really did less to put away the USD bulls with the announcement of the December minutes just yesterday. This has put in contradiction situations that had shown up in market that would have prompted a detailed dovish anticipation. The Fed seems to recognize the fall in inflation as just for a brief interval in face of stronger dollar and weakening prices of oil. The EUR/USD had still traded below $1.1780 despite experiencing a $1.1850 post-FOMC.

 

The currency pair GBP/USD is performing its consolidation on top at 1.5100 as the US dollar is dropping down, down the board. The pair had touched its extreme at 1.5173 and then it came closer to the said level though it failed to break any distance up. After the announcement of the NPF had pushed back and touched brief points under 1.5100 but it jumped up again. As of now, trades are about 1.5155, this is a further movement up by seventy five percent for the day.

 

The pounds had climbed some points against the American Dollar as on the January 9. This had helped in resuscitating or relieving of its one year and six months low. This development could be at attributed to the impressive UK production (manufacturing) data as well as trade balance data- which really added fortune to the sterling. As at now, the US Dollar index (which is known to measure greenback against other major currencies, notably six) dropped down to 92.23 at a 0.35% decline.

 

The JPY has come front to a bit further as stocks had fallen during the Asian trading session. This had ignited liquidations of carry trades for the currency which had recorded a perennial record of low yields. Though the Japanese had performed relatively poorly against the dollar as US Employment had really impressed beyond anticipations (producing over a hundred thousand way bigger than the 81000 we were expecting. Yet in face of this, the American may potentially suffer a fall as the Fed Speak seems to be complicating Payrolls fallout.

 

The euro had traded closely to a 9 yr lows against the American dollar on Tuesday, 13th January. It is most likely that the continued rout in the oil prices this had incited greatly sad anticipations greater influence of this development on the world’s growth as well as inflation. EUR/SUD had dropped down 0.31%, falling to 1.1795; this is quite close to the lows experienced on Thursday at 1.1753; this had marked its least point since 2005. If the slump in oil may have multiplied effects on the Eurozone and then surely on the euro.

 

The American dollar had reduced a bit its losses against the Canadian dollar as of today January 15. This could be the consequence of a likely push for the greenback had been maintained by investors. This is quite unlikely in face of the mixed economic reports the US had released. The pair USD/CAD had gotten to 1.1803. This would now mark the lowest it ahd recorded measuring far back from last week-8th of this month; touching 1.1925 as of the beginning of the US trade. This point is still 0.2% its supposed.

 

The decline in inflation has added to the emphasis of anticipation that the principal Bank of England would maintain its interest rates, keeping them at lows for a larger part of this year. The Sterling had popped up against the euro as the EUR/GBP has lost over 0.28% dropping to 0.7636. The euro had suffered from hits by the Swiss National Bank’s decision to forsake the 1.20 for an euro exchange ate floor it had adopted as far back in the September of 2011 (as it tries to work down deflation so as to clamp down to the increased valuation of the safe-haven franc.

 

The AUD was seen to go higher today, as it had managed to garner support from encouraging data consumer sentiment emerging from Australia as they proved positive. The currency pair AUD/USD had touched 0.8234 when Asian trade was on. This seeming feat will mark it as the highest for the AUD/USD measuring back from Monday (19th of January). Consolidation had come for it at 0.8066- this corresponds with the low it had recorded early on the 14th of this month.

 

The Japanese yen had added more vehemence and strength when compared to the American dollar. This is the start in the activity of strengthening for the yen in over four days now. This strengthening move happened after the Japanese major bank (Bank of Japan) had abstained from its action of putting more to its stimulus plan after it had caused the currency to tumble following its expansion back in October last year. The yen had added value against its principal sixteen contenders following reduced inflation anticipations.
