Today's Forex Focus, 24 Jan 2024

Alright, kiddo, here's the lowdown on the Forex market today:

Bank of Japan's Stance: The Bank of Japan had a meeting recently and decided to keep its policies steady. This includes maintaining its negative interest rate of -0.1%. The Japanese stock markets didn't react much, and the Yen stayed pretty stable too.
US Dollar's Movement: The US Dollar Index (DXY) is holding steady, with markets waiting for the upcoming Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) data. Also, there's some anticipation around the fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data and Friday’s core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) inflation gauge.
Eurozone Stability: Over in the Eurozone, the Euro is hanging around the 1.09 mark against the USD. Some positive vibes are coming from the Netherlands, where consumer confidence is slowly improving.
Asia-Pacific Region: In China, the loan prime rates are unchanged, while the Japanese Yen is steady ahead of the Bank of Japan's policy decision.
UK Market Expectations: The UK is eyeing inflation data, which could influence the Bank of England's next interest rate decision. The pound finished last week a bit stronger against the Euro.
Canadian Dollar: The Canadian dollar is holding its ground, thanks to some gains in the equity market. The Bank of Canada is expected to keep its interest rate steady at 5%.
Crude Oil: West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil saw a slight increase, trading around 74.22 a barrel.

So there you have it, the Forex market is bustling with activities, but it seems like everyone's playing a waiting game for more data and central bank decisions. Keep your eyes peeled, and maybe grab a cup of coffee – it’s going to be an interesting week! 📈💹

My thought on USD/Gold fundamental analysis 09 April 2015

USD - ↔ Gold -↓ Current USA data is pointing to a robust recovery, with a stable employment rate and a stable growth. Yes the data from march was a major disappointment(weather?) but overall data so far is looking good, not great, but good. So what does good data means? USA is still out growing most developing countries and Euro even with just a "Good". Together with Oil price swinging ever lower, and with Iran joining in with the global oil market which will push oil price even lower. the inflation rate will set to be ever lower. Good Usa growth plus low inflation combine with non stop influx of credit, point to a market that investors dare to seek higher return with higher risk investment which is not good for Gold. So going long to mid term(end of 2015?), the Gold price would be projected to go down. I am aiming for at least a USD1100 per ounce range. Please be advise that forex is a high risk investment, there will be a very high chance of lost o...

Today's Forex Focus, 30 Jan 2024

Ah, nephew, let's dive into the Forex market today, shall we? It's like peering into a crystal ball, but with a bit more logic and a lot less mysticism. First up, we've got the EUR/USD pair showing a bit of a bearish tilt. The dollar's holding steady like a rock in a stream, buoyed by investors who've got their eyes glued to the upcoming Federal Reserve policy meeting. There's a bit of a buzz about geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, making investors a bit jittery and giving the dollar a bit of a boost. Then, there's talk about the Federal Reserve potentially pushing back against the idea of a rate cut anytime soon. This is like a plot twist in a thriller movie for the traders, who are now less convinced about a rate drop in March. The dollar, meanwhile, is flexing its muscles a bit, up by 0.19% against a basket of currencies. Across the pond, the Euro's taken a bit of a tumble, and there's chatter about when the European Central Bank might ...

My thought on USD fundamental analysis 07 April 2014

The US Non-Farm Payrolls was posted at 192,000 jobs gains in march. While this is a solid number and pointing to a healthy recover, the market was expecting a higher number at around 200,000. I would advise on holding on to USD as the country is recovering and will still show future growth. Russia is still an unknown variable as their attack on Ukraine seem to have slowed but had shown no sign of withdrawal from Crimea. North Korea with their latest nuclear testing seem to be testing the patient of the South Korea, USA and Japan. China had tighten their monetary policy while at the same time released mini-stimulus ... take extra care when dealing with China market. I would advise on not trading on precious market for this few weeks as the precious market is jumpy. PLEASE NOTE THAT FOREX TRADING WILL RESULT IN LOSING ALL YOUR MONIES.
