EU Session Bullet Report – FOMC ahead today

20150819-eurusd

Yesterday the GBPUSD surged to over 1.5715 on data showing a huge pickup in inflation which raised Interest rates rise speculation. On the other hand USD was mixed with a rise in housing starts but a drop in building permits. USD bulls are now waiting for the US inflation data and FOMC minutes tonight in order to determine further direction. EURUSD broke a significant support at 1.1060, posting 1.1015 lows. The most traded pair now is in risk of further declines with 1.1010, 1.0960 and 1.0920 as notable supports.

During the Asian session, another round of heavy selling of Chinese stocks (-3.12%) caused the AUD and NZD to drop close to 0.73 and under 0.66 respectively. It will be a lackluster day for the EU session, which lacks any data releases, however volatility should pick up during the US session, since the FOMC minutes of the July meeting and CPI data (inflation) will be released.

Trading quote of the day:

“Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime”
