EUR/USD Almost Snaps Previous Losses on Positive U.S. PPI

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

PPI increased by 0.8%…

EUR/USD Posts Biggest Daily Gain This Year

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Today EUR/USD rose at a fastest pace since December 17. As the fundamental data reports were very positive in the United States, traders thought that it might be a good chance to bet against the dollar in the favor of the more risky and high-yielding currencies. EUR/USD rose from 1.2916 to 1.3141 as of now.…

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

EUR/USD continued to go up today, posting the biggest weekly gain in its history — and it’s only Thursday today! The fundamental indicators from U.S. were mixed today, but the euro is probably still affected by the recent Fed interest rate cut. EUR/USD is currently trading near 1.4444 after reaching…

EUR/USD Slightly Up, Still Below Week Open

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

EUR/USD rose slightly today after some strong volatility that it showed yesterday. Overall it still remains in the red zone this week. The released indicators are still very pessimistic for the U.S. dollar. But they rarely matter in the current global financial conditions. EUR/USD…

Dollar Still Down But Got Better After Poor Macroeconomic Reports

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

The EUR/USD currency pair continued its ride up today before the economical releases in U.S. came out. Surprisingly, positive U.S. stock market opening, bad macroeconomic reports and the EUR/USD correction coincided today. EUR/USD reached 1.4542 today — the highest rate since September 4, but it’s currently…

EUR/USD Rises above the Friday Open Level

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Dollar declined today against the euro, allowing EUR/USD currency pair to rise above the last Friday’s open level. Currently it is trading near 1.4863 — 58 pips above Friday’s open. The decline was most probably caused by the investors’ concerns related to the U.S. financial market.

Initial jobless claims

EUR/USD Down for the First Day This Week

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

EUR/USD posted its first daily decline this week today — it went down from 1.5528 to 1.5489. Even bad employment data didn’t help the euro to get higher against the U.S. dollar.

Initial jobless claims fell from 386k to 381k last week, but nevertheless were higher than…

Dollar Reverses Previous Losses

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

EUR/USD reversed almost fully its previous weekly earnings today. It fell from 1.5642 to 1.5419 — that’s more than 1.4% in a single day. The euro, being fundamentally overbought, was doomed to a correction. But such a fast drop can mean something more than a short-term correction wave. Though the fundamental…

EUR/USD Down for 4th Day

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Euro is dropping down against the U.S. dollar for the fourth day in a row now. Declining stock markets force traders to cash out into dollars, increasing the demand for them. Today’s fall is minimal (less than 20 pips), but still keeps euro from rising and dominating over the dollar
