The US dollar keeps losing ground. Yesterday, the US dollar index was at 94.50 levels, which is the lowest reading since late August 2016. The greenback is undermined by political uncertainty and weak data that reflected an unstable economic situation in the US. Investors do not expect the tax reform promised by Donald Trump during his election campaign to be introduced anymore. Soon, the question about increasing the public debt […]

Bitcoin has grabbed the attention of traders once again. Today, the crypto currency is heading to the upside. The Bitcoin quotes retreated from the daily low at $2,190 and added about 1%, rising to the level of $2,277. Market participants became less concerned about the future of the crypto currency, so it gains strength. Reportedly, the new software for the Bitcoin emission gets more support. It means that on the August 1st, the final vote will […]

After a period of growth, oil is trading flat today. Brent Crude dipped down to $48.89 a barrel. Yesterday, Brent touched a 2-week high amid the news about possible production cuts in Libya. This indicated a potential boost in the effectiveness of the OPEC deal, which was extended in May 2017. Still, the OPEC agreement to cut oil production has no effect on oil supply volume in the market, mainly due to the increase in production […]

Repo is short for repossession meaning to take possession again at a later time. The repo rate is the discount rate at which a central bank repurchases government securities from the commercial banks, depending on the level of money supply it decides to maintain in the country's monetary system. To temporarily expand the money supply, the central bank decreases repo rates. A repurchase agreement also known as a repo, currency repo, RP, or sale and repurchase agreement, is […]

The weak US dollar cleared ground for its counterparts, including the British pound. However, the GBP/USD pair dropped from an 8-month high and now is trading under pressure. The British national currency failed to stay at 1.31 against the US dollar. The pound lost about 1%. Several factors prevent stable growth of the pair. One of the most important factors is the current key interest rate of the Bank of England. Officials of the UK central […]

In this video, the Trader Guy looks at commodities Crude Oil and Natural Gas for the July 18th session. WTI Crude Oil — As you can see on the daily chart, the WTI Crude Oil has rolled over as we are pressing the $46 level. I think probably we are going to get to $45 if we can break below $46. This is an oversupplied market. I don't like buying. The area above […]

In this video, the Trader Guy looks at the currency pairs USD/JPY and AUD/USD for the July 18th session. USD/JPY — As you can see, we tried to rally initially during the day, but turned around to form a bit of a shooting star. There is a plenty of support near the 112.00 handle. If we can break down below there, the market should continue to go to 110.00. Ultimately, if we can break above […]

EUR/USD — We did pullback during the day on Monday and then turned around to form a hammer like candle. This shows that we are trying everything we can to break out above the 1.15 level. Once we do, I think this market goes much higher as we will be breaking out […]
