Forex News Daily Video Recap: Euro Stumbles on Ireland, ECB Bond Buying


The main theme today was Euro weakness as there was more worrisome news regarding Ireland and it was revealed that the ECB bought a large amount of bonds last week. The EUR/USD slid from its highs near 1.38. The USD was a bit stronger as US stocks slid, despite some positive US fundamentals in the form of a decent pending home sales report and good levels of capital purchases by US companies in August.

Forex Technical Update 9.17.2010 - Japanese Yen after Intervention


Forex Technical Update 9.17.2010

The Japanese yen started the week mainly strengthening. Wednesday's intervention pressured the currency. As we will see, most yen-crosses are still within bearish or at most ranging context. The GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY, AUD/JPY, and CAD/JPY and USD/JPY are all ranging or bearish. The CHF/JPY pair is the only one with a bullish outlook. Therefore, the market might not respect the intervention and may want to test the pre-intervention level. Let's see what the charts say.
