USDJPY January 21, 2020 Weekly Analysis

Bank of Japan is expected to maintain stability of the monetary policy. In case Japanese Yen appreciates aggressively, the probability that the BOJ will intervene increases. The Japanese yen is expected to remain in the range from 105.00-115.00 within the next 12-months. A major positive factor for the USD/JPY is an FX carry trade. The negative factor is the escalation of the US-China trade war.

XAUUSD January 8, 2020 Weekly Analysis

XAU/USD expects appreciation for this quarter due to the geopolitical uncertainty combined with higher oil and soft commodity prices, creating the right uptrend for gold. In addition, US and Iranian political and military escalation, following the US air strike which killed the Iranian general, gave the market the excuse to look for the safe-haven assets.

British Economy Outlook November 27, 2019

The pound rose to 1,2990 last month after polls continued to show Torie's favourite to win the December 12 National Elections and resolve the 3.5 years of political uncertainty. Prime Minister Johnson through the manifesto promised to invest more social funds for the British people. In addition, it was said that the new taxes are off the table, as opposed to the opposition leader who promised more taxes on funds, businesses and the rich. Tories’ majority give more value to the pound, but the more positive ones give the BOE more room to pursue the monetary policy without obstacles.

AUDJPY November 26, 2019 Weekly Analysis

AUD/JPY expects appreciation for this quarter due to the US-China trade solution. If the US and China will find a solution, then the Chinese monetary policy will be easing and it will help Australia to increase the commodities exports to China. On the other hand, the risk is if US-China trade talks break down before the year-end which means negative effect for AUD. In addition, Australia Dollar is very sensitive to China's incoming news.

European Economy Outlook November 21, 2019

The euro area economy is no longer affected by external conditions, as the trade war is not escalating, and China's stabilization is expected to accelerate by 2020. Markets predict inflation to change from 1.1% to 1.4% in 2020 and the ECB's monetary policy to continue in 2020 and QE at least until the end of 2020 respectively.

EURUSD November 19, 2019 Weekly Analysis

The Euro appreciated due to risk factor improvements during the previous month. The ECB has signalled its intention to remain accommodative for as long as it is needed which is one more factor to help Euro to appreciate. In contrast, markets expect two more rate cuts next year. The US Dollar remains overvalued compared to the Purchase Power Parity of around 1.2900. Interest rate differentials against the euro declined during the last 6 months.

AUDUSD November 8, 2019 Weekly Analysis

The Australian economy is trying to move away from commodity intensive and has begun to develop local products and services, but progress is not convincing. The problem that I thought of was the very high housing prices as well as the high levels of household debt. All of the above factors prevent the Aussie to appreciate aggressively.

USDCAD November 5, 2019 Weekly Analysis

The CAD's depreciation of about 1% of its value last week after the Bank of Canada's announcement left room for monetary policy easing in the coming months. The Bank of Canada left interest rates unchanged at its October meeting, and President Poloz said the risks to the Canadian economy were on the table and it was time to justify a more favourable monetary policy as a form of insurance against all risks.

ECB Policy and EUR/USD Outlook October 23, 2019

PMI for September was very low, with the services index down 1.9 points from August. It is expected that President Draghi will support his latest decision through the final meeting before Christine Lagarde takes over as ECB president.
