How Far Can USD/JPY Fall?

Posted by Forex Legend July - 17 - 2010 - Saturday ADD COMMENTS
The U.S. dollar fell to a 7 month low against the Japanese Yen this morning following another barrage of weak economic data. Consumer prices fell, foreign inflows decreased and the UMich consumer confidence survey dropped to the lowest level since August 2009. On FX360.com, I talked incessantly in my daily report about how the data today was going to be weak and yesterday, I said USD/JPY was going to fall to at least 87. However now that it has broken below that point, the burning question on everyone’s minds is How Much Further Can it Fall? My updated target is at least 85.00 - The currency pair’s 14 year low. When USD/JPY reaches that point, expect ...

The market’s focus has shifted from the balance sheet problems in Europe to the disappointments in U.S. data. Recent reports show the housing market has taken a turn for the worse while manufacturing and service activity have slowed.

Euro Extends Gains, Risk Up on ECB Comments and Data

Posted by Forex Legend July - 9 - 2010 - Friday ADD COMMENTS
Risk is being bought this morning following not so dovish comments from ECB President Trichet and stronger than expected economic data. Going into the ECB meeting, traders were worried that the Central Bank President would stress the need for ongoing liquidity measures to support the economy and the risks posed by balance sheet adjustments. However I said in yesterday’s post that no new announcements would be made before the stress test results are released because if the results effectively restore confidence, additional measures by the ECB may not be needed. Trichet spent most of his press conference talking about the importance of the stress tests which is positive because it implies that they believe the stress tests will ...
