NZD/USD Technical Analysis: December 13, 2016
The NZD strengthened after Bill English was sworn in as New-Zealand's new Prime Minister.
The New Zealand currency heightened after the recent reports regarding the newly appointed Prime Minister of New Zealand, Bill English who's a leader also of the National Party. This event has relieved the anxiety in the political realm of the country. The kiwi was able to recover due to the oil output deal of OPEC which improved the investor’s overall mood. The NZD reversed its losses consequent to its session low around the 0.7115 area. Traders push through the 0.7150 level during the early trades, drove through the 0.72 handle. The level was tested amid the North American hours.
As shown in the 4-hour chart, the price reverse the 50-EMA and surpass the 200-EMA towards a higher position. Both 50 and 200 EMAs secured a neutral seat, at the same time, 100-EMA edged higher. The resistance touched the 0.7200 region, support settled at the 0.7150 level. The MACD indicator traded upside. The RSI is in the overbought readings.
Should the price break the 0.72 and settled above it, a medium term with a negative outlook will neutralize. Moreover, the NZD hope to extend its gains towards 0.7250. When failed to do so, the plans of the bulls are expected to prevail, with this, the price will turn to 0.71.

USD/CAD Technical Analysis: December 14, 2016
The loonie is in upbeat due to the support supplied by oil prices rally, while the greenbacks had a poor performance in trading. Bearish structure that waves downwards recorded from November highs persists yesterday. The price traded down the lower limit of a descending pattern. The U.S dollar met a stable support in the 1.3100 level subsequent to the losses it suffered from five consecutive sessions. The pair is trading in a tight range and attempted to reclaim the level during the EU hours.
Moreover, the sellers break the level before the NY opening. The price develops down from the moving averages as indicated in the 4-hour chart. The 50, 100 and 200-EMAs headed to a lower position. Resistance touched the 1.3120 handle, support is seen in the level of 1.3050.
The MACD histogram traded in the downside. RSI remained oversold.
Should a break below the 1.3120 area will provide strength for sellers by which they are able to expand their gains from 1.3050 up to 1.3070. In case the USD CAD edged higher than 1.3120, an upward movement will initiate promptly.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis: December 14, 2016.
The Consumer Price Index came in with an optimistic result which helped the GBP to gain more strength. Along with this, the Retail Price Index presented a positive outcome while the Producer Price Index lose the hope investors due to negative results. Furthermore, trading with the pound seems bullish this week. The British currency successfully reclaimed the 1.26 handle and expanded its 1-week highs towards 1.27 region. The buyers found the resistance level of the sellers within the aforesaid level, buyers attempted to pass through the region.
As shown in the 4-hour chart, the price rebounded through the 100-EMA, while the 50-EMA are being pushed at the same time. Moving averages continued to be bullish. Resistance is seen at 1.2700, support sits around the 1.2600. MACD indicator rose which indicated strength position for the buyers. The RSI stayed overvalued.
Supposing that the ongoing positive signals will last longer, the sterling still has the chance to move closer towards 1.2740 area. However, if it plummeted below the 1.2650 mark, the possibility of an upward movement to occur will fade. Granted that, there are higher odds for a decline as far as 1.2600.

However, the market is now anticipating the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s meeting this week, which is expected to contain affirmation of the much-awaited Fed interest rate hike. The four-week uptrend of the USD/JPY pair was sustained during Tuesday’s trading session, and the positive bearish sentiment was able to induce the pair to decrease in value The USD’s recent uptick was stopped by resistance which was found at the 116.00 region, and the USD/JPY p air reverted back to its original support levels of 115.00 where it remained for the rest of the trading session last Tuesday.

USD/CAD Fundamental Analysis: December 14, 2016
The USD/CAD pair is still trading within the lower regions of the chart, with the 1.3000 trading range seen as a key range for the currency pair. Once the pair goes below 1.3000 points, then this could offset the previous uptick in the movement of the pair and could be very beneficial for the bearish market players. The pair was able to remain within the tight-range territory due to lack of activity from the Canadian economy as well as from the crude oil market.
In spite of the fact that the Canadian economy is largely dependent on the activity of oil prices, the USD/CAD was able to sustain its value even when faced with fluctuations in crude oil prices paired with a steadily positive economic data from the country. However, the currency pair is expected to remain under pressure for as long as oil prices are able to sustain its recently high value. The Bank of Canada is also expected to cut back on its interest rates this coming 2017, and this could have an effect on the Canadian currency. This also partly explains why the USD/CAD pair is mostly bullish for this term.
For today’s trading session, there are no major news releases expected from Canada. However, the US is set to release its retail sales data, as well as the minutes of the first part of the FOMC meeting, which could induce volatility in the movement of the USD/CAD pair. If the pair reaches 1.3000 points, then a stop loss is advised just below 1.2980 points.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: December 14, 2016
The GBP/USD is still one of the most stable currency pairs as of the moment, with the GBP/USD pair trading way above 1.2700 points. The market is currently waiting for the results of the FOMC meeting, and it is anticipated that the market will be mainly focusing on the Federal Reserve’s activities in the coming weeks after the statement release from the central bank.
There has been no major economic releases from the UK, but the region is expected to enter a period of marked volatility due to the commencement of the actual Brexit process this coming 2017. For the European session, the claimant count change data is expected to be released into the market, and the Bank of England is also expected to make a statement, and these are expected to increase the GBP/USD pair’s volatility levels.
The market is also expecting the release of the FOMC minutes, as well as the details of the press conference which is scheduled immediately after the Fed meeting. However, the central bank’s expected decision to implement a rate hike might not cause much volatility since the majority of traders are now shifting their focus to the details of the subsequent conference, since this could give hints on the future course of the central bank this 2017. The GBP/USD is speculated to become more volatile as compared with other currency pairs, and low volume is expected before the year ends, with prices becoming highly moveable as the end of the year approaches.

NZD/USD Fundamental Analysis: December 14, 2016
The NZD/USD dropped by 14 points but still rebounded by 25 basis points. Greenback gained from the PMI report of New Zealand which drives the pair's momentum. The central bank of New Zealand that there is no need for further inflation to meet the target. The spike of the currency following the bets in Governor Graeme Wheeler that easing cycle has ended.
The changes in policies have to adjust to guarantee that the target range is met since the cash rate much lower from 0.25 percentage point down to 2.5 percentage point. The current policy rate is adequate although the bank agrees to cut rates when needed.
Kiwi is bound to recovery from last year's tightening of monetary policy. This year inflation rates stand lower than the 2 percent of the midrange as forecasted by the central bank for 6 consecutive years. Although there is reluctancy because of the surge in properties located in Auckland bringing risks in financial stability while the economy shows positive growth.
The Kiwi climbed after the reports and was seen to reach 7.2% as the highest compared to other 16 currencies since September .

EUR/GBP Fundamental Analysis: December 14, 2016
The pair EUR/GBP increased by 7 points with positive reports in German inflation data but the general market is concern with U.S. Federal Reserve. The pair is posited at 0.7223 psychological level. Higher bets in U.S. Federal Reserve that this will move in a different direction and would pursue rate hike during their policy meeting next week. The Monetary Policy Committee seeks to change the market outlook for the next U.S. Fed policy meeting.
Monetary policies of U.K. will mainly be determined from the inflation rates even though central banks from different nations stand alone. There might be no tension from Brexit but it is expected to come in the coming months with the International Monetary Fund focusing on Article IV and its possible effect.

AUD/USD Technical Analysis: December 15, 2016
The Australian Consumer Confidence Index was released during the previous trading session and has exhibited negative data since April 2016. While this might spell disaster for other currency pairs, this means relatively good news for the Australian dollar. The positive sentiment of the market was sustained during Wednesday’s trading session, with the AUD extending its recent profits during the Tokyo and London trading sessions. The AUD/USD was able to go beyond the 0.75 trading level and reached 0.7520 points in the middle of the London trading session. As seen in the 4-hour chart of the AUD/USD pair, the pricing of this particular currency pair was able to test the 200 EMA after the close of the London trading session. The Australian dollar continued to inch higher in the 50 and 100 EMAs, and the 200 EMA exhibited a downward direction. Resistance levels for the AUD/USD is expected to come in at 0.7550 points, while support levels are expected to come in at 0.7500 points.
The MACD indicators for the currency pair dropped, indicating a loss of strength in buyer positions. Meanwhile, the pair’s RSI stayed within the overbought territory. If the AUD/USD is able to break through the 0.7500 range, then this could affirm the bullish stance of the currency pair.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis: December 15, 2016
The EUR traded ambiguously in relation to the USD since traders are still expressing uncertainties prior to the start of the Federal Reserve meeting yesterday. The German Manufacturing PMI data is also expected to come out later today. The EUR/USD pair had a bullish tone for the majority of the previous trading session, and traders were able to induce the pricing of the pair to drop to the 1.0650 trading range but was unable to regain its previous losses. However, a new wave of selling pressure caused the currency pair to hit 1.0600 points. The EUR/USD traded within a tight range during the London trading session and tried to exceed its previous levels during the start of the New York session. According to the pair’s 4-hour chart, the EUR/USD pair was able to test the 100 and 50 EMAs, and the currency pair remained below its moving averages during the previous session.
The resistance levels for the EUR/USD pair is set to come in at 1.0650, while support levels are expected to come in at 1.0600 points. The MACD indicators for the pair is currently at the center of the chart, and if the histogram is able to go within the positive side of the chart, then this will mean that buyer strength will be increasing as well. However, if the MACD reverts back to the negative side of the chart, then this will enable sellers to regain their stance on the market. The RSI indicators for the EUR/USD remains in the neutral territory.
For today’s trading session, the EUR/USD is expected to go through 1.0500 points and could possibly go even lower and reach the 1.0450 trading range. If the pair closes the trading session over 1.0650 points, then this could extend the pair’s buying interest at 1.0700 points.

The USD/JPY pair traded in a somewhat limited consolidation below 116.11 trading points during Wednesday’s session.

However, there is also a possibility that the pair could revert back to 114.00 points.

EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: December 15, 2016
There is not much activity in the market specifically for the EUR/GBP pair. This could be because of the British Rate announcement scheduled to be publicize this day. It is possible for the price to break lower than the 0.83 handle. When the price surges, sellers could take the lead with opportunities in selling as it implies exhaustion close to the 0.86 handle.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: December 15, 2016
The FOMC statement is more hawkish than the expected which caused for the EURUSD fell. Moreover, the Fed already imposed an increase on its rates and more rate hikes are expected next year. As the market established a clear indication for the possible two-time price increase
According to previous readings, the highly anticipated December hike by the Fed is deemed to be the least that the central bank can do for the market by which the Federal Reserve are forced to adhere. The dollar’s direction are inclined on the tone of FOMC’s rate hike announcement plus other suggestions made by Chair Yellen during her press con. Furthermore, Janet Yellen admitted that Trump’s success in election caused confusion to the Fed to finalize its decision, however, the resolution is to coordinate with the plans of the U.S President to lower tax rates and heightened expenditures. The hawkish statement of the Fed are implied in order to bolster the dollar. The aforesaid scenarios aided the greenbacks to edged higher but it negatively affect the EURUSD pair and it fell through 1.0650 from the area on top of 1.0650. It also broke a solid support within the 1.0650 and it hovered above the region of 1.0500.
There is no recent news in the Eurozone as of the moment except for the unemployment claims together with the US Manufacturing Index data to be released sooner or later. The pair is expected to endure an extreme pressure as it continued to progress.

USD/JPY Fundamental Analysis: December 20, 2016
The Bank of Japan is expected to maintain its previous monetary policies and give more positive economic expectations, thereby cementing speculations that the central bank could possibly induce an interest rate increase instead of a rate cutback. Because of the lack of policy adjustments, USD/JPY traders will now be shifting their focus on BoJ’s Kuroda’s statement regarding the increase in Japanese yields. There are speculations that Kuroda could either talk about economic expectations for 2017 or the risks involved with a sudden surge in bond yields. However, it is more definite that Kuroda will be treading carefully with regards to increasing market expectations of an interest rate hike.
The Bank of Japan could possibly sustain its present pledge-to-guide short term rates at -0.1% and 10-year Japanese Government bond yields at around 0% in spite of a somewhat positive sentiment for the Japanese economy. However, traders are advised to be careful with regards to holding Japanese bond yields at 0%, since long-term interest rates have now increased due to speculations of a steadier US rate hikes and an inflation surge under the Trump administration. The Bank of Japan is now under pressure due to calls for the central bank to add up its 10-year yields target.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: December 20, 2016
The GBP/USD pair exhibited consolidation and range trading during the past trading session, with the currency pair now trading over 1.2400 points with more consolidation plus a bearish bias for today’s sessions. The currency pair initially exhibited positive movement during the earlier sessions but dropped in value as yesterday’s trading sessions progressed. There were economic releases from the UK during yesterday’s session, but the Scottish Prime Minister has released a statement which inadvertently threatens the UK’s Brexit process after Scotland decided to remain in the European Union, whereas the whole of UK has already decided to relieve themselves from the eurozone. This has already increased the risk of the already very muddled Brexit process since Parliament members are now in the middle of debating the validity of Article 50 which is a vital part of the said process.
For today’s trading session, there are no major economic releases expected from the UK but the recent strength of the USD could dominate the whole market, and the continuing confusion with regards to the Brexit process could increase the downward pressure on the GBP/USD pair for the coming weeks. Any bounce found in the currency pair should be immediately seen as a short opportunity for this particular currency pair.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: December 20, 2016
The EUR/USD pair has been subject to immense pressure during the previous trading session due to the USD’s increase in value, along with a number of geopolitical occurrences that made an impact in the international financial market. The EUR/USD pair started out strong during yesterday’s trading session and attempted to break through its resistance levels of 1.0465 points. However, the pair was unable to go beyond this particular area even if the German Ifo Business Climate data turned out to be much better than expected.
The drop in the value of the EUR/USD pair continued up until the New York session, where Yellen released a statement which turned out to be very hawkish for the USD and increase dollar buys, thereby incurring more losses for the EUR/USD pair. The currency pair is now just over 1.0400 points and the pair could further drop in the subsequent trading sessions.
Today’s trading session is markedly lacking of important news releases from the Eurozone and the US, and this could cause the EUR/USD pair to be swayed by currency flows. The pair could also experience consolidation with a bearish bias since liquidity during the holidays is expected to diminish. The pair could possibly drop further and any reversions at the 1.0465 region is an opportunity to immediately sell the currency pair.

USD/CAD Fundamental Analysis
The USD/CAD pair is in consolidation within the predicted range. It is moving in an upward direction which was supported by the strong U.S. dollar which may persist for quite some time including in the medium term considering the market trend in preparation for the rate hike.
The market positioned a 55 basis points with the next 2 to 3 rate hike in mind for next year as mentioned in the last Fed meeting. There is a tendency for the price to overshoot as this will be the focus in the market. In turn, this will be beneficial for the greenback. Regards to oil prices, it is in consolidation with the strong market sentiment about to fade and shifting its focus to its execution instead. The Bank of Canada is projecting the economy is doing well but the not in the real data.
It is foreseen that once Trump would officially take charge in January, this would balance out the trade between U.S. and its neighboring countries. This could greatly affect the loonie which would then force its central bank to reduce rates. These two contradicting events would contribute in the surge of the pair.
There will be no major news to be released today. It may stay to consolidate within range giving a bullish tone in the financial market.
