The euro has broken through resistance in fx at 1.4500, and is prepared to move higher, probably after a period of consolidation. Indeed, the euro appears to be having a good chance of consolidation as dollar weakness continues today.

Right now, the euro is moving forward on momentum.

Having cleared the key technical barriers of at 1.4500, the trade in EUR/USD has now entered pure momentum territory, a dynamic that academics call price-to-price feedback with pair rising simply because it has already risen.

If the stock market manages to continue to make gains today (in spite of futures pointing to a lower open), it is possible that the euro gains even more support in forex trading.

We are in a severe slowdown, with severe consequences,” Bernanke said. “A fiscal package would not only boost overall spending and economic activity. (read more)

Future generations of forex traders will know how to utilize the full scope of forex trading online tools that are available to them and they will be the most powerful group of investors that any economy in any market has ever seen.

Yesterday, the sterling received a rather nasty beating in forex trading. Risk aversion set in, and the cable dropped in currency trading as equity markets around the world declined in value. Today, though, the story is changing a bit.

Inflation data out of Britain shows that things are picking up a bit. Indeed, the inflation data was rather surprising, and many have speculated that the British economy is in reasonably good shape. As a result, the sterling has largely recovered its losses from yesterday. GFT’s Boris Schlossberg reports in FX360 about what might be expected from the cable in currency trading today:

Today’s better than forecast inflation data should prove supportive to sterling for the rest for the rest of day if equity markets rally in North American session and the pair could make a run at the 1.6500 handle if risk flows return.

With the U.S. stock market already higher early in the session, it is little surprise that the cable has already reached the 1.6500 mark in currency trading and is heading higher.

  Currency trading on the FX market

One of the more interesting developments over the past few days has been the decoupling of the cable from risk appetite. Instead, the sterling in currency trading has been based more on U.K. fundamentals. This might be the reason that today’s quantitative easing announcement from the Bank of England, along with its lukewarm reasoning on the economy, has sent the sterling lower in currency trading.

Over at FX360, Boris Schlossberg expresses his opinion about the decoupling of cable from risk appetite:

In the past several days, the unit has decoupled from risk appetite, remaining strong despite lack of further gains in equity prices as currency traders have focused on improving UK fundamentals instead. However we continue to believe that the uptick in UK economic data is a direct result of much better capital market performance and could quickly reverse if equities see a correction. To that end, the trade in sterling very much remains a trade in risk.

It will be interesting to follow further developments, and see how things play out in forex trading going forward.

Commodity currencies may soon see a boost in Forex trading. China is considered one of the major economic up and comers, and with it comes vast amounts of money to spend. China has already expressed an interest in diversification, and that country’s new investments could especially benefit commodity currencies.

Kathy Lien describes the possibility that China will boost commodity currencies in FX360:

To go out means to look for investment opportunities abroad and by making these comments, China has officially announced that they will be embarking on a spending spree. For investors looking for buying opportunities, they should buy what China buys. In terms of currencies, the most basic need that China has is commodities and their demand could provide support for the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars.

Because of their reliance on commodities, such as oil, gold and other tangible assets, down under currencies and the Canadian dollar do well when trade centers around these things. And with China looking for better returns and a more diverse investment portfolio, it might mean better news for commodity currencies — and a weaker U.S. dollar in the future.

Last week, China reported that their foreign exchange reserves exceeded $2 trillion and it is under this environment that the U.S. and China will begin their Economic and Strategic Dialogue on Monday. As forex traders and investors look for opportunities in the second half of the year, we encourage everyone to buy what China buys. On Tuesday, Premier Wen Jiabao pushed Chinese companies to hasten their “going out strategy” and for the first time ever, he said the government could use foreign exchange reserves to help companies invest abroad. In other words, the Chinese government has basically given domestic firms the political and financial support to go on a spending spree.
