Japanese stocks have rapidly fallen due to the passive decision of the Bank of Japan, the Fed which kept the interest rate unchanged in the USA at 0.5%. These events triggered active sales in the market. The leading index Nikkei edged down to 3.1% (a low since April), since the start of the week the index tumbled 7%. The Topix slid 2.8%, a low since February. In the short run the market will stay in the zone of oversold. Concerns over the referendum in the UK are so high that we should not expect any growth until June 23. At the moment market participants prefer to avoid any risk assets. Fund managers worry about their assets and try to reduce them having more cash to protect their funds. NewForex Analyst Michael Butnitsky Forex News from New Forex: Swiss National Bank keeps the negative interest rate The Swiss franc has not significantly changed against the US dollar and the euro after the decision of the Swiss National Bank to hold the current interest rate at −0.75%. The currency instrument euro/franc stands at 1.0822, dollar/franc gained 0.6% to 0.9615. Since the start of this month the Swiss franc advanced 2% against the euro and 3% against the US dollar. The market keeps a close eye on the British currency before the hard choice about the membership in the EU. The pound pares earlier losses after the release of data on retail sales in May. Retail sales surged from 5.2% in April to 6.0% year on year, meanwhile experts forecast a decline to 3.9%. Core retail sales climbed 5.7% in comparison with the same period last year. Thus, at the moment pound/dollar tumbles 0.24%, euro/pound gains 0.19%. The dollar index slid 0.13% to 94.55. European markets stay in the red zone today after the decision of the Fed and the Bank of Japan.

Yesterday information about US oil inventories was released and last week they decreased by 933 000 barrels to 531.5 mln. WTI and Brent futures lost almost 8% after a high at $52 since June 9. It is obvious that investors are not prone to take risks before the referendum in the UK on June 23 and prefer to fix their profit. Gold price rises after the Fed’s decision to delay the interest rate hike. It is clear that the more often the rate rise is delayed, the better it is for the gold sentiment in the market. Gold futures with the delivery in August advanced 1.47% to $1.307.20 a troy ounce hitting a 2-year high. Spot gold rose 1.09% to $1.305.20. Silver futures with the delivery in July jumped 1.21% to $17.715. NewForex Analyst Michael Butnitsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Mon Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Forex News from New Forex: Greenback drops against the euro after unemployment data On Friday, June 17, the US dollar loses ground versus the euro.

Information on jobless claims was released yesterday and last week the number increased by 13 000 to 277 000 instead of expected decline to 270 000. The consumer price index for May shed from 1.1% to 1.0% year on year. Today investors wait for new data in the construction sector. The pair euro/dollar picked up 0.33% to 1.126.

NewForex Analyst David Fineberg Forex News from New Forex: Gold takes a break after a rise Gold futures with the delivery in August shed 0.82% today to 1.287.80 a troy ounce. The immediate level of support is seen at $1,273.0 (a low since June 13), the level of resistance stands at $1,316.40 (a high since June 16). We expect a further rise of the precious metal as the question of Brexit and the decision of the Fed to keep the interest rate unchanged increase the demand for the yellow metal. Gold prices surged 0.7% since the start of the week and 21% since the start of the year. Today’s decline is due to the murder of the Parliament member Jo Cox in the UK who voted for keeping a membership in the European Union. The first murder of the PM since times of Irish terrorism can push the UK citizens to vote for staying in the EU. Silver futures with the delivery in July slid 1.18% today to $17.40.

In Japan the Nikkei 225 edged up 1.07% after a 3.1% fall on Thursday when the Bank of Japan decided to delay the introduction of extra stimulus measures. The Topix added 0.8%, the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 managed to pick up 0.7%. The situation in Hong Kong is favourable like in the whole Asia today. However, currently global markets feel tension due to the coming referendum in the UK. Investors consider that the murder of the UK Parliament Member might change the sentiment in favour of remaining in the EU. The Hang Seng index rose 0.7%, although it lost 4.1% this week. The China Enterprises Index increased by 0.9%. In Hong Kong leading sectors of economic activity demonstrate positive dynamics.

Although recent opinion polls show the lead of Bremain, the difference is minimal and statistical discrepancy should not be excluded. Thus, market participants can’t eliminate the possibility of Brexit.

The currency instrument pound/dollar picked up 0.40% to 1.3395 after hitting a 31-year low at 1.3122. The pound climbed 0.41% versus the euro. The British currency is under pressure after the decision to leave the European Union, global markets are scared of financial consequences.

NewForex Analyst Sara Rosenstein Forex News from New Forex: Gold and silver trade without losses Precious metals gain ground in the trading on Wednesday, market participants are ready to invest into safe assets after the unexpected decision of the UK to leave the European Union. Gold futures with the delivery in August picked up 0.17% to 1320.60 a troy ounce, yesterday they shed 0.51%. After the UK referendum the yellow metal hit a 27-month high at $1,362.60. Since the start of the year gold has risen by 25% amid concerns over the slowdown of global economic growth and delay of the interest rate hike in the USA. Meanwhile, if Brexit exerts considerable influence on markets, central banks might take measures to stabilize them, which might have a negative impact on gold positions. Spot gold climbed 0.48% to 1.318.40. In the nearest future metal might rise, uncertainty over the interest rate hike will lend support to gold. Silver futures with the delivery in September jumped 2.24% to 18.29 a troy ounce. NewForex Analyst Sara Rosenstein Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of EUR/USD During the Asian trading session on Wednesday the single currency trades with a slight rate rise. On Tuesday the euro got support amid the general easing of the US dollar reaching 1.1111 and then bounced off to 1.1060-70, as the result tradings closed with a firm bullish candlestick on the day chart. However, the market could not fix outside yesterday’s support and resistance (1.1016 and 1.1066). The 14-day RSI remains below its central line, exponential moving averages with periods 20 and 55 days decline without any sign of crossing. The oscillator Stochastic decreases sending signals to sell. The MACD-histogram stands in the negative zone but rises slowly to the positive field. Thus, in the short run technical characteristics indicate a neutral market sentiment. For the uptrend the price should fix above the yesterday’s high at 1.1111. For the downtrend it should breach the current support at 1.1010 and then at 1.0982. NewForex Analyst David Fineberg Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of GBP/USD On Wednesday the pair is quite steady standing within the strong levels of support and resistance at 1.3272 and 1.3493 respectively testing the intermediate resistance at 1.3401. In the short run the pair will further consolidate. A long-term technical structure is prone to the bearish market sentiment in case of breaching the strong level of support at 1.3119 (a low since June 27). The MACD-histogram remains in the negative zone but rises. The RSI stands below its central line, the Stochastic sends a signal to sell.

An additional factor influencing on the fall of oil prices was the renewal of oil output in Nigeria. In Norway oil companies and trade unions started today 2-day negotiations over the wage increase hoping to avoid strikes which might lead to the decrease of oil and gas output by 12% in the country. NewForex Analyst David Fineberg Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of EUR/USD During the last three days the pair demonstrated a slight rise after a shock amid the referendum results in the UK devoted to leaving the European Union. In the trading on Thursday the price stands within the support at 1.1086 and resistance at 1.1117. Thus, we observe the continuation of the correctional period. In the short term a growth resumption might be possible in case of consolidating above the strong resistance level at 1.1167 which might give a way to 1.1252. For the opposite scenario the market should breach the support at 1.1050 which will help to go to 1.0971. Due to high market volatility sharp price movements do not exclude the continuation of consolidation. In a 4-hour timeframe EMA20 and EMA55 keep declining but the moving average with the period 20 days has slowed down and reverse. The MACD-histogram broke the even at the moment. The Stochastic informs about the overbought of the trading instrument.

In the short term in a 4-hour timeframe the MACD-histogram is seen in the negative zone but is ascending now. The RSI is close to the central line and might move to the field above it. The Stochastic decreases sending signals to sell. A long-term technical structure remains negative which in its turn leads to the further market descend.

NewForex Analyst Luigi Campo Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of EUR/USD During the trading session on Thursday the currency pair rose to 1.1106 and later bounced off to 1.1052 making a firm bearish candlestick in the day chart which shows the market intention to decline. It is necessary to breach the strong support at 1.1050. In case of success we expect to see the price at 1.0970. Otherwise, the market has to breach the resistance at 1.1111 which will allow the pair to climb to 1.1180. In the trading on Friday the pair remains within the support level at 1.1067 and resistance at 1.1095. EMA20 and EMA55 crossed downwards and keep descending. The MACD-histogram stands in the negative zone and slowly rises. The oscillator Stochastic sends a signal to sell. The market consolidated due to the decreased activity of its participants before the release of macroeconomic data from the US today at 15:00 GTM. NewForex Analyst Luigi Campo Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of GBP/USD On Thursday the pair edged up to 1.3076 but later bounced off to 1.2878 finishing trades with a neutral day candlestick which says about the weakness of the currency pair and market consolidation giving chances both to bulls and bears, according to the current technical structure. On Friday the price remains within the support at 1.2883 and resistance at 1.3000. However, it is not so simple here. Today at 15:30 GTM the market expects the release of unemployment data and nonfarm payrolls for June. Consequently, all market participants shudder to a halt in the anticipation of macroeconomic statistics from the US. Thus, a further scenario totally depends on the released data. Exponential moving averages consolidated, decline and slowed down. The MACD-histogram remains in the negative zone but slightly rises. The RSI also stands below its central line. The Stochastic sends a signal to buy. We don’t exclude a further market descend hitting new record lows, even if the greenback receives firm support today.

NewForex Analyst Michael Butnitsky Forex News from New Forex: Technical analysis of EUR/USD In the trading on Tuesday, July 12, the pair EUR/USD keeps it yesterday’s bearish sentiment. As we see on a 5-minute chart it trades within the support at 1.1045 and resistance at 1.1125. The indicator Stochastic shows that the pair EUR/USD stands in the zone of overbought. It allows us to suppose that the pair will decline in the short run. At the moment market participants are in the anticipation of the Bank of England meeting over the interest rate this Thursday. And also we wait for the retail data from the USA which is due to be released on Friday and might influence on the dollar rate. These two events may affect changes within the pair this week.
