GBPUSD: Bearishness Remains Dominant
Outlook for the pair continues to point to the downside after bear pressure pushed GBP further lower the past week. This is coming on the back of its previous week losses and has now opened up further downside risk towards the 1.5326 level, its Aug 31'10 low. On a turn
EURUSD: Set For More Gains
Having closed strongly higher on the back of previous week strength, further bullish threats are now likely as we enter a new week. This technical development should call for more strength towards its Aug 18'10 high at 1.2921 with a violation there targeting the 1.3332 level. A break will resume
USDCAD: Collapses, Halts Upside Offensive
USDCAD: The pair ended the week lower after an attempt on the upside failed the past week and pushed USDCAD to a low of 1.0384 on Friday. With that said, we think a follow through lower should see the pair weakening further towards the 1.0246 level, its Aug 19’10 low
Weekly Technical Update: Greenback Weakened Post Non-Farm Payroll

For the week, all the major crosses except sterling rose against the greenback. Private-sector payrolls grew more than expected in August and job losses
Weekly Economic and Financial Commentary
For a generation of Americans brought up on action heroes who face impossible challenges and then win the day, the results of fiscal and monetary stimulus are disappointing. Yet, the level of pessimism and talk of a double-dip strike us as too much of a bad thing. This week we
The Weekly Bottom Line
We had some fairly positive data this week, starting with expansions in both personal income and consumption for the month of July. Then the Conference Board's consumer confidence index surprised market expectations on the upside and the ISM manufacturing index also fared better than expected underpinned by a surprisingly strong
Risk Rebounds on Improving Global Data
The past week began with disappointment stemming from Japan's lack of direct currency intervention and risk aversion looked probable to continue into the week. This was not the case as better than expected Australian 2Q GDP started a ripple effect culminating into a global wave of positive data surprises. Upbeat
Is this an Audacious Obama Hope Rally?
The strong rally in risk into today's close in the US today can't be about this week's economic data particularly as the ISM non-manufacturing index for August showed a steep deceleration. So why the rally? The combination of an equity rally and a lousy ISM resulted in the predictable
