Weekly Comprehensive Analysis For The Period January 29 th – February 3 rd 2017 Previous week US and UK GDP but the most significant event over the past week was the New Zealand CPI, which came over previous months and over expectations. Markets gave to response to the Washington London meeting. On the other hand, we can find that markets gave a bottom for the GBP and buyers started to long short trades. Next Week:           Despite the fact that we are focusing more on the political calendar more than the economic calendar, we don’t ignore it when it comes to the Federal Reserve Bank & Bank of Japan policy statement and interest rates decision.  Fed & BOJ releases are some of punch of news coming next week.  We have also Euro CPI and GDP, US & New Zealand unemployment rate and RBA monetary statement.            So every day in the week we have very st...
WEEKLY COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS FOR THE PERIOD BETWEEN January 22 nd – 27 th , 2017 Previous week: Tough but nice week. I describe it that way because despite that fact that it holds a lot of talks and volatility, but it makes the picture clearer than the previous 2 months. The main points on Mr. Draghi`s speech was that the interest rates are expected to remain unchanged for long period of time with the probability of decreasing it more. Also the APP program will remain at 80B till March through February, and it will be decreased to 60B till the end of 2017. Finally he said that the economic growth in the euro area still dampened by sluggish pace of implementation of structural reforms in the Euro area.

January 8th – 13th 2017

Weekly comprehensive analysis For the period between January 8 th – 13 th 2017 Happy New Year J , we apologize for the previous period cut off. It was deliberately due to the case of uncertainty and low volume trading by the end of the year. Previous week: Previous week was quit week, although it holds the US unemployment rate. Volumes and volatility were unexpectedly low. We have seen a significant bullish movement on the EUR USD pair on Thursday resulted by the expectation of low numbers on Friday.  Despite the bad employment numbers issued on Friday, the EUR/USD moved bearishly due to 2 reasons. Firstly; Friday the congress convenes certify elections results, which for sure pushed the USD higher. Secondly; the oil prices tend to retreat this day. Other important event occurred week which is the FOMC meeting minutes. The most highlighted points in that meeting are; the economic projections of the FED board of members & FED presidents the GDP won't be more th...
