EUR/USD gained more than 100 pips today on the bad macroeconomic data coming out in U.S. This currency pair went up from 1.4714 at the opening of the Asian trading session to 1.4816 at the end of the New York session. GBP/USD also grew very fast today — from 1.9420 to 1.9622. The major trend movement against the European currency happened after the release of the Philadelphia Fed’s business activity index, […]

CPI release for January along with some moderate data on housing lifted traders’ expectations and spurred some good growth of the U.S. dollar with both EUR/USD and GBP/USD losing about a half percent for the day. It may be a good sign for the dollar bulls eventually as it is almost definite now that the recession is either ending or is not going to happen at all.
January CPI grew […]

This my first interview with a major Forex broker. Jaclyn, Public Relations Coordinator of the FXCM broker. Decided to answer some of the questions I’ve sent them via e-mail. The questions touch various topics and should be interesting not only to the current customers of the FXCM, but also to any trader who is interested in a current on-line Forex trading situation. Bad thing is that answers sound too […]

One articles describes the Forex hedging in general, while another is about a grid hedging system, which […]

This week ends far worse for dollar bulls than they may have expected. Only Wednesday was an uptrend day for the U.S. dollar, but it didn’t gain a lot that day. Friday brought in the break through the 1.4700 resistance level on EUR/USD. Some disappointing data on the net foreign purchases and the manufacturing survey were the most important causes of today’s dollar’s decline.
