Forex Dark Clouds Hang Over AUD/USD / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Nadia_Simmons
The Australian dollar declined to a two-month low against its U.S. counterpart after official data showed that the number of employed people in Australia fell by 300 in the previous month, missing expectations for an increase of 12,000. Additionally, Australia's unemployment rate rose to 6.4% last month, from 6.0% in June. Later in the day, AUD/USD extended losses after the Labor Department said in its report that initial claims for jobless benefits in the week ending Aug. 2 fell by 14,000, beating analysts’ expectations for a 2,000 increase. Because of these numbers, the pair declined to the long-term support line. Will it be strong enough to stop currency bears’ charge?

By: Ed_Carlson

AUD-NZD Pullback Opportunity / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Austin_Galt
Well, the AUDNZD absolutely exploded out of that false break low pattern identified a few weeks ago. I was hoping to add more long positions at the start of last week but wasn't nimble enough. I may just get another opportunity shortly albeit at higher prices but sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches. The market is the big boss and I am but its mere minion. Let's take a look at what's currently being offered up with the daily chart.

AUD-JPY - Watching Commodity Currencies – What Can Be Learned / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Submissions
ForexKong: It’s pretty common knowledge that the currencies of countries with “commodity related economies” such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada are seen as the “darlings of the currency markets” during times when investors feel safe.
Simply put, large institutional investors are able to borrow money such as U.S Dollars or Japanese Yen at extremely low rates of interest, then use these funds to invest in currencies / countries where higher yields and greater opportunities can be found. Australia with its mining / gold related businesses, as well Canada with its oil as a couple of good examples.

Forex Multi-week Consolidation in EUR/USD Ended / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Nadia_Simmons
Earlier today, official data showed that the annual rate of U.S. inflation was at 1.2% in the previous month, while core inflation (without food and energy costs) increased by just 0.1% month-on-month and U.S. consumer prices were up 0.3%. On top of that, U.S. existing home sales increased 2.6%, while analysts had expected an increase of 2%. Thanks to these bullish numbers, the common currency declined against the U.S dollar to a 8-month low. What are the implications of this event?

AUD NZD Taking The Forex Bull By The Horns / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Austin_Galt
Since my last AUDNZD report, the false break low of 1.062 has been confirmed by a sharp move higher. The nature of the move looks very impulsive. As I have said in previous reports, I am very bullish about the long term prospects of the AUDNZD and so therefore will be on the lookout for opportunities to average up into my existing long position. One such opportunity may be about to present itself this week. Let’s take a look beginning with the daily chart.Read full article... Read full article...

Escalating Middle East Tensions Could Spur Forex Market Volatility / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: MahiFX
The extraordinary events featuring the Islamist extremist movement ISIS seemingly determined to carve out a new caliphate covering large parts of Syria and Iraq could yet have big reverberations in the currency markets.
Potential volatility in the currencies is likely to be first telegraphed through the oil market with the Middle East being a key supplier to the world economy. Should oil prices soar, say if ISIS made further big advances, then there could be serious damage done to the world economy.

AUD-USD Fake Out / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Austin_Galt
Your rugby opponent runs towards you with ball in hand. Just as you’re about to tackle him he feigns to go right, but then steps back to the left and darts off with you in hot pursuit. Just as it is in rugby, so too is it in the market. The market is our opponent and it’s our job to tackle it. It is not our friend. It is our enemy and it will do all it can to elude us. It will play mind games with us. Daring us to do this or that, knowing its only aim is to dupe us. And if we are duped it will do its utmost not to let us catch it after we finally cotton on to the charade. In this case, the AUDUSD looks to have dummied to the high side then sidestepped back to the low side and is now streaking away. Rallies should be small as it makes it hard to get set for those that didn’t pick the initial fake out.

Learn How to Analyse the Forex Markets Using Fibonacci Ratios / InvestorEducation / Forex Trading
By: Submissions
David Parker writes: Given a forex trader’s endless search of his next trading position, the Fibonacci tool falls under the scope of technical analysis and it’s used for the prediction of future price levels. Many technical analysts have considerable respect for its abilities in predicting future rates, and learning how to use Fibonacci numbers may contribute a lot to your forex trading career. However, as it is the case with most technical indicators, this tool is best to be combined with other technical sources and fundamental data for a more holistic feedback on future price movements.
