GBP/USD. November 12, 2019 – Pound moderately grows despite weak macroeconomic data The British sterling today shows growth to the level of 1,2800, despite weaker than expected data on GDP, trade and industrial production in the UK. British GDP grew by only 0.3% in the III quarter (the forecast – growth by 0.4%), the trade balance was at -12.541 billion pounds, and industrial production – -0.3% (the forecast of -0 , 2%).
The British currency was supported by Nigel Farage's comments, that his Brexit party would not oppose the Conservative candidates. This is great news for Boris Johnson, whose chances of winning the December elections have grown significantly after this statement.
However, this positive can be offset by weak macroeconomic data. Today's report on the labor market reflected an increase in the number of applications for unemployment benefits to 33 thousand. The previous indicator was fixed at around 13.5 thousand.
Thus, today under the influence of multidirectional factors, the sterling will continue to grow moderately to the level of 1.28. However, fixing below this mark is unlikely.

EUR/USD. November 13, 2019 – Euro plummeted to 1.10 The euro continues to decline to the mark of 1.1000 against the backdrop of a deterioration in appetite for risky assets. Pressure on risk was exerted by yesterday's speech of US President D. Trump at the Economic Club of New York. The US leader gave a very contradictory evaluation of the current state of trade negotiations. Trump noted that USA and China nowadays are close to concluding an intermediate phase of a trade deal, however, at the same time, the US intend to further increase import duties from China.
An additional reason for the European currency weakness became the information on possible tariffs by the United States for automotive products in the EU.
Today, attention should be paid to the speech of Fed Chairman J. Powell in Congress. It is expected that his rhetoric will remain as optimistic as it have been after the October meeting of the regulator, which will allow the dollar to maintain a strong position. During the day the pair EUR/USD will fluctuate near the mark of 1.10.

GBP/USD. November 19, 2019 – Pound is likely to weaken At the beginning of the week, the British sterling showed growth to the level of 1.3000, but the bulls failed to overcome it. Today, the GBP/USD pair has fallen to around 1.2925.
This week is not rich in the publication of macroeconomic data, so the major impact on the dynamics of the British currency will have the first head-to-head debates between Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn on ITV. It’s known, that Johnson’s party is far ahead of the Labor Party. The market also likes his words about tax breaks and increased spending, that supports the pound.
However, experts believe that the positive effect of the last deferral of Brexit is almost completely taken into account in quotations. Therefore, with the arrival of new weak macroeconomic data on the British economy, the pound may cease to recover.

EUR/USD. November 20, 2019 – Euro weakly declining amid pessimism over trade negotiations The euro continues to decline moderately after a steady rise the days before. The current quotation of the pair EUR/USD is 1.1053. The euro is under the influence of conflicting news coming from the front of trade negotiations between the United States and China. On the one hand, the US authorities extended the license for the Chinese company Huawei for another 90 days. On the other hand, the Chinese side still doubts the possibility of concluding a final agreement. This information made many traders go into defensive assets.
Moreover, China has protested against the United States approval of the Hong Kong Bill («On the Protection of Human Rights and Democracy in Hong Kong»), considering it to be interference in China and a violation of international laws. Such actions could again cool the relations between the two countries, which, for its part, negatively affect further trade talks and put strong pressure on risky assets. As a result, the euro may resume decline to the area of 1.1030.

USD/CAD. November 21, 2019 – Canadian dollar weakened to 5-week lows The Canadian dollar fell to a 5-week low at mark 1.3330, despite rising inflationary pressure in Canada and the strengthening of Brent position in the oil market to $62.70 per barrel. The current quotation of the USD/CAD pair is 1.3300. Pessimism over US-China trade relations is forcing investors to give up risky assets and raises demand for safe assets and the dollar. Moreover it is putting pressure on commodity goods prices and commodity currencies, such as CAD.
According to current data, consumer prices in October rose 0.3% after falling 0.4% in September. Inflation remained at 1.9% year on year. Today, attention should be paid to the speech by the Governor of the Bank of Canada Stephen Poloz, who may touch on the theme of deterioration of the global economy, which increases the risks of lower interest rates in Canada.
The decision on monetary policy will be made by the Bank of Canada at the next meeting of the regulator, scheduled for December 4. Up to this point, the Canadian dollar may be under pressure in the area of 1.3300. Tomorrow you should pay attention to the release of data on retail sales.

22.11. European markets lost growth after weak PMI On Friday, European stock markets slowed earlier growth. It was caused by the publication of the weak preliminary business activity index (PMI) in the Eurozone, which didn’t show the visible improvement in the economy of the region, still weighed down by the trade conflict between the US and China.
According to IHS Markit, in October, the composite business activity index in the European Union fell from 50.6 to 50.3, fell short of the expectations for an improvement to 50.9. Data from France and Germany showed that manufacturing PMIs were stronger than expected, but service sector activity slowed sharply.
Christina Lagarde, the new president of the European Central Bank noted, that she was not intended to sharply change the monetary policies of her predecessor, Mario Draghi. And judging by the shares, banks are confident that in the near future easing of monetary policy will not happen.

EUR/USD. November 25, 2019 – The euro has weakened to the level of 1.10 Last Friday the US dollar got strong support amid published macroeconomic data. This allowed the quotes of the EUR/USD pair to reach closely to the level of 1.1000. According to the data, the index of business activity in industry and in the service sector grew from 51.3 and 50.6 points to 52.2 and 51.6 points, respectively. At the same time, statistics from the EU put pressure on the euro: the PMI composite business activity index in the region fell moderately and remained close to 50.
Additional pressure on the euro was provided by gold sales amid growing interest in risky assets. The reason for improving risk appetite was the information that China plans to increase fines for violations of intellectual property rights, trying to eliminate one of the key topics of the trade conflict between the United States and China. Moreover, the bill in support of protesters in Hong Kong was never signed by US President D. Trump, which significantly reduced the degree of tension between the countries.
So, in the prevailing conditions, the pair will move in a narrow range near the level of 1.10.

EUR/USD. November 26, 2019 – Euro in a narrow range just above 1.10 Sentiment on global markets remains positive amid further optimistic statements on trade negotiations. It became known that the United States and China continue to take active measures to sign the first part of the deal as soon as possible. In particular, the parties held telephone talks: Deputy Prime Minister He, the US Minister of Finance S. Mnuchin and the sales representative R. Lighthizer reached an agreement on many issues, including the cancellation of part of the tariffs.
Moreover, D. Trump did not sign the bill on the situation in Hong Kong, earlier being approved by both houses of Congress, that confirms the US’s reluctance to escalate the conflict with China.
As a result, the EUR/USD pair strengthened slightly to 1.1015 mark. Nevertheless, the euro is still under pressure – the Ifo data on the business climate in Germany released yesterday confirmed that a quick recovery in the German economy is currently unlikely. During the day, the pair will fluctuate slightly above 1.10.

EUR/USD. November 27, 2019 – Euro continues to weaken In the absence of significant macroeconomic data, the EUR/USD pair continues to decline slightly to the level of 1.10. The focus of the markets is still the news on the course of trade talks between the US and China. The day before, US President D. Trump reiterated that the sides are very close to signing the first phase of a comprehensive agreement, which had supported the full range of risky assets.
Today, you should pay attention to the release of data on the US economy: the Index of manufacturing activity from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, statistics on orders for durable goods, as well as an updated estimate of GDP for the III quarter.
Recall that Thanksgiving day is celebrated in the USA tomorrow, in connection with which the American sites will be closed, and trading activity at the end of the week may significantly decrease. Today, the EUR/USD pair will be trading nearby the level of 1.10.

GBP/USD. November 28, 2019 – Pound rises on Brexit positive news Yesterday, the pound got support and managed to rise to the level of 1.2950. The growth driver was the result of a public opinion poll according to which the Conservative Party, which includes the current British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, can count for a majority of votes in parliament on December elections. As a result, this may increase the likelihood of «soft» Brexit (with a deal) before the deadline set for January 31.
On the other hand, in the debt market we see a decrease in the yield spread of 10-year UK/US government bonds, which signals a possible fall of the British currency.
Today the United States celebrate Thanksgiving day, so the market activity will not be high. During the day, the pair will fluctuate in the range of 1.2900-12950.

EUR/USD. November 29, 2019 – The pair stabilized at 1.10 The appetite for risky assets remains moderate amid another complication in relations between the US and China. On the eve it became known that D. Trump nethertheless signed a bill supporting protesters in Hong Kong.
Important macroeconomic news is not expected today, so the pair EUR/USD will continue to fluctuate in the area of 1.1000. Yesterday's inflation data in Germany did not have a visible impact on the euro, despite the fact that the consumer price index was slightly better than expected (1.2% y/y against the expected 1.1% y/y). In the daytime you should pay attention to the release of data on inflation in the European Union.
Yesterday American exchanges were closed due to Thanksgiving celebration, and today the US sites will close earlier than usual, so trading activity in the evening hours is likely to remain low.

EUR/USD. December 02, 2019 – Euro continues to drift in the area of lows At the end of last week the euro soared to 1.1025 after Friday falling to 1.0975. The growth was contributed by data on manufacturing activity in China, which turned out to be better than the expectations of market participants. In particular, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) in China's manufacturing sector rose from 51.7 in October to 51.8 in November. Analysts had expected a decline to 51.4 points.
At the same time, the growth of risk appetite is limited by reports that China imposed a number of sanctions against some US non-governmental organizations in response to the adoption of a law supporting protesters in Hong Kong. These measures suggest that the controversy between the US and China are not limited only to trade, and it will not be easy to reach a final agreement.
Today you should pay attention to the release of data on the Index of business activity in the States from ISM (18:00 Moscow time). Actual statistics may support the dollar. In anticipation of the data, the EUR/USD pair will continue to fluctuate slightly above the level of 1.10.

EUR/USD. December 03, 2019 – Euro approached 1.11 Yesterday the EUR/USD pair unexpectedly increased in price, almost touched the level of 1.1100. Such alignment of forces in the pair was facilitated by the US President’s tweet, in which he charged Brazil and Argentina with weakness of their currencies, and introduced tariffs against export from these two countries. In addition, Trump demanded that the Fed must lower the interest rate at the next meeting.
Additional pressure on the dollar was provided by weak macroeconomic data from the United States: the ISM index of economic conditions in the manufacturing sector in November amounted to 48.1%, while analysts had forecast a figure of 49.2%. In addition, construction costs unexpectedly fell by 0.8%, although analysts had expected an increase of 0.4%.
As a result, the US dollar collapsed across the full spectrum of the Forex market, even in relation to risky assets. The additional negative was caused by the US and Chinese altercations around the human rights situation in Hong Kong.
However, it should be noted, that macroeconomic data from Germany and the eurozone gave support to the euro. Indices of business activity in industry in November showed growth: in Germany - from 43.8 to 44.1 points, in the eurozone - from 46.6 to 46.9 points. Thus, the euro feels quite confident in the current conditions. During the day the pair will continue to attempt to reach the level of 1.11.

GBP/USD. December 04, 2019 – British pound updated 7-month high The British sterling is currently the strongest currency on the market. Paired with the US dollar, the pound managed to rise to the area of 1.3060 (which became a 7-month high), although a week ago, it was trading near the area of 1.28. The current quotation of the pair GBP/USD is 1.3045.
The currency is getting support provided by several factors. The first is optimism around Brexit. On December 12 in the UK there will be held early parliamentary elections, which will most likely be won by the ruling party led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Johnson promises to withdraw Britain from the European Union by January 31, 2020, and the market believes him.
Secondly, the general weakness of the US dollar on world markets allowed the pound to strengthen in the GBP/USD pair and update the high of early May.
Under current conditions, British sterling will feel confident and further, until December 12th.

Brent. December 05, 2019 – Oil rose to $63.50 per barrel Oil prices began to rise after yesterday's industry report from the US Department of Energy. The Department reported a drawdown on crude oil inventories in the United States last week for nearly 5 million barrels per week, which is the most dramatic reduction in oil reserves in the past 12 weeks. As a result, Brent rose in price to $63.50 per barrel.
Today starts a two-day meeting of the OPEC+ monitoring committee in Vienna. Analysts expect participating countries to extend the current deal until June 2020 and not to change the parameters of this deal. It also supports oil prices.
Also today attention should be paid to Saudi Arabia, where Saudi Aramco, the country's national oil company, will announce its IPO offering price. It is noted that the demand for stocks is increased, which means that the company can place actions on the upper price limit.

EUR/USD. December 06, 2019 – The dollar grows amid strong labor market data Today the euro began to decline, failing to gain a foothold above the level of 1.11. The currency was pressured by weak data from the eurozone: retail sales in the region in November turned out to be worse than expected – annual indicator grew by only 1.4% against the forecast of 2.7%. German manufacturing orders fell 5.5%, while industrial production decreased 1.7%. Analysts expected a 0.1% increase. As a result, the pair fell to around 1.1065.
The news context on trade talks remains mixed. On the one hand, the United States notes the success of the ongoing negotiations, and on the other, the markets again received information about the disagreements of the sides regarding China's purchase of agricultural products from the United States.
Today's US labor market data supported the dollar: the number of people employed in the non-agricultural sector of the country grew by 266 thousand, while analysts predicted an increase only of 180 thousand. As a result, the EUR/USD pair will continue to decline throughout the day.

EUR/USD. December 10, 2019 – Euro started to grow after the release of data from ZEW The euro continues to strengthen to the area of 1,11, while market participants are waiting for significant events of this week, concentrated in its second half (Fed and ECB meetings, parliamentary elections in the UK).
News from the front of trade negotiations has recently remained positive. Market players expect that amid the upcoming US elections, Donald Trump is unlikely eager to escalate the trade war and disappoint market participants. Therefore, new import duties on Chinese goods most likely will not be introduced on December 15.
Today, you should pay attention to the publication of the index of economic expectations from ZEW in Germany. Fresh statistics provided visible support to the European currency, since the indicator value has peaked since February 2018. The index of expectations of investors and analysts regarding the German economy in December jumped to 10.7 points from minus 2.1 points in November. Thus, during the day the pair will continue to grow to the area of 1.11.

EUR/USD. December 11, 2019 – Dollar rises in anticipation of Fed meeting The euro failed to overcome the 1.1100 level and rolled back to 1.1075. Yesterday, the currency was strongly supported by data on economic expectations from ZEW in Germany. The index of expectations of investors and analysts regarding the German economy in December unexpectedly rose to 10.7 points from -2.1 points in November. The indicator value updated the maximum of February 2018. Experts predicted the growth rate to only 0.3 points.
Today the focus of attention of the market will tend to the meeting of the US Federal Reserve and a press conference by D. Powell. Experts expect the US regulator to leave the key rate unchanged, as well as determine the future course of monetary policy. This can provide strong support for the dollar in the evening. As a result, the pair will continue to decline throughout the day.

GBP/USD. December 12, 2019 – Sterling may rise following the parliamentary elections Today all market participants are focused on the long-awaited elections to the British Parliament. Voting results are expected not only in the UK, but around the world, as everyone wants to finally find out how the Brexit story ends. Sociological polls have shown that most likely the Tories will win, led by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
If the expectations come true, and the Conservatives get the majority of votes, Johnson will be able to complete the British exit from the EU until January 31, 2020. The first results of the vote will be released tonight, and they will be crucial for the further dynamics of the pound.
Today, the British sterling remains at high levels just below 1.3200. In general, since the British decided to withdraw from the European Union, the currency has come a long way: after the Brexit vote the pound collapsed to 1.1450 from the level of 1.5. If the Conservative Party win, the sterling will continue to rise to an area above 1.32.

GBP/USD. December 16, 2019 – Sterling still strong nearby 1.34 The British sterling continues to demonstrate «bullish» sentiment on Monday, trading at 1.3365. At the end of last week, the pound updated its maximum since April 2018, reaching the mark 1.35. The currency got strong support after the announcement of the results of the parliamentary elections in the UK. As it was expected, the Conservative Party, led by Boris Johnson, won by gaining 368 seats in the Parliament of 650. This result was the best since Margaret Thatcher’s elections.
The growth of the British currency, observed after Tories’ victory, was the result of the completion of a three-year period of political uncertainty in the country. In the near future, the European Commission plans to receive details from the UK under the terms of Brexit.
Today the sterling shows some correctional decline, responding to weak data on business activity for December. PMI manufacturing activity index fell to 47.4 from 48.9 points. However, under the above circumstances, the British currency will continue to remain strong at 1.3400.
Regards, ForexMart PR Manager
GBP/USD. December 17, 2019 – Sterling continues to keep downside The British currency continues to decline on Tuesday, reaching a support level of 1.3200. Earlier, after the victory of the conservatives in the parliamentary elections in the UK, the sterling managed to update the maximum of May 2018 at the mark 1.35, but quickly lost all positions.
Pressure on the British currency is exerted by weak macroeconomic data. In particular, yesterday's data on business activity showed the sharpest decline since July 2016. The Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) fell from the November level of 49.3 to 48.5 points in December, which became a minimum of 41 months. The service sector PMI in December fell from 49.3 to 49 points, having reached its lowest level in nine months. UK manufacturing PMI fell from 48.9 to 47.4 points, which also became the lowest indicator in four months.
Today you should pay attention to the release of data on the British labor market and the speech of the Bank of England head Mark Carney. The weakness of statistical reports may push the regulator to soften monetary policy, that will put further pressure on the sterling.
Regards, ForexMart PR Manager
EUR/USD. December 18, 2019 – Euro shows weakness Today the euro keeps showing decrease paired with the dollar, having reached the mark 1.1125. The currency is under pressure of investors' concerns about the situation with Brexit. Earlier British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said, that he intended to introduce the law about country's obligation to leave the European Union in 2020 without the possibility of extending the transition period. This fact again cast doubt on the likelihood of leaving the EU with a deal.
Along with it the US dollar is supported by optimism around trade negotiations between the US and China and by strong macroeconomic data from the United States. Industrial production in November increased by 1.1% against forecasts of an increase of 0.8% and after a decline of 0.9% a month earlier. The number of building permits in November also exceeded forecasts.
Today you should pay attention to Ifo business optimism index for December and Eurozone inflation data for November.

Brent was supported by yesterday's report from the US Department of Energy. The statistics reflected a decrease in oil reserves by 1 million barrels, while similar data from API a day earlier showed an increase in stocks by 5 million barrels.
The appetite for risky assets remains moderate, as no news has been received from the front of the trade war last days. So, during the day we expect calm trading in the area above $62 per barrel.

The pound became the main outsider of the week, collapsing from the level of 1.35. The driver of the fall became the statements by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, revived fears of a tough and disorganized Brexit.
Additional pressure on the pound was provided by weak data on retail sales in the UK, which showed an unexpected decline in November at the fastest pace for the year (-0.6%). On an annualized basis, retail sales growth slowed to the level of April 2018 (1%).
As a result of weak data reflecting the detrimental influence of Brexit on the British economy, the Bank of England left rates unchanged at 0.75%. Moreover, market participants expect the regulator to begin a cycle of easing monetary policy at the beginning of next year.

EUR/USD. December 23, 2019 – Euro continues to weaken On past Friday the EUR/USD pair fell to the area of 1.1050, reacting to the strengthening of the US dollar in the market and the decline of the EUR/GBP pair (to 0.85). The dollar got support from U.S. GDP data for the III quarter, which showed accelerated growth in the US economy. Gross domestic product increased 2.1% year on year. Additional support was provided by data on income and expenses: in November personal income grew by 0.5% (the forecast was 0.3%). Personal expenses increased by 0.4% (the indicator coincided with the forecast).
At 16:30, you should pay attention to the publication of data on the volume of orders for durable goods in the US in November. Experts expect the figure to drop from 1.5% m/m to 0.6% m/m. Since this indicator is an important leading indicator of production trends and investment activity, these data can put strong pressure on the dollar. At 18:00 no less important publication is expected – a report on the volume of home sales in the primary market in November.
We remind you that tomorrow the exchanges will work on a shortened schedule, and the full-fledged work of the sites will resume on Thursday, after the Christmas holidays. Today, in anticipation of macroeconomic news, the pair will continue to weaken to the area of 1.1060.

Over the past few weeks the «canadian» has shown steady growth, having managed to reach the level of 1.31. The looney strengthened, despite the weak data on retail sales (-1.2% versus 0.5%) and employment (-71.2K against the forecast of 10.0K). However, currency growth was stopped by a strong support level of 1.31.
Experts believe that in the near future it will be difficult for the Canadian dollar to continue to strengthen. The Bank of Canada is still satisfied with the current monetary policy, however, in 2020, the regulator may begin to introduce mitigation measures if Canada's economic indexes continues to deteriorate.

The growth factor was positive news from the front of trade negotiations between the US and China: US President D. Trump said, that the sides had finally approved the first phase of the trade deal. And now they are finalizing and translating the necessary documentation to sign the agreement.
In addition, yesterday the American Petroleum Institute (API) published a report according to which US crude oil inventories fell by almost 8 million barrels per week. Analysts expected a decline of 2 million.
Today we should not expect significant dynamics in the oil market, since most of the European and American sites are closed due to the celebration of Christmas.

The news background is mixed today. On the one hand, the negative dynamics of the debt market is exerting pressure on sterling, where the yield on UK government bonds is declining relative to its counterparts from the USA and Germany.
On the other hand, the rise of oil prices may provide local support to the pound. Brent climbed to a high of $67.50 per barrel after the release of statistics from the American Petroleum Institute, according to which US oil inventories fell four times more than analysts had expected.

EUR/USD. December 27, 2019 – Euro is growing rapidly The euro today confidently approached the level 1,1150. The currency began to strengthen yesterday, responding to the continued optimistic mood of market participants regarding the settlement of the US-Chinese trade conflict. The leaders of the USA and China confirmed that the first phase of the trade deal had already been concluded, and in early 2020 the parties will hold a ceremony of signing the agreement.
The US dollar received some support yesterday after the release of data on the number of initial applications for unemployment benefits. The indicator fell to 222K, which turned out to be slightly better than analysts' forecasts (224K). The previous indicator was fixed at 235K. However, this factor was not enough for the dollar to withstand the rapidly growing euro.
Moreover, amid a probable recovery in global economic growth in 2020, the demand for protective assets may decline, which may put some pressure on the US dollar. Today we will observe the recovery of the European currency from the level of 1,1100 to the area above 1,1150.

EUR/USD. December 30, 2019 – Euro recovered to 1.1200 The European currency continues to win back the losses of the last week, reaching the level of 1.1200. The US dollar is under pressure: on Friday, all G10 currencies and most emerging markets currencies showed growth in tandem with the dollar, and today this trend continues.
Optimism at global sites is fueled by expectations of the imminent signing of the first phase of a trade agreement between the US and China. In anticipation of the New Year, market activity is small, and the news background remains neutral, so the topic of trade negotiations between Washington and Beijing will be the main factor influencing the EUR/USD pair in the near future.
The only thing that you should pay attention to is the secondary data on the American economy: in the evening hours the business activity index (PMI) in Chicago and the business activity index from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas will be published. Experts suggest a slight increase in indicators. If the forecasts are confirmed, the dollar will receive some support and will not allow the euro to gain a foothold above the level of 1.12.

EUR/USD. December 31, 2019 – Euro is confidently approaching 1.1240 The euro continues to grow, breaking the level of 1.1200. Today, in anticipation of the New Year holidays, trading activity will remain low, since most of the world markets will be closed.
Support for the European currency continues to be provided by positive information on the US and China trade deal. Representatives of China reported that the leaders of two countries took a phone talk, and discussed the details of the first part of the trade agreement. It is noted, that the signing of the deal will most likely take place in the first week of January 2020.
Such a decrease in trade tension has a positive effect on the entire global economy, which, in turn, will increase the demand for risky assets and support the «eurobulls» in the near future.

Brent/USD. January 07, 2020 Brent crude on Tuesday shows a correctional decline from the level of $70 per barrel. The current quote of the asset is $68.40.
The focus of the market is still the escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which could turn into the open military confrontation between the US and Iran. This, in turn, may create a shortage of supply on the global oil market due to interruptions in supplies from Iran and Iraq – countries that produce more than 30% of all hydrocarbons in the Middle East region.
Iran’s response to the assassination of Iran’s military leader Qassem Suleimani at Baghdad’s airport will inevitably lead to further intensification of the military conflict, which will allow Brent crude to return to an upward trend above $70 per barrel.
Additional support for oil can be provided by data on changes in oil reserves in the United States from API and the US Department of Energy. Analysts expect a decrease in reserves of 4 million barrels.

USD/CAD. January 08, 2020 – Canadian dollar remains at local highs Oil continues to trade at local highs ($69 per barrel), supporting all commodity currencies, including the Canadian dollar. At the same time, pressure on currencies is exerted by risk aversion amid escalation of the military conflict between the US and Iran. The current CAD quote is 1.3000.
It should be noted that the Canadian dollar is the least vulnerable to risk aversion, since the Canadian economy mainly has support of the US market. This fact allows looney quotes to stabilize in the area of local maximums.
In addition, a further increase in oil prices can completely neutralize the risk aversion factor, an this will allow the USD/CAD pair to continue to decline to 1.3150.

Fundamental analysis of Brent. January 09, 2020 Brent crude oil failed to stay in the region above $70, and today we see quotes decline to around $65.50 per barrel. Pressure on prices was exerted by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East: despite Tehran's attacks on US military bases in Iraq, Donald Trump refrained from further retaliatory measures.
The American president said that he was against further escalation of the military conflict, noting his intention to confine himself to new economic barriers in the form of tougher sanctions against Iran.
In addition to the Middle East conflict, a report from the US Department of Energy on changes in crude oil reserves acted as a factor of pressure on oil prices. According to the latest data, oil reserves rose 1.2 million barrels, after falling for three consecutive weeks. Experts predicted a reduction in reserves of 3.5 million barrels.

EUR/USD. January 10, 2020 – The dollar remains strong at 1.11 The EUR/USD pair remains stable just below 1.1100. The ending week was rich in publications on the American labor market. On Wednesday, data on the number of jobs in the private sector from ADP came out, which reflected an increase of 202 thousand against a growth a month earlier by 124 thousand. The forecast assumed an increase of 140 thousand.
Yesterday, data on the number of applications for unemployment benefits for the week were presented: the number of Americans first applying for benefits fell to a minimum level of 5 weeks. The indicator decreased by 9 thousand – to 214 thousand.
Today, attention should be paid to the release of statistics on the number of jobs outside the agricultural sector (NFP). Experts believe that the indicator grew in December by 266 thousand after an increase of 162 thousand in November. Average hourly wages are expected to increase by 0.2% in monthly terms.
Thus, such strong statistics providing significant support to the US currency will allow the dollar to consolidate below the level of 1.11.

EUR/USD. January 13, 2020 – Dollar is under pressure from weak labor market data The euro is showing some growth at the beginning of the new trading week. The current quotation of the EUR/USD pair is 1.1115. The dollar was pressured last week by the publication of weak US labor market data for December. The number of new jobs outside the agricultural sector last month rose only 145 thousand against the forecast of expansion by 162 thousand. A similar indicator for November was fixed at around 256 thousand.
The average hourly earnings, according to current statistics, increased in December by only 0.1% mom. A month earlier, the indicator rose 0.3% m/m, a similar increase was expected now. At the same time, the unemployment rate remained stable at 3.5%, as predicted.
Thus, the dollar responded with a decline in this data. During the day, we do not expect sharp price spikes; the pair will continue to fluctuate slightly in the region above 1.11.

GBP/USD. January 14, 2020 – Pound weakens since the beginning of the year The British currency stopped its decline at 1.2950 and managed to stabilize below the level of 1.3000. Earlier, weak data on industrial production in the UK put pressure on the sterling exchange rate. According to statistics, the volume of industrial production in the country in November fell by 1.2% on a monthly basis against the growth of 0.4% m/m in October.
Manufacturing output also showed a decline in November – by 1.7% m/m. At the same time, the volume of production in the construction sector recovered after the October fall by 2.2% m/m, showing an increase of 1.9% m/m.
British GDP data also disappointed the markets: the economy slowed down by 0.3% on a monthly basis after rising 0.1% in October. Experts note that such figures reflect the weakest growth rate of the British economic system over the past 7 years.
As a result, the pound fell from 1.33 to 1.30 in just a couple of weeks.

EUR/USD. January 15, 2020 – Euro weakly grows to 1,1150 The pair EUR/USD today is growing moderately to around 1,1150 in anticipation of the signing of the first phase trade agreement between the US and China. It is noted that although the States are still ready to halve 15% duties on Chinese goods worth $120 billion, duties on the remaining $360 billion of Chinese imports will remain at a rate of 25%.
This suggests that the parties failed to reach an agreement on the main trade issues, which could cool the optimism of investors in the future.
Today, the European currency was supported by data on the industrial production of the eurozone. The indicator grew by 0.2% in November, in contrast to the fall of -0.9% in October. Nevertheless, recent data turned out to be worse than analysts' forecasts, expecting an increase of 0.3%. Thus, the EUR/USD pair will continue to grow moderately throughout the day.

EUR/USD. January 16, 2020 – Euro faintly grows amid the results of signing a deal between the US and China Yesterday, the euro showed moderate growth to the level of 1.1160 after signing the first-phase trade agreement between the US and China. The deal obliges China to increase purchases of American goods by $200 billion from the 2017 level, as well as to avoid manipulating the exchange rate and taking additional measures in the issue of protecting intellectual property of American technologies.
The United States, in turn, promised to reduce duties on Chinese goods in the amount of $120 billion from the current 15% to 7.5% and give up duties on the remaining Chinese imports. At the same time, 25% duties on $360 billion will remain unchanged. However, the US President noted that the issue of reducing these tariffs can be considered when discussing the second stage of the transaction. The results of the meeting did not have a significant impact on the dynamics of the EUR/USD pair, although they reduced the overall tension on world sites.
Today, attention should be paid to the publication of the minutes of the ECB meeting and the speech of the head of the European regulator K. Lagarde. As you know, next week there will be a meeting of the European Central Bank, at which the regulator will present a new monetary policy strategy in Europe.
Also today the United States will provide data on changes in retail sales for December and the number of initial applications for unemployment benefits. Moreover, you should pay attention to the NAHB January Housing Market Index.

EUR/USD. January 17, 2020 – Euro is down to 1.11 The Euro moved lower to 1.1100 after the release of data on retail sales in the United States and the business activity index from the Philadelphia Fed. The growth of the first indicator remained at the level of 0.3% m/m, and business activity increased from 2.4 to 17.0.
Together with that, the European currency was pressured today by data on inflation in Europe. The growth rate of consumer prices in the Eurozone accelerated to 1.3%, and in all EU countries – to 1,6%.
An important event that can influence the dynamics of the EUR/USD pair next week will be the ECB meeting. If the regulator's rhetoric turns out to be tougher than at the end of last year, the Euro will receive significant support and will be able to return to the 1.1200 area.

EUR/USD. January 20, 2020 – Euro started to decline again The euro has been declining for the third week in a row. The current quotation of the EUR/USD pair is 1.1080. However, experts believe that soon the European currency will be able to return to the medium-term ascending channel, which started from the beginning of December 2019.
The outflow of capital to the stock market may contribute to the growth of the currency, caused by the decline in tension in trade relations between the US and China after the conclusion of the first phase trade agreement last week.
This week, you should pay attention to the Index of sentiments in the business environment of Germany (01.21). Analysts predict a decline from 10.7 to 4.3 points, which may slightly weaken the euro. On Thursday, the ECB will unveil its decision on the interest rate and hold a press conference with the leadership of the European regulator. On Friday, market attention will be attracted by a series of publications of estimated indicators of business activity both in Germany and in the eurozone as a whole.
Today will be a calm day, as US sites are closed due to the celebration of Martin Luther King National Day.

EUR/USD. January 21, 2020 – Euro strengthens after ZEW data release The euro started to grow again, breaking the 1.1100 mark. Today, amid a large number of reports about the spread of the new coronavirus in China, all risky assets have come under pressure.
During the day, the euro will continue its moderate strengthening, having received support after the publication of the index of economic expectations from ZEW in Germany in January. The indicator unexpectedly increased significantly – to the level of 26.7 points from 10.7. Analysts had expected the index to rise to only 15.0 points. Fresh data peaked since July 2015.

EUR/USD. January 22, 2020 – Euro below 1.11 under the pressure of several factors The US dollar started to rise today, receiving support after the American president's statement about the imminent start of negotiations with China on the second stage of the trade deal. In addition, Trump said that the new budget of the country is planning an amendment to reduce taxes on the middle class, which will be able to support the growth of the American economy. As a result, the EUR/USD pair fell to the level of 1.1075.
Yesterday, however, the Euro made attempts to grow after the publication of the ZEW economic expectations index in Germany, which rose to 26.7 – the highest level since 2015. In addition to pressure from the strengthening dollar, the euro also received a portion of the negativity after another statement by D. Trump. The American president said that the United States can immediately impose duties on imports of European cars and restrictive measures on goods from France, if the parties do not reach a trade agreement in the near future.
Thus, today the European currency will be trading below the level of 1.11.

EUR/USD. February 03, 2020 – The dollar is moving towards 1.1050 Global market sentiment is again taking on a negative connotation due to news about the further spread of the Chinese virus.The number of infections and deaths continues to grow. In an attempt to limit the negative impact of recent events on the country's economy, the People’s Bank of China provided 1.2 billion yuan ($171 billion) in 7 and 14-day repurchase transactions, as well as reduced rates on these instruments. Such actions should provide some support for risky assets.
Quotes of the EUR/USD pair are falling to the level of 1.1050 after rising to almost 1.11. Today, you should pay attention to the statistics block from Europe and the USA, where countries will present data on business activity. The indicator in the eurozone should grow from 46.3 to 47.8, and in the UK – from 47.5 to 49.8 points. In the States, the index should decline from 52.4 to 51.7. At the same time, the dollar may be supported by the publication of the ISM production index – an increase from 47.2 to 48.5 points is expected.
During the day, the dollar will continue to strengthen to the level of 1.1050.

GBP/USD. February 04, 2020 – Sterling collapsed to 1.30 area British sterling crashed into the 1.3000 area yesterday after market participants realized how difficult the period of trade negotiations between Britain and the EU would be. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in his speech said that he would rather agree with the tariffs than with the jurisdiction of the European Court, which once again heated the degree of relations between the parties.
Today, you should pay attention to data on business activity in the services sector and the construction sector in Britain. The country's construction sector is going through hard times due to Brexit, since the EU will not allow London to remain the financial capital of Europe, which significantly reduces the demand for luxury housing and offices. Nevertheless, analysts expect the indicator to rise from 44.4 to 46.2, which may support the pound.
Also, investor interest may be attracted by data on the rate of decline in producer prices: the indicator may slow down from -1.4% to -0.5%.

Yesterday, the number of cases increased by more than 3 thousand people, and the number of deaths approached 500.
The pair EUR/USD is falling on Wednesday to the level of 1.10. The dollar was supported by the comments of US economic adviser L. Kudlow, who noted that China’s trade obligations could be extended over time due to the negative consequences of the outbreak of coronavirus. You should also pay attention to data on business activity in the US services sector in the evening. It is expected that the ISM index in the non-manufacturing sector will remain at a comfortable level near the mark of 55. These statistics will allow the dollar to come close to the level of 1.10.

EUR/USD. February 06, 2020 – Dollar continues to grow The euro halted its fall in the 1.1000 area after China announced a decision to halve import duties on US goods worth about $75 billion to improve trade relations. At the same time, markets ignore the topic of the further spread of the Chinese virus, despite the continuing increase in cases of the disease.
Yesterday, the dollar showed strong growth after the release of data on business activity in the service sector. ISM's Procurement Managers Index for the US non-manufacturing sector rose from 54.9 to 55.5, while the number of jobs created in the private sector of the US economy increased by 291 thousand in January against expectations for growth of 157 thousand.

The number of newly created jobs in the United States increased by 225 thousand, which significantly exceeded the consensus forecast of analysts, suggesting an increase of only 165 thousand.
Today the news background is calm. The dynamics of the pair will be determined mainly by the appearance of news on the situation with coronavirus in China. To date, the number of deaths from the virus continues to grow, as does the number of new cases worldwide. This situation puts strong pressure on the entire range of risky assets.

Fundamental Brent analysis for February 11, 2020 Today, Brent quotes show some growth during the morning trading, although the risks of further decline are still elevated. Oil prices were supported by the comments of the Energy Minister of Kazakhstan that the OPEC+ countries intend to postpone the ministerial meeting from March to the end of February.
Last week, the OPEC+ Technical committee recommended that countries increase oil production by 0.6 million barrels per day in the second quarter of this year amid a decline in demand for raw materials from China. However, OPEC+ member countries have not yet expressed a unified position on this recommendation, which does not allow prices for «black gold» to demonstrate a steady recovery from local lows.
Today, you should pay attention to data from the American Petroleum Institute (API) on US crude oil reserves. Analysts expect an increase in reserves of 3 million barrels. If the forecast is confirmed, pressure on Brent will resume again.

EUR/USD. February 12, 2020 – Euro consolidated at 1.09 lows The sentiment on global sites remains moderately positive in the face of a slowdown in the spread of coronavirus infection around the world. In recent days, experts have noted a decrease in cases of new diseases, which suggests that China's preventive measures have begun to bear fruit.
As a result, the pair's rate stabilized near the level of 1.0900. At the same time, the US dollar remains strong, having received support from yesterday's statement by J. Powell. The head of the US Federal Reserve noted that the US economy remains very stable, and the current monetary policy of the regulator is optimal in the current conditions.
Also, ECB President Christine Lagarde shared her vision of fiscal stimulus yesterday. The politician urged European officials to carefully study the possibilities of stimulating the economy through fiscal policy, since the ECB's zero rates do not really help to achieve the inflation target.
Thus, against this background, the US dollar looks more attractive for purchases. During the day, the pair will fluctuate slightly near the level of 1.09.

GBP/USD. February 13, 2020 – Sterling confidently broke through the level 1,30 The sterling is growing steadily today, breaking the level of 1.30 The pair is under the multidirectional influence of several factors at once. On the one hand, in the credit market, there is a decrease in the yield spread of 10-year UK/US government bonds, which is negative for the British currency.
On the other hand, macroeconomic data from the UK provided some support to the pound. Despite the fact that statistics for the IV quarter of 2019 showed stagnation of the economy, annualized growth was 1.1%. Analysts had expected a slowdown of 0.8%. Industrial production did not grow as much as analysts had expected, but Britain recorded an unexpected trade surplus in December amid a jump in metal exports (0.85B).
Thus, the pound is growing, the main goal of the «bulls» is the area near the level of 1.3050.

The European currency is at the lows of 2017 under the pressure of weak macroeconomic data from Europe and a strong US dollar. The US currency received support from yesterday's inflation data in the United States, which reflected a slight acceleration in consumer prices in January (2.5% y/y versus 2.3% y/y). If today's data on retail sales and industrial production for January indicate the preservation of stable business activity in the US, the dollar will continue to grow to 1.0800.

As a result, the EUR/USD pair is trading at 1.0840, remaining in the area of two-year lows.
Today's news background is calm, and in the week you should pay attention to the macroeconomic data block for January. PMI business activity indices in the European Union and the USA will be published on Friday. If statistics show deterioration, risky assets may again be under pressure.
Today, the pair will be trading primarily in a sideways manner near 1.0840.

An additional influence on investor sentiment was provided by reports that the US plans to limit technology exports to China to restrain Chinese technological development.
The pair EUR/USD remains in weak positions near 1.0830. In the daytime, German ZEW economic expectations and sentiment indices were published. The indicator unexpectedly dropped from 26.7 points to 8.7 points. Analysts had predicted a decline in the index only to around 21.5.

Yesterday, the US dollar managed to grow to 1.3280 after the release of data on business activity in the manufacturing sector of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York: in February the index rose from 4.8 to 12.9 points. Statistics from Canada, on the contrary, reflected a decline in production sales in December by 0.7% m/m after a decline of 1% m/m last month.
However, today Canadian dollar began to grow in anticipation of data on the consumer price index of Canada, which will be published today in the evening. Experts expect annual inflation to rise to 2.3% in January against growth to 2.2% in December. If the forecast is confirmed, the likelihood that the Bank of Canada will decide to mitigate monetary policy will decrease significantly, and the Canadian dollar will receive an incentive for further growth.

EUR/USD. February 21, 2020 – Dollar continues to strengthen Negative sentiment at global sites has been rising again due to a sharp increase in the number of coronavirus infected in South Korea. At the same time, the markets continue to trend towards the strengthening of the US dollar, which is growing in tandem with the main currency competitors.
Yesterday, the Philadelphia Fed index of business activity was published, which rose sharply to 36.7 points. Positive regional data give reason to expect an increase in the ISM business activity index for the United States as a whole, which supports the dollar.
Statistics on business activity in Europe were published today. The index of business activity in the manufacturing sector (PMI) in Germany increased from the level of 45.3 to 47.8 points. Experts predicted a decline to 44.8. The IHS Markit composite purchasing managers' index (PMI) in France also rose – to 51.9 points in February from 51.1 in January. Analysts predicted a value of 51.0 points.
However, these statistics provided the euro only temporary support – the pair managed to rise slightly above the 1.08 level, but the growth was quickly replaced by a decline. During the day, the euro will continue to fall to an area below 1.08.

Northern Italy became the new epicenter of the outbreak, where more than 200 cases of the disease are currently recorded. This situation puts pressure on the European currency, since the further spread of the disease can lead to a significant decrease in the GDP of European countries in the future.
The pair EUR/USD continues to move in the range of 1.08-1.09. The current euro quote is 1.0830. Yesterday, the currency rose significantly after the German business climate index IFO was released: the indicator unexpectedly rose to 96.1 points, while analysts expected a decline to 95.3.

Yesterday, US President Donald Trump announced that the vaccine against the virus would be ready soon, and also announced the upcoming cut in taxes on the middle class in the United States, but this news did not support the dollar. The current quotation of the pair is 1.0870.
The euro has been strengthening for several days. Currency is supported by technical factors: most carry trade operations in emerging markets are funded by the euro, which is strengthened when investors withdraw from risky assets.
However, the coronavirus continues to spread throughout Europe, which puts European currency at risk. During the day, we expect a decrease in the euro from the level of 1.09.
