GBP Loses to USD & JPY, Gains on EUR

The Great Britain pound declined today against the US dollar and the Japanese yen after the data confirmed the contraction of economy in the last quarter. At the same, time the currency rose versus the euro, which was hard-pressed by the problems in the eurozone. Britain’s gross domestic product fell 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 according the final revision. It was unchanged from the previous estimates. On top of that, the annual growth was revised down by 0.1 […]

Europe’s Woes Make Chilean Peso Less Attractive

The Chilean pesos declined today as problems of various countries of the European Union left Forex traders unwilling to risk, driving them to currencies that offer higher safety. The last month’s election in Italy created a political deadlock and the country will have a hard time to deal with its problems without a strong government. Cyprus’s banks will be opened tomorrow and there is fear that depositors will try to withdraw their […]

Brazilian Real Rises, Erases Gains Later

The Brazilian real fell today for seventh session, erasing the previous gains, even amid signs that the central bank is ready to intervene, preventing the currency’s losses. The real rallied initially after the Central Bank of Brazil offered foreign-exchange swaps to rein the currency’s drop. The rally did not hold for long and the real retreated as of now. Deputy Finance Minister Nelson Barbosa said yesterday that there is no concern for inflation, […]

Euro is dropping rapidly against most of its major counterparts. With the uncertainty over Cyprus, and with Italy once again with its back to the wall, trouble is looming for the 17-nation currency. The risk of capital flight is weighing on the euro today, and the 17-nation currency is heading to four-month lows against the US dollar as a result. While the euro attempted a rally earlier, that is all but gone now. Concerns […]

Canadian Dollar Surges against European Currencies

Canadian dollar is surging against its European counterparts today, heading higher as the latest news on the economy helps the loonie. However, the Canadian dollar has fallen against the US dollar as uncertainty returns to the markets. Once again, it’s a time of confusion for Forex traders. Earlier, the Canadian dollar struggled, but the latest news from Statistics Canada, showing that consumer prices rose 1.2 per cent in February, is helping […]

EUR/USD Returns to Free-Fall

EUR/USD recovered yesterday after the initial loss, but returned to a free fall today. Italy is unable to form a coalition government, adding to worries caused by the situation in Cyprus. This day was not particularly interesting in terms of data from the United States. Tomorrow, the last revision of the fourth quarter gross domestic product will be released and this report might make a strong impact on the Forex market. Pending home sales […]
