British Pound Rises As BoE Leaves Interest Rates, QE Unchanged
The British pound is rising against many of its currency rivals on Thursday after the central bank left interest rates and its aggressive asset-buying program unchanged. But while the decision to hold things steady was widely expected, many analysts are combing through the Bank of England (BoE) headâs remarks that subzero interest rates are in the institutionâs âtoolbox.â During the August policy meeting on Thursday, the BoE voted unanimously […]

Bulls on GBP/CAD Stopped by the Same 1.7565 Resistance Level?
The Great Britain pound versus the Canadian dollar currency pair dropped after a new attempt to conquer 1.7567 seems to have failed. Long-term perspective The rally from the 1.6542 low, after the 1.6724 level was confirmed as support back in March 2020, managed to extend until the 1.7567 resistance level. But out of the three attempts to overcome the level, none succeeded, as the bulls were only able to stretch the price until the 1.7705 intermediary […]

The Canadian dollar today rallied against its US peer as oil prices hit new multi-month highs before giving up its gains and heading lower.

The USD/CAD currency pair today fell from an opening high of 1.3308 to a low of 1.3233 before reversing and rallying almost to its […]

Sterling Gets Help from Strong Rebound in Services, Rally of Stocks
The Great Britain pound demonstrated a decent performance during Wednesday’s trading session, even though it was not among the strongest currencies on the Forex market.

Euro Strong, Propelled by Domestic & US Macroeconomic Data
The euro was among the strongest currencies on the Forex market today, trading about flat against the Swiss franc and the Australian dollar, while rising versus other most-traded currencies. The currency got a boost from the recovery of the European services industries, though the weakness of the US dollar after an extremely disappointing employment report also helped the shared 19-nation currency.

Chinese Yuan Strengthens to Five-Month High Despite Disappointing PMI
The Chinese yuan is strengthening against the US dollar midweek, despite disappointing economic data. The yuan has been gaining momentum against the greenback, primarily due to the rebounding economy and the buck languishing in recent weeks.

Australian Dollar Strongest amid Positive Market Sentiment
The Australian dollar rose against a basket of most-traded currencies, including the New Zealand dollar, which itself was very strong. The likely reason for the Aussie’s strong performance was the positive market sentiment caused by a rally of US and European stocks. Domestic macroeconomic data was also helpful to the currency, while disappointing data from China, Australia’s biggest trading partner, did not have a material impact on the Australian currency. The Commonwealth Bank […]

NZ Dollar Rises After Employment Report Surprises Positively
The New Zealand dollar rallied today, though it has trimmed gains against some of its rivals by now. The catalyst for the rally was the release of surprisingly good domestic employment data. Statistics New Zealand reported that the number of employed people decreased by 0.4% in the June quarter. While not a good figure by itself, the drop was nowhere near 2.0% predicted by specialists. On top of that, the previous quarter’s increase got a positive […]

Bulls on AUD/NZD Determined to Conquer 1.0826
The Australian versus the New Zealand dollar currency pair is in a steady appreciation. Will this be enough to pass the important 1.0826 resistance level? Long-term perspective The rally that started at the 0.9991 low extended to the 1.0880 high. From there, a consolidation phase came into being, one that unvalidated the 1.0707 support level and sent the price very close to the firm 1.0551 level — see the 1.0582 and 1.0566 lows. However, the bulls […]
