Market Brief / 16 - 01 - 2018

Thank You For Your Support and For
Honoring Me With Your Up Vote..

US markets were closed Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. US dollar showed further weakness in face of a rallying euro.

EUR/USD posted its third day of solid gains against the dollar, lifted by progress on a governing alliance in Germany and hints the ECB may soon phase out its giant bond-buying program.

RSI stands firmly above its neutrality level at 50. Above 1.2230, look for a new advance with target at 1.2345. Alternatively, below 1.2230, expect a return with 1.2155 as target.

For the first time since the Brexit vote in June 2016, the British pound jumped across the US$ 1.3800 level touching US$1.3819.

On the data slate there’s German Wholesale Price Index; German CPI; UK Retail Price Index; UK House Price Index; UK PPI; UK CPI; US Empire State manufacturing Index; US 4-Week Bill Auction; US 3- and 6-Month Bill Auctions and Switzerland SNB Chairman Jordan Speech.
