Here is the technical perspective for the cross:

Hi everyone and welcome back! G7 surprise (or maybe not, but at least surprise me) by changing their all time lack of commitment, expressing their support to BOJ intervention, stating that authorities should stay away from markets, “except in case of emergency”; yen lose big against major rivals, sending Euro to fresh yearly highs against greenback above 1.4130. 

Still seems those are already old news; I’m reading a local newspaper announcing France has stated that the attacks against Libyaauthorized by the UN, will start “in a few hours” with Canada, Denmark and Norway among the countries that will second the military operation. Germany is still reluctant, and states that this resolution is considerably risky.

Market has not needed too much lately either to change intraday directions or jump among wild ranges. Keep an eye on news, and in stocks.

We have no fundamental data schedule for the rest of the day, so will start now with the technical perspectives.

Have a great trading day!

Here is my first choice for today:

Hi everyone and welcome back. Where to start today! Past Asian session saw market turned wild on Sydney opening, with safe havens CHF and JPY adding 200/300 pips in less than an hour against greenback, and hiting record highs against the American currency; risk environment, along with low volume at that time of the day, sent USD/CHF to 0.8860 and USD/JPY to 76.25; commodity currencies also slump while EUR and GBP managed to hold above key supports against dollar, 1.3860 and 1.5970 price zones.

Stocks and commodities settle down after the ride, and are quite positive intraday, favoring a dollar slide across the board with EUR/USD reaching 1.4050 fresh yearly high, and GBP/USD hitting 1.6160. If there is a time, when market is not easy to read, this is it; short term rallies are quickly reversed by market sentiment, and wide intraday ranges suggest traders will need a lot of patient and less leverage if they want to catch some pips. Indeed, not my favorite days; anyway, and despite market is paying little attention to fundamental data, here is the link for today’s calendar:

Have a great day!

 Hi everyone and welcome back to this blog. Risk of course, keeps ruling markets despite pressured eased a bit over the Asian session, after the BOJ poured another 3.5 trillion yen into the economy, adding to the 23 pumped in the aftermath of the earthquake, giving Nikkei a breath after the index lost around 16% in the first 2 days of the week.

Early morning, news come out mixed, as yet another downgrade in the euro zone, this time for Portugal, as Moody credit rating agency cut from A1 to A3 on long-term government bonds; U.K. unemployment claims fell in February by the most in eight months, adding to recent signs that the economy may be recovering.

Stocks are slightly positive as well as commodities, but yen and swissy hold recent strength with both currencies near all time highs against greenback, suggesting risk is still present, and investors won’t be looking for riskier assets.

Anyway, let’s take a look at the technicals; here is the link for today’s calendar:
