Again, EUR/CHF moved under 1.5100 and jumped up 80 pips in 15 minutes, while dragging USD/CHF from 1.0170 to 1.0230; Euro feel the movement and dropp quickly to test the 1.4800 area. If this gives up, look for the 1.4770 area there! Swissy should move above 1.0230 to test the 1.0285 level.

Hi Ferdous, and tks for your comment. Regardin what happened with Swissy, the Switzeland National Bank, had been complaining hard about the strong appreciation of their currency harming the economic recovery and exports. They had already get into the markets to low the price of the currency several times since past March. They watch particular EUR/CHF: they tend to act when the pair breaks under 1.5100 exactly what happened today. Regarding GDP, for at least 1 year, U.S. data has been affecting the currency in an inverse correlation: good data in America trigger optimism across the world on a stronger economic recovery, sending stocks higher and currencies like AUD, CAD, NZD, EUR, GBP, CHF higher while dollar lower. On the contrary, bad U.S. data trigger risk aversion, fears of more crisis to come, stocks sunk and dollar rise. Watch the indexes and you will understand what’s going on.
Hope you understand, if not, feel free to ask again!

Thanks a lot.
So the Summery is
(1)Switzeland National Bank does’nt want to their currency to become stronger because it harms their economic recovery and exports.
In Case of USD usually it is:
(1)Good US Data means USD Weaker(DOW Jones, S&P, Nasaq High)
(2)Bad US Data means USD Stronger(Dow Jones,S&P & Nasaq Low)
If I am wrong please correct me when you find time.
Thanks

Another thing I have noticed that when USD Strong, then JPY become stronger than USD.
As a result USD/JPY Falls with EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD
Hi Ferdous, yes that’s the idea, yet remember is not a 100% sure LAW. Nothing in here is 100% sure ;). And this is going on since crisis started.. in the past, and in some unseen future, things are exactly the opposite.
And regarding JPY, is the second save haven currency, after USD. so in uncertainty times, both tend to appreciate togheter, with USD/JPY falling quickly.

Val
Again Thanks a lot for your Experienced Opinion.
