Forex market players are at a loss and always looking for fresh ideas to start a new trend of movement. Previously, attention was focused on trading the euro, but the macroeconomic statistics for the euro area in recent times looks very worthy, so the reason for the aggressive sales of the single currency there. This week already consolidated in a narrow range 1,26-1,275 dollars / euros. In principle, the mood of the players in this pair is "bearish," but to launch an attack on the currency of the Old World need a reason, but its still no. On Wednesday, August 1, the euro was valued at 1.2705 dollars, and investors have experienced modest appetite for risk.
Approximately similar way the situation is in a pair of dollar / yen - players tend to delete the course of American currency. All anything, but strengthen the yen against the Japanese central bank act, which periodically organizes verbal intervention in the markets. As a result of vapor hung over the level of 84 yen to the dollar. And, despite the players a great desire "squandered" her, they are still afraid of drastic measures of the Central Bank of Japan. At 9:00 Moscow time pair dollar / yen was trading near the mark of 84.35.
At the same time, we can not say that investors have nothing to play. The currency, which succumbed to the onslaught of very aggressive in recent years "bears", became the British pound. He declines against the dollar, despite the good statistics for the euro area and bad for the U.S., the Japanese Central Bank intervention and other market factors. Since early August, the pound has lost six figures (ie 600 points) relative to the U.S. currency. And despite the fact that on Wednesday the pair observed upward correction, most likely with the opening in Europe again to start the sale of British currency.
