Week Ahead: NFP, Polls Gain Traction and European Covid Cases In Focus
August 29, 2020 6:36 AM

EUR/USD is $1.20 coming?
EUR/USD managed to climb 0.9% across the week with most gains booked on Friday thanks to the Fed weakened USD. However, with covid cases under the spotlight, any spike in numbers particularly as schools return could hit sentiment. On the economic calendar PMI’s and GDP updates will dominate. German retail sales and factory orders will also be carefully monitored. Recent data from the Eurozone’s largest economy has indicted that the economic recovery is on track, investors will be keen to see that is still the case.

Whilst the USD spiralled lower the Japanese yen soared significantly versus the greenback following the resignation of Shinzo Abe. Japan’s longest serving Prime Minister announced that he is stepping down owing to health reasons. Concerns over a move away from Abenoimcs, the county’s expansionary economic policy is driving demand for the safe haven. Developments surrounding his successor will continue to influence the Yen across the coming week.

AUD/USD surged to an 18-month high after rallying 2.8% across the week following Jerome Powell’s announcement. Rallying stock markets, iron ore and gold have all underpinned the Aussie Dollar, as did progress in the US – China Phase 1 trade talks. Covid numbers in Victoria are also trending lower bringing optimism that the 2nd wave is on its way out.

The US Dollar was sent lower by the Fed. Data was decidedly mixed. US GDP was revised upwards to -31.7% contraction and new home sales soared to a 13 year high. On the other hand continuing claims remained stubbornly high at 14.5 million and consumer confidence fell to a new pandemic low.

September 25, 2020 3:53 AM

The USD/CHF gained 29 pips to 0.9269 making it the big gainer on the day. Although there was not much action in the session the USDCHF has done an impressive reversal. The pair finally broke away from its short-term consolidation between 0.899 and 0.9185. We have been watching for a break of the rectangle pattern for quite some time. 0.9185 has now become key support in the rebound. Look for a continuation higher towards targets of 0.9375 and 0.9515 in extension.
