US Session Bullet Report – USD Sell-Off, Yellen Talk Ahead
It is a very volatile session in the EU today. EUR/USD spiked to 1.1250 highs following a break of the 1.1215 resistance level. Once again European indices are feeling the heat with German DAX trading -2% today which helped spark the EUR/USD rally. On the other hand GBP/USD and AUD/USD are being sold off relentlessly. USD/JPY is also under pressure (-0.74% on the day) so the combination of GBP weakness and JPY strength caused a collapse in GBP/JPY for the third straight day. Notable mover of the day though is USDCAD (+0.64%) which is posting multi year highs, last trading at 1.3413.
Fed’s Janet Yellen Speaks tonight, and she will have the opportunity to provide more clarity as to the future policy of the FED, something that she failed to do last week during the press conference. Her talk will be closely watched and will set the stage for further direction, at least for all USD denominated pairs.
Trading quote of the day:
“In this business if you’re good, you’re right six times out of ten. You’re never going to be right nine times out of ten.”
