Rumored Bailout for Greece Supports Euro

Apr 30, 2010 in Grow Financially, Investment Protection, Opportunities

The dollar closed mixed versus its counterparts on Friday. Greek default risks eased and reports showed that federal prosecutors are weighing criminal fraud charges against Goldman Sachs. US Q1 2010 GDP rose at a 3.2% annualized pace, in line with expectations. Stronger-than-expected private consumption and business investment bode well for future economic growth. The S&P 500 plunged 20.09 to 1,186.69 on weaknesses in financial and technology stocks. Goldman Sachs fell over 9%. The euro surged on speculation of a bailout plan for Greece over the weekend. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso issued assurances that a deal will be finalized “very soon, meaning, in the next days.” We believe an EU decision may not be made before the German local election. Sterling was pressured by UK election uncertainty. The aussie rose as Australia’s credit expanded. The Canadian dollar fell as Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney indicated the strong loonie may delay interest-rate hikes.

USDJPY: Signs Of Price Exhaustion On The Horizon

Apr 30, 2010 in Grow Financially, Investment Protection, Opportunities

USDJPY preserves most of its recovery gains activated from the 84.80 level, its Nov’10 low but its weekly and daily price charts show some forms of price exhaustion as the week ended on Friday. The weekly chart (not shown here) shows the inability (ahead of key resistance) of the pair to follow through higher on its previous week strength to close lower for the week at 93.86 on Friday. This can be clearly seen on the daily chart through its negative higher level price rejection candle printed at the end of Friday session.
