Yen and Oil Driving Forex Markets

Posted 08-21-2008 at 05:02 AM by ActionForex.com (Action Insight)
Dollar is broadly weaker as the day goes, led by selling in USD/JPY and pressured by strong rebound in oil prices to above $116 level. . Reactions in other dollar majors are so far mild as Euro and Sterling are both pressured in respective yen crosses. As mentioned earlier this week, risk aversion seems to be a stronger theme in the markets comparing to volatility in commodity prices and such bias is still in force as seen in today's price actions so far. In addition to worry on US credit market losses, markets are concerned with slowdown in the Eurozone economy and deeper recession in UK.

USDCAD traded in range between 1.0543 and 1.0727

Posted 08-20-2008 at 09:02 PM by ForexCycle.com (Free Forex Market Analysis)
USDCAD traded in range between 1.0543 and 1.0727 for several days. Breaking about this range is expected in a couple of days. One more rise towards 1.1000 would more likely be seen, and rise above 1.0668 will signal resumption of up trend. Only fall below 1.0543 will indicate the the up trend from 0.9974 (July 15 low) has completed.
