FOREX QUICK: EUR/USD JULY 26 2010 LONG TERM

bob-slade-forex-2-150x200Good Morning:

The JPY  rose as it benefited from a pick  up in risk aversion from the markets in general.  GBP stayed strong after Friday’s better than expected growth data, moving the pair into the 1.55 handle.
The euro stayed firm after Friday’s stress test results from the regions banks.  Only 7 out of 91 banks tested are in need of obtaining additional capital.

Asian equity markets were higher-European markets have given up earlier gains and are now in negative territory.
US Futures are also lower at this time.

Even with the results from the Euro Zone’s bank stress test being better than expected-the concern that global economic growth is slowing is going to weigh heavily on the markets.  Concerns that continued weak data out of the US will drive investors to look for alternative regions to invest in.

Usd/Jpy below 200 hour M/A

Posted: 26 Jul 2010 12:50 AM PDT

Usd/Jpy has been under some pressure the last couple of  hours and has pushed below its 200 hour M/A of  87.30. If it holds below the pair should test its 100 hour M/A at 87.08. More support can be found at 86.74, an area of past hourly lows. If the pair holds a  move back up to 87.67 is likely.

Once bearish financial institutions turn into Euro bulls

Posted: 25 Jul 2010 11:40 PM PDT

Many financial institutions have been raising there outlook on the Eur/Usd.

BNP Paribas scaled back its forecast for a decline in the euro on July 23, saying it will fall to $1.12 in the first quarter, from a previous prediction of parity.

Wells Fargo raised its six-month euro forecast to $1.24 from $1.20 citing the main positives for the euro have been stronger-than- expected euro economic numbers and a recovery in risk appetite.

Weaker U.S growth forecasts have added to the recent strength of the Eur/Usd pair as seen by Golman Sachs who reversed there outlook on the pair twice in 2 months. The New York- based bank says the shared currency will reach $1.22 in three months, $1.35 in six months and $1.38 in a year.

The euro bears turning bullish, only time will tell if they are correct.
