Bobbys Corner-Open Market-July.27.2010

bob-slade-forex-trading-4-150x200Good Morning:

It was a choppy active overnight session-as EUR/USD traded either side of 1.30-but finally settled into the mid 1.30s.  GBP/USD also bounced around the 1.55 level.
The JPY and CHF were lower as evidence that the global recovery is gaining traction led investors to seek higher-yielding assets.
Today’s report on US Consumer Confidence is expected to be lower than last month-showing that US consumer’s are not ready to open their wallets all the way yet.  There is still concern about jobs, uncontrollable deficit spending along with the potential for increased taxes. All these obstacles are weighing heavily on the US consumer.

Asian equity markets were mixed-Europe is higher-and US Futures are up at this time.

Loonie Finding Some Support Around 1.0306

Posted: 27 Jul 2010 12:34 AM PDT

The USD/CAD pair is testing the 1.0306 level for the second time this trading session with the low being 1.0302. As shown on the 4 hour chart below, 1.0306 was a level of support several times from July 9th to July 15th. If support holds, the target to the upside is 1.0348; the 23.6% fibo line on the move from the July 21st high to yesterday’s low. However, if the pair can close below this level it may be a bearish signal that the pair will trade lower..
