Bobbys Corner-Open Market-Sept.20.2010

Posted: 20 Sep 2010 05:17 AM PDT

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

The USD continued to stay weak as we start a new trading week.
Today-we have US data on confidence among US home-builders.  Estimates that the index will stay at a 17 month low is giving markets participants renewed evidence that the US economic recovery continues to stumble.
The USD also lost ground as investors speculate that after tomorrow’s FOMC meeting the Fed will be looking for further ways to keep interest rates low.  As the economy continues to move forward at an anemic pace-the Fed will need to continue with it’s present policy of keeping borrowing costs low, along with additional measures to spur on the economic recovery.

Equity markets were higher (Tokyo closed last night for elders day) .  US Futures are also pointing to a higher opening this morning.
Gold rallied to a new record high, and cotton reached a 15 year high.

Gbp/Usd testing 100 hour M/A to downside

Posted: 20 Sep 2010 02:32 AM PDT

Gbp/Usd is threatening to break below its 100 hour M/A of 1.5584. For added support the 38.2% fibo of move up from 1.5346 to 1.5742 lies at 1.5581. The pair may be hard pressed to break through this first time down. If it does 1.5535-40 would be next support area. If the pair hold a move back to 1.5640-45 is likely.

UK Mortgage Approvals lowest in 16 months

Posted: 20 Sep 2010 01:34 AM PDT

UK Mortgage Approvals came in at 45,000, weake rthan the 46,000 expected and prior reading of 47,000.

This is the lowest reading in 16 months.

Gbp/Usd is off on the heels of news, currently trading at 1.5620. Eur/Gbp is at session high of .8386.

Eur/Usd ticking higher

Posted: 20 Sep 2010 12:22 AM PDT

Eur/Usd has been ticking higher in recent trade. A look at the daily chart for the pair shows it is firmly above the 61.8% fibo retracement (1.2992) of move down from 1.3691 to 1.1861. The next level of daily resistance comes at the 200 day M/A of 1.3228. A test seems likely.

The aforementioned 61.8% level of 1.2992 should act as support to the downside.
