11.6 month supply vs 12.5 months.
Median Sale price fell to $178,600 from $182,100

The better data and the rejection above at the 1.3360 level keeps the correction lower alive for the EURUSD

Nope… EURUSD back above resistance at 1.3360

The market does not have the will to buy the dollar in the face of weaker Initial Claims and in front of Existing Home sales.

EURUSD corrects after 10 day rally and 800 pips

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 05:41 AM PDT

The EURUSD corrects after 10 day rally and 800 pips. The bias remains to the downside today as long as the price stays below the 1.3360 area where the 100 bar MA on the 5 minute chart is found. If so, I expect further profit taking.

Bobbys Corner-Open Market-Sept.23.2010

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 04:52 AM PDT

bob-slade-forex-trading-3-150x200Good Morning:

Today is the first (full) day of Fall. 

The Euro lost some steam in overnight trading-as data showed that Europe’s services and manufacturing sectors declined-thus adding to speculation that the Euro Zone’s economic recovery seems to be faltering.  Data from the UK  showed continued weakness in the housing market-but the GBP did not lose much momentum.
Today we have data on the US housing sector-and analysts expect an increase over July-but it will be the weakest number in a decade.  Initial jobless claims are expected to stay flat from last weeks data (see below)

World equity markets are mostly lower-as reports of slowing growth in global economies have added a bit of fear in the marketplace.
US Futures are also lower at this time.

British Bankers Association Mortgage Approvals

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 01:38 AM PDT

BBA Mortgage Approvals came in at 31,800, weaker than the 32,300 expected and prior reading of 34,200.

No major market reaction to number as Gbp/Usd trades at 1.5645.

BoE Chief economist Dale on the wires

*U.K. decision to cut deficit is correct

* banks can’t lend yet

* need sustained growth for normal order levels
