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

Early US election results show that the Republicans took control over the House of Representatives, made gains in the Senate, and in various state houses.

We will wait and see what the shift of power in the House of Representatives will mean to the average American, but for certain, this was a call to the administration that the voters are not happy with the current “State of the Union”. 

The USD weakened a bit as investors flocked to higher-yielding currencies ahead of today’s Fed announcement.
Speculation that the Fed will start to purchase bonds again to spur the economy, is widely anticipated.
Japan was on holiday last night, so the Asian session was extremely quiet
GBP rose on the heels of positive UK PMI data.

All eyes will be on the Fed announcement this afternoon at 2:15 PM (EST) . 

Worldwide equity markets were higher-as are US Futures.

NY Opening Forex Commentary:Election over. FOMC and other data ahead

Posted: 03 Nov 2010 04:56 AM PDT

The EURUSD fell through the 1.4004-10 support but found support against the 38.2% retracement of the trend move up from yesterday.  This gave the bulls another opportunity to buy and they took the price up to the highs from yesterday.  As NY enters the support will be eyed at the 100 and 200 hour MAs at the 1.4026. 

The GBPUSD was boosted by the better than expected PMI Services.  The pair moved to new highs for the week at the 1.6088 level and the high price from Ocotber at 1.6106. These levels will be support for today.

The USDJPY developed a solid floor near the 80.60 level and moved higher toward the 80.84-88 resistance level.   A move above will next target resistance at the 200 hour MA at the 80.97 level.  Watch for support at the 100 hour MA at the 80.70 level
