Last week Jameel Ahmad, Chief Market Analyst at ForexTime (FXTM), visited our office in Barcelona and we conducted a special edition of our Conversations with Forex Experts with him.
Jameel predicts slow motion on the Fed rate hike pace and weighs the probable effects of a Greek deal: “other anti-austerity parties may want to run at politics and negotiate their own bailout programs”. He also limits the EURUSD upside to USD weakness.
The conversation brings us to the Aussie: “RBA's rate cut was the second biggest surprising move this year behind the SNB peg, and they will probably cut rates again this year”, forecasts Jameel. He also gives the long-term prospects on the GBPUSD and USDJPY and spots a key support level on the oil prices that, if taken, may awake some bears.
