Forex Weekly Overview

In the last week we witnessed a major change in the sentiment on the
forex. After numerous attempts the euro broke through the psychological
1,60 USD level, scoring the new record at 1,6018. However, the market
clearly was not certain if yet another wave of the dollar depreciation
could be possible and what how monetary authorities could respond to
it. The EURUSD didn’t manage to stay above the 1,60 threshold and this
was the major reason for the correction. Later in the week the US
currency was supported by earnings results which were better on
average, as well as the macroeconomic data, especially unexpectedly low
Ifo in Germany and a drop in initial claims in the US. The euro was
1,5% down on the week and more than 2,5% down from its peak, while the
Swiss frank lost over 1,5% and the Japanese yen 0,6%. The coming week
will show how strong the correction can be with the US advanced GDP for
the 1st quarter, the Fed decision and energy giants’ results as main
drivers. Falling EURUSD also sparked a noticeable sell off on the
Polish market. The zloty was down almost 2% to the dollar and 0,3% to
the euro on the whole week after scoring a multiyear high to the USD
late on Tuesday. While the end of coming week should be very calm due
to the holiday on Thursday, investors are awaiting the MPC decision
before. This time, we expect the rates to remain unchanged.
