Daily Trading Forecast

Confidence Restored?

With the world’s leaders now willing to act on a global basis to resurrect the financial system, the confidence at least in banks is coming back. Confidence in the economy, of course, is entirely another thing, where the global slowdown already took place and is expected to continue. For Forex markets, at least the scarce liquidity in dollars seems to be improving now, giving the Greenback room to correct its long-term overbought situation.

For today’s trading, we expect this downward correction in the dollar to continue, with the euro benefitting from the fact that the Eurozone leaders are now acting decisively together in their fight to quell their financial fires. There are no scheduled data releases today known as market movers.
