London Session
Mon, Sep 22 2008, 14:54 GMT
by Forex.com Research Desk
The greenback trended lower in the London session as the implications from the US government's $700 billion (so far) rescue plan continue to be weighed. Concerns as to what this means for the US budget deficit (wider) and short-term interest rates (possibly lower) have most investors selling the currency. This concern is also leading to resurgence in commodity prices, as investors buy them as a hedge against dollar depreciation. Oil jumped another $2 to just under the $108 mark after having been solidly below $95 just a week ago.
EUR/USD was up more than 80 pips in the session towards a close near the 1.4575/80 zone. The pair managed to squeak above the 1.46 mark briefly but retreated. This level is likely to provide decent resistance in the NY session. GBP/USD rocketed more than 130 pips higher into the 1.8430/35 area. USD/JPY meanwhile traded roughly -30 pips lower towards a 106.30 close, as US stocks reflect on the bailout package and what it means for potential credit paper write-downs -- and that reflection is decidedly lower. USD/CAD was punished on the higher oil prices and Loonie fell into the 1.0435/40 area at the close of London trading.
The only piece of economic data out in NY trading is Canadian retail sales. The market looks for a modest 0.2% increase in the headline number and a 0.4% jump excluding autos. Better than expected results should see USD/CAD lower, back towards the 1.0430/00 zone. Otherwise, traders will be focused on equity markets again and any news regarding the credit market bailout. It feels like the start of another turbulent week. Good luck!
