Market Review – Fundamental Perspective
Angela Merkel the German Chancellor addresses the euro region’s fragility and the need for governments to respect debt and deficit limits on the 12th of July during a campaign rally for her Christian Democratic Union. This warning was a message to France and Italy whom aimed for a softening in euro-area rules, and was a reaction to the turmoil in global markets caused by Banco Esperito Santo SA which has been lowered in its long-term credit rating after a parent company missed payments on commercial papers.
The European Central Bank president’s, Mario Draghi, newest economic stimulus tool will offer banks more than 700 billion euros of cheap lending. This liquidity providing measure is part of the so-called TLTRO program which aim to offer cheap funding to the european bank sector within a four years program. This seem to be a good signal for the euro area, by offering cheap liquidity on the short-run and aiming on increasing inflation on a long-run. Global markets consider this measure being a positive stimulus for the euro-area.
The Japanese Yen was weaker on Monday as a result of the Bank of Japans monetary policy meeting. The USD/JPY traded at 101.38 which marks an increase of 0,02%.

Daily Technical Analysis
USD/TRY (1 Hours)
After a bull trend that started in the beginning of July, this currency pair entered a bear movement right after reaching the resistance line at 2.14165. Facing a high volatility, the downward trend seem to continue, almost reaching the support line at 2.11733. The Fibonacci- Fan might strengthen this hypothese with the support line being crossed. Finally the MACD does not suggest an oversold market which might indicate that the trend can still continue.
