Good morning from beautiful Hamburg and welcome to our latest Daily FX Report. Deutsche Bank is studying the potential impact of Britain’s exit from the European Union on the firm’s business in the country and weighing options that may include moving activities to its home nation. Germany’s biggest bank this month formed a working group that comprises senior executives from Deutsche Bank’s strategy, risk and U.K. management teams, a spokesman for the lender said late Monday. Prime Minister David Cameron, whose Conservative Party won a surprise majority in the Mai 7 election, has promised a referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017. Deutsche Bank has had a presence in Britain since 1873 and employs 9,000 people in the country.

Anyway, we wish you a successful trading day!


Market Review – Fundamental Perspective

The United States dollar jumped from a four-month low on speculation that the U.S. economy will rebound from a sluggish first quarter. The major currency climbed by the most in five weeks, snapping a four-day loss against the euro, before the release of U.S. housing and manufacturing data later this week. Improving indicators would bolster the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interst reates for the first time in more than a decade. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which tracks the greenback versus 10 major trading partners, rose 0.9 percent to 1,160.14 as of 5 p.m. in New York. The index had fallen for the past five weeks, its longest decline since October 2013. The U.S. currency rose 1.2 percent to $1.1315 per euro, reaching the biggest gain since April 9. It climbed 0.6 percent to 119.99 yen. The Fed will release minutes of April’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting on Wednesday, which may include clues about when the central bank may increase interest rates for the first time since 2006. The greenback rose 21 percent from July to April on speculation the Federal Reserve was moving closer to raising borrowing costs, contrasting with the European Central Bank and other global counterparts that were easing policy. Since then, the U.S. currency has shed 5.1 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average topped its all-time high Monday, adding 0.2 percent to 18,298.88, above a March 2 record. The S&P 500 fell as much as 1.8 percent from its April 24 record through May 6, before rallying 1.1 percent on Thursday to close at a fresh high. Gains Friday gave the gauge its first back-to-back weekly advances since April 10.
