There is nothing to really trade today as European& UK newsflow is quiet, with very little on the calendar to finish the week.Also US markets are closed for Independence Day, likely to keep newsflow and trading volumes very light.
However, here is a brief catch up on which currencies I’m looking at trading in the longer term and why.
The GBP is currently a very bullish currency that is being driven by speculation of a interest rate hike from the Bank of England by the end of 2014, I’m looking for a nice sell off on GBP/USD in order to start buying it back,good levels of support are around 1.7000 to 1.6800 with a long-term target of 1.7500 in the coming months.
I’m still viewing the euro as a bullish currency as long as it holds above 1.3500, this is because the market is still disappointed with the ECB, the market wants the ECB to introduce a QE programme in order to start selling euros,so until this point I will have a bullish bias on the euro. 1.3500 stands as strong support for the time being, you could look to buy the euro from 1.3550 with along-term target of 1.3800.
