It’s 12 o’clock GMT on this Friday, so let’s find out how this day has been shaping up so far for the market players. I’m Louise McCauley.
Euro/Dollar’s day has been calm – volatility is just 36 pips and traded volume is extremely low. Sentiment of the traders is neutral, long positions are up by just 5%. Trading has been passive and rate movement flat, so moves in funds shouldn’t be major.
Pound/Dollar has walked in a relatively narrow range of 45 pips, but traded volume is only 11% short of the pair’s typical. Traders have split into two similar camps as the sentiment is just 11% long, but both of the sides shouldn’t have significant losses or profits as rate movement has been calm.
Dollar/Yen has seen the trend change a couple of times and it was back near the opening level at noon. Traded volume is average and market players have been mostly forecasting the rate to move higher. It’s difficult to draw out any specific performance patterns as the trend has shifted.
Pound/Yen has mostly been moving sideways and market players haven’t shown much attention to this pair – volume is extremely low. Sentiment of the traders is neutral, long positions are in the lead by 9%. The generally passive trading and low volatility make it difficult to talk of any major moves in funds.
Euro/Yen’s gradual rise was followed by a decline, which took out all of the gain. Traded volume is average and market players have been expecting the rate to move lower, sentiment is strongly bearish. Traders had their chances after the daily high of 136 85 was reached.
That’s it for Friday’s Midday Snapshot, but we’ll be updating these stats every hour, so click back.
