Euro Weighed Down By
VW Concerns


Morning Report: 06.45 London


• This morning, the Euro remains under pressure after a weekend of further revelations about the VW scandal with some commentators warning that the fallout could be more significant than Enron.

                         

                         

• The Euro is also is also on the back foot as US rate watchers re-adjust to the idea of a rate hike in 2015. After Yellen’s speech last week, it does indeed seem that a rate hike may be back on for December. Stock markets took a ‘glass half full’ view of this, putting in a positive session on Friday. US Dollar index:

                        

• Elsewhere, the Australian Dollar has a negative bias, while the USD/JPY remains stuck in an ugly trading range.

                       

Coming up today:

• First up today, we have a number of central bankers speaking at a conference in Paris from 08.00 to 13.30. There are further speeches in the US at 18.30 and 20.00. Analysts will be looking for the words within the words.
• Aside from this we have US personal spending data at 13.30, released alongside core PCE price index. Pending new homes follow at 15.00.

Trade Idea:

• The USD/JPY is stuck in an ugly trading range, but this is likely to resolve itself in the coming weeks as the US inches towards a rate hike. A downside breakout seems the most likely, but you can hedge your bets with an IN/OUT trade.

                      

A good way to play this is an IN/ OUT trade predicting that the USD/ JPY will close outside of 122.50 and 118.00 in 14 days time for a potential return of 134%.
