September 10, 2014 – Daily Market News

On the Forex market we should keep an eye on the Australian Dollar which depreciated against all the major peers. The Australian dollar fell about 0.8% against most of the peers as the Westpac Consumer Sentiment came out -4.6% instead of 3.8% increase. The AUD/USD pair fell almost to 0.9100 – the 6 month low. Another great opportunity for binary options traders we can see on Japanese Yen which depreciated against USD and reached new 6 year-high.

On the stock market we were watching Apple stocks where we expected a lot of volatility as the new iPhone 6 and iWatch were introduce to the market. The shares peaked from $98 to almost $103, however as the conference ended, the price started to decrease and finished below $98. There have been a great expectation on this release and it seems that market is disappointed as the new watch will work just with iPhones and will be available probably next year.
