Dollar recovers as markets look past Fed decision

Dollar recovers as markets look past Fed decision

NEW YORK – The dollar traded mostly higher Wednesday, regaining its footing a day after a Federal Reserve decision to keep interest rates at near-zero levels.

The euro fetched 1.3735 dollars in New York at 2200 GMT Wednesday, down from 1.3774 late Tuesday. It had climbed to 1.3818 dollars in early trading, its highest level since early February.

The dollar was also up at 90.33 yen from 90.28 Tuesday.

The euro initially climbed against the greenback as investors moved to the slightly higher yielding currency after the Fed maintained its benchmark rate at virtually zero percent but the single European unit fell back amid renewed concerns over the Greek debt crisis, analysts said.

The Fed’s "insistence on maintaining a dovish stance knocked wind out of the dollar bulls who had been hoping for a move to a more neutral posture given the improvement in the US economy," said Boris Schlossberg, director of currency research at Global Forex Trading.

"However, it is now clear that the Fed will not even consider the possibility of tightening until it sees tangible proof of sustainable job growth, preferring for the time being to err on the side of caution," he said.

After a one-day meeting Tuesday, the Fed’s policy body voted 9-1 to keep the federal funds rate — at which banks charge each other for loans — at a zero to 0.25 percent range.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) expected to hold the "exceptionally low" rate "for an extended period" — reiterating its standard guidance since it slashed rates to record lows in December 2008 in a bid to jolt the world’s largest economy from its worst recession in decades.

The euro came under pressure amid persistent market concerns over the lack of details from a EU plan to make emergency loans available to Greece — if needed — to shield the country from bankruptcy.

The absence of details prompted Greece to keep open the option of reaching out to the International Monetary Fund, and its mountain of debt remains a big concern, analysts said.

Euro Falls in Forex Trading on Greek Disappointments

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Can the euro zone remain intact through all of this?

The euro continues to struggle in forex trading on the currency market as the problems in Greece continue weighing on the euro zone. European Union leaders remain divided on the best way to approach the Greek problem, with some — especially Germany — reluctant to bail Greece out.

However, Greece has been arguing that it has adopted austerity measures, and tried to work through the mess. However, the bonds it is selling on the market to roll over debt have prohibitively high interest rates, and that is adding further to the burden. Some are saying that the IMF could be a solution, but that could actually threaten the euro zone’s monetary sovereignty, proving in some minds that such a Union was foolhardy to begin with.

Another issue is that turning to the IMF, with the European Union unable to solve its own problems, could lead to a chain reaction of southern European countries (including Portugal, which is also on the brink), effectively ending the monetary union. GFT’s Boris Schlossberg reports on the problem in FX360:

The Greek issue continues to hover over the EUR/USD like a dark cloud. If the EU is unable to find a pan-European solution to resolve the crisis, the currency could weaken further on fears that many of the other Southern European economies may be next as risk of fragmentation increases exponentially.

The U.S. dollar, on the other hand, is doing reasonably well, thanks to indications that things are improving as the job market stabilizes.

M5G Cyborgの雑感:10年3月18日

検証を開始してから10ヶ月近くが経過しますが、M16A4を検証した時と同様に過去の売買履歴が消えていく症状が出始めました(汗)前回で症状が出た際に教訓としてデータを保存していましたので、幸い過去の記録には問題が御座いません。

この症状は個人的な分析と検証でしたら問題ありませんが、検証過程をレビューする立場としては問題・・・というか作業効率が落ちる厄介な現象です。労力を掛ければデータの公開は可能なのですが、そこまでは出来ませんのでこれを機会にM5G Cyborgの公開フォーワードテストを終了したいと思います。

非公開でテストは続行しますが、それらの公開予定は御座いませんので了承下さい。気まぐれで公開を開始する可能性が無いとは言えませんが(笑)

しかし、「デモ口座の売買履歴が消失する」のはどのようなロジックになっているのでしょうね^^;トレード数でも口座維持の期間でもないみたいで・・・さすがにデモトレードの管理までは頑張れないので、公開用のテストはもう少し期間を短くする等、今後は対策を考えたいと思います。

Australian Dollar Gets Boost in Forex Trading from Higher Gold Prices

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Aussie in currency trading on the FX market

The Australian dollar is moving higher in forex trading today as gold prices gain. Gold prices are moving higher as the Fed expresses its belief that the labor market is stabilizing. The Aussie is following suit in currency trading on the FX market.

The Australian dollar is commodity currency, which means it often moves in tandem with commodity prices. Aussie is sensitive to gold because Australia relies on gold for a sizable chunk of its economy. As gold prices rise, they help support Australian economic growth, and help support the Aussie in currency trading.

With gold heading higher, and with U.S. stock futures pointing to a higher open, it is little surprise that investors are looking for something a bit riskier as well. Therefore, turning to the Aussie, with its higher returns, makes sense in forex trading. At least for now.

Sterling Continues to Rally in Forex Trading

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

U.K. pound higher in currency trading

The sterling continues its rally in forex trading on the currency market today, thanks in part to an improvement in risk appetite. Commodity currencies are higher on gold prices and oil prices, and that is helping the sterling.

Also helping is the fact that U.K. employment data is better than expected, and the fact that the government continues to defend its monetary policy and insist that its deficit is acceptable. All of this points to the idea that the British economy is preparing to recover, and it is helping the sterling in forex trading.

Indeed, the U.S. dollar is struggling in forex trading as somewhat positive news from the Fed on the subject of the U.S. labor market sends investors looking for higher yields. The euro, however, is not joining this forex trading party; instead, it is lower, weighed down by euro zone problems.

Forex-AI AutoTraderの雑感:10年3月16日

最大順行幅(MFE)、最大逆行幅(MAE)を計測した所、やはりエントリーポイントは中々秀逸のようです。そんな状況の中で良い結果が得られていないのは、当初から指摘している「手仕舞いが上手くない」点が問題なのだと思いますが、トレンドフォロー系だとこの辺は仕方がないのでしょうか?

過去のトレードを見ると、1トレードで1000pips以上獲得している売買が1回、1トレードで300pips以上獲得している売買が7回、それらは「稀なケース」と考えてトレードを省いた場合、勝ちトレード時の平均獲得pipsは90pips程度となります。

ですがこのシステムは、100pips以上の含み益があっても手仕舞いせずに持ち越しして、結果的にマイナス決済or微益という結果に終わってしまうというトレードが大変目立ちます^^;私はTPを調整しながら使っているのですが、決済ロジックを強化してくれるともっと扱いやすいシステムになるのだろうなと感じますがどうでしょう?

ただ、私自身もマニュアルを完全に理解した訳ではありませんし、何故か販売元の売買履歴と合致しない(汗)という問題もあったりと、検証と平行して勉強も進めていきたいと思います。

Will Fed Strike Positive Tone on Jobs?

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

U.S. dollar in forex trading today

Cautious optimism appears to be the trend for today, as forex traders and other investors consider the possibilities for tomorrow’s Fed policy statement. The FOMC began its two day meeting today, and speculation is that a more positive tone could be coming.

This comes as the U.S. stock market moves slightly higher, and as the sterling and the euro gain in forex trading against the U.S. dollar. However, movements are mostly small as investors tread water, waiting for tomorrow.

GFT’s Kathy Lien believes there is a good chance that the Fed will express some optimism about the economy. She makes her case in FX360:

The primary reason why we believe that the Fed could grow more optimistic is the prospect of strong job growth in March. Non-farm payrolls fell much less than the market had anticipated in February and with jobs affected by the snowstorms set to be added back this month, there is a strong possibility of positive job growth in March. The improvement in the labor market should also encourage consumer demand, particularly given the rise in retail sales for everything except for autos. There have been many areas of improvement since the January monetary policy meeting and if the Fed doesn’t want to fall behind the curve, they could choose to acknowledge the improvements tomorrow.

U.S. Dollar: How to Trade Fed Meeting

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

There are a few reasons why forex traders should be nervous today, but we believe that the rally in the U.S. dollar is a reflection of the market’s hope that the Fed will come through tomorrow by growing more hawkish and optimistic.

U.S. DOLLAR: HOW TO TRADE FED MEETING

The U.S. dollar traded higher against every major currency ahead of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting. There are a few reasons why forex traders should be nervous today, but we believe that the rally in the U.S. dollar is a reflection of the market’s hope that the Fed will come through tomorrow by growing more hawkish and optimistic.

 Equities are hovering near their yearly highs along with 2 year bond yields which indicate that the sell-off was not primarily induced by risk aversion. With some Wall Street economists calling for job growth well in excess of 150k, the Federal Reserve is under pressure to act sooner rather than later. However Fed officials do not easily buckle under pressure because they know that once something is telegraphed, it cannot be readily retracted without triggering sharp volatility across the financial markets.

The Federal Reserve has not raised interest rates since 2008, but they are in the process of gradually implementing their exit strategy. In our FOMC Preview , we wrote at length about how traders will be paying particular attention to the inclusion or deletion of the phrase “extended period” and to the number of dissenters. One of our readers also made a fantastic point about how the Fed could replace or supplement the Fed funds rate with interest paid on excess bank reserves. In early January, Fed President Lacker had openly suggested allowing more flexibility for the fed funds rate to drift higher while leaving the rate on excess reserves at 0.25 percent. We are not sure the Fed is ready to change their main policy tool but if they do, it should be perceived as a hawkish move.
