EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 14, 2016

Euro against greenback has been in a tight spot last Friday as the USD rallies after the negative reaction from the market the prior week. Trump acted on a low key instead of further alleviating the problems of side-by-side negative comments and accusations regarding his campaign especially the issue about the Obama Healthcare Plan which he strongly believes he could improve the U.S. Economy.

Trump has also mentioned to carry on the Federal Reserve where the next Fed policy would go on as planned. The market is agitated with the next Fed rate hike while they are positioning for quite some time now for the next prices. This has also been favorable for U.S. Dollars while giving tension for the pair as it closed at 1.0850 level last week. The price was able to break this Monday morning at 1.0780 level.

The speech of Draghi later this day is what to look out for during the U.S. Session where the market could get hints on the next step whether there would be cut on QE some time in the future. However, it is known the Draghi may not talk about the monetary policy, then the market would be directed by the figurative trends and current cash flow in the market.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 15, 2016

The USD has been recently exhibiting a steady increase, causing the EUR/USD pair to open this weeks session with a weaker value and went even lower as the previous session progressed. The currency pair closed last weeks session at its support levels of 1.0850 and the market was expecting further support levels at 1.0800. However, the EUR/USD started out the previous trading session at below 1.0800 in the light of a broadly increasing USD value.

The EUR/USD further decreased in value, going through 1.0750 at the London session and tested support levels at 1.0700 at the start of the New York trading session. The movements of the EUR/USD were somewhat muted during the course of the trading session, mainly due to the significant strength of the USD plus Draghi opting to stay mum with regards to the ECBs future plans on its monetary policies. The currency pair spent the rest of the New York session consolidating after the market chose to keep a positive outlook for the Trump presidency, and the USD is expected to have a continuously positive reaction in the market.

The market is now expecting the release of Germanys preliminary GDP during the European session, as well as the retail sales data from the US to be released during the New York session. These are expected to confirm market speculations with regards to the Fed rate hike in December.

EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: November 15, 2016

The EUR/GBP pair lost its sellers below the 0.86 region for the third consecutive session, maintaining the currency pairs stance over the key levels in the light of a highly active economic calendar.

The market is expecting the release of Germanys GDP report for the third quarter of 2016. The CPI data for the UK is also expected to exhibit an increased cost of living for the nation at 1.1% for October. The GDP report for the European Union is also expected to get significant attention from market players as it gets released later in the session.

The increased activity in the economic calendar could lead to an increase in stock market activity, which will then have a significant impact on the demand for EUR. The EUR/GBP is currently trading at the 0.8610 range, and incessant bounces from the 0.86 handle could possibly cause the pair to break through the handle and could lead the pair to trade at 0.8652 points and 0.85.

On the positive territory, if the pair manages to go above its 100-DMA of 0.8628 then this could cause the pair to go over 0.8664 and possibly even reach its zero figure of 0.8700.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 17, 2016

The GBP/USD pair remains in the lower trading range even though it has managed to stay above 1.2400. Market players have long been speculating that the after-effects of the Brexit referendum will continue to have an influence on the sterling pound no matter how many times it would increase and its bulls will not be able to stay put. The GBP will have difficulty with regards to getting and maintaining a substantial bull stance since the Brexit process will be too risky for investors and traders for them to make long-term bets.

The currency pair has recently been trying to break through its rut, but any uptick by the sterling pound is always met with suspicion from investors and is always seen as a sell opportunity. The pair was somewhat able to increase by 200-300 pips during the past trading sessions but was incessantly pushed down by bears and has returned below 1.2500.

For todays trading session, investors are expecting the release of the UK retail sales data during the European session, with investors waiting whether this particular data release would be able to exceed initial expectations.

The CPI data from US and comments from Feds Janet Yellen is also expected to make its rounds today, and the GBP/USD could possibly benefit if Yellen confirms the occurrence of the Fed rate hike in December by going down to the 1.2300 region.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 17, 2016

The EUR/USD has been consistently in a tight trading range for the past session as market players are waiting for the next stimulus in order to mark the start of the short-term trend. Although the EUR/USD has hit some significant price lows for this year, its follow throughs have been very few and far in between. The pair is currency seeing more consolidation, which indicates that the bulls are still waiting for possible economic events which could cause the price of the pair to crack both ways.

The number of economic data which will be released today could possibly cause the pair to crack either way. The CPI data and Core CPI is scheduled to be released before the start of the New York session, and market players are expecting a positive data release since this could compel the Federal Reserve to continue with the rate hike in December. Fed Chair Janet Yellen is also scheduled to make a speech later today and is expected to confirm whether the Fed will be pushing through with the rate hike, and she is also expected to confirm that the Federal Reserve will be sustaining its operations and functions without any political influence, especially after Donald Trumps victory. However, if Yellen fails to confirm the occurrence of the Fed rate hike, then this could cause the USD to weaken and the bulls will be active in the EUR/USD pair.

The pricing of the EUR/USD should be able to go beyond 1.0725 in order for it to benefit the bulls, something that has not done by the currency pair for the past 24 hours. Todays session could be a crucial period with regards to determining the projected direction of the pair.

USD/JPY Fundamental Analysis: November 17, 2016

The USD/JPY pair was subject to extreme selling pressure after reaching 109.751, its highest level reached since June. This selling pressure caused a possibly bearish closing price for the currency pair, which opens the possibility of the currency pair taking a 2-3 day break. The USD/JPY could also revert back to its last rally at 105.465 points if the selling pressure becomes substantial enough. The USD/JPY closed down the previous session at 109.072 after decreasing by 0.109 points or -0.10%.

Market analysts are speculating that the increase in value of the Japanese yen was mainly due to the weakness of the DJIA and the S&P 500 indices, together with the carry trade buying. The USD might have also lost some of its value due to the ambiguity of the 10-Year US Treasury Notes and 30-Year US Treasury Bonds, as well as a slightly weaker US Producer Prices Index data release.

For the New York session, investors are expected to react on the release of the consumer inflation data, building permits data, jobless claims data, and housing data. Comments are also expected to be released from the President of the New York Fed as well as from the Fed governor. For Thursdays session, the USD/JPY pair could still be subject to a steadily increasing selling pressure if Janet Yellen says that US exports could be adversely affected by a strengthening in the value of the USD, therefore creating a negative environment for the US economy in general.

USD/CAD Fundamental Analysis: November 22, 2016

The expected deal to be made at the OPEC meeting this week helped sustain oil prices and caused the USD/CAD pair to become muted for the majority of the trading session yesterday. The USD/CAD pair experienced a slight drop to 1.3400 points, triggering a decreasing in buying for the said pair. Since the OPEC meeting had a fairly good turnout, with the possibility of a deal being struck close, oil prices rose and this is expected to help in augmenting the strength of the Canadian economy. The effect of this increase in oil prices was reflected in the increase in the value of the CAD and the drop in the value of the USD/CAD pair. The currency pair traded tightly during the Tokyo and London trading sessions but was able to break through once the New York session began, with the pair dropping to 1.3380 where buying opportunities appeared and is now trading just over the 1.3400 range.

For today's trading session, the Canadian core retail sales data is expected to be released later within the day, with the data expected to come in at 0.6%. If the data fails to make it to this particular speculation then this could cause the currency pair increase to 1.3500. However, if the data manages to come in at the expected data then this could trigger a further decrease up to 1.3200. However, the uptrend is expected to continuously dominate the USD/CAD pair so any decrease in its value can be used by traders to buy the USD/CAD pair in the short-term.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 22, 2016

Both the bulls and the bears have been struggling to take control of the EUR/USD pair even though this particular currency pair exhibited little activity during the past trading sessions. However, the USD has once again extended its recent strength, indicating that other USD-related pairs could experience a temporary recovery before again going downwards, and the EUR might find it hard to extend its profits through the 1.0675 trading range.

However, there is a substantial option interest within the 1.0600-1.0659 region and this could lead to the currency pair consolidating between this particular range. The minutes of the FOMC meeting is set to be released on Wednesday, and this particular data is expected to confirm market speculations of a Fed rate hike this coming December. The market expectations for the rate hike is currently at 90%, and speeches and comments from a number of Fed officials including Janet Yellen seem to point towards a confirmation of this rate hike.

However, there is also a possibility that the Fed rate hike might not immediately translate to an added strength in the USD and could possibly weaken the currency if the Federal Reserve refuses to give hints regarding rate hikes for 2017. For todays trading session, there are no major economic releases expected today from the eurozone and the US, so the EUR/USD pair is expected to consolidate between 1.0600 and 1.0700.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 23, 2016
 
    The GBP/USD pair spent the majority of the previous trading session consolidating within the 1.2400 range as the USD kept on alternately losing and gaining its value for the past session. The value of the USD has been significantly uncertain for the past two sessions and this is an expected effect of a bullish market last Monday.
 
    There are no major economic news releases expected for the latter part of November, and this is why a lot of currency pairs have been directed by option expiries and flows instead of fundamentals. The strength of the USD has been mostly attributed to the recent surge in US Treasury yields which was the result of Donald Trumps victory in  the US Presidential elections, but US Treasury yields have started tapering off its strength at the start of this week, causing the USD to lose some of its gains as well. 
 
    The minutes of the FOMC meeting are scheduled to be released later today, and  this is expected to lend some measure of volatility to the GBP/USD pair even though the minutes are expected to confirm market speculations of an impending Fed rate hike this coming December, as well as give a general overview of the Feds future interest rate hikes. However, this could also induce a drop in the value of the USD once the minutes give the opposite of the market expectations.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 24, 2016
The sterling pound continues to be the sole currency that has survived the far-reaching effects of the USDs recent surges since the GBP has continuously inched higher against the US dollar even during the US elections. The GBP/USD pair consolidated and range for the majority of yesterdays sessions but the USD further increased during the opening of the New York session as economic releases from the US such as the Durable Goods data came out exceeding initial market expectations.

The GBP is currently on the strong side and should the USD exhibit weakness in the coming days, then the GBP/USD is expected to rise to 1.2600 and could possibly go higher.
The FOMC meeting minutes were released yesterday and has confirmed the possibility of a Fed rate hike this coming December especially since its members talked about the urgent need to increase interest rates as soon as possible. The minutes did not add much volatility to the market since it met initial market speculations. For todays trading session, there are no important economic releases expected from both the US and the UK, and the currency pair is expected to further consolidate with bullish biases enabling it to sustain its position over 1.2400. Market players are slowly regaining their confidence in the sterling pound, and is expected to further increase in the coming sessions.

USD/JPY Fundamental Analysis: November 25, 2016


The USD had already hit its highest levels in eight months against the JPY after investors are still making adjustments to higher interest rates in the US, a booming economic market and market speculations that Donald Trumps fiscal policies will cause inflation to surge, prompting the Federal Reserve to have interest rate hikes on a much frequent basis this coming 2017.

The increase in interest rates are expected to help in increasing the gap between the interest rate differentials of the US Treasury Bonds and Japanese Government Bonds, therefore making the USD more appealing for investors.
The USD/JPY pair closed down the previous trading session at 113.313 after increasing by +0.73% or 0.822 points. Thursday was a bank holiday for the US, and volumes clocked in at below average rates. This muted market volume is expected to be sustained until Friday since a lot of the major market players are not yet expected to return to the market until next week.


Since the USD/JPY pair closed off the Thursday session on a highly positive note, the currency pair is expected to continue its increase up until Friday. However, selling pressure could be limited since US banks are expected to remain spectators as of the moment.

For economic releases from Japan, the Tokyo Core CPI is expected to clock in at -0.4%, the same as last months data. Meanwhile, the National Core CPI is expected to come in at -0.4%, which is slightly lower than its previous reading of -0.5%. SSPI data is expected to remain at 0.3%, while the Bank of Japan Core CPI is expected to experience a slight increase of 0.3% as compared to last months reading of 0.2%. Major economic releases from the US include the Goods Trade Balance data, Flash Services PMI, and Preliminary Wholesale Inventories.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 25, 2016

The GBP/USD pair continued its consolidation and has remarkably sustained its momentum in the face of the USDs constantly increasing value. Yesterdays session saw the USD surging even higher as the market speculations for a Fed rate hike increased by up to 100% and has also begun to look ahead for 2017 when it comes to the frequency of interest rate hikes from the Fed. However, since these rate hikes will be dependent on the incoming government, the fate of the US market is yet unsure especially since the market has yet to see how the Trump administration would be handling things in the future.

The UK Autumn statement was released during yesterdays session and has generally predicted a grim economic outlook for the UK for the next two years since this would be the period where the effects of Brexit would be largely felt by the economy. The growth forecast for the UK market was listed at 1.4% for 2017 and 1.7% for 2018 even though some market players are expecting the actual numbers to be much lower than expected.

The resilience of the GBP will be tested today since the UK GDP data is scheduled to be released during the European session and is expected to have a reading of 0.5%. Once the GDP data either exceeds or matches market expectations, then the GBP/USD could possibly break through 1.2500 and could easily test the 1.2600 region. However, if the data comes out on a much lower range, then the currency pair could drop to 1.2300 and could be subject to significant pressure from the market.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 25, 2016


The euro bulls made some strategic movement on Thursday and appear to keep on moving as of this moment. The U.S Thanksgiving celebration aided the euro since US traders were not present, the euro is able to execute their plans. The EUR bulls guarded the 1.0500 with all their strength in spite of the continuous strengthening of the dollars.


Subsequent to the presidential elections, the single currency was heavily hit by the power of the greenbacks as it made a downturn from its highs specified at 1.12 and lows are close to 1.05.

According to yesterdays readings, the region centrally located in 1.0500 and 1.0060 is the most reliable support although the 1.0500 were already broken. In view of this, the investors, treasury and investment partnerships tend to secure the 1.05 area since a clear break were not able to perceive as the consolidation phase is expected to continue on top of the aforesaid region

Furthermore, there is no major economic news for today within the U.S and European regions and the EURUSD would keep a bullish sentiment throughout the day.

USD/CAD Technical Analysis: November 25, 2016
The USD/CAD made an attempt to extend its gains in order to move higher to the 1.37 level and when a reversal occurred, the channel will breakdown to a lower side. The pair further rebounded from the psychological 1.3500 area as shown in the 1-hour chart. Therefore, this event arise the possibility for retesting the 1.3400 level of support and the hope for the dollar bulls to reacquire their position and pushed for a breakout on top of the trading range. The SMAs prevented the bears from moving forward.

EUR/GBP Technical Analysis: November 25, 2016

The pair EUR/GBP has been on a lows for short-term trading. It testing within the range support that may rebound to the resistance level at .8560 level.

The 200-SMA was calculated to be higher than the 100-SMA that shows the lowest resistance is close to the bottom which could be set as Short-term resistance in the future.

The Stochastic indicates the buyers to be dominating the price trend but this can be reversed when it goes lower and entered the overbought area. Another consequence is the when the price breaks lower than the support level.

The Euro zone is performing well for this week as shown by the economic data where most results such as flash manufacturing and services PMIs gave positive numbers even higher than the target except for the German Ifo business climate that remains the same with 110.4 result lower than the target increase of 110.6.

The Autumn Forecast statement of the government has given a positive outlook for the investors in the middle of Brexit process. Furthermore, the chancellor has given a promising statement saying the pension benefits would not be released while there will be more infrastructure spending.

The U.K. second estimate of GDP will be publicized today and is expected to give the same output of 0.5%. Additionally, the preliminary business investment data will be released today and if there is a decline of 0.2% then this would not be good for the pound. However, if the numbers are high then this would be beneficial for the economy of U.K.

USD/JPY Technical Analysis: November 28, 2016
The USD has just clinched its highest trading range for eight straight months against the JPY after the US bond yields continued to surge during the Asian trading session after the US market holiday. The ascending trend for the currency pair continued, with the price of the pair extending beyond its upper limit at 114.00 points before inching lower. The downward direction of the pair caused it to lose momentum at the 113.00 trading range during the start of the London session and remained until the end of the session. The pairs 1-hour chart encountered its barrier at the 50 EMA, lending a strong support for the currency pair.
The moving averages for the currency pair maintained its bullish stance within its set timeframe. The pairs resistance levels are expected to be at 114.00, while its support levels are expected to be at 113.00. The MACD indicators for the currency pair weakened, indicating a decrease in buyer positions. Meanwhile, its RSI indicators have already left the overbought range.
The USD/JPY is expected to go beyond the upward channel if the pair would be able to go lower than 112.00. In order to diminish the effect of the present upward pressure, sellers will have to induce the pricing of the pair to go lower than 111.00. Or else a move towards 113.00 will cause a positive reaction and could trigger the pair to reach the 114.00 trading region.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 29, 2016

The GBP/USD pair was subject to downward pressure during the previous trading session as monthly cash flows combined with a slight increase in the USD triggered the pair to drop from its highs of 1.2500 to just below 1.2400 points. Every month, the market always expects added selling pressure for the GBP since the UK pays its EU membership fees every month. As a result, the value of the EUR/GBP increases, and the GBP becomes subject to significant losses.

There are also some speculations that the Brexit process will be subject to a number of legal challenges which could cause the process to be delayed altogether, and the schedule of events for the Brexit process could possibly go haywire. The UK government is also questioning the decision of the High Court for a Parliament debate first before pushing through with the Brexit process, while the Parliament is already preparing for the said debate just in case that the High Court refuses to overrule its previous decision on the Brexit process. The strength of the GBP would definitely be affected by these expected delays in the Brexit process and could have an adverse effect on the UK economy in general.

For todays trading session, there is no major economic news expected from the UK. However, the US will be releasing its Advanced GDP data and this could increase the market volatility, with a consolidation possibly happening together with a bearish stance.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: November 29, 2016

The EUR/USD pair met market expectations and was able to increase under low market liquidity, with the buyers still in total control of the currency pair as of the moment. A lot of banks are also reportedly reversing their calls on the EUR, with majority of them now speculating that the euros value will increase in the short-term in spite of the scheduled Fed meeting in a few weeks.

ECBs Draghi made a speech yesterday which highlighted the banks monetary policy. However, Draghi failed to mention anything that was not already known by the market in general, and the markets reaction to his speech was somewhat muted and did not induce much volatility. The pricing of the EUR/USD pair increased by up to 1.0670 during the Tokyo trading session and dropped to 1.0565 as the USD rallied but the pair has since then managed to inch up beyond 1.0600 points.

For todays trading session, the market is not expecting any major economic data to be released from the eurozone. However, the US is scheduled to be releasing the Advanced GDP data and the market is expecting an increase in volatility once this particular information is released. The bullish stance of the pair is expected to continue for today, with trading limited to within the 1.0670-1.0570 region since the price of the pair could be dominated by currency flows. Although the euro has significantly dropped in value during the past sessions, its reversions are noticeably increasing in frequency and more buyers are expected to come in if the EUR/USD manages to sustain its place in the 1.0500-1.0600 trading range.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis: November 30, 2016
The USD continued its rally against the EUR following the release of negative economic data from the eurozone. The Business Climate data, Services Sentiment data, and Economic Sentiment all failed to meet initial market expectations, thereby putting more downward pressure on the european currency.
The EUR/USD pair spent the whole of Tuesdays session in complete consolidation, with the current rally being limited within the psychological boundary of 1.0700, causing the pricing of the currency pair to drop. The EUR decreased and hit its support levels of 1.0550 but exhibited a small reversion and was able to regain some of its lost value. However, once the pair reached the 1.0600 range, the recovery of the pair waned and remained within 1.0600 points for the rest of the London session. During the North American session, sellers induced the pricing of the pair to go lower and continued to progress under its current moving averages. The pricing of the currency pair increased and was able to break through its 50 and 200 EMAs in its hourly chart. After the currency pair tested this particular level, the pair dropped and went beyond its 100 EMA. Resistance levels for the currency pair are expected to be at 1.0600, while support levels are expected to be at 1.0550 points
The MACD indicators for the currency pair is at the centerline of the chart, and if the histogram manages to revert to the negative region then this will be indicative of an increasing seller strength. The RSI indicators for the currency pair meanwhile remained within the neutral region.

USD/CAD Technical Analysis: November 30, 2016
The USD continued strengthening against the CAD during Tuesdays session after the US dollar received additional support from the recently released Advanced GDP data. Meanwhile, the CAD further declined due to commodity currencies being subject to downward pressure as oil prices dropped.
The bullish stance of the USD was sustained during the previous session, with its current value still trading within the upward region of the chart. The USD/CAD veered away from the lower region of the channel at the 1.3400 range and extended its gains towards 1.3470 during the London session. The USD/CAD pair struggled to further extend its profits prior to the opening of the North American session, with its pricing pushing away from its 200 EMA in the 4-hour chart. The pair eventually surged and broke through the 50 EMA and 100 EMA in the same chart. The moving averages for the currency pair is expected to go higher, with its resistance levels speculated to be at 1.3470 points, and support levels set to be at 1.3400 points.
The MACD indicators for the currency pair increased, indicating a drop in seller positions. Its RSI indicators reverted back from the oversold readings. If the USD/CAD would be able to close down the session above its resistance level, then this could cause the pair to test the 1.3540 range. However, if the pair drops in value, then the pair could revert back to the 1.3400 trading range.

USD/CAD Fundamental Analysis: December 2, 2016
The USD/CAD pair was finally subject to pressure during the previous session after the currency pair was able to go beyond the 1.3300-1.3400 trading region before settling just below the 1.3400 trading range. The currency pair has been consolidating with no definite direction since the strength of the CAD was perfectly offset by the USDs similar strength. However, the USD slightly dropped in value during yesterdays session as a result of the US dollars consistently bullish stance during the past few weeks. Meanwhile, the CAD continued to strengthen as crude oil prices surged after oil producers finally consented to cutting back on oil production, which will then cause oil prices to increase in the near future.
This particular piece of news was well-utilized by sellers of the USD/CAD, and the currency pairs lackluster closing price for November has helped bears to induce the currency pair to drop up to 1.3300. Since oil prices are expected to surge in the coming days, the USD/CAD is expected to further drop in value as well since the Canadian economy is hugely reliant on oil prices, and an increase in this particular commoditys price will have a positive effect on the national economy and will increase the value of the CAD as well.
For todays trading session, the Canadian Employment data as well as the NFP employment report from the US are expected to be released within the day, and traders will be closely monitoring this particular set of data since these are important determinants of the overall strength of both the US and Canadian economy. If the US economic data comes out as positive, then the currency pair will be consolidating on the lower trading regions. However, if the Canadian data turns out to be positive, then the USD/CAD pair could possibly test the 1.3200 region.

NZD/USD Technical Analysis: December 2, 2016


The kiwi stayed in the pressured area in spite of the strengthening of the U.S dollar. The greenbacks rose on the back of the positive stance of unemployment statistics which further develop the chance of the Fed to employ an increase rate for this month. Markets await for the NFP release due today before securing their positions.
After the technical rally, the New Zealand currency had a steep decline towards the region of 0.7100 and established a neutral post. The pair is trading flat as it was stuck in the downside during the consolidation period.
The price rolled back after it failed to break the 0.7100 level. The NZD/USD is sandwiched between the 50 and 100 EMAs as shown in the 4-hour chart. The 200-EMA is neutral, the 100-day moving averages had a dip and the 50-EMA moved higher. The resistance touched the 0.7100, support settled in the 0.7050 handle . The MACD indicator plummeted which indicates further weakening against the buyers. RSI stayed in the neutral zone and continued southwards, favoring a downward movement.

EUR/USD Fundamental Analysis: December 5, 2016

The EUR/USD crashed during the previous trading session after the Italian government voted No against the proposed constitutional reforms which led to the Italian Prime Minister resigning from his post. This has caused the Italian economy to experience major disturbances since the vote would translate into major policy reversals and could possibly lead to financial woes and could make a lot of investors lose their confidence in the eurozone currency.

These previous events has caused the EUR/USD pair to incur a widened gap, with the currency pair now testing solid support levels at 1.0550 points. Market players are now closely monitoring if the currency pair manages to sustain its hold in the current support region since a break beyond this level could lead to the pair possibly reaching 1.00 points. For this week, the ECB is expected to hold a meeting later within the week, and majority of market players are expecting Draghi to outline the QE program timeline whose conclusion is expected this coming March 2017. If Draghi refuses to have an extension of the QE program, then this could give the euro a much-needed boost. However for now, the market is mainly focused on the possible repercussions of the recently concluded Italian referendum.

For todays trading session, market players will be mostly focusing on the reaction of the European market on the results of the Italian referendum, since this will be a determinant on the euros next move especially since the outlook for the EUR was mostly positive until the results of the said referendum. There are no major economic releases expected from the eurozone for today, and the European market is expected to be subject to tension as the EUR/USD pair will be undergoing significant pressure for todays trading session.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: December 6, 2016
The pound remains strong brought by the recent surge that conversely weakened the U.S. dollar. Traders attempting to reach between the 1.27 and 1.2750 range in todays session. This gives a positive outlook for the pair with U.S. yields declining and greenback remaining weak.
The published results of the Services PMI gave high numbers at 54.2, even more than the expected value of 55.2. This indicates the continuous growth of Britains economy despite leaving the European Union. Concerns regarding Brexit especially the negotiations about Article 50 is still pending on what will E.U. gain from U.K. and what will those Euro leaders offer in return. Britain sees the free market access will continue while Euro leaders are careful with the negotiations as it might be taken advantage by other countries. Once the data will be released since negotiations then the U.K. economy can be finalized.
There is no major news to be published from U.K. then, the current price trend will continue. Traders could move the rate towards the 1.2800 level if the greenback continues to depreciate. It is quite difficult to reach the 1.30 mark with the downtrend being strong. If the rebound ends, the price could further go down.

GBP/USD Fundamental Analysis: December 7, 2016
The GBP/USD pair mostly consolidated and ranged on both sides of 1.2700 points since there was no major economic news release from the UK which could compel the pair to move, and this is why the currency pair had a muted session yesterday. However, since the Federal Reserves meeting is expected to induce volatility in the financial market, especially since the Fed is expected to announce its much-anticipated rate hike in this particular meeting. Market players are also expecting to receive hints with regards to the central banks future rate hikes in order to determine the USDs direction in the short run. However, if the meeting fails to give out hints with regards to the banks future moves, then this could induce a weakness in the US dollar.
Meanwhile, the UK is currently bearing the brunt of the Brexit process, which is expected to last for a couple of years since this will most likely involve heated discussions with leaders from all over the eurozone in order to send out a warning to other EU countries wanting to go in the same direction as the UK.
For todays trading session, the UK Manufacturing Production data is set to be released during the European session, and market players are expecting the data to come out as positive. If the data does come out as highly positive, then traders can expect the pair to hit 1.2800 points. Otherwise, the pair could continue consolidating on both sides of the 1.2700 region.
