Week ahead July 25th – 29th

EUR/USD FUNDAMENTOS E TÉCNICOS

Pair closed last week’s trading session higher on ECB’s rate hike decision. The central bank increase rates by 0.5% on Thursday’s meeting in an effort to stabilize inflation and normalizing their monetary policy. The rate hike was well welcomed by markets, although the rally did not last long. Comments from ECB’s president Lagarde over economy’s slow down was taken negative by markets. Deteriorated economic releases during last week’s trading session, was another factor behind Euro’s pullback. The worst than expected economic releases reinforced ECB’s warnings of an economic slow down in the EU.

As for this week, market participants will mainly focus on the FOMC minutes, due to be released on Wednesday. The FED is expected to hike rates by 0.75%. Investors and traders will be cautious on this meeting as the FED might continue its aggressive policy and signal higher rates ahead of the end of the year. If FED will fail to deliver what markets are expecting, we could see the pair resuming last week’s rally. The heavy economic calendar in the US will be the major market mover in this week’s session.

On the economic calendar, we have on Monday, German IFO business climate pointing lower at 90.5  On Wednesday, US Durable goods  orders expected lower at -0.2% and later the FED expected to hike rates by 0.75%.  On Thursday, German Harmonized index of consumer prices expected lower at 8.1% and US Gross domestic product higher at 0.9%. On Friday, German gross domestic product pointing lower at 0.1%,  European gross domestic product lower at 3.4% and European HICP higher at 8.7%

Technically the picture is negative after last week’s closed below 23.6% In this week’s trading session if pair fails to resume upside move and turns down, will retest  1.0000, if breaks below 1.0000  will accelerate losses down to 0.9900. If pair manage to recover and close above (23.6%) could change the picture back to neutral and test next level of 1.0530 (38.2%). Our traders are net 100% long with positions opened between 1.1350 to 1.0000 targeting profits above 1.1350 we are expecting more aggressive long positions on the way down. Alternative if pair continues trading on the upside, we are expecting short sellers to appear around 1.0530 (38.2%)

GBP/USD FUNDAMENTOS E TÉCNICOS

Pair closed last week’s trading session higher on US Dollar’s weakness due to worst than expected economic releases. The pair manage to recover some lost ground during last week’s session on the lack of any high impact economic releases from the US and on UK’s PMI that surprised markets after registering a higher than expected number of 52.8.

Quanto a esta semana, os participantes do mercado se concentrarão nas atas do FOMC dos EUA, que serão divulgadas na quarta-feira. O FED deve aumentar as taxas em 0,75% nesta reunião. Se o banco central fizer isso e mantiver sua política monetária agressiva, o par poderá enfrentar uma pressão negativa adicional. Se o FED falhar em entregar o que os mercados esperam, poderemos ver o rally ser retomado e ajudar o par a recuperar mais terreno perdido. A falta de qualquer liberação econômica no Reino Unido manterá o par à mercê do dólar americano.

No calendário econômico que temos na quarta-feira, os pedidos de bens duráveis dos EUA com expectativa de serem menores a -0,2% e mais tarde o FED espera aumentar as taxas em 0,75% Na quinta-feira, o Produto Interno Bruto dos EUA espera ser maior a 0,9%
