About Pipnoculars

Pipnoculars Author Every day, I will present to you my findings and daily commentaries on what recently happened in the economic arena, possible shifts in sentiment, economic events to watch out for, and their effects on currencies. This blog, however, is not an economic crystal ball. I am not a fortune teller - I will simply try to piece together some economic updates so I can provide you with my scholarly opinions and analysis on the markets for a ‘sneak preview’ on what lies ahead.

United States

The dollar cried uncle against its European counterparts, as it dropped like a hot potato against the euro and pound. Both the EURUSD and GBPUSD pairs rose almost 100 pips from their opening prices. The dollar did however, hold its own against the yen and other majors. Could we see more mixed results today? More...

Euro Zone

Thanks to the combination of good euro zone data and ugly US labor figures, the EURUSD was able to stage a magnificent rally in yesterday's trading session. The pair closed out the US session at 1.3506, almost 100 pips higher from its Asian session opening price. More...

Wipe out! The Aussie took a nasty fall during the early Asian session after weak retail sales and building approvals reports were released from Australia. Still, the AUDUSD fought to keep its head above the 0.9150 level while the AUDJPY grabbed onto the 85.75 handle. More...

The NZDUSD was directionless in yesterday's trading session and just bounced around a tight 50-pip range. The pair closed the US session hardly changed at 0.7107, just a mere five pips higher from its Asian session opening price. More...

Switzerland

The Swissy bulls took advantage of the dollar's weakness in yesterdays trading rounds, bring down the USDCHF pair to monthly lows. My question is, will the 1.0500 handle hold? More...
