About Pipnoculars

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 was all over the place yesterday, trading mixed across the board. While the dollar climbed against the comdolls and the euro, it lost out versus the yen and the pound. More...

Euro zone

The euro seemed to ignore the strong results of the German Ifo business climate survey and just focused on the euro zone's dismal current account deficit. With that, the EURUSD slid all the way down to a low of 1.2251 while the EURJPY fell towards the 111.00 area. More...

United Kingdom

After bursting to as low as 1.4688 early in the European session, pound bulls came back in force, pushing the GBPUSD all the way back up to the 1.4850 level. What the heck happened? More...

Japan

Sniffff... Is that a new air freshener we've got in the markets? It smells like the risk aversion scent to me! After all, the yen was able to dominate its higher yielding counterparts in yesterday's trading sessions! More...

Australia

The Aussie kept attempting to close its weekend gap yesterday as it edged lower and lower against the Greenback. The lack of economic releases from Australia was probably one of the reasons why the Aussie couldn't pull its own weight. More...

New Zealand

The NZDUSD filled its weekend gap yesterday as it slid from an opening price of .7126 to a low of .7052. Upbeat economic figures from New Zealand weren't able to provide support for the Kiwi. More...

Switzerland

Extra! Extra! Read all about it: the Swissy posted a new yearly low against the euro yesterday! Yep, you heard me right... the Swissy bulls trampled all over the euro again and marked their fifth consecutive win! With the Swiss National Bank absolutely in sight, we could see the EURCHF hit 1.3500 today. More...
