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.
What's on the Economic Horizon
Euro Zone Services PMI to Remain Steady
UK Services PMI Expected to Rise
US ADP Non-Farm Employment Report on Deck
United States
Dollar bulls paused to catch their breath yesterday, probably in anticipation of the upcoming top-tier economic reports. Because of that, most majors were able to stay range-bound against the US dollar, except for the weak yen and the strong Loonie. More...
Euro Zone
The euro managed to stave off any big losses yesterday, with the EURUSD treading around the 1.2200 handle. It looks like traders are waiting for more catalysts before triggering any big move. More...
United Kingdom
The Cable went into see-saw mode yesterday as it paced in and out of the 1.4700 psychological handle. It rallied as high as 1.4771 during the Asian session before completely reversing its gains to settle at 1.4665 by the end of the US trading session.

Canada
With the wind on its back, the Loonie was able to post spectacular gains versus the yen and the dollar yesterday. Did the rally from the Bank of Canada (BOC) rate hike come one day late? More...
Australia
Like its com-doll sibling, the Aussie rode a nice wave of risk appetite that hit the market shores. With the equity and commodity markets all amped up, the AUDUSD finished at 0.8421, up almost a 100 pips from its opening price. More...
New Zealand
The Kiwi sparkled in yesterday's trading session, as it got a nice boost from a return of risk appetite in the commodities markets. The NZDUSD closed 62 pips higher to end the day at 0.6822. More...
Switzerland
The USDCHF pair seemed to be walking on a tight rope yesterday as it tiptoed around the 1.1540 and the 1.1600 levels. Even though Switzerland saw a weaker than expected retail sales figure, the Swissy was able to hold its ground against the greenback. More...
