What's on the Economic Horizon
US Producer Prices to Dip by 0.2%
The BOJ Widely Expected to Keep Rates at 0.10%
Canadian Wholesale Sales to Print a 0.6% Gain
United States
Although the Fed struck their usual cautious tone, the FOMC statement still caused quite a ruckus in the markets. The greenback sold off like pancakes at a state fair yesterday as the Fed retained the phrase "extended period" when discussing how long they would keep rates low. More...
Euro zone
It was turn back the clock Tuesday for the euro, as it reversed most of its losses from the previous day. The EURUSD closed 90 pips higher to end the day at 1.3766. Will the pair finally break past the 1.3800 handle? More...
Japan
The yen was unable to keep up with the Western currencies yesterday. The currency lost its appeal to currency traders and got sold-off against the dollar, the euro and the pound. More...
United Kingdom
The Cable finally found itself swimming above the 1.5200 handle yesterday. It started off the Asian trading session pretty slow, consolidating in a tight 40 pip range.

Australia
The Aussie was able to regain all of its losses against the greenback yesterday. The AUDUSD rebounded to close at 0.9185 from 0.9147. More...

Switzerland
The Swiss franc seemed to be on a sugar high yesterday as it bolted faster than the greenback, pushing the USDCHF to a low of 1.0539 during the US session. Too much Swiss chocolate, perhaps? More...

Forex Blog: 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.
