Start your trading prep with a quick review of last week’s forex action from my buddy Pip Diddy, an overview of catalysts lined up for the major currencies, and the charts to watch this week.

The dollar lost pips across the board despite positive trade developments last week. Can the bears extend the downtrend this week?

NZD closes the week as a net loser as the bulls weren’t able to maintain the late week rally sparked by top tier geopolitical catalysts from the U.S.-China trade story. 

The Aussie managed to ride the wave of positive global risk sentiment higher, as well as fall with it on Friday to end the week on a net negative note.
