Fundamental Analysis june 2
EUR/USD picked up 14 focuses today to exchange at 1.3616 after German retail deals missed desires and Italian CPI kept on decliing. Euro zone swelling remained at only 0.7 percent in April and is relied upon to stay at the same level in May. Bank of Italy Governor Visco said the pace with which swelling desires can change implied definitive activity was required to take off any danger of a deflationary winding.
GBP/USD trade at 1.6746 remaining well below its monthly trading range. News printed yesterday revealed that Bank of England policymaker Martin Weale wants interest rates to rise “sooner rather than later”.
AUD/USD eased by 43 points after building approvals tumbled well below expectations. The Aussie was trading just above the 93 level but slid to trade at 0.9267. The price of iron ore dropped 4 per cent ending another tumultuous month for the commodity. Australia’s largest export has now fallen in price for six consecutive months; with Friday’s fall one of the heaviest during that span, even if it doesn’t rate alongside the 8 per cent nosedive seen on March 10. The commodity is at its lowest level since September 2012 and just over 5 per cent above a five-year low.
The USD/JPY continues to weaken after the IMF said that the Bank of Japan needs to stimulate the economy now and the Bank Governor changed his rhetoric ahead of this month’s meeting. The JPY moved back into the 102 level to trade at 102.04 giving up 27 points to the greenback. Japan’s consumer prices rose 3.2 percent in April from a year earlier to the highest level since 1991, the government said Friday. The rise was largely due to the first stage of a two-part sales tax hike that is expected to dent growth this quarter.
Gold continued to decline giving up $3 to trade at 1254.10 as global tensions ease, inflation remains tame and the economic crisis seems to be easing into recovery.
