Last Week’s Currency Trading Review
The Dollar had relatively mixed data throughout the week yet managed to weaken further across the board, as the G7 meeting loomed.
With so much emphasis placed on the Housing sector, Housing Starts recorded it’s lowest level in 14 years, prompting investors to price in further rate cuts out of the Federal Reserve, even as early as Oct 31.
The G7 summit failed to address the recent weakness in the USD, with most emphasis being placed on accelerating strength on the Chinese Yuan.
The Euro continued to gain in momentum trading at a record high of 1.4317 in the latter part of the week.
Much of the moves came on the back of a broadly weaker USD, as the housing downturn continued.
The Euro closed last week at 1.4286 having opened at 1.4175.
The Japanese was one of the biggest gainers versus the USD, in a highly volatile market.
With little data out of Japan, The Yen traded on the back of other currencies, buoyed by the unwinding of carry trades, triggered by a revision lower of global growth, and a plunge in stock prices.
The Japanese Yen closed last week at 114.87 having opened at 117.48.
The GBP touched fresh high since July reaching 2.0522 on Friday, supported by sturdy reading in GDP and Retail Sales, reducing expectation of near term rate cuts by the BoE.
The Pound closed last week at 2.0492 having opened at 2.0343.
The AUD was one of the worst performed currencies despite a weaker dollar.
In market led by risk aversion, the AUD suffered as a high yielding currency.
The Aussie Dollar closed last week at 0.8900 having opened at 0.8971.

How do I trade Forex?
You select the pair of currencies with which you wish to make a Forex deal. You determine the volume (the amount of the deal). You deposit the "margin" (collateral needed to facilitate the deal. Usually - only a very small portion of the whole deal, say: 1% or 1:100).
Before you finally activate the deal, you can still "freeze" it for a few seconds. That enables you to either change the terms, or accept it as is, or altogether regret the whole idea. The "freeze" feature is a unique service by Easy-Forex™.
When your Forex deal is running (you hold an "open position"), you can monitor its status and check scenarios online, whenever you wish. You may change some terms in the deal, or close it (and cash the profit, if any, or minimize the loss, if any). Moreover, Easy-Forex™ lets you determine a "take-profit" rate, with which the deal will close automatically for you, when and if such rate occurs in the market. Meaning: you do not have to stay near your computer when you hold open positions.
