A trendless pattern with the exception of USDJPY is developing in the markets. EURUSD and GBPUSD have both traded sideways for the past 2 days, unable to take a new direction. The market is waiting for the long awaited ECB rate decision tomorrow along with cues that ECB President Mario Draghi might give regarding increasing the QE Programme in order to revive the EU economy. So Far, EURUSD trades 0.15% higher at 1.1355 however it looks unable to break the 1.1370 resistance.
USDJPY is trading over 120.00 boosted by the surge in the Japanese Nikkei. So far in 2015, USDJPY range (115.855 – 125.855) in percentage has been 8.35%, which is the lowest since 1976 (Average % range from 1971 to 2014 was 17.48%).
Today’s calendar is again thin. Notable exception for the day is the Bank of Canada rate decision which is expected to not be changed and remain at 0.5%. The CAD has lost its momentum since OIL failed to sustain over $50 and is trading back around $46.
