9th January 2015

Market Commentary -


US DX

91.932     -0.383 -0.49%

The US DX fell slightly on friday due to the end of week profit taking and concern on news events in Paris surrounding the terrible attacks. The market is overbought for now but long term serious declines are not expected rather a consolidation phase for the attempted push through the 94.32 is seen as the next phase with the US DX. Strong support is seen at 91.33 and 90.35.


EUR/ USD

1.18400     +0.00319 +0.27%


EUR rise today was not due to any chances in downward technical inclination. Traders covered their shorts and closed positions for profit taking. The EUR is expected to challenge the key support over the next 2 weeks being the        117.61 and further support at 116.61.

 
Crude Oil

48.16      -0.63 -1.29%

The CL is now deeply oversold. Strong support lies ahead as wednesday's low at 46.83 with further strong at the monthly support at 43.77.


Gold 

1223.260   +10.575 +0.87%


Gold has seen some decent bounce the last few sessions but it remains to be seen if this modest climb can shape itself into a serious momentum for an upwards push. Resistance at 1223.30 has not quite given way yet but if it does next week then it would take a serious test of the December high at 1239.00 to convince the big specs to pile in for a bull run. On the other hand it would take a drop to last Friday low at 1167.30 to revive opinion that a downward slide is on the cards. The market is fairly neutral at the moment searching for new direction.
