Weekly Trading Forecast: Fed, BoJ and BoE Rate Decisions Look to Further Stir FX Volatility

Weekly Trading Forecast: Fed, BoJ and BoE Rate Decisions Look to Further Stir FX Volatility

The ECB's extraordinary effort to expand stimulus this past week revealed the monetary policy doesn't exact the 'typical' influence on exchange rates, and speculative appetite isn't so easy to inspire. That is dangerous given the influence of the Fed decision ahead.

US Dollar Forecast – Dollar Traders Uneasy Over Federal Reserve’s Market Impact Post-ECB

What was once a straightforward interpretation of monetary policy’s impact on exchange rates and capital markets is now a source of confusion and abject volatility.

Euro Forecast - ECB’s Measures Aimed at Credit, Not FX - Euro Gains Breathing Room

It’s clear that the European Central Bank is less concerned with the Euro exchange rate (broadly speaking) after its latest round of stimulus efforts. Rather, the ECB is hoping that its measures to reduce credit risk will help stimulate lending. Whether or not the measures work is an entirely different story.

British Pound Forecast – British Pound Rally Unlikely to Last for this Key Reason

The British Pound showed further signs of life as it rallied for a second-consecutive week against major FX counterparts.

New Zealand Dollar Forecast – NZD/USD Outlook Mired by Slowing New Zealand GDP, Upbeat FOMC

NZD/USD struggled to hold its ground after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) unexpectedly reduced the official cash rate by 25bp to 2.25% at the March 10 meeting, and the New Zealand dollar stands at risk of facing further losses over the coming week should the key data prints coming out of the region fuel speculation for additional monetary support.

Chinese Yuan (CNH) Forecast – Yuan Outlook Awaiting Bank of Japan, FOMC

Both the offshore (CNH) and onshore Yuan (CNY) rates gained against the US Dollar on Friday as China’s Central Bank set the daily reference rate to the highest level this year at 6.4905. The move in Yuan’s daily fixing reflects euro strength and dollar weakness following the ECB’s rate decision and Draghi’s speech.

Gold Forecast – Gold to Shine on Downbeat FOMC; Dot-Plot Remains Key

Gold prices were traded lower this week with the precious metal off just 0.70% to trade at 1293 ahead of the New York close on Friday.
