The UK FX Spread Trading review with quick and simple answers to common FX spread trading questions:
UK FX Spread Trading, 18 November 2011
The euro has held up relatively well considering the weakness in the equity markets although it remains in the dog house compared to other currencies.
EUR/USD is at $1.3500 at the time of writing having drifted lower in the past few days so from a technical point of view things look negative.
Downside support over the near term is seen at $1.3425 and $1.3380 whilst upside resistance is seen at $1.3555 and $1.3600/40.
Sterling too has held up pretty well considering the weakness it suffered after the BoE's growth downgrades and the poor unemployment data earlier in the week. GBP/EUR still managing to hold onto the €1.1700 level and cable is at $1.5785 at the time of writing.
UK FX Spread Trading, 17 November 2011
The poor unemployment figures and Mervyn King’s Inflation Report didn’t bode well for the pound yesterday. However, this morning FX spread betting investors are moving out of the dollar, on the back of speculation that the Fed Reserve Bank of New York President’s speech today will suggest that quantitative easing could be back on the cards.
So, the sterling – dollar spread betting market has been given a bit of a boost this morning and is trading up marginally against the dollar at $1.5742. The pair has support at $1.5680 and resistance at $1.5825.
UK FX Spread Trading, 16 November 2011
Currency spread betting markets are in defensive mode and have largely been in this mood for the last few days.
The euro is the one being targeted by traders once again as EUR/USD drifts downwards below £1.3500 to $1.3470 at the time of writing.
Support levels are being targeted by the bears with $1.3425 and then $1.3380 in focus. If any upside momentum can be found for the single currency then that might take us up to test near term resistance at $1.3555, $1.3600 and $1.3640.
The main beneficiary of the uncertainty in recent weeks has of course been the US dollar, which has risen over 4% in November.
UK FX Spread Trading, 15 November 2011
The key economic data still to come today is UK CPI inflation data and then the German ZEW survey.
Inflation is expected to dip back towards the 5.0% mark with many believing this will be the peak for rising prices.
This will be music to everyone’s years who have suffered years of way above target inflation, apart from the blip down during the recession. Unfortunately, however, there’s still a very long way to go to get back towards the BoE’s target of 2%.
FX spread betting investors have continued their bearish stance on the euro as it is on the decline for a second day today. Merkel’s comments that the Eurozone is in the worst state since WWII come just in time for those German investor confidence figures mentioned later today, expected to show their lowest in three years.
Traders all over will be extremely cautious about the single currency as it seems that, despite a few governmental changes in the Eurozone, sentiment hasn’t really appeared to pick up.
As said yesterday, we should still expect short term bearishness over the euro and strength in more safe havens currencies such as the dollar and yen. The euro is trading down against the dollar this morning at $1.3600 with support at $1.3545 and resistance at $1.3720.
UK FX Spread Trading, 14 November 2011
Economic data is thin on the ground today but the week starts to get more interesting on this front tomorrow with GDP numbers from German, France and the EU.
Never before have so many people in the UK be this interested in GDP data from the continent as it could so worryingly have a knock on effect for us.
Things appear to be looking up for the euro, well at least short term anyway. Traders of the euro were encouraged by the instalment of a new Italian PM, which helped the single currency pretty much reinstate all the losses it made against the dollar last week.
There was also a bit of a boost from the Greeks, as their new Prime Minster took up his new role. In addition, the Greek finance minister stated that his priority was to get the next EU-led loan tranche in place.
EUR/USD is trading at $1.3716 currently, with support at $1.3675 and resistance at $1.3815.

UK FX Spread Trading, 11 November 2011
The euro has managed to find a little bit of support around these levels and is at $1.3640 at the time of writing. Traders are still very wary of the single currency following the sharp sell off recently and increased volatility in the forex spread betting markets.
Clients have actually been sticking with a bearish view of the euro, which is not what they usually do when a market is trending lower as they often oppose the trend.
This time they clearly feel EUR/USD has further lower to go following the recent small bounce. Support and resistance for the pair is seen at $1.3500/1.3460 and $1.3700/50 respectively.
The recent euro weakness has given GBP/EUR a boost taking it up above €1.1700 where once again it has run out of momentum.
The little bounce in the euro has brought us back down to €1.1670 at the time of writing so will history repeat itself and bring this pair back lower again?
UK FX Spread Trading, 10 November 2011
The euro has remained the whipping boy on the forex spread betting markets, trading down at $1.3540, as the Eurozone debt crisis continues. For more details also see our feature FX Spread Betting: EUR/USD Tumbles as EU Leaders Discuss Eurozone Break Up.
Economic data today comes in the form of the Bank of England's interest rate decision where things are expected to remain on hold after having extended quantitative easing last month.
After their claims that the first round of QE helped to boost GDP, the pressure will be on them this time for their actions to have a material effect on UK growth and job creation.
For people on the street the real worry is rising prices and unfortunately whilst QE might give a boost to GDP, we've seen that it is only short term and it also puts pressure on underlying inflation.
UK FX Spread Trading, 9 November 2011
There’s nothing to report on the economic data front really apart from some Chinese numbers out overnight. These saw inflation dipping a little and retail sales and industrial production holding up well, all coming out in line with expectations.
The euro received a bit of a boost on the back of Berlusconi announcing he’ll step down and the news of the formation of a “caretaker” Greek government which is to take them into the next election.
Traders can expect EUR/JPY to see a continuation of the recent volatility as the yen has crept higher again causing the Bank of Japan to mention they will intervene further to make their currency weaker.
The euro is trading lower this morning against the yen at ¥106.95, breaking below its previous support level, which could signal heading towards ¥106.50 where it finds its next support level.
UK FX Spread Trading, 8 November 2011
Economic data is thin on the ground today although there’s manufacturing and industrial production from the UK.
A rise is expected for the month of September, following the relatively decent PMI figures released back then, but we know this probably won’t last as the PMI data for October was poor, coming in below 50.
Forex traders fled the riskier currencies and piled into safe havens such as the dollar and yen. Having said that, we could see a hefty jump in the euro if Berlusconi does step down.
The euro has been trading sideways in a tight range against the dollar, and it seems traders are just waiting to see what the next moves are. EUR/USD is trading at $1.3760 with support at $1.3650 and resistance at $1.3820.
UK FX Spread Trading, 7 November 2011
FX spread betting markets are seeing a bit of risk aversion in line with equity markets this morning as the euro gets bashed up a little bit in early trade. The dollar is proving a bit of a favourite, just as it did throughout last week.
EUR/USD is just heading back below $1.3700 at the time of writing as the government bond yields for the PIIGS edge higher.
Interestingly the battle between the euro and sterling is seeing the balance of power just tip in favour of the pound.
GBP/EUR is attempting to have another go at the €1.1700 level, just as it did last week, with the rate at €1.1665 at the time of writing. This could attract some sellers of the pound as we’ve seen sterling fail at this level a couple of times before.
