The markets opened yesterday characterized by low volume, as financial firms extend their holiday throughout the week. Despite the lack of news and volume, certain currency pairs still managed to climb higher regaining recent losses. The Case Shilller price index released that home prices in 20 major U.S cities were down 6.1% on average over the past year. The news didn’t have much of an effect on the dollar as traders looked past the bad news, waiting for today’s data. The stock markets showed a similar lack of movement despite good news from Apple, as their shares hit $200, a price that has never been seen by this particular stock.
Gold and oil prices received a bounce on thoughts that shipments might be disrupted due to attacks by Turkish military on Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq.
Unlike yesterday, trader’s eyes will focus today on the economic calendar, as Initial Jobless claims and Durable Goods Orders are published- data that is always known to be market movers.

Disclaimer:
You should not engage in speculative spot forex or CFD trading unless you understand the basic aspects of such trading and its risks – for example, how positions are opened and closed, how profits and losses are made and the extent of your exposure to risk and loss. Trading in spot Forex and CFDs is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. In particular, because it will be conducted using margin (which covers only a small percentage of the value of the foreign currency traded), price changes in spot Forex or CFD can result in significant losses. Therefore, trading in these contracts is appropriate only for persons who understand and are willing to assume the economic, legal and other risks involved in such transactions.
