Due to the lack of market moving data from the U.S yesterday, volatility remained relatively low on most of the currency pairs. Even though inflation data was published in England (PPI results), it didn’t cause any major movement on its release. Towards the afternoon, Housing Starts from Canada took center stage as the result showed an amazing 256.9k, much higher than expected. The U.S indices characterized a volatile session closing the session with losses,. The intraday down-trend was led by financial shares, as investors speculated that earning estimates will prove to be too high, especially due to the credit crises. Even though Gold closed the session down, crude oil continued to climb higher closing the session at $107.4 per barrel. Looking forward, International trade balances from the U.S and Canada will be scrutinized today, especially as current currency prices are having mass affects on imports and exports worldwide.

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.
