USD - The dollar continued to fall most against GBP and NZD. Investors are beginning to have fluctuations for the next planned increases in the interest rates. Chances for 2 increases fell below 40%. In the short term, we remain negatively prone to the dollar.
The pound keeps its profits from the past day. GBP sentiment is positive. We can look for long positions, but only after a key level test.
CAD - The Canadian dollar fell against all currencies, as the price of oil fell rapidly after the data about Crude Oil Inventories. The short-term trend for CAD turned to a negative with the drop in the price of oil. We will look for EUR / CAD and NZD / CAD long positions after a correection.
Indices - The correction of indexes continues and we may see lower values if the price of Oil breaks below $ 50 per barrel. Investors are worried about the French election and report this event as a risky one as there is no clear lead candidate and Marine Le Pen is still could possibly win. There is an increased demand for risky currencies, and this may indicate a change in sentiment risk after the yen has begun to lose its strength.
