Forex Trading Signals: EURUSD, USD-X July-August 2017

After, the hawkish speech from President Draghi in late June, Forex investors have turned bullish on the Euro. Draghi said that no further Euro rate cuts would be required, signaling a potential change in ECB’s monetary policy. As a result, the euro has seen strong gains against all the majors (USD, CHF, JPY, and GBP). Nevertheless, at this moment, EURUSD has entered an accumulation phase that is expected to last until the early August 2017.

Macroeconomic Outlook

In June, FED has raised the target range of the federal funds' rate to a range of 1.00% to 1.25%, the third consecutive quarterly increase. This is the higher level of US funds rates since the financial crisis of 2008. This move corresponds to a record US jobs growth and to the lowest level of unemployment rate in 16 years. The Fed also made a statement about reducing its enormous bond portfolio. After three rounds of quantitative easing, the Fed holds $4.5 trillion of bonds (including $1.8 trillion of mortgage securities). Meanwhile, EURUSD moved higher as President Draghi gave a signal for a monetary policy change and the potential for a stronger Euro.
