ECB Might Lower Rates

Yesterday world financial markets were up in the hopes that the ECB’s rates would go down. Weak statistics from the largest European economy only boosted traders’ expectations for additional stimulus measures by the ECB. More clarity will come after the regulator’s meeting 2 May. ECB Vice President Vítor Constâncio contributed to the situation by saying that the ECB still had a possibility to change its rates.

As a result, Britain’s FTSE 100 advanced 0.4% up to 6,431.76 points, France’s CAC 40 grew 1.6% and made 3,842.94 points, Germany’s DAX 30 was up 1.32% and reached 7,759.21 points.

Russia’s indices grew as well, not in the least due to oil prices rising to over $100 per barrel. The MICEX index advanced 2.77% up to 1,377.01 points and the RTS index – 3.11% up to 1,375.40 points.

In the USA the Dow Jones fell 0.29% making 14,676.30 points, the NASDAQ gained 0.01% reaching 3,269.65 points while the S&P 500 grew insignificantly – up to 1,578.79 points.

On the New York Mercantile Exchange the price of WTI oil rose by $2.25 and reached $91.43 per barrel. The price of Brent oil grew more moderately – it was up by $1.42 and made $101.73 per barrel on InterсontinentalExchange Futures Europe.

On Forex EUR/USD went up some but it’s more likely the pair will fall.

Different Directions Once Again…

Early this week the world’s financial markets closed mixed once again due to weak US and Chinese macroeconomic data for the business activity in the manufacturing sector.

Negative Trend with Optimism

Markets closed mixed again. Investors aren’t sure yet how to respond to the budget deficit data – on the one hand, the deficit is huge, on the other hand, it’s better than expected. Thus, in April the US foreign trade balance deficit increased by 3.2 billion dollars, in comparison with the revise figure of 37.1 billion in March, and made 40.3 billion dollars. However, the increase was expected to be up to 41 billion dollars.

The price of July futures for the North Sea petroleum mix of mark Brent Crude Oil rose by $1.18, up to $103.24 per barrel. The price of July futures for light WTI oil lowered by $0.14, down to $93.31 per barrel.

On the foreign currency market, EUR/USD is going up very slowly. Still, there’s no assurance about the current upward trend continuing.

Slump on Stock Markets, Euro Set to Go Up

Mid-week major financial indices had a considerable slump. In Europe Britain’s FTSE 100 finished the trading session with a 2.1 percent fall, down to 6,419.31 points, France’s CAC 40 shed 1.9 percent down to 3,852.44 points while Germany’s DAX 30 finished trading with a 1.2 percent drop, down to 8,196.18 points, after the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City again called to curtail monetary policy easing measures.

In Russia the MICEX index fell 1.11 percent down to 1,326.78 points, and the RTS index went down by 1.61 percent making 1,301.08 points.

In the USA the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down by 1.43 percent and reached 14,960.60 points, the S&P 500 BMI shrank by 1.26 percent down to 1,629.05 points while the hi-tech NASDAQ shed 1.16 percent and made 3,405.32 points.

The price of July futures for the North Sea petroleum mix of mark Brent Crude Oil lowered by $0.20, down to $103.04 per barrel. The price of July WTI oil futures rose by $0.43, up to $93.47 per barrel.

On the global Forex market, EUR/USD is at about the same level. However, there’s an ever clearer double bottom pattern forming on the daily chart. If the pattern is fully formed, it will open up big but long-term prospects for the pair. Nonetheless, first the pair needs to go over 1.3120 and then break through the main resistance level. It’ll require strong fundamental data.

ECB’s Impetus for Euro Growth

On Thursday stock markets finished mixed. As such, in Europe the British FTSE 100 shed 1.3 percent and made 6,336.11 points, the French CAC 40 was down by 1 percent reaching 3,814.28 points while the German DAX 30 dropped 1.19 percent and made 8,098.81 points.

In Russia the MICEX index fell 0.74 percent down to 1,316.92 points, and the RTS index shed 1.09 percent down to 1,286.86 points.

In the USA the Dow Jones grew 0.53 percent making 15,040.62 points, the NASDAQ advanced 0.66 percent reaching 3,404.41 points, and the S&P 500 gained 0.85 percent up to 1,622.56 points.

The European Central Bank downgraded its outlook for eurozone economic growth in 2013 to a 0.6 percent decrease instead of the anticipated 0.5 percent in March. At the same time, the outlook for growth next year was upgraded to 1.1 percent as opposed to 1 percent earlier. In 2013-2014 inflation is expected to be at 1.4 percent and 1.3 percent respectively, which is lower than the regulator’s target of 2 percent. The ECB also decided to keep the base interest rate at 0.5 percent.

With that, on the global Forex market this news was sufficient for EUR/USD to complete the afore-mentioned pattern on the daily chart. The pair even finished the day above the resistance level, which is a good sign of further growth. Now EUR/USD has all chances to start moving upwards. The first target will be 1.3360 whereas the pair is staying at 1.3275 currently.
