Forecast for the week September 22, 2014 - September 26, 2014

According to last week's results, the world's reserve currency has significantly strengthened in the FOREX market against the background of a reduction in the US FRS monthly program of QE3 asset purchases down to 15 billion dollars. We believe that the growth of long-term interest rates on the US government bonds will facilitate the settlement of carry trade transactions in the EURUSD and USDJPY pairs.

At the end of this week, attention should be paid to the third estimate of the US GDP for the 2nd quarter of 2014. A revision of the growth rates for the US key macroeconomic indicators from 4.2% (m/ m) to 4.6% (m/ m) will increase the likelihood of increasing the federal funds rate in Q.1 2015. During the week, the EURUSD pair may be lower to the 1.2750 level, and the USDJPY pair may test the 110.00 mark.

After the referendum held in Scotland, which turned out to be a success for the UK, a resumption of demand for British assets can be expected. In relation to the GBPUSD pair, which came down by 2 figures on September 19, opening a long position at the support level of 1.6250 should be considered.

On September 23, the Aussie, Kiwi and Loonie commodity currencies will closely monitor the HSBC bank's preliminary evaluation of the business activity index in China's manufacturing sector. The projected September decline in the PMI index from 50.2 p. to 50.0 p., will emphasize the correct control measures taken by the Chinese regulator in order to stimulate the national economy. During the week, the pair AUDUSD, NZDUSD and USDCAD may test the 0.8850, the 0.8050 and the 1.1000 respectively.

Forecast for the week 29.09.2014-03.10.2014

Last Friday, a revision of the US GDP from 4.2% (q/q) to 4.6% (q/q) for Q2 2014 helped the world's reserve currency to significantly strengthen its position in the FOREX market.
This week, the September statistics on the US labor market is capable of making the dollar bulls happy. Despite its significantly overbought value, the USDJPY pair will probably close above the 110.00 mark on October 3rd.

Strengthening of the dollar and the continued fall in commodity prices may adversely affect the Aussie, the Kiwi and the Loonie. During the week, we expect them to reduce to the levels of 0.8660, 0.7750 and 1.1250, respectively.

On Thursday 2 October, the foreign currency market participants will listen carefully to the ECB president M.Dragi's speech, who is likely to announce the launch of the parameters for the ABS program of asset purchases in the euro zone. In the context of an expansion of the money supply in the euro zone, the euro can be expected to decline to the 1.2600 level.

This week, the pound will discount the data on the balance of payments, the final assessment of the country's GDP for Q2 2014, as well as the September business activity indices in the UK's manufacturing and service sectors. Given the close relationship of the British and European economies, the reduction of the latter will probably hit not only the value of the euro, but also that of the pound. We assume that the GBPUSD pair will fall to the 1.6165 support level.

This week, the euro may fall to the level of 1.2400

Last week, the publication of the September labor market statistics in the US has considerably strengthened the position of the world's reserve currency in the FOREX market . Note that the drop in the unemployment rate in the United States to 5.9% will speed up the process of tightening monetary policy in the country. Our estimates suggest that the growth of the federal funds rate to 0.5% will be held at the end of Q1 2015.

Against the background of the imminent start of the program of purchases of securities in the eurozone, medium-term risks of euro's decline to the level of 1.2200 remain high. This week, we do not exclude the EUR/USD pair testing the level of 1.2400 due to the potential reduction of the industrial production and net exports in Germany and France in August.

On Thursday, October 9th pay attention to the meeting of the Bank of England. It is expected that in the context of low inflation of 1.5% (y/y) the British regulator will keep its key interest rate in the country at 0.5%, and will also leave unchanged the amount of asset purchases at 375 billion pounds. The GBPUSD pair will probably fall to the level of 1.5860.

Aussie could become the outsider this week The decline in employment in Australia for 30 thousand people expected in September together with a rise in unemployment to 6.2% will force investors to sell the AUD/USD pair . By the end of the week, we can not rule out the Aussie lowering to the level of 0.8550.

Forecast for the week October 13, 2014 - October 17, 2014

Last week, the negative IMF forecasts of future growth of the world economy intensified the folding of the carry trade operations in global financial markets before the expected completion of the QE3 program in the United States in October.

This week, attention should be paid to the final assessment of the euro zone's GDP for Q2 2014, as well as to the statistics on inflation and industrial production. After the statement made by the IMF chief Christine Lagarde that the euro zone's economy will slide into a recession with a probability of 40%, doubts about this disappeared. The Ukrainian crisis, being the main reason for the decline of investment growth in the euro zone is likely to continue until the end of this year, which will allow market participants to see new lows for the euro. In the short term, the EURUSD pair will probably retest the support level of 1.2500.

The dynamics USDJPY pair will be linked to the statistics on industrial production and retail sales in the United States. Despite the expected growth for these indicators, we can not rule out the dollar's decline to 107 yen as part of its adjustment to the growth.

The British currency still looks indefinite in relation to its future trajectory of motion. This week, it can be put into a stupor by the UK's volatile macroeconomic statistics. On the one hand, a decline in the unemployment rate in the country to 6.1% is expected, and on the other hand- there is the September decline in inflation to 1.4%. In the short term, the Brit will, apparently, once again, test the 1.5950 support level before seizing the initiative from its American counterpart.

MAP Audit confirms EXNESS' record trading volume in September

Dear clients and partners,

EXNESS Group is pleased to announce that in September 2014 its clients' trading volume reached the record level of 191.38 billion USD. As is customary, the financial report has been certified by an independent external auditor*.

In the past month the trading volume has grown to 19.61 billion USD. The trading took place on the accounts of more than 38,000 EXNESS clients. The most popular financial instrument in September was EURUSD (90.7 billion USD – 47% of the total trading volume across all instruments).

Gas will "determine" the euro zone's future



This week, the trilateral meeting on gas for Russia, the EU and Ukraine, which will be held on October 21 in Brussels, will be of high importance for the Europeans. If Ukraine really pays off a part of its debt for gas to the Russian Federation, we can expect a growth in demand for the euro, now acting as a risky asset. During the week, the EURUSD pair will probably test the 1.2900 level. In case the EU lifts the sanctions against the Russian Federation, the euro's growth could be hypothecated above the 1.3000 level, once defined by M. Draghi as being "fair" for the second currency in the world.

This week, the British pound may drop to around 1.6000 due to possible slowing down of the British economy's annual growth rates from 3.2% to 3.0% in Q3 2014.

After the USDJPY pair has tested the 2013 maximum at the 105.50 level, the dollar is likely to resume its growth up to 107.50 yen. On October 22, the dollar bulls should pay special attention to the data on consumer price inflation in the United States, whose growth rate in September is likely to remain at 1.7% per annum.

Some anxiety for the future of the commodity exchange was caused by the concerns of a slowdown in the Chinese economy in Q3 2014 from 7.5% to 7.2% in annualized terms. We believe that lowering of the Aussie to the annual support level of 0.8650 will attract new customers.

EXNESS and WWF have joined forces to restore rare and vanishing animal species



As part of projects to protect animals, EXNESS and WWF Russia have joined forces to restore the Persian leopard population in the Caucasus and the Siberian tiger population in central Sikhote-Alin. These special projects, which are being implemented with EXNESS' support, will help preserve and restore these subspecies.

Not long ago the Persian leopard was spread quite broadly in the Caucasus and inhabited virtually all of the region's mountainous areas, but due to intensified extermination at the end of the last century its numbers have fallen sharply. It has almost disappeared from Russia. In 2007 WWF Russia advanced an initiative to restore the rare leopard subspecies in the Russian Caucasus. With the participation of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a program was developed to restore (reintroduce) the Persian leopard to the Caucasus.

The program is being implemented by the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology in collaboration with the Sochi National Park, the Caucasus Reserve, Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Ecological and Evolution Issues, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the Moscow Zoo. The restoration of the leopard population is not only a matter of concern for scientists and public agencies, but also people and businesses who want to demonstrate social responsibility.

The Siberian tiger has met a similar fate. The ongoing human-induced destruction of habitats and the poaching and illegal sales of tigers, and tiger body parts and derivatives seriously threaten the subspecies' fate. The new five-year program to preserve the tiger population at the Sikhote-Alin Reserve began by reinforcing the technical capabilities, expanding the size of the anti-poaching brigade, and monitoring the state of the Reserve.

In 2014 our company also joined the effort to protect and restore the population of rare animals. Thanks to EXNESS' support, WWF plans to continue the restoration of the Persian leopard by creating, in captivity, conditions similar to the natural environment in order to prepare a group of leopards to be released into the wild. In order to develop, animals require not only food and care, but also special structures that imitate the natural landscape and allow the leopards to develop their dexterity and strength. And to observe the leopards after their release into nature, the Fund and EXNESS will purchase special radio collars and equipment to broadcast information about the animals' movements.

EXNESS will also support WWF Russia's work to preserve the Siberian tiger. Specifically, the infrastructure at the Sikhote-Alin Reserve will be improved by cleaning paths for employees' movements and building at least four inspection huts on the Reserve.

EXNESS believes it is important and proper to support wildlife and thus assist the growth of the environment in which we live. EXNESS is proud to contribute to the restoration of the populations of rare animals and to partner with one of the world's largest independent nature conservation organizations.

EXNESS announces trading volumes to be audited by Deloitte



EXNESS has today announced that its trading volumes will be audited by the world’s largest auditing firm, Deloitte, and that it experienced record trading volumes of US$192,43 billion during September.

Since January 2014, EXNESS has been the only retail Forex broker to have its trading volumes audited by an independent auditor and, moving ahead, Deloitte take over auditing the figures on a quarterly basis.

Victor Masalov, Director of Product Development at EXNESS, comments: “Trust is a critical factor for traders when choosing a retail Forex broker because traders want the reassurance that they are with a broker who will be a transparent and trusted partner. For the past 9 months, EXNESS has had audited trading figures and our link up with Deloitte, one of the world’s most respected auditing firms, offers our clients greater transparency than any other retail Forex broker.”

EXNESS has announced trading volume of US$192,43 billion in September. More than 39,000 EXNESS unique clients traded during the month, with the most popular financial instrument being EUR/USD at US$93,1 billion, accounting for 48% of the total trading volume across all instruments. In second place was GBP/USD at US$44,9 billion, with USD/JPY rounding out the top three at $US24 billion.

EXNESS has also announced today record trading figures of US$198,78 billion in October. During the month, EXNESS also experienced its highest ever trading volumes in a single day - a record US$11,3 billion on 15th October.

Download report here.

More than 38,000 EXNESS unique clients traded during the month, with the most popular financial instrument being EUR/USD at US$98,47 billion.

Sergey Kochergin, Senior Analyst at EXNESS, comments: “In October we saw a number of significant macroeconomic events that influenced volatility and therefore the attractiveness of specific trades. For example, in the US the minimisation of QE3 led to the formation of a clear growing trend in the US dollar, which traders capitalised on. The increase or resumption of quantitative easing programmes in Japan and the Eurozone certainly led to an increase in trading activity in the Yen and Euro cross rates, with us seeing a near doubling of USD/JPY trades since August.”

In the medium term, the euro could test the 1.2600 level

This week, the publication of industrial production and consumer price index in the United States will attract investors' attention. We believe the slowdown in the US inflation rate expected in October, will largely be due to a drop in oil prices.

On November 17, the USDJPY currency pair will likely to show an increased volatility due to publication of Japan's GDP for Q3 2014. During the week, the dollar may again test the level of 116.8 yen.

This week, buyers of the euro will be monitoring the dynamics of Germany ZEW's business sentiment index with agitation, as well as the business activity indicators in the manufacturing sector and the service sector in the euro-zone. By the end of the week, the euro is likely to consolidate above the 1.2600 level.

November 18 is worth paying attention to the price statistics of the UK. If in October, the country's consumer price index will exceed 1.2% (y/y), the GBPUSD pair could test the 1.5800 level.

On November 20, we will find out the data on the producer price index in New Zealand Q3 2014. The expected increase in inflationary pressures in the country may allow the NZDUSD pair to test the 0.8000 level.

The actions of the Chinese central bank will help the Aussie

Last Friday, financial markets were shaken by the news of lower interest rates in China. For the first time in 2 years, the annual interest rate in the country decreased from 6,0% to 5,6%, while the deposit rate decreased from 3.00% to 2.75%. As a result of the monetary policy softening in the second world economy, there was a rise in the world stock indices, as well as in the price of oil and gold. We believe that Chinese Central Bank's actions can accelerate the national economy growth from the current 7.3% to 7.5% per annum in 2015.

In the coming weeks, the commodity currency group will probably be able to strengthen against the US dollar. We expect the Aussie to grow to the 0.8800 level, the Kiwi - to the level of 0.8000, and the USDCAD pair to drop to the 1.1100 level.

On November 27, special attention should be paid to the OPEC meeting, where the oil production quotas are expected to be reduced. When this scenario is implemented, the USDCAD in the medium term could be back in the 1,0600-1,0800 range.

After the ECB President M. Draghi promised to stop the development of deflation processes in the euro zone "at any price", the prospects for the euro are still not too bright. Before the end of the year, the EURUSD pair will probably decline to a level of 1.2200.

[Guest EXNESS PR Manager]

Deflation destroys the euro zone



Last Friday, the negative inflation statistics for the euro zone was published, putting the ECB in an awkward position. The European regulator, whose goals include targeting inflation at 2% per year, allowed it to reduce from 0.4% (y/y) to 0.3% (y/y) in November. Weak demand in the euro zone against the background of the sanctions war with the Russian Federation, as well as the 2.5% (y/y) drop in energy prices have provoked an unwinding of the deflationary spiral in the European region. At the same M. Draghi's revolutionary words on the need for an economic union in the euro zone are very pleasing for Berlin, which encourages their younger colleagues to tighten their control of expenses.

However, it is clear that such deep European integration, in which the European states national governments give the control over the finances to Brussels, will not be implemented in the short term. In this regard, we believe that in order to support economic growth and acceleration of inflation in the European region, the ECB will resort to buying the euro zone countries sovereign bonds, including the PIGS countries bonds. Germany will certainly oppose this. On December 4, 2014 Mario Draghi will probably set the record straight.

The chances of the euro declining to 1.2350 by the end of the week, and by the end of 2014 - to the 1.2200 level, remain very high.

[Guest EXNESS PR Manager]

This week, the dominance of the US dollar will continue

Despite the fact that the ECB has postponed the issue of expanding the asset purchases program in the euro zone for Q1 2015, at the end of last week, the EUR/USD pair still declined against the background of a sharp strengthening of the US dollar. The publication of an exceptionally strong November statistics on employment outside the US agricultural sector has provided substantial support for the world's reserve currency. During this week, the euro may fall to the level of 1.2200.

On December 8, the upwards revision of Japan's GDP from - 0.4% (q/q) to -0.1% (q/q) in Q3 2014 may provide support for the Japanese currency. Regular purchases in the USDJPY pair are worth considering near the level of 120.00.

On December 11, it is worthwhile paying attention to the publication of the November employment statistics in Australia. The expected rise in unemployment rate in this country from 6.2% to 6.3% is likely to put pressure on the Aussie. By the end of the week, the AUDUSD pair may decline to around 0.8200.

By the end of the week, the New Zealand dollar is likely to test this year's lows around the 0.7650 level. Factors such as the slowdown in the growth rate for the Chinese economy, as well as the expected rise in interest rates in the US will continue to put pressure on it.

The Swiss currency is unlikely to experience much joy if on December 11, the Swiss Central Bank keeps its key interest rate in the country in the range of 0-0.25%. On this day, at the time of the publication of data on retail sales in the US, the USDCHF pair is, likely to test the 0.9850 level.

This week, the dollar may fall to 117.2 yen

The US Federal Reserve meeting will be this week's key event. On Wednesday, the US regulator will announce the economic forecasts for inflation and GDP growth in the US over the next 2 years. The November decline in the producer price index from 1.7% (y/y) to 1.1% (y/y) in the United States signaled a weakening of inflationary pressures in the world's largest economy. The cold winter in the United States in Q1 2015 can play a mean joke on the US GDP as it did in Q1 2014. The US Central bank is unlikely to take risks and will raise the key rate at the end of Q2 2015 rather that at the beginning.

On Monday, December 15, the preliminary results of the parliamentary elections in Japan will be announced. It is expected that the Liberal Democratic Party, led by current Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will get a comfortable majority. In this case, the implementation of an ultra soft monetary policy in Japan is likely to continue. With the USDJPY pair lowering to the 117.20 support level, opening long positions in the US dollar is worth considering.

In the first half of this week, market participants will learn the latest data on inflation and unemployment in the UK. The expected reduction in both indicators will cause headache for the Bank of England again. According to the forecasts of the S&P agency in 2015, the UK's GDP growth rate will exceed 3% per year. The British regulator will probably raise the rate next year, but earlier than Q3. 2015. During the week, the pound may test the 1.5800 level.
