However, the housing market recovery in <span class=\"GRcorrect\">USA<\/span> is still being driven by &#8220;<span class=\"GRcorrect\">pent-up<\/span> demand. U.S. <span class=\"GRcorrect\">housing<\/span> statistics were disappointing and didn&#8217;t <span class=\"GRcorrect\">come<\/span> as good as expected. The U.S. Bureau of Census commented that applications <span class=\"GRcorrect\">for<\/span> home mortgages actually went down <span class=\"GRcorrect\">in<\/span> August 2012. On the other hand, <span class=\"GRcorrect\">according<\/span> to U.S. Department of Labor jobless benefit claims fell less than the <span class=\"GRcorrect\">expected<\/span> <span class=\"GRcorrect\">on<\/span> September 15.It seemed that the labor market is facing more <span class=\"GRcorrect\">problems<\/span> in the hiring side compared to layoffs. U.K. <span class=\"GRcorrect\">retail<\/span> sales were slow <span class=\"GRcorrect\">during<\/span> August compared to the expectation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Economic <span class=\"GRcorrect\">conditions<\/span> are equally gloomy across the pond in the United Kingdom. Markets <span class=\"GRcorrect\">are<\/span> expecting that <span class=\"GRcorrect\">Central Bank<\/span> of England will be bringing <span class=\"GRcorrect\">new stimulus plan<\/span> <span class=\"GRcorrect\">to<\/span> boost economic activity. So far GBP 375 billion (USD 610 billion) was <span class=\"GRcorrect\">raised<\/span>. According to U.K. Office for National Statistics, retail sales was down -0.2% in August compared to positive 0.3% in July. The British consumer <span class=\"GRcorrect\">confidence<\/span> is still very weak. Inflation is expected to grow and go over <span class=\"GRcorrect\">earning<\/span> growth potential for next six months. Thus, retail sales may fall <span class=\"GRcorrect\">further<\/span> in coming months.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Find out what is the\u00a0<a title=\"best forex trading platform\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bestforextradingplatform.co.uk\/\" target=\"\">best <span class=\"GRcorrect\">forex<\/span> trading platform for beginners<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Interesting <span class=\"GRcorrect\">pairs<\/span> of the Week<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>AUD\/USD<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">It has <span class=\"GRcorrect\">formed<\/span> a classic Fibonacci retracement pattern on the daily chart. The pair <span class=\"GRcorrect\">bounced<\/span> from Fibonacci 38.2% from the previous down move. Based on most of the Technical indicators it is fair to say that it is set for further appreciation. Regardless, our Fibonacci analysis estimates that it has already demonstrated a <span class=\"GRcorrect\">further<\/span> down move. Most indicators are likely to be overbought at this point.
