Here\u2019s an update on the EURUSD or  the fiber as what they call it on Wall Street. The last time I covered  the pair (please see my previous post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/2010\/08\/24\/euro-breaks-out-but-to-the-downside-august-24-2010\/\">here<\/a>),  it had just broken down from a head and shoulders formation. Since  then, the pair has rallied to form what appears to be a rising wedge  pattern. In case you do not know, a wedge is generally a continuation  pattern as it just represent a short term rebound in prices. Such rally  could be due to profit taking or short covers. At present, the pair is  encountering some resistance at the neckline of the head and shoulders.  If it\u2019s unable to move past the neckline and it falls below the support  of the rising wedge, it could slip at least back to 1.2600 level.  Further weakness could push it all the way down to the previous low at  1.2150.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the week for the euro zone will be the the European  Central Bank\u2019s monetary policy decision on Thursday (September 2). The  ECB is expected to hold its interest rates again at 1.00% following a  drop in German yields. 30-year yield, for your information, have dropped  to below 3.00%. And despite the \u201ccheap\u201d borrowing costs, inflation at  least in Germany remains subdued. In fact, the latest month-over-month  German CPI reading reads at 0.00%. With consumption and inflation low,  the ECB would likely be a little dovish about its short term forecast on  the euro zone\u2019s economy as a whole. Such could then send investors back  to the safety of the USD.<\/p>\n<p>More on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/\">LaidTrades.com<\/a> &#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day to you my Forex friends!
