EUR/USD: euro will drop to 1.3100 Current trend At the end of last week European currency strengthened against the USD despite poor economic statistics in most of European countries. Business activity index in the manufacturing sector of France fell below the level of 50 points. It is just Germany economy which is dragging EU. Economic data from Germany was above expectations.

Brent: general analysis Current trend Crude oil Brent is trading in the narrow range of 111.61 - 110.32. Oil market participants try to reduce risks since in accordance with preliminary information US reserves of oil products will increase again. If this forecast is confirmed, uptrend may weaken. Geopolitical factor shall be also taken into account: Iran has coordinated its nuclear program with the leading counties of the world. Therefore, volumes of oil production in the Persian Gulf will not decline. This fact reduces the risk of late delivery of “black gold”. Support and resistance Technical indicators show that uptrend will continue and the only obstacle is resistance level of 111.61. Breakdown of this level will open the way to 112.00 and 112.45. The level of RSI has reached overbought zone, suggesting a chance of correction. Support level is 110.39. Trading tips It is recommended to open short positions after breakdown of the level of 110.39 with the target of 108.20 and protective order near 110.50.

GBP/USD: GDP statistics supported the Pound Current trend On Wednesday the pair GBP/USD continued to strengthen. The rise was driven by preliminary GDP for Q3, as the data confirmed significant growth of British economy. GDP has grown by 1.5% on annual basis, which is the highest value since 2010. On the other hand, the American dollar is under pressure from the decrease in number of orders for durable goods in October. Amid these facts, quotes of GBP/USD rose to the highs since January at the level of 1.6327. Support and resistance It is expected that in near future quotes will go up to the levels of 1.6360 and 1.6400. However we cannot rule out a chance of correction to the level of 1.6280, especially if today’s speech of the head of the Ban of England will get negative assessment of investors. On the four-hour chart technical indicators confirm possibility of growth. Bollinger bands demonstrate divergence, confirming uptrend; the price chart is breaking down the upper moving average line, suggesting correction. MACD histogram is in the positive zone, its volumes are increasing. Stochastic lines are ready to move to the overbought zone and form a buy signal. Trading tips In the current situation it makes sense to open long positions at the current price with profit taking near 1.6400.
