Vista Brokers: EUR / USD Update Lows
On Thursday, the euro was mainly declining against the US dollar, although as Vista Brokers analysts say, fundamental background for the major currency pair was saturated and mixed. The trading day began with the news that the Greek parliament had passed the first bills, which the Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his team agreed with creditors. It would seem that it is positive information for the euro, but it has forced investors to focus on the problem that Tsipras has ceased to enjoy the support of his party, which puts his premiership into question.
Given that the situation in Greece is more or less stabilized, and it became clear that the country will receive, at least, the first tranche, has returned the market to the subject of Fed's interest rate hike. The Fed's head Janet Yellen has reiterated in her yesterday's speech, that the US central bank is going to raise the rate this year. She noted, again, that the regulator will monitor statistics, which should show a stable economic recovery.
Yesterday's weekly data on the number of initial applications for unemployment insurance in the United States, has showed a further decline by 15 000; the number of counting claims also fell more than expected. Thus the Philly Fed manufacturing index has fallen to 4-month low of 5.7, while analysts had expected a decline to only 11.9.
Among important events of Thursday, should be noted also a press conference of the ECB President Mario Draghi, who reiterated that the European Central Bank is going to use the program of quantitative easing in the previously announced volume. Amid this the euro has fallen against the dollar to a 7-week low.
USD / CAD. Bulls Try to Consolidate Success
The pair's growth is currently capped at 161.8% Fibonacci extension of the May growth wave. Meanwhile prospects of rising momentum remain. Today we expect important publications on the situation with the rate of inflation in the United States and Canada, which market players prefer not to underestimate (that is why many of them are still “sitting on the fence”). The Bank of Canada interest rate cut (and the possibility of further lowerimg) on the one hand,and expectations of monetary tightening by the Fed on the other hand have to find their fundamental basis in today's data.
Vista Brokers analysts point that the baseline scenario intends holding of long positions. The nearest resistance level is a 2009 high (1.3063). The strategic target is the correctional level of 61.8% of the wave of decline in the period 2001-2007 at 1.3460.

GOLD. Risks Move towards Further Decline
Loss of interest in buying gold amid the positive result of situations with Greece and Iran, led yellow metal quotes to the lowest level in the past eight months. A break of this support would be a catalyst for the acceleration of the current wave of decline.

Vista Brokers: Fundamental Background Supported Dollar
On Friday, the dollar has increased to the highest in the last month and a half level relative to other major currencies. Vista Brokers analysts say that the American currency was supported with fresh statistics from the USA, which gave another argument to expect the Fed's rate hike in the near future. Recall that the head of the Federal Reserve Janet Yellen has recently confirmed that the rate will be increased this year, but only if the statistics satisfy the regulator.
Over the past week data were multi-directional, but in general, the situation in the US economy looks optimistic, especially when compared with the euro area with its debt crisis and a slowing Chinese economy. On Friday was published data on changes in the consumer price index, and as forecasts had predicted, in June the index rose by 0.3% mom and by 0.1% yoy.
Also note that the data on the real estate market, namely building permits and housing starts in the United States came out much better than expected. A fly in the ointment was only the index of consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan, which in July has dropped from 96.1 to 93.3 vs. 96.0. Nevertheless, the dollar index has increased by 0.20% to 97.97 (maximum from June 2). The EUR / USD has finished the day at around 1.08287.
