Vista Brokers: Talks on Iran Are Close to Completion
On Monday, oil prices on the world market are falling in price. Vista Brokers analysts note that the pressure on the "black gold" has the fact that Iran and six world powers have almost come to an agreement on Iran's nuclear program.

Vista Brokers: Euro Fell after Long-Awaited Decision on Greece
Protracted negotiations of Greece and its creditors, a technical default, closed banks ... all of this recently was keeping markets in suspense, making quotes to forget about technical patterns and surrender into the hands of fundamental ones. On Monday, the "Greek saga" has reached the final - Athens with international creditors agreed on a three-year financial bailout program.
Vista Brokers analysts say that the euro has responded to a long-awaited decision with a decline against the US dollar. Firstly, the decision was put in prices earlier, and secondly, when the Greek question was decided the topic of the Fed's interest rate hike came to the fore again.
So, Greece will receive 86 billion euros under the program of financial assistance during the next three years. Such a statement was made by German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a press conference following the summit of the euro zone countries, which has lasted 17 hours. Athens will receive financial assistance in return for serious pension reform, tax increases, mass privatization, the reform of the product, the pharmaceutical industry and more. By 15 July the government should take 15 measures (laws), and by July 22 - 22. If the Greek Parliament starts to pass new laws, the country will receive the first 7 billion euros until July 20. The market continues to closely monitor the course of events.
Vista Brokers: Oil Continues to Fall
During Tuesday's Asian trading, oil prices continued to decline. Vista Brokersanalysts note a strong pressure on the market, that has negotiations on Iran, which are coming to an end, as well as expected release of crude oil reserves data in the United States.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange August futures for WTI crude oil have declined today by 0.80% to $ 51.78 per barrel. Meanwhile, on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), Brent contracts for August delivery have reached a session high of $ 59.14 a barrel, before dipping to $58.17, down 0.81 or 1.38%earlier.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) will report today about the increase / decrease of crude oil inventories, and the US Department of Energy will do it tomorrow. Last week, the data could surprise investors and analysts. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), crude oil inventories in the USA have risen for the week ended July 3 by 400,000 barrels instead of the expected decline by 500 000. Thus, the volume of reserves has reached 465.8 million barrels, the highest level in the last 80 years. Growth "black gold" production and the development of shale deposits in the United States are among the reasons that led to oversupply in the oil market. That is why oil traders are watching the situation so closely.
As for Iran, on Monday afternoon, the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that no agreement on the country's nuclear program will be concluded before the expiry of the deadline. Recall that the deadline for negotiations between Tehran and six world powers was postponed three times in recent weeks. However, White House representatives noted that that "genuine progress," had been made in the negotiations in spite of the further delays.
Completion of negotiations on Iran, followed by international sanctions lifting is a bearish signal for the oil market, as Tehran said that 30 million barrels are in reserves and ready to go for export. Although the country will take time to restore its former position, for the oil market it means oversupply increasing.

Vista Brokers: Gold Declines prior to US Statistics
On Tuesday, gold is declining. Vista Brokers analysts note that all investors' attention today is focused on the data on retail sales, which will be published later in the USA. Now, when the Greek problem is solved, the focus of the market is on further recovery of the US economy and the Fed's rate hike. Demand for risky assets is growing.
During European trading, gold futures for August delivery on the Comex have fallen by 0.15% to $ 1,153.70 per troy ounce. A day earlier, the gold sank to the lowest level since March at $ 1,144.80 before closing at $ 1,155.40 (-0.22%). Silver for September delivery has fallen today by 0.83% to $ 15.32 per ounce.

Today in the United States will be published data on retail sales and business inventories, and forecasts are rather optimistic. Tomorrow the Fed's head will speak ahead of the Senate Banking Committee. If today's statistics is strong and Yellen's comments are optimistic, gold can update lows.
Market Outlook According to the Method of Bill Williams: GOLD
We continue to hold the short position from 1157.97. In recent 24 hours we have received signals to add to the position from the "red zone", as well as from the AC indicator - "zero crossing" and "2 red bars below zero." Meanwhile the market remains calm enough, but it is likely that players will activate soon, namely after today's retail sales data release in the United States.
Volatility: 25%
Trend: bearish

Market Outlook According to the Method of Bill Williams:USD/JPY
We continue to hold the position to buy from 122.87, but the current value of the red Alligator's line (122.51) does not guarantee us a positive outcome. Thus, the market is consolidating after local highs breakthrough, but gives us the opportunity to add volume in accordance with System signals - we have "green zone" signals and "2 green bars above zero" on the AC.
Volatility: 64%
Trend: bullish
Fundamental background: moderate
Market Outlook According to the Method of Bill Williams:EUR/USD
After a positive decision of European authorities on Greece a downward trend in the single currency continues (at least if we take near-term), and this has involved us to the sale position after fractal down level breakthrough (1.0989). However, judging by the dynamics of the pair, the market has not completely determined with the direction, which means that we should be ready to respond to a possible reversal and the position closure.
Volatility: 70%
Trend: sideways
Fundamental background: moderate
Market Outlook According to the Method of Bill Williams: GBP/USD
The position to buy from 1.5551 is no longer relevant after one of the bars closure below the red Alligator's line. Nevertheless, market participants have made a new attempt to storm recent highs – a breakthrough of the fractal level at 1.5589.
Volatility: 40%

Vista Brokers: Market Is Full of Doubts
On Tuesday, the EUR / USD was trading within a wide price range. Vista Brokersanalysts say that after the strong decline of the euro, following the prior agreement on the Greek financial bailout program, the market could not determine the direction amid the saturated fundamental background.
Will the Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras convince the Greek parliament to pass laws that are required to receive a tranche? In the first half of the day the euro was pressured with the fact that Greece will take four of required laws, including painful pension and tax reforms before the deadline on Wednesday. Amid this the EUR / USD has touched a week low at 1.0967.
During the US trading session in the USA were published important data, which were in general not so optimistic, as the market had expected. In June, retail sales in the US have fallen by 0.3% against the forecasted growth of 0.2%. The May data was revised down. Statistics on business inventories was in a line with forecast (+ 0.3%).
After such statistics market has returned to concerns about the US economic growth in the second quarter, and as a result, the Fed's interest rate hike. Today is the day, very saturated with the information, and the Fed's head Janet Yellen speech will draw the particularly strong attention. Her comments can zoom or delay the rate increase waiting times.
