The Swiss franc is having a one sided summer, thanks to the global slowdown.
Even a sophisticated intervention attempt by the SNB was short lived, and failed to stop the franc.
The debt crisis in the old continent and the debt ceiling issues in the US meant a stronger Swiss franc across the board, with fresh records against both major currencies.
Where will this stop?
*The Euro is still unclear and it seems that investors are waiting for some kind of a trigger to determine the direction. Monday is French & Italian holidays, so the Euro might by numb until Tuesday. Then, there is an important data such as the German GDP and building permits in the US.
*The 200 SMA is still a strong supportive area for the Euro, and as long as it remains above that support it will have better chances for rising towards 1.44 and above. A break-down can take the Euro down to 1.385.

*EUR attempted a rally last week but found resistance at 1.4516 and pulled back.
*As we have noted before, the key resistance level on the daily chart is 1.4530/40 and only a firm move abv there will indicate the next leg higher is under way.
*Until that happens, EUR/USD is in trading range.

GBP/USD:Pound trading flat this morning
For the 24 hours to 23:00 GMT, GBP rose 0.37% against the USD and closed at 1.6409.
The pair opened the Asian session at 1.6409, and is trading at 1.6408 at 3.00GMT. GBP is trading flat versus USD from yesterday’s close at 23:00 GMT.
*The GBP/USD may continue its drop if data from the U.K. or other global economies remained bearish as it will increase the appeal of the dollar as a safe haven. On the hand, the dollar may remain boosted by the $447 billion jobs stimulus plan proposed by president Obama the pervious week.
*This week, the main attention will be on inflation data from both economies as it will give an update about inflation status amid expectations that there might be monetary intervention by the Fed on Sep. 20-21 meeting and by the BoE later in the year.
Traders and investors must follow the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) very closely. The major stock market indexes are trading inverse to the U.S. Dollar Index at this time. If the DXY declines or pulls back intra-day the major stock indexes will inflate and trade higher. The opposite is true if the DXY trades higher, obviously the major stock indexes will deflate and decline lower…[by wallstreetpit]
Moreover, Kiwi advanced as stock gains boosted demand for risky assets and also growth linked currencies like kiwi, along with the cheerful data from the Chinese economy, where China’ industrial production continued to accelerate, adding that New Zealand products will increase this period because the Chinese market is the largest market for New Zealand goods…(By fxempire)
I am neutral on USD/JPY.
While the pair finally closed above 77 and has room for gains in the long run, it is hard to see the pair making a serious move right now. The high level of optimism probably won’t be repeated right now.[forexcrunch]
The Canadian dollar made more gains against the US dollar and crossed the line of parity. GDP and employment data are the major events this week. Here’s an outlook for the Canadian events and an updated technical analysis for USD/CAD.[forexcrunch]

USD/CAD bounced this past week as traders sold off a lot of risk-related assets globally. The pair finished strongly above the parity level, and as such has us thinking long at this point. However, the 1.03 area will be resistive, and as such we are waiting for a close above it in order to buy. The selling of this pair can be done if we break the lows of this past week’s candle. Until then, we think this market goes sideways.[by fxempire]

*Our overall outlook for crude oil prices is bearish, as the outlook for global growth is worsening due to mounting concerns from Europe and the fact that major economies around the globe are still weak, and that should put negative pressure on crude oil prices.
*Traders will be awaiting the infamous jobs report from the United States on Friday, and a strong figure could boost optimism and push crude oil prices higher. [Topcommodities Net]

CL had a positive day for the Friday session as traders continue to buy commodities in general. The market looks like it wants to attempt a breakout above the recent highs of $103 and if it does – this could be the beginning of the next massive leg up in the market. However, we expect the area to actually be more resistance than the market is ready to go up against at the moment. We are buyers, but will need to see a pullback first.

The pair XAU/USD found support yesterday just above 1700 points and now
validated a return above 1725 points.
Indicators stay globaly bearish.
We stay neutral on the pair between 1725 and 1750.
We advise to wait an exit of this range to take position:
Long if 1750 is broken. The breakout of 1775 points will give a new buy signal.
Short if 1725 is broken. The breakout of 1700 will give a new sell signal.

…In the bigger picture, there is still no clear sign of long term trend reversal yet and price actions from 1923.7 would still be finally unfolded as correction/consolidation only. Though, the consolidation pattern would likely extend below 1923.7 for a while and rally attempt should face strong resistance near to this level. We’d anticipate another falling leg before such consolidation completes. And in such case, downside should be contained by 1478.3/1577.4 support zone…[by oilngold]
Gold dropped to as low as 1562.5 last week before forming a temporary low there and recovered. Initial bias is neutral this week for some consolidations. But recovery should be limited below 1667.1 support turned resistance and bring another fall. Below 1562.5 will target 1535 key support and below…[by oilngold]
