Message: [QUOTE="MikhailLF, post: 157921, member: 42242"] [b]LiteForex analitics. Morning Market Review[/b] USD strengthened moderately against most majors during today's Asian session, after an active decline on Monday, caused by the publication of weak data on ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI, which was worse than expected and fell to 57.6 points in December from 60.7 points a month earlier. Investors reacted to this statistics by selling the US currency. The growth of the instrument observed during the Asian session is of a technical nature. Macroeconomic statistics able to influence USD include JOLTs Job Openings (17:00 GMT+2). EUR/USD Quotes of the EUR/USD pair, supported by positive statistics on retail sales in the euro area, and amid a general weakening of the US currency, rose to 1.1483, however, during Asian trading, they corrected to the level of 1.1441. Today, investors will pay attention to statistics on the Business Climate in the euro area. The indicator is expected to fall to 0.99 points in December from 1.09 points a month earlier. If the forecast proves right, the euro may fall under pressure. GBP/USD Quotes of the pair GBP/USD increased to 1.2770 due to the decline of USD. Today, investors are waiting for the publication of data on Halifax House Price Index. It is predicted that the value of the indicator in annual terms will rise to 0.4% in December from 0.3% a month earlier, and in monthly terms it will rise to 0.5% in December from –1.4% a month earlier. USD/JPY Quotes of the pair USD/JPY show moderate positive dynamics reaching the level of 108.75. Due to the absence of macroeconomic releases from Japan, the movement of the pair's exchange rate will be affected by US statistics. AUD/USD Quotes of the AUD/USD pair are moving within the narrow range of 0.7113–0.7148 having changed only slightly. Published at night, data from Australia indicated a decrease in the trade balance surplus to 1.930 billion dollars in November from 2.316 billion dollars a month earlier, but did not affect the rate of the instrument significantly. Gold During the Asian session, quotes of gold fell to 1282.00 due to correction of USD. [/QUOTE]
