Daily Report: Euro Shrugs off Portugal Downgrade, AUD & CAD Even Stronger

Euro shrugs off Portugal downgrade and remains firm against dollar, sterling and swissy today.

The rating agency noted that " increased political uncertainty could hurt market confidence and heighten Portugal’s refinancing risk" and it will take "at least two months to both hold elections and to form a new government". The rating agency also warned the another one notch downgrade as early as next week depending on the final outcome of EU summit on ESM and the likelihood Portuguese government bondholders become subject to a restructuring. This also followed Fitch's two notch downgrade of Portugal yesterday.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: USD/CHF – Hold short entered at 0.9090

Despite yesterday's sharp retreat from 0.9124 to 0.9029, as the greenback has rebounded after holding above the Ichimoku cloud, suggesting further consolidation would take place, however, as long as said resistance at 0.9124 holds, mild downside bias remains for another retreat to the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 0.9046) but break of yesterday's low at 0.9029 is needed to confirm top has been formed

Trade Idea: GBP/USD – Hold long entered at 1.6100

Although the British pound fell again after overnight brief bounce from 1.6133 to 1.6217 and dropped again to 1.6091 yesterday on cross-selling against euro, as price has rebounded from there, consolidation with mild upside bias is seen for another rebound. Above said minor resistance at 1.6217 would suggest low is possibly formed, then retracement of this week's selloff would take place to yesterday's high at 1.6266
