Investors found both U.S. and eurozone have serious debt problems and even U.S. just passed the U.S. debt ceiling bill in the House of Reps by 269-161, concerns remain over the U.S. top credit rating will face an inevitable downgrade by major rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's and Moody's.

RBA Stands Aside Despite Concerns About Inflation

The RBA left the cash rate unchanged at 4.75%. While this was the consensus forecast, a handful of analysts had anticipated a rate hike while some expected a cut. The split reflected the uncertainty in Australia's economy which is facing both the risk of slowdown and the threat of higher inflation. Apart from domestic economic developments, the central bank's decision was also affected by debt problems in the US and Eurozone. While policymakers in both sides of the Atlantic have agreed on measures that helped alleviate near-term concerns, long-term plans are still unavailable to solve the core problems – to lower deficits.

ECB To Stand Aside In August But Will Continue To 'Monitor' Price Stability 'Very Closely'

As economic and sentiment data released since the last meeting have weakened, the ECB will put more focus on the downside risk in economic growth in the August meeting.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea Update: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.6365

Despite intra-day brief breach of 1.6238, lack of follow through selling and current rebound from 1.6224 suggest consolidation above this level would take place and retracement to 1.6300 and possibly intra-day high of 1.6329 cannot be ruled out, however, reckon the Ichimoku cloud bottom (now at 1.6368) would limit upside and bring another decline later. A break of said support would extend decline from yesterday’s high of 1.6477 for a stronger retracement of recent upmove to 1.6195-00

Trade Idea: USD/CAD – Sell at 0.9635

Although the greenback has continued to edge higher and the corrective rise from 0.9407 (formed last week) may bring a stronger retracement of recent decline to 0.9635-38 (previous resistance and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of 0.9780 to 0.9407), reckon renewed selling interest would emerge there and bring another decline later. A break of yesterday’s low at 0.9492 would suggest the rebound from 0.9407 has possibly ended and bring test of 0.9458
