European Forex Trading Preview


raders continued to punish the greenback following yesterday¡¯s unprecedented rate cut by the FOMC to lower its key interest rate to a target range of 0 to 0.25%. The dollar plunged to a fresh 13-year low against the yen at 87.16 and a new two-month low versus the euro, losing nearly 5-big figures for its largest one-day decline to 1.4437.With the Japanese currency trading at its highest level in over a decade, markets will remain vigilant against possibly BoJ intervention. Government officials have offered conflicting sentiments with Chief Cabinet Secretary Kawamura expressing his desire for the Bank to Japan to take appropriate action to stem the currency¡¯s sharp gains. However, Japan¡¯s Finance Minister Nakagawa said intervening in the currency market was not a consideration at this point, suggesting the movements had not been too sharp. With trading volume likely to wind down over the coming holidays, we would not rule out the possibility for the Bank of Japan to step in during thinly traded markets to quickly move the dollar/yen pair back toward the 100-level.The dollar breached through several key support levels against the majors, suggesting the sell-off may pick up steam over the coming sessions. With thin markets expected over the coming weeks, we anticipate heightened volatility that could possibly send the euro toward 1.4865.


Important Forex Trading Terms


The spread is the difference between the price that you can sell currency at (Bid) and the price you can buy currency at (Ask). The spread on majors is usually 3 pips under normal market conditions. For more information on the trading conditions at Saxo Bank, go to the Account Summary on your Client Station and open the section entitled “Trading Conditions” found in the top right-hand corner of the Account Summary.* PipsA pip is the smallest unit by which a cross price quote changes. When trading Forex you will often hear that there is a 3-pip spread when you trade the majors. This spread is revealed when you compare the bid and the ask price, for example EURUSD is quoted at a bid price of 0.9875 and an ask price of 0.9878. The difference is USD 0.0003, which is equal to 3 “pips”.On a contract or position, the value of a pip can easily be calculated. You know that the EURUSD is quoted with four decimals, so all you have to do is cancel out the four zeros on the amount you trade and you will have the value of one pip. Thus, on a EURUSD 100,000 contract, one pip is USD 10. On a USDJPY 100,000 contract, one pip is equal to 1000 yen, because USDJPY is quoted with only two decimals.
