The US dollar collapsed after the Fed meeting: make profit on it with NPBFX

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

The US dollar fell sharply to the major currency basket after the recent Fed meeting, the last one of this year. The currency tried to recover yesterday, showing mixed dynamics, and today the US dollar index fell by 0.14% to 93.50 again, moving away from the Friday's top of the two weeks 94.08. The results of the meeting didn’t become a surprise for the market: the US interest rate was increased by a quarter of a percentage point up to the level of 1.25-1.50%. And plans to raise it further for 3 times the next year also remained the same. The regulator maintains positive expectations concerning the economy, raising its prognosis for the GDP growth from 2.1% to 2.5% in 2018. At the same time according to the Central Bank, the next year’s inflation will be below the target value of 1.9%, that gives a chance for a higher rate of interest rate increase.

Why is it important for traders to keep an eye on the interest rate and how does it affect currency?

An interest rate increase in the US leads to dollar strengthening, and this instrument can be used for early forecasting the situation and making a correct trading decision. Also, the interest rate affects the amount of swaps for position transferring.

Many traders practice trading on waiting of changing in the interest rate and make significant profit on it. Now the hope of tax reform realization may become a good support for the dollar. And the Federal Reserve System made it clear that it has nothing against it.

It is very convenient to monitor changes in the US interest rate on the NPBFX analytical portal. Traders can see online the current interest rate (1.5%), as well as the probability of its change in percentages (4.6%) on the graph by months.

The probability chart reflects market expectations about the possible tightening of the FOMC US monetary policy and is calculated on a base of the price of 30-Day Federal Funds Futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The probability of above 50% indicates that more market participants assume the Fed will increase the interest rate by 0.25% at the upcoming meeting. Probabilities below 50% indicate that market participants do not expect the rate to be increased at the nearest meeting. Now the market probability of raising rates more than 50% falls on the March meeting the next year.

EUR/USD: general review 02.01.2018

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

NPBFX offers the latest release of analytics on the EUR/USD for a better understanding of the current market situation and more efficient trading.

Current trend

The EUR/USD pair continues to grow against the background of the weakened dollar. Fixing profits on long dollar positions, as well as weak macroeconomic statistics of recent days from the US continue to put pressure on the USD. So, the EUR/USD rate increased by 0.69% per day to the level of 1.2023.

Today market participants will pay attention to the publication of Markit Manufacturing PMI in the euro area (11:00 GMT+2), as well as Markit Manufacturing PMI in the US (16:45 GMT+2). In the Eurozone, the indicator is expected to remain unchanged at the level of 60.6 points in December. In the US, the index is expected to grow to 56.1 points in December from 55.0 points a month earlier.

Support and resistance

From the technical point of view, the potential of the upward movement remains. Bollinger Bands are pointing upwards. The volumes of MACD histogram are actively growing in the positive zone, forming a signal for purchase. Breaking through the level of 1.2023 (Murrey [5/8]) and consolidation above will be the indication for the continuation of growth. If it cannot gain a foothold above the level of 1.2023, then we should expect a corrective downward movement to the area of 1.1962 (Murrey [4/8]).

Support levels: 1.9629, 1.1901, 1.1840.

Resistance levels: 1.2023, 1.2085, 1.2146.

eurusd0201-1.png


Trading tips

Buy positions may be opened above the level of 1.2023 with target at 1.2090 and stop-loss at 1.2005 mark.

Sell positions may be opened below the level of 1.1962 with target at 1.1900 and stop-loss at 1.1980 mark.

NPBFX in an interview to China Forex Expo: market trends, results and development plans

Good afternoon, dear forum visitors!

In the beginning of December our company NPBFX took part in the international exhibition China Forex Expo 2017. The exhibition is being successfully held already for the 6th time and gather the world's largest brokers, financial companies, interested traders and investors in its arena. NPBFX was invited to visit China to be awarded in the nomination "Best Execution Broker 2017" for the best quality and speed of execution.

china_en.png


The company’s representative in Asia was Alla Zvereva, the NPBFX regional director. Within the exhibition she gave an interview sharing the opinion about current and future trends in the market, differences of NPBFX from competitors, development plans for the future.

- Tell about the differences between NPBFX and your competitors.

The main feature that makes us different from competitors is our experience and expertise on the market for more than 20 years. We are a mature company, we really know what the market needs, and we give it to our clients. The TOP-3 our priorities are: super-fast execution, developed payment solutions, high level of customer support.

- How do you see the current situation of the market? Are there any opportunities for new companies to enter the market?

Over the last years the industry is growing in a giant progression, and the competition is becoming stronger and stronger. New trends are replaced by others and Forex itself is becoming more accessible. Today almost everyone can start trading and make a profit, even having a minimum deposit. As for the market in Asia, here Forex is still booming. However, the problem is a small awareness of the rural population of the opportunities the market can give, even for those traders who have already entered the market.

- What are the challenges that broker companies on the Chinese market can face?

The Chinese government is making the access of local traders to foreign companies extremely difficult. So it is also more difficult for international companies to access local Chinese traders. However, there are a lot of traders in China who are interested in the better services, better conditions and better products, that only international companies can provide.

Another thing in localization: many companies coming to China use Western approaches but here it does not work, clients want to see the broker more "Chinese", close to traditions and internal understanding of work.

One more issue is the opening of new companies in China that use fraudulent schemes. This greatly undermines the trust of clients to honest and reliable companies.

- Share the plans of NPBFX for the next year.

In conditions of a rapidly changing market only companies that are ready to adapt to changes, adjust their strategy will be able to succeed in the future. Therefore, our key goal is to actively further develop our products and services, to be in line with the high demand of clients.

Another direction is to strengthen our brand on the new Asian market for us. We are going to focus on training workshops, seminars as experts to improve the level of our clients' awareness of Forex and their trading results.

And not less important is that we are usually working on improving and developing our payment systems, providing fast and safe payment solutions to all categories of traders.

2018 in NPBFX is going to be interesting and full of innovations on both the Chinese and Russian markets in general. We managed to achieve a lot in the passing year, and the pleasant award in the prestigious "Best Execution Broker 2017" nomination became a good summary. We believe that in the new year together with our clients we will be able to rise even higher in the quality of the services provided.
