We remain Euro bullish in the week ahead.‬


Japanese Yen. Our bias NEUTRAL, on the sidelines till a clearer picture develops.

Last week, the Japanese Yen remained in the middle of the pack against most of the other major currencies‬
As the Yen is considered a store of safe haven in times of crisis, the currency will likely be bid higher on any poor news regarding the debt ceiling problems the United States.‬

Sterling closed last week higher by more than 1% against the U.S. Dollar as investors dumped the Greenback on concerns over the approaching debt ceiling deadline and improved risk appetite‬
This week, U.K. economic data is highlighted by the 2Q GDP print on Tuesday (0.2% exp vs 0.6% prior)‬
Support at 1.6260, resistance 1.6380‬
We remain Sterling neutral until a clearer picture develops post GDP data.

Canadian Dollar finished last week at 0.9476 after weakening on Friday following the disappointing CPI report (-0.6% vs 0.0% exp).

Support at 0.9445, resistance at 0.9500‬
