Monthly Forecast Performance
Weekly Forecast 23rd August 2020 

Last week, we made no weekly forecast.

This week, we again make no forecast, as there were again no strong counter-trend price movements.

The Forex market showed a decrease in volatility compared to the previous week, with 19% of the important currency pairs and crosses moving by more than 1% in value last week. Volatility is likely to remain low over the coming week, however, due to a near-total absence of high impact scheduled economic data releases.

Last week was dominated by relative strength in the Canadian Dollar and relative weakness in the Euro.
