he Gold & CHF Correlation by GoLearn Forex
USD/CHF:
The Swiss Franc has a positive correlation to Gold. Thus, as Gold appreciates so does the CHF and vice versa. When the Gold rush of 2009 began the CHF participated in the precious metal’s appreciation. However, the correlation broke down as Gold broke its all time high. In the below Chart the CHF hesitated as it broached Dollar parity while Gold enjoyed near new daily highs. We would have expected the CHF to enjoy new highs, in line with Gold, once breaking parity with the Greenback but that did not transpire.
INSERT CHART CORR
The CHF like most of the G-10 is currently holding at very volatile handles. During the Dollar’s initial rally the Franc closed just above the 50 day MA and has since surpassed it. Currently the CHF has breached S1 at 1.0278. In the Chart below we have drawn a Fibonacci Retrace from the CHF low on April 20th, then trading at 1.17. We used the CHF high on November 26th, with a handle at .9918 to complete the Fibonacci range.
INSERT CHART CHF
The Fibonacci Retrace puts the 23.6% retrace level at 1.0350. The 100 day MA is also converging on the same level. If the Swiss Franc takes out the FIBO 23.6% level and closes below the 100 day MA this would trigger an additional short CHF entry. A close below the 50 day MA at 1.0163 would generate a long CHF entry.
There are a number of moving parts to watch when trading this pair. Gold has been hit hard during this Dollar rally and most analysts felt a retrace was imminent given the metal’s stellar rise. However, most analysts also forecast Gold to retain most if it’s appreciation given the high level of demand. This view may shield the Franc from massive depreciation. However, if the CHF takes out the 100 day MA prior to Gold firming then we would expect to see significant price action.
Commodities in a Slump by GoLearn Forex
It was a mixed day on Wall Street following a continued selloff in the Asian and London sessions. The DJIA closed the day at 10,337.05 up 51.08 points. It saw modest gains as analysts upgraded their ratings on 3M and Sprint Nextel.
The Greenback gave up some gains from its 3 day rally as the DXY closed down slightly to 76.038, but still above the 50 day MA. The big winner on the day was the Kiwi, as it advanced 1.81%. The RBZ held rates at 2.5% but improved their forecasts to include a possible rate hike in mid 2010. Additionally, Governor Bollard added the Bank’s expectation now looks for a significant rise in GDP.
Commodities continued their slump as Oil closed the session down 1.75 to 70.87. Corn, Wheat, and Soybeans sold off as the dollar held firm most of the day. Gold finished the day essentially unchanged to close at 1,128.60
Thursday will see a lot of price action as Unemployment figures is Australia print. Consensus expectations are looking for a modest rise to 5.9%. Obviously a print above or below will advance or plummet the AUD as the market looks for direction in this Dollar rally. The SNB will make its Interest Rate decision, although widely expected to keep rates on hold. Traders will focus their attention to accompanying language from the Central Bank. In the U.K the BOE will announce their interest rate decision and although they are expected to keep rates on hold at .5% it will be the Central Banks accompanying statements that have the chance to stir the market. Lastly, in the U.S, Trade Balance figures will print as will Jobless Claims. Traders will be watching carefully to see where Jobless Claims print as they seek to confirm last week’s NFP numbers. A significantly higher print may put an end to the Greenbacks rally while a better than expected print will affirm the Dollars new levels.

If one is thinking about getting into the Forex Trading Business, then he or she should start searching for the best Forex Broker. A single broker may not be the best broker for all clients. Various clients will have various requirements, and the broker must fulfill these requirements. Therefore, the best broker for a particular client is the one with whom the client feels the most comfortable. The client should first list down his or her necessities, and then start with the research work of various brokers. Now the client can compare the requirements with the broker’s qualifications and offerings, and select a broker whose qualities match their requirements the most. By selecting the right and appropriate broker, the client is able to take the right decision at the right time. This will lead to smooth business and success for the client. Finding the best Forex Broker also includes a part of luck.
A broker only acts as a third party mediator between the buying party and selling party. The broker is not directly involved in the transactions of the client, instead acts from the outside helping the client to run smooth business. One should never rush or hurry in searching and selecting a broker. As goes the saying, Slow and Steady Wins the Race, the more patient is one in selecting the broker, the more are the chances for success. The records and background of the broker should be thoroughly analyzed, and information about the broker should be obtained from liable sources. This information about the broker plays the vital role in selecting one, and hence any wrong information may cause the client to lose a good Forex Broker.
The client-broker relation is a very important factor which has to be maintained, in order to make the Forex Trading Business a long lasting one. If at any point, the client does not feel comfortable with the broker for any reason, then he or she should go elsewhere for help. This is the best option for both, the client and the broker. To maintain a good client-broker relation, the client as well as the broker should agree to the terms and conditions of the signed legal document and stick to it forever. If either the broker or client deviate or even try to deviate from the terms and conditions, then devastating effects will have to faced. Hence one should never step into the Forex Trading Business without finding the appropriate broker; else the client would be facing serious consequences. On the other hand, getting the right broker will help the client to gain maximum profit and reach the top of the success ladder. One should never feel that all the research work in finding the best broker is a waste of time; it will surely pay one day.
