This week we’ll begin with our monthly and weekly forecasts of the currency pairs worth watching. The first part of our forecast is based upon our research of the past 11 years of Forex prices, which show that the following methodologies have all produced profitable results:

· Trading the two currencies that are trending the most strongly over the past 3 months.

· Assuming that trends are usually ready to reverse after 12 months.

· Trading against very strong counter-trend movements by currency pairs made during the previous week.

· Buying currencies with high interest rates and selling currencies with low interest rates.

Let’s take a look at the relevant data of currency price changes and interest rates to date, which we compiled using a trade-weighted index of the major global currencies:

Monthly Forecast July 2017

This month, we forecast the highest-probability trade as long EUR/USD. The performance to date is nicely positive:

Weekly Forecast July 23,  2017

Last week, we made no forecast, as there were no strong counter-trend movements.

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

This week has been dominated by relative strength in the Euro and the Canadian Dollar, and relative weakness in the British Pound and U.S. Dollar.

Volatility was very slightly lower than last week, with approximately 45% of the major and minor currency pairs changing in value by more than 1%. Volatility is likely to be at least a little higher over this coming week. You can trade our forecasts in a real or demo Forex brokerage account.
