The U.S. dollar fell to a new all-time low against the euro on April 16 -- mostly because of a rise in European inflation, apparently. But what if the euro-dollar moved down today instead? Can you imagine the same reason being used to justify a market decline instead? We can...

If you're a currency trader, you know exactly what the word "intervention" means. When a central bank decides to step in and buy or sell a currency to fulfill whatever plan it may be pursuing, it may wreak havoc on the forex markets. What happened in the forex markets this past weekend was not an intervention – just a strong allusion to one. Still...

Question: When the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank lowers interest rates, what is the U.S. dollar supposed to do, according to the conventional economic wisdom? That’s right, fall. So why then did the dollar gain today (March 18) after the Fed cut rates by a hefty 0.75%?

Before the U.S. dollar fell to a new all-time low against the euro last week, opinions were divided on whether or not that would actually happen. Most of the arguments revolved around the U.S. Federal Reserve interest rates policy. Problem is, despite many analysts' claims, there is no persistent positive correlation between the U.S. dollar and interest rates.

Just minutes after the release of a disappointing U.S. employment report last Friday morning (Feb. 1), the U.S. dollar suddenly got stronger and the EUR/USD exchange rate plunged. The fall was fast and deep; by Friday night, the dollar stood over 100 pips stronger against the euro -- despite the morning's bad economic news. Strange? You can say that again. But what happened next was even stranger.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
