Forex Commentary: EURUSD finds support near 1.4000, 7th September 2011

Trading Setups / Chart in Focus:

EURUSD

The EURUSD has found some support near 1.4000 today. We are still slightly bearish biased here and would watch the 8 / 21 day EMA resistance layer as a potential selling-zone if we get any obvious bearish price action strategies forming in this area.

Forex Commentary:

The euro rallied on Wednesday as sovereign debt worries subsided temporarily after a German court backed the country’s role in euro zone bailouts, though gains may be limited ahead of a European Central Bank meeting.

In early afternoon trading, the euro was up 0.6 percent on the day at $1.4059, off a session high of $1.41504 hit immediately after the German Constitutional Court’s ruling. The euro though was still down 2.0 percent this month.

Commodity currencies also rose, with the Australian dollar up 1.3 percent at US$1.0636, buoyed by a report showing the Australian economy grew at its fastest pace in four years last quarter.

The dollar, meanwhile, was down 0.4 percent against the yen at 77.300 yen
