UK Pound Forex Trading Strategy

Sterling continues to drop in currency trading
UK pound forex trading strategy should consider that the currency is falling rather dramatically to the US dollar right now on the FX market.

The sterling is dropping in currency trading as increasingly disastrous economic data continues to roll in. Housing data has been especially damaging to the British economy in the past months. Bloomberg reports on the future for the UK pound in FX trading:

``It looks like the U.K. economic picture is going to deteriorate further and we are going to see sterling come under increasing pressure,'' said Ian Stannard, a senior currency strategist at BNP Paribas SA in London, who predicts the pound will fall to $1.85 by the end of the year.

Canadian Dollar Forex Trading Strategy

Oil prices gain; so does the loonie in currency trading
Loonie makes gains in FX trading
Canadian dollar forex trading strategy should consider that oil prices have a rather large influence on how well things go on the currency market.

As a commodity currency, the Canadian dollar depends on its main export to help buoy the loonie in currency trading on the FX market. Since oil prices are making some gains today -- after a few days of losses, the loonie is also rising in FX trading.

However, reports Bloomberg, Canadian dollar forex trading strategy should consider that the gains will likely be short lived:

``Oil is up, so Canadian dollar has responded, reversing what had been a persistent and unusual trend,'' said Eric Lascelles, chief economist at TD Securities Inc. in Toronto. ``It may hold onto its gains, but it probably will continue to be soft as commodities have probably flattened a bit and the U.S. dollar has managed to hang on, and even make some gains against Canada and other currencies.''

Canadian Dollar Forex Trading Strategy

Loonie continues to break down in FX trading
