01.02.2016 - The decision of the Bank of Japan has led to the strengthening of the US dollar against the yen
Currency trading and the euro. The price of euro fell on Friday amid a stronger US dollar, which was caused by the unexpected decision of the Bank of Japan on monetary policy. Thus, the Japanese regulator decided to reduce interest rates from the the level of 0.10% to -0.10%. As a result, demand for dollar assets rose due to a sharp fall in the price of the yen. It is worth noting that on Friday was published data on US GDP growth in Q4, according to which the country's economy in the last three months of 2015 grew by only 0.7%, which is 0.1% worse than forecast and significantly worse than growth by 2,0% in the 3rd quarter.

Experts' opinion
01.02.2016 - Strong statistics supported the British pound
Today was published an unexpectedly strong manufacturing PMI statistics in the UK, which in January showed an increase to 52.9, against 51.9 previously. Analysts had forecasted a decline to 51.8. It is worth noting that these news supported the British pound which is influenced by the recent statements of the Bank of England that has led to the expectation of rising interest rates not earlier that in Q4 2016. At the same time, the question of holding a referendum on the country's exit from the European Union must be held before the end of 2017 and experts estimate that it may take place in autumn. Our medium-term outlook remains negative and we recommend to use the growth of the British currency to accumulate short positions with the potential of reduction to 1.4000 and 1.3600.
