The FOMC minutes for the March meeting indicated that policymakers saw less urgency to implement QE3 due to improvement in the economic backdrop.

Forex Trade Ideas

Trade Idea: EUR/USD – Sell at 1.3080

Friday’s selloff together with the breach of support at 1.3033 (last week’s low) signals recent decline has resumed and further weakness to 1.2970-75 would be seen, however, near term oversold condition should prevent sharp fall below 1.2940-50 and risk from there is seen for a rebound later this week.

Trade Idea: GBP/USD – Sell at 1.5900

Friday’s selloff has kept cable under pressure, adding credence to our view that the rebound from recent low of 1.5805 has ended at 1.5985 last week and bearishness is seen for a retest of this support, break there would signal recent decline from 1.6063 top has resumed and extend further weakness to previous support at 1.5770 which is likely to hold on first testing.
