ORBEX: Will the US Avoid A Gov Shutdown This Year?In this market insights, I talk about the reason #FX Majors were muted; on the back of a shift to riskier assets i.e. the equities I dive into euro, pound, dollar and the safe-haven yen to provide you with my short-term analysis. I also talk about what to focus on for the rest of the week and with crunch talks around the allocation of US’s $1.3tn spending continuing, it is certainly going to be an interesting one as fears of another shutdown linger!

ORBEX GBPUSD, EURUSD, AUDUSD Under Pressure! But For How Long?In today's #marketinsights video recording I analyse #fxmajors #audusd, #gbpusd and #eurusd. They are all under pressure for different reasons: EURUSD - ECB's Lane dovish on ECB's inflation target - Italian CPI weakening GBPUSD - BoJo goes to Brussels empty-handed - Brussels not sure if extension will help AUDUSD - RBA reveals plans to cut more if necessary - Bank could cut twice more in 2019 to support inflation and employment goals Meanwhile, everyone stresses out about #FOMC!
