USD (US Dollar)
EURUSD - Will the dollar weakness stop?!The EURUSD currency pair is located above EMA200 and EMA50 on the 4-hour timeframe and is moving in its ascending channel. Maintaining the drawn ascending channel will lead to a continuation of the upward trend towards the channel ceiling. A correction of this currency pair towards the demand zone will provide us with its next opportunity to buy it.
Donald Trump’s remarks about imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico have sparked concerns among European companies. A report by Bank of America (BofA) highlights dozens of European firms that are vulnerable to these tariffs due to their supply chain dependencies and revenue exposure.
Among these companies, the Italian automaker Stellantis stands out. According to the report, Stellantis operates 16 supply chain links in Canada and derives 47% of its total revenue from North America. Similarly, the German auto giant BMW has 18 supply chain links in Canada and generates 26% of its revenue from the United States.
In the energy sector, the UK-based utility company National Grid, with a market value of €58 billion, has a significant presence in the U.S., where 50% of its assets and 54% of its revenue originate. Although its tangible supply chain exposure in Mexico and Canada is relatively low, its extensive operations in the U.S. make it highly susceptible to the negative impacts of these tariffs.
Eurozone Bank Lending Survey – January 2025:
• Credit Standards: In Q4 2024, corporate credit standards tightened due to rising perceived risks and reduced risk tolerance.
• Mortgage Loans: Credit standards for household mortgages remained unchanged, but lending conditions for consumer credit tightened further.
• Loan Demand: Mortgage loan demand surged significantly, while corporate loan demand remained weak.
According to analysts at Standard Chartered, financial markets are currently overly focused on Donald Trump’s economic policies, potentially overlooking the risks associated with this week’s Federal Reserve meeting.
The Federal Reserve is set to announce its latest interest rate decision today following a two-day meeting. It is widely expected that the interest rate will remain within the current range of 4.25% to 4.5%. However, investors are keen to find clues regarding the timing of future rate cuts. Based on market pricing, expectations suggest a 40-basis-point rate cut by December.
A key unknown factor influencing this outlook is Donald Trump’s policies. He has recently called on the Fed to lower interest rates. Additionally, his tariff policies, which include imposing high tariffs on both allies and competitors, could further drive inflationary pressures.
As a result, the Fed may proceed cautiously with its rate-cut cycle. However, Trump’s administration has not yet implemented widespread tariffs, though he has threatened to do so.
Meanwhile, some Fed officials have recently signaled a more hawkish stance. There is also speculation that the Fed may seek to assert its independence at the beginning of Trump’s new presidential term by resisting his demands. If the Fed takes such a position, Trump may respond aggressively, which could further heighten market uncertainty.

USDINR Best sell signal you can find.The USDINR pair has been rising parabolically since the late September 2024 bottom. This rise has however most likely come to an end as the 1W RSI hit the top of its 16-year Resistance Zone.
This Zone has been holding since the October 2008 High and as you can see, it has offered 7 excellent sell signals. Most of those times, the rejection hit at least the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), so if you are looking for a long-term short trade, you can consider this.

DXY rebounding on the 1D MA50 and bottom of Channel Up.The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has been trading within a Channel Up since the November 05 2024 Low and the break-out above the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). Yesterday it made a new Higher Low exactly at the bottom of the Channel and shortly after breaching the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line).
This MA recovery confirms the start of the pattern's new Bullish Leg. The previous two delivered a rise of exactly +4.50%, and as such we will be looking for a similar Target at 111.650.
Note that, even though the 1D RSI resembles the May 15 2024 Low, which despite an initial rebound, it was rejected on the Lower Highs trend-line at the time, now the long-term trend has shifted to bullish as that Lower Highs trend-line turned into Support on the December 06 2024 contact.

Dollar Index Bullish to $111.350 (UPDATE)The Dollar has melted down to our second POI, down to $107 & so far has bounced back up. It is possible that price might still drop a little lower, but overall I expect the Dollar to turn bullish again.
We've seen Wave 4 correction complete, followed by a 'BOS' above Wave 3 high confirming the bull run will continue. Retest of supply zone completed, now time for the move up to continue📈
S-P-E-L-LSpell seems VERY VERY interesting. Looking at spell and comparing it to XCN which had absolutely insane gains this past month. Spell could quite possibly do the same. Nearly 2000% to the top. Just like XCN with is waterfall downward with similar pushes near the bottom.
Also volume is picking up heavily.
one more touch to the top line and we could see a quick 80%+ push (practically a meme coin)
We have 3 taps to the resistance line around $0.0018350.
We could see the first push to
$0.0033701
Small retrace and push all the way to $0.006
This is a risky trade, wait for confirmation before entering. Keep in mind it’s quick percentage up but it’s the same for down.
Good luck and have fun with it.
Understanding a Currency PegUnderstanding a Currency Peg: Definition, Mechanisms, and Implications
Fixed exchange rates, a cornerstone of international finance, play a pivotal role in shaping global commerce and investment landscapes. This article delves into their intricacies, exploring the historical evolution, practical understanding, and the balance of benefits and challenges they present.
Historical Context of Fixed Exchange Rates
The concept of fixed exchange rate systems has evolved over centuries, but its modern form gained prominence with the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944. This system was designed to rebuild the global economy after World War II by creating a stable international monetary framework. Under the Bretton Woods system, countries pegged their currencies to the US dollar, which in turn was backed by gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce. This arrangement aimed to maintain relative exchange rate stability, promote international trade, and prevent competitive currency devaluations.
To support this fixed exchange rate regime, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was established, providing financial assistance to countries facing balance of payments problems. While Bretton Woods initially succeeded in fostering economic stability, it began to falter in the 1960s due to rising inflation and balance of payment deficits in the US. In 1971, the US suspended gold convertibility, leading to the system’s collapse and a shift toward floating exchange rates.
Despite its end, the legacy of fixed exchange rates continues, as many countries still choose to peg their currencies to major currencies like the US dollar or the euro, seeking the economic predictability such systems offer.
Understanding Fixed Exchange Rates
A fixed exchange rate is a system where a country's currency value is tied to another major currency or a basket of currencies. Specifically, when a currency peg is established, the government commits to maintaining the currency within a specified narrow range around the targeted rate, often within a band of ±1% to ±2%.
Role of Central Banks and Foreign Reserves
Central banks play a pivotal role in maintaining a pegged currency. To defend the peg, a central bank must actively intervene in the foreign exchange (forex) market. When the currency’s value drifts from the fixed rate, the central bank buys or sells its currency to adjust supply and demand, keeping the value within the target range.
These operations require substantial foreign reserves—typically in the currency to which the domestic currency is anchored. These reserves act as a buffer to absorb shocks and counteract any pressures that could destabilise the peg.
Impact on Monetary Policy and Interest Rates
Maintaining currency pegging has a significant impact on a country's monetary policy. The central bank's primary focus becomes defending the peg, often at the expense of other economic goals, such as controlling inflation or stimulating growth.
Since the central bank must prioritise the peg, it has limited ability to set interest rates independently. Instead, interest rates often need to align closely with those of the anchor currency’s country to prevent capital flight and maintain the anchor’s credibility. This lack of flexibility can lead to challenges, particularly when the economic conditions in the pegging country differ from those in the anchor currency’s economy.
Implications of a Currency Peg
For the pegging country, a currency peg may offer economic stability and predictability, which are vital for fostering a favourable environment for trade and investment. Businesses can plan with greater certainty, knowing conversion rates will remain stable.
However, all this comes with significant challenges. Countries with fixed exchange rates often lose autonomy over their monetary policy, as maintaining the anchor becomes the primary focus. This can limit the country's ability to respond to domestic economic issues. Additionally, a currency peg can impact the trade balance; if the anchored currency is overvalued, it may harm exports, while an undervalued peg could increase inflation.
On a global scale, pegged exchange rates influence international trade and investment flows by reducing exchange rate volatility, making global transactions smoother. However, these systems also carry risks. If a pegged currency becomes misaligned with its true economic value, it can attract speculative attacks, where investors bet against the currency, leading to potential financial crises. Such scenarios can destabilise not only the pegging country but also ripple through global markets and negatively impact the world economy.
List of Fixed Exchange Rate Currencies
As of 2024, several currencies operate under a fixed exchange rate system. Notable fixed exchange rate examples include:
- Hong Kong dollar (HKD) - One of the most well-known currencies anchored to the USD, the HKD is maintained at approximately 7.8 to the US dollar, providing relative stability to Hong Kong’s financial markets since 1983.
- United Arab Emirates dirham (AED) - Pegged to the US dollar since 1997, the AED is maintained at around 3.67 to 1 USD, supporting the UAE's oil-driven economy.
- West African CFA franc (XOF) and Central African CFA franc (XAF) - Both pegged to the euro at a fixed rate of 655.957 CFA francs to 1 euro, these currencies provide economic stability across 14 African countries.
- Bahamian dollar (BSD) - Anchored to the US dollar at a 1:1 ratio, the BSD facilitates trade and tourism in the Bahamas, closely linked to the US economy.
- Danish krone (DKK) - Pegged to the euro within a narrow band, typically around 7.46 DKK to 1 euro, the krone's peg supports Denmark’s economic ties with the Eurozone.
- Saudi riyal (SAR) - Pegged to the US dollar since 1986, the SAR is maintained at approximately 3.75 to 1 USD, stabilising Saudi Arabia's oil-reliant economy.
Fixed Exchange Rate Pros and Cons
While many economies choose a floating system nowadays, there are pros and cons of a fixed exchange rate.
Advantages of a Fixed Exchange Rate
- Stability in Global Trade: Pegged currencies reduce the uncertainty and risk associated with floating currencies, making it easier for businesses to plan and engage in international commerce.
- Reduced Risk in International Investments: Investors are more likely to invest in countries with currencies that have predetermined rates because it lowers the risk of losing money through price fluctuations.
- Control of Inflation Rates: Countries can maintain low inflation levels by pegging their currency to a stable, low-inflation economy.
- Prevent Competitive Devaluations: Such a regime prevents countries from engaging in competitive devaluations, which may lead to a 'race to the bottom' and global economic instability.
- Increased Policy Discipline: Anchored rates can impose discipline on a country's fiscal and monetary policies, as maintaining the peg requires consistent, responsible economic management.
- Simplified Transactions: A fixed currency simplifies the process of global transactions by providing predictability in exchange costs, reducing the need for complex hedging strategies.
Disadvantages of a Fixed Exchange Rate
- Overvaluation or Undervaluation: Maintaining a set rate might lead to misalignment, where a currency may become overvalued or undervalued relative to its economic fundamentals.
- High Costs of Maintenance: To maintain the peg, countries often need to hold large reserves of foreign currency, which may be costly and economically inefficient.
- Lack of Monetary Policy Flexibility: Countries lose the ability to set their own interest rates and conduct independent monetary policy, as they must focus on maintaining the peg.
- Vulnerability to External Shocks: Tied conversion rates can make a country more susceptible to economic problems in the nation to which its currency is pegged.
- Reduced Responsiveness to Domestic Conditions: An anchored currency regime limits a country’s ability to respond to domestic economic changes, such as inflation, unemployment, or economic downturns.
- Risk of Speculative Attacks: If investors believe a currency is overvalued or undervalued, they may engage in speculative attacks, leading to severe financial crises.
Fixed Exchange Rates in Modern Trading
In modern trading, understanding the dynamics of fixed currencies offers traders specific advantages and insights:
- Forex Pairs: Traders can anticipate less volatility in forex involving a fixed value, allowing for more solid long-term trading strategies.
- Indicator of Economic Policies: The status and changes in a fixed rate potentially signal shifts in a country's monetary and fiscal policies, providing traders with crucial information for decision-making.
- Trade and Investment Decisions: Understanding which countries have pegged rates can guide traders in making informed decisions about trade and investment opportunities.
The Bottom Line
Grasping the nuances of fixed exchange rates is crucial for anyone involved in international finance. Whether weighing their pros and cons for trading or observing their impact on financial markets, this knowledge is invaluable. For those looking to apply this understanding practically, opening an FXOpen account can be a strategic step, offering a platform to navigate and capitalise on the opportunities in the global financial markets.
FAQ
What Does Pegging Currency Mean?
The pegging currency meaning refers to fixing its value to another major currency or a basket of currencies. This is done to provide stability in international trade and reduce forex rate volatility.
What Currencies Are Pegged to the Dollar?
There are several currencies pegged to USD, including the Hong Kong dollar (HKD), United Arab Emirates dirham (AED), Saudi riyal (SAR), and Bahamian dollar (BSD), among others. These currencies maintain a fixed exchange rate with the dollar to ensure economic stability.
Why Would Another Country Want to Peg Its Currency to the US Dollar?
Countries peg their currency to the US dollar to gain economic stability, attract foreign investment, and stabilise trade with the US. The dollar’s global dominance makes it a reliable anchor for maintaining economic predictability.
What Is a Disadvantage for a Country Utilising a Currency Peg?
A significant disadvantage of a currency peg is the loss of monetary policy autonomy. The anchoring country must prioritise maintaining the peg, limiting its ability to respond to domestic economic conditions like inflation or recession.
