How to trade on the Bank of England?
➡ British central bank is expected to increase its interest rate from 0.5% to 0.75% today at 14:00 MT time. Usually, a rate increase is positive for a currency, but this time it’s already in the price of the GBP, so it won’t be easy for the GBP to rise. Moreover, the BOE Governor may say cautious and pessimistic things because of the Brexit uncertainty. If so, any advance of the GBP will be very short-lived.
On H4 chart of GBP/USD, it looks like a “Head and Shoulders” pattern. A break below 1.3075 will trigger a fall to 1.3015/00.
What is needed for the GBP to turn up?
Hints on further rate increases + positive changes in bank’s economic forecasts. This scenario doesn’t seem very likely, but it would make GBP rise to 1.3150 ahead of 1.32.
What if there’s no rate increase?
GBP/USD will fall sharply, to 1.2950 and maybe even to 1.2850.

#EconomicCalendar
It’s the first Friday of August, and the markets are enjoying the summer heat. ☀
🇺🇸 Today the US will release NFP (Nonfarm Payrolls or Non-Farm Employment Change as indicated in the economic calendar) at 15:30 MT time. Many traders are waiting for this release.
Pairs to trade: GBP/USD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, USD/JPY.
What is expected?
The market expects solid economic figures from America. According to the forecast, NFP will be +191K. A number close to 200K will be positive for the USD. Notice that traders will look not only at NFP: another indicator may be even more important – Average Hourly Earnings. The forecast for this indicator is 0.3% vs. the previous number of 0.2%. If it comes true, the USD will remain strong. If it is 0.4%, the USD will jump up. The reading of 0.2% and lower will make the USD decline.
Analysts at Nomura and Deutsche Bank are expecting a strong NFP but they don’t expect much from Average Earnings Index. The USD is near highs now, so if the market gets disappointed, it will correct down.
And what are your expectations for the USD today?

The RBNZ meeting on August 9 at 00:00 MT time
The market doesn’t expect any changes in the interest rate, but bank’s comments may affect the market.
🔱 A Westpac forecast:
↔ 70% - neutral effect on the NZD. Westpac anticipates the same monetary policy statement as the previous one.
⬇ 20% - dovish outcome. Bank’s interest rate forecast is lowered. May Budget is assessed as negative. As a result, NZD/USD falls.
⬆ 10% - hawkish outcome. The interest rate forecast is increased slightly. As a result, NZD/USD is up.
Current technical setup📈
The NZD/USD trading has been uncertain. Bears have been trying to pull the pair up, however, the RBNZ meeting makes traders worry. Up to now, the pair has been trading near 0.6735.
🔻 If the RBNZ is neutral and the USD appreciates, there are risks of the fall below the support at 0.6719. The next support is at 0.6685. The same scenario is anticipated if the bank is dovish.
🔺 In case of the hawkish central bank, the pair will go to the resistance at 0.6785 (the trendline).

The Forex trading is full of so difficult but so significant words. We present you the list of the most important definitions without which you aren’t able to start trading❗
🔷 Deposit – sum you put on your account.
🔶 Leverage – an ability to trade with a big amount of money using a very little sum of your own. E.g., you have $1,000 but want to trade $100,000 position, $99,000 will be provided by the broker. In this case, the leverage is 1:100.
🔷 Account equity – the sum of your own money you have on the account which factors in profit/loss on your current open positions.
🔶 Margin – the minimum amount of your own money you need to have on the account to open a position (1-2% of the position size).
🔷 Used margin – the total sum of margin used for all open positions.
🔶 Free margin – the sum of your balance that is available to open a new position (= account equity – used margin).
🔷 Margin call – if you are losing money on a trade, your broker gives you a warning. E.g., at FBS, you’ll get a margin call if your account equity drops to 40% of the margin and lower (40% of $1,000 margin = $400).
🔶 Stop out – in case you kept a losing position, the broker will close it at the current market price if your equity drops to a certain level. (At FBS, the level is 20%. It means that if your sum falls to $200 from $1,000, your position will be closed automatically).
