Happy Saturday friends☀
We prepared something interesting for you!
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).

📆 What this week will bring us!
British Average Earnings Index (Tue, 11:30 MT time) – the forecast is neutral. Only greater economic data will pull the GBP out of the negative area.
British CPI (Wed, 11:30 MT time) – the forecast is encouraging. Will the GBP finally strengthen?
US Retail Sales and Core Retail Sales (Wed, 15:30 MT time) – the forecast is mixed. Let’s see whether the actual data brings the USD to new highs.
Australian Job data (Thu, 4:30 MT time) – the forecast is weak. Weak economic data will pull the AUD to lows of the end of 2016.
Canadian CPI (Fri, 15:30 MT time) – the Canadian dollar needs support in times of the strong USD and the unstable oil market.
🔥 Hot topics:
🔺 The Turkish lira extends fall, as there is no progress in Turkish-US tensions. Early on Monday, USD/TRY broke above 7. Although the pair has been moving down up to now, the soon recovery of the lira is not anticipated.
🔺 The fall of lira causes problems for the EUR. The European central bank is worried about the European banks’ exposure to Turkey. The euro is in the dangerous zone.
🔺 The plunge of the Turkish lira caused a fall of the emerging market currencies. The South African rand and Mexican peso significantly fell early on Monday. The further escalation of Turkish-US tensions will pull EM currencies further down.

Have you seen it? EUR/USD rose to 1.16!
☝ This pair acts as a barometer of the market’s risk sentiment. Traders await positive news of the US-China trade talks. In addition, the US President Donald Trump has recently criticized the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes, and the USD weakened.
However, EUR/USD came close to resistance of a trend line and 50-day MA. The euro needs to get above 1.1635 to return to 1.1725. Support is at 1.15.
⬇ If there are no big results from trade talks (this is likely given the fact that the negotiations are not at the top level) and the Fed’s minutes (released today at 21:00 MT time) is hawkish, EUR/USD will turn down.
⬆ If the Fed’s minutes show that the US central bank is concerned with trade tensions, we may see EUR/USD break above the trend line and test higher levels.

Another important factor to consider!
Two ex-advisers of the US President Donald Trump are facing prison sentences - and one of them saying Trump told him to commit a crime.
Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was found guilty on tax and bank fraud charges, while Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty to a range of charges. Cohen also testified that Trump directed him to commit a crime by arranging payments ahead of the 2016 presidential election to silence two women who said they had had affairs with Trump.
➡ No doubts that Trump faces serious political problems. This is negative for the USD.

#CENTRALBANK
💼 Although the market expected a cautious RBA at today’s meeting, the statement remained similar to the previous one. The central bank didn’t take into consideration the recent hike of the mortgage rate by Westpac. As a result, AUD/USD got a chance to go up.
❗ However, the rise didn’t last for long. The surge of the USD affected the pair’s direction. Up to now, AUD/USD has been trading near the support at 0.7160 (the trend line). If it’s able to break below this level, risks of the further fall will increase. The next support is at 0.7121.
