Weekly Forecast 22nd April 2018
Last week, we made no weekly forecast, as there were no strong counter-trend movements that week.
This week, we forecast that the GBP/SEK currency cross will rise in value.
This week has been dominated by relative strength in the U.S. Dollar, and relative weakness in the New Zealand Dollar.
Volatility was the same as it was last week, with approximately 44% of the major or minor currency pairs changing in value by more than 1%. Volatility is likely to be similar or a little higher next week.
