EUR/USD 1,3908

Wall Street is mixed so far with the DOW rising 0.05% but the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 are losing 0.45% and 0.15% respectively. Markets in Europe finished in red: FTSE 100 -0.63%; CAC 40 -0.55% and DAX -0.46%. Crude oil is moving sideways around $105 a barrel (WTI) and gold is also rangebound, currently hovering around $1,430 an ounce.

Currencies are relatively calm, moving in ranges. EUR/USD and GBP/USD are struggling to hold above 1.3900 and 1.6200 respectively. The Yen is posting small gains for the American session supported by a rally in Treasuries. USD/CHF failed to rise above 0.9300 and is slowly approaching daily lows. Currencies tied to commodities retreated from the highs after Wall Street opening and since then are consolidating.

  10. Could you tell me how I could take advantage of this information? I mean... should I get some Euros from the bank or something? seems like that would absorb the profit, no? Is there another way, like a mutual fund I could invest in?
