Swiss Franc Technical Outlook

The sharp drop from 1.23 is in 5 waves and probably wave A within an A-B-C correction that will end below 1.0367. The rally from 1.0367 is the B wave of that sequence and likely tests resistance from Fibonacci 1.15, eventually.

Wave b of B is underway now and I’ll look to identify an entry point to go long in order to catch wave c of B up to 1.15.

How Does This Affect Your Forex Trading Account?

If you are long the currency bearing the higher interest rate then you should earn interest, automatically credited to your trading account. Conversely, if you are short the currency bearing the higher interest rate then you should experience a small debit to your account.

Be aware that most forex brokers require a 2% margin set for your account in order to receive interest. If not, you will have to pay for the rollover, it doesn't matter whether you are long or short the currency bearing the higher interest rate

Day Traders

For day traders, who almost never hold any overnight positions, the rollover is not applicable because there are no positions to roll, and therefore no interest is earned or paid.
Swing Traders

If you are a swing, position or long term trader, the rollover will affect your account since you'll earn or pay interest on a daily basis. Therefore, it is recommend to set your account at 2% margin and only try to long the currency bearing the higher interest rate.

A strategy for the longer term trader is the carry trade, which relies on a big interest rate differential between the two traded currencies.
For example the NZD/JPY currency cross pair.

Currently, traders earn a $13 daily rollover interest, credited to their accounts at 5PM EST while holding a long position in this pair for each standard lot(1 standard lot equals 100,000 units) traded; BUT, if you are short NDZ/JPY, your account will be debited $14/day for each standard lot traded! Interesting fact to know, isn't it?
Rollover example

If you are long 300,000 EUR/USD at rollover (5PM est) and EUR/USD at rollover is trading at 1.3200, the EUR short-term interest rate is 3.50% and the USD short-term interest rate is 5.25%

How Currencies are Traded in the FOREX Market

Currencies are traded in dollar amounts called “lots”. At 100:1 leverage, one lot is equal to $1000 which controls $100,000 of a given currency. This leverage is known as “margin” and some brokers will allow traders even higher leverage than 100:1. This superhigh leverage is one of the reasons that Forex trading has become so popular.

Currencies are always traded in pairs. Each pair has unique notation that expresses which currencies are being traded.
The symbol for a currency pair will always be in the form ABC/XYZ. ABC/XYZ is not a real currency pair, just an example of how currency pairs are stated in the market. I
n this particular example, ABC is the symbol for one country’s currency and XYZ is the symbol for another country’s currency.

Listed below are some common symbols used. There are symbols for other currencies as well, but these are the most commonly traded ones.

USD - The US Dollar
EUR - The currency of the European Union "EURO"
GBP - The British Pound
JPN - The Japanese Yen
CHF - The Swiss Franc
AUD - The Australian Dollar
CAD - The Canadian Dollar

Bonds Fall After $92B in Auctions

Government bonds fell Monday for the second straight session after the Treasury Department auctioned off $92 billion in debt.
Treasury sold a record $38 billion in an auction of 2-year notes and a combined $54 billion in 3-month and 6-month bills as the government attempts to finance its ever-growing debt. The Treasury last week promised $13.4 billion to the U.S. auto industry, using up the last of the first $350 billion Congress allotted to rescue the financial markets.
Growing supply continues to meet high investor demand for government bonds. With the stock and commodities markets plunging this year, investors have placed their funds in Treasurys with the hope that the securities will serve as a safe-haven investment. As a result, bonds have performed very well this year, despite a volatile economy and financial markets.

"There continues to be good demand for Treasurys," said Andrew Brenner, senior vice president at MF Global. "That will continue until at least after the first quarter of 2009, when we start to see sustained improvement in the stock market and in the economy."
As a result, the auctions were met with high interest, even with another $28 billion to be auctioned in 5-year debt on Tuesday. Bond investors didn't seem to mind ultra-low yields, with the 3-month bill yielding less than 0.01% in the auction. The 2-year bill had a median yield of just 0.83% in the auction, the first time it registered a yield below 1% since the Treasury began keeping records in 1976.
"This may be the first auction since the Eisenhower administration with a coupon below 1%," Brenner said. "Still, the auction gained a reasonable level of support."

Bonds fell slightly Monday, as they were lightly traded with many traders on holiday vacation. Such light trading may continue through the rest of the year, which means bonds may show only slight movements - regardless of the size or success of future auctions - until January.
"This is typically a very slow time of the year, and volumes are off dramatically today, running 30% below normal," Brenner said. "That means there's not a lot of people to put the money to work."
Bonds fall: The 10-year note dipped 3/32 to 114-11/32, and its yield rose to 2.14% from 2.13% from Friday. Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.
The 30-year long bond dropped 1-3/32 to 139-6/32, and yielded 2.59%, up from 2.56%.

The 2-year note fell 4/32 to 100-28/32, and its yield rose to 0.81% from 0.75%.
The yield on the 3-month note fell to 0.02% from 0.03%, and has been hovering around 0% for more than a week. Yields near the zero mark on short-term bills are an indication that investors are completely risk-averse, prioritizing safety above profit.
Lending rates remain low: Meanwhile, lending rates between banks remained near record low levels.

Libor, the London Interbank Offered Rate, is a daily average of what 16 different banks charge other banks to lend money in London, and is used to calculate adjustable-rate mortgages. More than $350 trillion in assets are tied to Libor.
Two market gauges showed confidence edging higher.
The "TED spread" narrowed to 1.45 percentage points from 1.48 percentage points Thursday. The TED spread measures the difference between the 3-month Libor and the 3-month Treasury bill, and is a key indicator of risk. The higher the spread, the more unwilling investors are to take risks.

Another indicator, the Libor-OIS spread, fell to 1.24 percentage points from 1.29 percentage points as the Overnight Index Swap rate plummeted to 0.17% from an opening level of 0.32% Tuesday.
The Libor-OIS spread measures how much cash is available for lending between banks, and is used for determining lending rates. The bigger the spread, the less cash is available for lending.
