ORBEX:CHF Firm Despite Haven Flows,Pound "Stimulated" by CarneyBOE's Gov Carney hinted to stimulus yesterday, indicating that the pound could come under severe pressure if incoming data show no improvement.
Coincidently, the same day there were suggestions that the EU-UK talks could be dragged past the tight deadline BoJo has set.
The passenger plane crash in Tehran didn’t reflect into the markets as uncertainty about the crash remains high without access to the plane's "black box". As a result, #safehaven outflows continued to weaken the #yen.
However, #franc seems undeterred by the sentiment, making a strong case for more firmness.

ORBEX: GBPCHF & EURJPY Follow Identical Pattern (hint: bullish)!In today’s #marketinsights video recording, I talk about #fxminors #EURJPY and #GBPCHF as they both seem to be moving within an identical pattern.
Despite the added uncertainty amid the latest delay drama of phase-1 of a potential trade deal between US and China, safe-havens #yen and #franc seemed unaffected by at least this type of flows.
That suggests that participants are now shifting to more exciting events, expected to trade trade war flows when a more significant and certain development comes on the surface.
Until then, #euro and #pound inflows could push the aforementioned pairs higher, with the latter hanging on today's #BoE meeting.
