UK BoE and ECB publish their rate and monetary easing decisions whilst UK chancellor will deliver his 'Autumn statement'.
Thursday witnesses the UK's BoE MPC publish its interest rate policy decision and the details of its monetary easing policy decision which is expected to remain the same at £375bn. The statement covering the decisions will be of keen interest to investors. The UK's chancellor will give his autumn finance statement. Europe's ECB will publish its rate decision, expected to stay at 0.25%. Canada reports its building permits and the IVEY PMI expected in at 60.2, whilst the USA publishes its preliminary GDP figures expected in at 3.1%, with unemployment claim numbers at circa 322K for the week. The USA publishes its factory orders, predicted down by 0.7%. The yen rallied 0.2 percent to 102.36 versus the dollar late in New York Wednesday, after touching 103.38 Tuesday, the weakest level since May 23rd. The U.S. currency was little changed at $1.3593 per euro. The yen gained 0.1 percent to 139.13 per euro. The U.S. Dollar Index, which tracks the U.S. currency versus its 10 major counterparts, was little changed at 1,020.94, after rising to 1,025.36 yesterday, the highest level since Sept. 13th. The yen rallied for a second day against the dollar as stronger-than-forecast U.S. economic data spurred speculation the Federal Reserve will reduce stimulus that has driven up stocks globally. Bank of Canada policy makers kept their benchmark rate on overnight loans between commercial banks at 1 percent, where it’s been for more than three years, as forecast by all 22 economists in a Bloomberg survey. The Canadian dollar fell 0.3 percent to C$1.0684 versus the greenback, reaching the lowest level since May 2010.

MARKET ANALYSIS - Intraday Analysis
Upwards scenario: Instrument gained momentum on the upside recently, turning short-term bias to the positive side. Next resistive structure on the way lies at 1.3641 (R1), break here would suggest next intraday targets at 1.3658 (R2) and 1.3674 (R3). Downwards scenario: On the other side, depreciation below the support barrier at 1.3606 (S1) might provide sufficient space for the recovery action. In such case we would suggest next intraday targets at 1.3588 (S2) and then 1.3571 (S3).
