EU Session Bullet Report – Oil And Gold Under Pressure, US Employment Ahead

Greece's Government managed to pass the key reform measures necessary for starting the negotiations for the new 86 billion EURO bailout, but the news did not have any impact on EURUSD.

GBPUSD lost some ground after the release of Bank of England minutes that revealed a hawkish stance of some of its members. Key data out of UK today are Retail Sales which are expected to show a small decline compared to earlier month.
Crude oil made a new low at 49.05 after an unexpected increase in US oil supplies. The drop also affected oil exporting currencies such as the USDCAD which posted a new 6 year high at 1.3050.

NZDUSD strengthened following the widely expected rate cut from the nation's Central Bank. This was the second rate cut in 6 weeks.

GOLD was once again under pressure yesterday and posted new lows at 1086. The metal is under pressure and further drop cannot be excluded.

Today the economic Calendar includes the release of US Initial Jobless claims and Canadian Retail Sales. As mentioned, UK will also release the June Retail Sales.
