ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 September 3

Personal opinions today:

China and the United States begin to impose tariffs on each other, affecting China and the global economy. Australia, which relies on resource commodities to export to China, also has a lot of influence. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announced its decision at noon and was widely expected to hold rates at a historic low of 1%. Investors did not consider the RBA cut-rate, but it is worth watching the monetary policy forecast, affecting the Australian dollar.

Eurozone producer prices index for July are released today, and the U.S. has big data and critical report coming. The US Markit manufacturing purchasing managers index and the official US ISM manufacturing purchasing managers index for August, announced today. If the official U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI just below market expectations of 51. It would believe that the market will be acceptable, which will have little impact on the dollar. If it falls below the 50, the effect is enormous. The impact on the U.S. Dow futures market and the US dollar. The more significant impact has been volatility in global equity and bond markets, which has spread to emerging markets and currencies. So it's worth noting. The data could reflect the federal reserve's "beige book" regional economic report on Thursday and the U.S. jobs report for August on Thursday and Friday. Have to watch out for today.

Yesterday, all France, Germany and the Eurozone manufacturing PMI final showed no significant improvement. Germany and the Eurozone manufacturing PMI readings remained below 50 in August, indicating a continued recession. For European markets today, the market focus on Eurozone PPI report, which is unlikely to boost the chances. The U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI for August was the significant focus of the market today. The US data indirectly affected the Euro. Technically, the downward trend of the Euro has fallen to a correction of 138.2%. In the absence of any Eurozone news, lower support levels of 1.0925 and 1.0895 are available for reference. Only if the Euro recovers its resistance of 1.1005 can it expect a repeat of the rally.

The Australian dollar was weak ahead of the RBA policy meeting at noon. The Australian dollar has been trending lower, falling nearly to its lowest level in two weeks. The short-term resistance is subject to 0.6730, and downward support is 0.6705. If the RBA does not present any policy stance today, we hope the AUDUSD will try 0.6730 resistance. If the RBA monetary stance boosts the AUDUSD, resistance can be seen at 0.6745 and 0.6785. Conversely, the Australian dollar could dip to its low of 0.6670 in early 2019 if it considers any negative news.

The final reading of the Markit PMI in August was up from the previous reading and expectations, reflecting growth in small and medium-sized enterprises. But the US official ISM manufacturing PMI fell sharply in August, falling below the boom-bust line to 49.1.

Today's market focus on U.S. August ADP payroll, the results are directly related to the U.S. August non-farm payrolls tomorrow. The market session is expected to be advanced today following the release of U.S. August ADP payrolls, pending the results of U.S. August non-farm payrolls, the unemployment rate and average wages.

Elsewhere, consumer confidence continued, and retailers remained confident about the economy and spending going forward. On the inflation front, expect inflation to grow "moderately". But the phrase "moderately" is generally used to mean that inflation has risen only slightly. The odds of a quarter-point interest rate cut by the federal reserve in September are 90.4 per cent, according to CME monitor, US 10-year Treasury yields fell to a 10-year low of 1.425%. Government Bond Fund flows into corporate bonds, indirectly pushing the Dow higher. The dollar fell amid rising cut interest rate expectations, bullish for gold and crude oil. And last night the next President of the European central bank (ECB) said she was considering the negative impact of the central bank's measures and trying to find the right way to push up the Eurozone economy.

00:30 Fed chairman Powell speaks

Today suggestion :

Eurodollar
1.1040/1.1060 resistance
1.1000/1.0985 support
U.S. ADP payrolls topped market expectations in August, while the dollar ended its decline and the euro fell. After hitting a 20-day average resistance yesterday, the euro reversed course with the release of U.S. jobs data, in line with this analysis. Non-farm payrolls are expected to rise in August, and average wages will increase if payrolls exceed 200,000. The wider the range, the stronger the dollar and the opportunity for the euro to extend losses. But it's worth noting that after the U.S. employment data, federal reserve chairman Powell made a speech. The euro could breakthrough 1.0985 support if the Fed chairman says there is a good chance it will keep rates on hold.

Pound dollar
1.2335/1.2355 resistance
1.2240/1.2220 support
The risk of a hard Brexit is cooling, indirectly boosting the pound. Yesterday's US ADP payroll showed a rebound of 111.6 % of the Fibonacci, up from a fall in August, to 1.2353. But the U.S. dollar ended its slide and pound limited the gains after U.S. ADP payrolls exceeded market expectations in August. Non-farm payrolls are expected to rise in August, and average wages will increase if payrolls exceed 200,000. The dollar is likely to strengthen against the pound as the federal reserve holds interest rates steady. Today, the U.S. non-farm payrolls data released in August, also attention to the federal reserve chairman Powell speech. Pound could breakthrough 1.2220 support if the fed chairman stresses the odds of keeping rates on hold.

Australian dollar to dollar
0.6820/0.6840 resistance
0.6785/0.6765 support
U.S. ADP payroll for August showed an increase, which is directly related to expectations for non-farm payrolls data tonight. The US dollar rose, limiting the Australian dollar's gains against the greenback. The market is now expecting goodwill from the US President and Chinese officials to help improve the trade relations and support the Australian dollar. Technically, the Australian dollar maintained above 0.6805, is expected to continue the upward trend of the Australian dollar, reference resistance 0.6820 and 0.6840, the pattern of the New Zealand dollar is to follow the pattern of the Australian dollar. Note that today's non-farm payrolls data show a rise of more than 220,000. There is a good chance that the Fed chairman will insist on holding rates steady. These factors may indirectly affect the Australian dollar fall.

Dollar yen
107.35/107.60 resistance
106.80/106.55 support
Dow futures and Nikkei futures lead the USDJPY. Last night, the US ADP payroll very well, led the Dow and the global stock market rise, indirect impact of the USDJPY rose to 107 levels. Technically, if Dow futures and Nikkei continue to rise, resistance level maybe reaches to 107.35 and 107.60 resistance. If Dow and Nikkei futures their declines believe the USDJPY follows.

USDCAD
1.3265/1.3285 resistance
1.3205/1.3180 support
A rebound in crude oil prices helped lift the Canadian dollar on strong U.S. ADP payroll. But the dollar rebounded, limiting the Canadian dollar's gains. Technically, after the U.S. dollar dipped against the Canadian dollar to 1.3200, if the rise in the price of crude oil narrowed, it would indirectly affect the strength of the Canadian dollar. Take note today of U.S. non-farm payrolls data for August. If crude oil prices stop rising after the data, the USDCAD rose.

US crude oil futures
57.35/57.75 resistance
55.80/55.30 support
The federal reserve has released its beige book on economic conditions, easing recession fears in the United States. U.S. August ADP payroll beat market expectations, boosting crude prices. Crude oil prices broke 56.60 resistance and hit 57.65 last night. Technically, the upper resistance level extends to the reference position of 57.75, which can be used as a reference. If the Fed chairman's emphasis on keeping interested rates on hold could limit the rise in oil prices and reverse course. Keep watching the Fed chairman announcement tonight.

Gold
1524/1527 resistance
1506/1503 support
U.S. ADP payroll beat market expectations, and gold prices fell in anticipation of the federal reserve's interest rate cut. Gold price is likely to test $1,506 today ahead of U.S. non-farm payrolls and average wages for August. If the non-farm payroll is only in line with 190,000, the end of the dollar strong, technical gold prices may rebound. Believe the price of gold fluctuates during the US trading session today. That's because the Fed chairman is still speaking after the U.S. non-farm payroll. The overall gold price, the significant support levels are $1500 and $1493, please take note.

U.S. Dow Jones industrial average futures US30
26820/27000 resistance
26625/26535 support
The trade tensions between China and the United States eased, and investment sentiment improved. Dow futures rebounded after strong U.S. jobs data. But those factors had already contributed to the gains in Dow futures last night. U.S. non-farm payrolls data were strong today, but the Fed chairman's speech is likely to leave interest rates unchanged, lowering the investment climate. After the Fed chairman's speech, maybe the Dow narrowed its gains and dipped below its advisory support level.

BTCUSD:
10720 /10860 resistance
10350 / 10050 support
We mentioned here yesterday, If trade tensions, bullish the gold price and cryptocurrencies demand. The bitcoin price followed the gold price rose. Yesterday the trade tensions cooled with China officials intended to accept US offers. Besides, the US ADP payroll good and over-expectation. That could affect the FOMC monetary policy decision; it could hold the interest rate and could let the bitcoin price fall. Please keep on eyes today, the US non-farm payroll. If the US job data lower than expected, bullish bitcoin price.

ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 September 10

Personal opinions today:

The British parliament has voted to prevent a "no-deal" Brexit, reducing the risk to the UK. On the other hands, the market expects trade talks cool. Two significant drivers, Dow futures, crude oil price and the dollar, rose against the yen, while gold fell more than expected.

In European trading hours today, a conversation between the UK's August unemployment rate and jobless claims, also the Bank of England governor Carney talks was in focus. New housing starts in Canada and building permits in Canada during U.S. trading hours. U.S. business retail sales and July job openings, keep an eye on the dollar and Dow futures reference that outlook. But in the U.S. afternoon trading hours, the outlook for API crude oil inventories and the expected U.S. consumer price index and retail sales could lead to a correction in Dow futures and crude oil prices.

Today suggestion:

Eurodollar
1.1065/1.1085 resistance
1.1000/1.0985 support
The Euro did not hit its 20-day average resistance of 1.1065 when coming to the European central bank monetary policy meeting on Thursday in anticipation of a policy easing and interest rate cut. The dollar remained stable, and the Euro had an opportunity to extend losses before any Eurozone data showed growth, with the euro likely to hit or breakthrough 1.0985 support and see if it can break through 1.1065 and 1.1085 resistance in the short term. Without a breakthrough, It was believed that the fundamentals and technical still give the Euro a chance to fall.

Pound against dollar
1.2365/1.2385 resistance
1.2300/1.2280 support
The risk of a no-deal Brexit is cooling, indirectly pound gains. Britain's parliament has voted to block an early general election. A successful bid for an extension or an orderly Brexit is expected to be an essential trading indicator for the pound, which is likely to be highly volatile. The pound is expected to come downward ahead of today's UK jobs data and comments from the governor of the Bank of England. Technically, please pay attention to 1.2400 significant resistance and 1.2280 support. Short - term breakthrough 1.2280, the trend may fall further.

Australian dollar to US dollar
0.6865/0.6885 resistance
0.6825/0.6800 support
Australia, which has seen consumer confidence and business sentiment fall but has not benefited from a rise in China Aug CPl, is waiting to see how China's data play out in the afternoon. Depending on the results, these factors can, directly and indirectly, affect the fluctuation of the Australian dollar. Technical bit support must pay attention to 0.6825 and 0.6800 support.

Dollar to yen
107.55/107.80 resistance
107.15/106.90 support
Dow futures and Nikkei futures rose, leading the dollar stronger against the yen. Yesterday, if the Dow and global stock markets continue to rise, the dollar may break 107 yen. Technically, the initial assumption is that Dow futures and Nikkei futures will continue to grow, with resistance at 107.55 and 107.80. If Dow futures and Nikkei futures reverse their decline, it is believed to lead the dollar to fall against the yen.

Us dollar to Canadian dollar
1.3205/1.3225 resistance
1.3160/1.3140 support
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, mentioned it was actively controlling production by both OPEC members and non-OPEC members. Technically, the market is waiting for the latest crude oil inventory change data after the U.S. dollar broke through its support level of 1.3200 against the Canadian dollar, which may limit the rise in crude oil prices and limit the volatility of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar.

U.S. crude oil futures
58.85/59.45 resistance
57.80/57.40 support
Saudi Arabia, the largest crude producer, mentioned controlling production by OPEC members and non-OPEC members. U.S. and China trade tensions eased, and British no-deal Brexit was cooling down bullish oil prices. Technically, crude oil price reference resistance of 57.05 and 57.35 is considered a significant resistance range breakthrough. Before the market looks at U.S. API crude inventories, watch out for a possible roadblock to the rally. To adjust, first refer to the ten and 20-hour moving averages, respectively, 57.80 and 57.40 support bits. If the crude oil inventory increases, the crude oil price adjustment falls sharply.

Gold
1495/1498 resistance
1482/1479 support
The market, which is watching U.S. August CPl and U.S. retail sales data this week, had believed gold would consolidate above support levels of 1506 or 1503 ahead of the results, with an opportunity to test the resistance of 1524 and 1527. However, the British parliament passed a bill to prevent the no-deal Brexit and re-election, and the investment risk decreased slightly, investors put their money into the risky investment of the stock market, the demand for gold fell, and the gold price adjusted to 1482 dollars before the rebound started near the starting point in July. There is an opportunity for gold to gain on Thursday after the European central bank's interest rate if hike and U.S. inflation data CPI lower.

U.S. Dow Jones industrial average futures US30
26870/27000 resistance
26665/26540 support
The trade tensions between China and the United States eased, and investment sentiment improved. The British parliament passed a bill to prevent a no-deal Brexit and an election. The risk of investment decreased slightly, and investors invested in the stock market risk. These factors are reflected in the rise in Dow futures. The market is awaiting U.S. August CPl data and retail sales data, as well as comments from the U.S. President and the federal reserve, which could move markets in the short term. The Fed chairman's comments earlier left interest rates unchanged, limited the Dow future‘s gains and dip below support.

BTCUSD:
10550 /10750 resistance
10050 / 9850 support
The market expected the FOMC might hold monetary policy decision in September, and it could hold the interest rate, the bitcoin price fell. Incoming, we have to look at the Dow future. If Dow fell, the bitcoin price and cryptocurrencies upward.

Personal opinions today:

The British parliament successfully blocked a "no-deal" Brexit, the risk of Britain cooling down, and the market is also looking for progress in china-us trade talks. More important, the report said U.S. inflation remained moderate, but the labour market was tight, with temporary jobs being created and higher wages attracting jobs. Dow Jones industrial average futures were trading down to up in late trading yesterday after news that U.S. companies expect the economy to continue to grow in the fourth quarter boosted the investment climate. As usual, the dollar rose against the yen and gold fell. Oil futures prices had been adjusted before Opec, and the EIA released their monthly crude market reports. But U.S. API crude oil inventories fell sharply, oil futures prices rebounded.

Watch the dollar and dow futures today. During U.S. trading hours, note the monthly U.S. PPI rate for August and the monthly U.S. wholesale sales rate for July. Opec and EIA crude oil market reports may lead to dow futures, and crude oil prices adjust.

Today suggestion :

Eurodollar
1.1060/1.1080 resistance
1.1015/1.0095 support
The Euro has barely breached its 20-day average after hitting resistance in recent days as markets wait to see when the European central bank monetary policy decision tomorrow in anticipation of a policy easing and interest rate cut. Today's focus is on the U.S. producer price index for August. Technically, watch Euro 1.1060 and 1.1080 resistance for short-term. It is believed that after the European central bank meeting tomorrow, a new round of monetary stimulus policy is expected to boost the Euro.

Pound against dollar
1.2365/1.2385 resistance
1.2315/1.2295 support
The risk of a no-deal Brexit is fading as Britain's parliament votes to block a re-election. But it will be difficult to boost the pound further without an extension of the Oct. 31 deadline. The deal is expected to be a key trading indicator for the pound as the British parliament debates a deadline extension and an orderly exit from the European Union. Today's market focus on the U.S. producer price index in August and the performance of the U.S. dollar. Technically, please pay attention to 1.2400 significant resistance and 1.2280 support.

Australian dollar to U.S. dollar
0.6865/0.6885 resistance
0.6825/0.6800 support
Australia reported a drop in consumer confidence and business sentiment. The Australian dollar pared losses yesterday as China's CPl rose. We are now watching the scale of China's money supply and social financing to see how China renminbi performs. If it rose, may indirectly bullish Australian dollars. Technical bit support, look for 0.6825 and 0.6800 support. Resistance levels 0.6865 and 0.6885.

Dollar to yen
107.80/108.00 resistance
107.25/107.05 support
Dow and Nikkei futures rose, while the dollar strengthened against the yen. Technically, the preliminary assumption is that Dow futures and Nikkei futures will continue to rise, resistance to 107.80 and 108.00. Note that if Dow futures and Nikkei futures go into reverse, we believe the dollar-yen will follow go down.

US dollar to Canadian dollar
1.3175/1.3190 resistance
1.3140/1.3125 support
News that oil producers will control production and stabilize oil prices. The price of crude oil rose, giving the Canadian dollar a lift. But today, OPEC and EIA released their monthly oil market reports, before the release of oil price adjustment. And Canada's Q2 capacity utilization and U.S. August PPI data are likely to limit the rise in the Canadian dollar and suggest staying on the sidelines. Technically, the U.S. dollar against Canadian dollars is worth 1.3125.

US crude oil futures
58.45/58.80 resistance
57.35/57.05 support
Crude oil prices were supported by a sharp drop in US API crude stocks. Technically, crude oil price reference supports 57.35 and 57.05. After breaking the 10 and 20-hour averages, crude oil futures could test resistance of 58.45 and 58.80. But note today's monthly oil market reports from OPEC and the EIA, which could help lift crude futures prices if they show an increase.

Gold
1497/1501 resistance
1483/1479 support
This week's U.S. retail sales and CPl data for August raised the risk of investors investing in equities, while gold prices adjusted to lower as demand decreasing. But, there is an opportunity for gold to gain on Thursday after the European central bank's interest rate hike and U.S. inflation data. Short term the gold price will focus on 1483 or 1479 support and 1497 or 1501 resistance.

U.S. Dow Jones industrial average futures US30
26970/27060 resistance
26765/26660 support
The trade war between China and the United States eased, and investment sentiment improved. The British parliament succeeded in preventing a hard Brexit and avoiding re-election. These factors are reflected in the rise in Dow futures. Markets are waiting for August's CPl data and retail sales data, as well as the latest comments from the U.S. President and the federal reserve. Dow futures are expected to have a chance to pare gains if the 27,000 resistance break fails and dip below recommended support.

BTCUSD:
10350 /10550 resistance
10050 / 9850 support
The market expected the FOMC may hold monetary policy decision in September, it could hold the interest rate, the bitcoin price fell. In coming, we have looking at the Dow future.

ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 September 12

Personal opinions today:

The President of the United States and his administration announced the two important announcements yesterday. First, the U.S. eased sanctions on Iran, and the market expected an increase in crude oil supply, leading to a decline in crude oil futures prices, which indirectly hurt the Canadian dollar. Second, the U.S. government delayed by two weeks raising tariffs on $250 billion of Chinese imports. The planned extension is expected to pave the way for high-level talks in October. The investment climate improved sharply, with the Dow closing up to near its July high. Dow futures rose, gold and silver prices and the yen fell. The news boosted China's currency, the Australian and New Zealand dollars, as well as regional stock markets.

Two big announcements today, the European central bank's interest rate decision, ECB President Mario Draghi held a press conference and the US monthly CPI rate in August update could cause market volatility. First, before U.S. trading, the European central bank announced its decision on interest rates, with expectations that the ECB would choose to cut rates and launch a new round of TLTRO. After that, the European central bank press conference. It is believed he will quote the contents of the resolution and the monetary policy and outlook of the European central bank, and name of the next ECB President. The Euro could be boosted if the European central bank starts a plan to cut interest rates and raise funds, which would help to lift investor pessimism about the European economy and boost investment. Besides, the number of U.S. jobless claims last week and the revised U.S. CPI for August will weigh on the dollar's performance. Meanwhile, the August CPI data reflects current U.S. inflation, which could influence market expectations for the federal reserve's policy meeting next Thursday. Gold is expected to fluctuate against the Euro and other European currencies today, which is more likely to lead to volatility in Dow futures and crude oil prices.

Today suggestion:

Eurodollar
1.1080/1.1105 resistance
1.0085/1.0060 support
The Euro fell after hitting an average of just 20 days of resistance for several days in a row as markets awaited a meeting of the European central bank in anticipation of a policy easing and interest rate cut. Today's European central bank interest rate is a crucial moment. If the ECB starts the relevant economic stimulus package, the Euro could boost the rise. Also, the market is looking to August U.S. inflation data CPI results. A stronger dollar could limit the euro's gains if the data beat expectations by 0.1% or were flat. Current technical trends are expected, the Euro fell before the European central bank's interest rate, after the results may rebound.

Pound against dollar
1.2365/1.2380 resistance
1.2295/1.2280 support
There was no UK data today, but the European central bank's interest rate results and the euro's volatility could indirectly affect British pound. The risk of a no-deal Brexit is cooling as Britain waits for a better deal before an October 31 deadline. Besides, the market is looking at August U.S. inflation data CPI results and the performance of the dollar. Technically, please pay attention to 1.2400 significant resistance and 1.2280 crucial support. If pound break 1.2280, the trend may fall further.

Australian dollar to US dollar
0.6885/0.6905 resistance
0.6845/0.6830 support
The government of the United States has extended tariffs on 250 billion dollars worth of Chinese imports, easing the trade war and bullish the Australian dollar. The market is watching U.S. August inflation data and the performance of the dollar today. If the CPI meets or beats expectations, it could support the U.S. dollar's rise, putting downward on the Australian dollar. Technical resistance levels keep an eye on 0.6885 and 0.6905. If you want to adjust the support bit, please refer to 0.6845 or 0.6830 support. It is believed that the New Zealand dollar will continue to follow the trend and pace of the Australian dollar against the US dollar.

Dollar to yen
108.15/108.35 resistance
107.75/107.55 support
Good news from the US President, Iran sanctions and easing of the China and US trade war, bullish Dow and Nikkei futures to rise, while the dollar strengthened against the yen. Besides, Japan's economic activity index fell broadly today, with only a rebound in Japanese machinery orders limiting the yen's decline. Technically, the resistance level is expected to rise to 108.15 to 108.35, assuming Dow and Nikkei futures continue to rise during Asian and European trading hours. Note, given the performance of CPI data for August in the United States today. If the information is estimated to be lower than the previous value, the result may be lower than the previous value and expectations, Dow and Nikkei futures may fall and believe in leading the dollar to fall against the yen.

US dollar to Canadian dollar
1.3200/1.3225 resistance
1.3160/1.3140 support
After the release of the OPEC and EIA monthly oil market reports, the US President said easing sanctions on Iran could boost oil supplies and prices. A rise in Canada's second-quarter capacity utilization rate and a drop in U.S. producer prices in August limited the Canadian dollar's decline, suggesting that the U.S. CPI results from today and the prospect of easing news, bullish crude oil futures.

US crude oil futures
57.05/57.60 resistance
55.90/55.60 support
Crude oil prices were supported by sharp declines in U.S. API and EIA inventories and positive outlooks in OPEC and EIA monthly crude market reports. But the price of crude oil has been sharply revised after the US President said easing sanctions on Iran could boost supplies. Technically, crude oil prices lost reference support of 57.05, and the 10-hour average was pulled down. The trade war easing, the United States economic data well, bullish crude oil futures. Test 57.05 resistance. Technical support bits can be referred to 55.90 and 55.60 support.

Gold
1500/1502 resistance
1487/1485 support
The market looked ahead to U.S. retail sales data for August and U.S. retail sales data for tomorrow, as gold prices consolidated at low levels ahead of the European central bank's interest rate hike. The European central bank's interest rate decision today, the strength of its monetary easing policy and the outcome of the US CPl. If the European central bank cuts interest rates by more than 0.2% and U.S. CPI falls over expectations, there are opportunities to rally gold. Note Dow futures, if up, gold price short term focus on $1487 and $1485 support. In contrast, Dow futures fell, and gold prices are expected to test resistance at $1,500 and $1,502. Or it could break the 1,502 to $1,510.

U.S. Dow Jones industrial average futures US30
27360/27520 resistance
27075/26860 support
The trade war eased, investment sentiment improved, the British parliament successfully prevented a no-deal Brexit and avoided re-election, and the United States eased sanctions on Iran. These factors are reflected in Dow futures rose. Markets are waiting for U.S. August CPI data today and retail sales data tomorrow, as well as the latest comments from the President and the Fed, to see where the Fed's monetary policy is headed next week. Dow futures are expected to have a chance to limit their gains; the key is US CPI data performance today. If Dow futures break 27075 support, there is a chance to test the lower recommendation support, 26860.

BTCUSD:

East Africa – ATFX hosts an intense and innovative trading day, explaining everything from the basics of trading to the essential concepts.

The global brokerage ATFX concentrated its efforts in Africa after a successful start to 2019. The company held the Africa roadshows in various cities, including Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, Kampala in Uganda, Nairobi and Nakuru in Kenya

There was a big demand for the roadshow in each region. ATFX is delighted with the levels of engagement and, in particular, the passion for trading that was evident throughout the various seminars held.

The turnout was high for both FX training sessions, which were offered completely free of charge, with over 500 forex enthusiasts attending the events in total.
