Weekly Forecast 26th November 2017
Last week, we made no forecast, as there were no strong counter-trend movements. This week, we again make no forecast, as there were again no strong counter-trend movements.
This week has been dominated by relative strength in the Euro, and relative weakness in the U.S. Dollar.
