ECONOMIC RELEASE
Believe it or not!!!
Belgium's royal family has apologized to members
of the public who were sent official cards that
wrongly appeared to announce the death of King
Philippe's mother. 150 people who sent letters of
condolence on the death in December of Paola's
sister-in-law Queen Fabiola received replies
thanking them for their "comforting words following
the death of Her Majesty Queen Paola". Paola, 77,
is a blonde Italian princess who has long brought a
dash of glamour to the Belgian royal house. She
has played a less public role since her husband
abdicated in favor of their son Philippe in 2013.
Queen Fabiola, the Spanish widow of Albert's late
brother King Baudouin, died on Dec.5 aged 86!!

bounce and shifted some of the focus to today's US jobs report. A weak result will likely end the
pair consolidation phase and push it higher; otherwise the 1.1240/1.1460 will carry on as Greek
situation remain a key factor till the Feb. 28 aid deadline!!!
USD/JPY Another solid US payroll reading coupled with a possible rebound in a wage growth may
revive the view of an early FED rate hike. In addition, hopes for an EU-Greek debt deal are still alive
discouraging the pair push down. 116.50/119 is expected to hold for the coming session where we
keep on buying near the lower boundary using a stop at 116. Good Luck!
GBP/USD inched higher clearing the 1.5269 as better than expected UK data boosted the bullish
sentiment and increased bets for a rate hike in 2016. As for today, we prefer to trade 1.5250/1.5450
while using stops on boundaries awaiting a clearer view.
USD/CHF is holding well above 0.9175 as the SNB is keeping the EUR/CHF buying strategy intact
