European Central Bank left its main policy rate unchanged at 1 per cent ? the lowest ever. They did not rule out the possibility of a further cut, but financial markets observers believe it could be a year before ECB rates change, and not necessarily another cut.The ECB did put pressure on eurozone commercial banks to kick-start lending to business and consumers, as it made clear official interest rates could remain at the current record low for a protracted period. It urged banks to live up to their responsibilities in reviving credit flows. Central Bank declared it was happy with last week?s results of its first injection of unlimited one-year liquidity, which saw it injecting over 400 Billion Euros into the eurozone banking system. ECB's statement said the initiative was now lying with the banks to ensure the funds were used to boost economic growth prospects. End of June is an important check point in annual performance. Both of our services had very good marks for both month and the year. We updated our detailed results pages through Friday. Last week's gains are shown below. (Sunday 07.05.2009.)

| Last week's results.

With summer season starting about now, markets are expected to behave a little more erratic fashion. Something that is referred to as "summer slow down". This could have been why our USD-CAD trade from last week didn't happen. Price never came close to our sell order at 1.1410. This order remains valid.

We mentioned possible "summer slowdown" earlier on, but is not going to slow us down. We are as always committed to finding good trades and we hope this trend will continue through summer. For this week we are staying with Canadian Dollar, but move to another pair. Spotlight is on EUR-CAD and we want to sell it. Our order is set at 1.6158. If initiated, we should see price fall to 1.6060 in a reasonably short time.
We wish everybody great trading week!
