Forex and Futures: RSI signal, Relative Strenght Index

RSI is a popular indicator commonly used to confirm price movement and help identify turning points in the market. It was created by Welles Wilder Jr. In general RSI is used either as an indicator of overbought or oversold market conditions in consolidating markets or to identify divergences at trend exhaustion. The RSI is a price-following oscillator that ranges between 0 and 100. A popular method of analyzing the RSI is to look for a divergence in which the currency price is making a new high, but the RSI is failing to surpass its previous high. This divergence is an indication of an impending reversal. When the RSI then turns down and falls below its most recent trough, it is said to have completed a "failure swing."

Mexico's Peso Ends Weaker At 10.9125/Dlr On Risk Aversion

Mexico's peso closed weaker against the dollar Monday as local stocks came under heavy selling along with other emerging markets. The peso was quoted closing in Mexico City at MXN10.9125 to the dollar, compared with MXN10.9285 at the opening and MXN10.8725 at Friday's close. Emerging market stocks were hard hit as investor worries about the economic fallout from U.S. financial sector problems led them to cut back on riskier assets. The Mexican stock market's IPC index was down 2.8%, despite gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. "The main factor acting against the peso in the short term is the perception of lower growth in the U.S.," the Invex brokerage said in its weekly outlook.
