Will this be good or bad for euro when they hold rates steady. I have seen both instances in the past, up and down euro.

Oil hovering around $40, OPEC looking to cut production again, US inventories UP, global demand down, I see euro dropping in the short term but where is the bottom? Will we see 1.26 - 1.25 by March/April, who knows?

Holding rates steady signifies a wait and see how things will turn out till next meeting.

Should I just flip a coin, easier. Opinions please, thanks.

Yes that makes sense but in a recent book i read they stated this;

Cause: Interest rates go up, and as a result the cost to borrow money increases. When the cost of borrowing money goes up, fewer people will be interested in borrowing money.

Effect: The demand for the currency will go down, and fewer people will buy the currency creating a weaker currency.

I guess they're stating it all boils down to supply and demand.

I would love your feedback to this,

Thanks

Interest rates mean almost nothing right now. When money was easy to borrow, the carry trade and other methods to arbitrage the currency markets were all over the place, leverage many times I am sure. Now money, albeit cheap to borrow, have interest rates spreads that really amount to little or nothing; the few points aren't there anymore, and since you can no longer afford to leverage and have to raise capital....it's just a mess. Why play interest rates spreads when you can get corporate bonds that are yielding huge dividends?

As far as interest rates going up, there is two sides to the equation. Borrowing costs go up which means those doing the lending get paid more - i.e. the carry trade. Short low interest rate currency and Long high interest rate currency. Which means:

Cause: Interest rates go up, attracts money from lower interest rate currencies.

Effect: Currency appreciates and other currency goes down.

The [NZD/YEN] mainly stays at the 45's with actions above 46 and below 45 being short lived from Feb 3. The zone from 44.80 to the Feb 2 low of 44.19 is bottomish in terms of price actions. The 21-days MA is down to 47.92, and the Kijun-sen caps at 46.38. Heavish conditions continue. The [STG/NZD] struggles to move higher at the territory above 2.8, and so far cannot clear 2.86 on NY close basis (not seen since Oct 27).

The commodity currencies including the Loonie saw volatile trading initial trading higher against the Greenback but ultimately ended the NY session on the downside on the back of a weaker Wall St and also on earlier news that Fitch downgraded Russia's long-term foreign debt. The [USD/CAD] rose from an earlier low of 1.2226 to and o/n high of 1.2440 before closing at 1.2324. The Loonie could come under pressure later as the Ivey PMI f/c to come in at 40.0 will likely continue to show a further contraction in business activity as the country grapples with a recession & ever-declining commodity prices. Buying orders at 1.2280 by Canadian corporates will provide support and selling orders at 1.2375 by specs will keep the range this session.

Interest rates aren't meaningless. I'm not even gonna go into that one. Tomorrows interest rate announcement will most likely create volatility
