Passive infinitive

Even though the French infinitive translates as "to + verb," the French sometimes needs to be preceded by a preposition. This is the case with the passive infinitive, which requires à in front of the infinitive, as in À louer and Je n'ai rien à lire, and is commonly used with indefinite and negative words.

EarnForex.com Monthly Newsletter

*July 2, 2013*

Welcome to the latest issue of EarnForex.com newsletter — July
2013.

In this issue of EarnForex.com newsletter I will remind you about the
most important Forex-related events of the last month and will also
show you the list of the site's latest updates.

*
Overview of the major currency pairs' performance in June*

*EUR/USD* — posted an inverted V shape in June, rising during the
first half and falling through the second one. It was at the maximum
at 1.3416 on June 19, at its minimum at 1.2955 on June 3, finishing
the month at 1.3007.

*GBP/USD* — behaved similarly to EUR/USD. The highest monthly rate
was at 1.5751 on June 17, while the lowest — at 1.5165 on June 28.
GBP/USD finished June trading at 1.5211.

*USD/JPY* — unlike USD-based pairs demonstrated a real V-pattern in
June. The pair rose to as high as 100.72 on June 3, reaching a bottom
at 93.79 on June 13 and closing the month with the 99.12 rate.

*EUR/JPY* — traded mostly sideways. The monthly high was at 131.40
on June 4, the monthly low — at 124.96 on June 13. Trading ended at
128.94 for this currency pair.

*GBP/JPY* — showed nearly the same curve as EUR/JPY. The maximum
level for this pair was 154.23 on June 11, while the minimum —
147.10 on June 13. The month's trading ended at 150.78 for GBP/JPY.

*
Fundamental background of the past month*

A potential tampering of Federal Reserve quantitative easing was the
major theme on the Forex market in June. At first, traders were unsure
if the Fed will indeed wants to scale back stimulus. The relatively
weak ADP employment report
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/05/us-dollar-struggles-following-weak-jobs-data/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
strengthened such doubts. Non-farm payrolls
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/07/greenback-gets-upper-hand-on-payrolls-data/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
made investors less doubtful about such possibility even as the data
was rather mixed. And then the Fed and Chairman Ben Bernanke spoke and
the market fell into disarray. Speculators interpreted the comments as
signs that a reduction of accommodative measures is indeed near and
the dollar surged as a result
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/20/bernanke-announcement-prompts-us-dollar-rally/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
, while other currencies sank. Policy makers tried to downplay worries
about QE end
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/27/dollar-mixed-as-policy-makers-say-qe-end-is-not-near/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
, saying that it is not near, but their efforts did not affect the
greenback to a great degree.

The euro rallied briefly after the European Central Bank suggested
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/06/ecb-makes-euro-stronger/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
that the eurozone economy is on track to recovery, but the gains did
not hold long
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/07/euro-pulls-back-after-yesterdays-bounce/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
. The German court was judging
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/11/euro-trades-mixed-with-all-eyes-on-germany/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
if the ECB policies are constitutional, but it is not likely that a
decision will be reached anytime soon. The shared 17-nation currency
dropped
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/19/euro-loses-to-dollar-after-fed-meeting-remains-firm-against-other-majors/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
, as well as other currencies, after Bernanke suggested that stimulus
may scaled down.

The yen had a very good start of the month as at first Japanese policy
makers did not showed willingness to continue with their aggressive
moves
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/07/yen-gains-as-aso-says-no-intervention-needed/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
to weaken the currency and then the Bank of Japan refrained from
additional stimulus
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/11/boj-leaves-monetary-policy-unchanged-yen-jumps/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
. Yet the currency halted the rally and, surprisingly enough, was
falling
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/25/yen-halts-decline-unable-to-rally/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
even as risk aversion was plaguing the market.

As one could expect, commodity currencies suffered during the month
that was marked by uncertainty and fears. The Canadian dollar fell
even as the Bank of Canada (which received a new leader) remained
inclined to raising interest rates in the future
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/06/cad-rallies-as-poloz-reiterates-interest-rate-hike-probable/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
. Of course, the Australian
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/18/rba-minutes-show-scope-for-additional-stimulus-aud-down/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
and New Zealand
<http://www.topforexnews.com/2013/06/13/nz-dollar-weaker-after-rbnz-meeting/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
dollars had no such support, and it was not a surprise that the
currencies were soft in June.

Gold continued to lose value with troubling pace. It fell below the
psychologically important $1,200 level
<http://www.commodityblog.com/gold-plunges-below-1200-to-record-low-in-three-years/?utm_source=n201306&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=n201306>
and reached the lowest level in three years.
