 MDPS: Qatar trade surplus touches QR33.2bn in July – Qatar’s trade balance showed a surplus of QR33.2bn, an increase of QR0.3bn (0.8%) in July 2014 on a YoY basis.

On the other hand, the imports of goods in July amounted to QR8.3bn, a decrease of 0.3% YoY over the value recorded in July 2013.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE QE INDEX
Source: Bloomberg
The QE Index snapped its three-week winning streak and ended on a bearish note. The index after recording a new all-time high of 13,993.34 on Wednesday, witnessed a sharp decline especially in the closing auction on Thursday as sustained selling pressure pulled the index below the 13,450.0 level. Moreover, the index penetrated below many important psychological levels along with the strong ascending trendline support, which is a warning signal for a potential reversal. This has changed the underlying sentiment of the index, which has been bullish till now. Meanwhile, the index has an immediate support of the 21-day moving average (currently at 13,411.89). Any retreat below the 21-day moving average may clearly signify that the index may be due for further correction and move lower to test the 13,350.0 level. Traders may need to keep a close watch on 13,350.0 as any sustained weakness below this level may lead to a decline toward 13,200.0. On the flip side, the index needs to move above 13,600.0 for the bulls to come back in action. Meanwhile, the RSI has shown a negative divergence, while the MACD is about to cross the signal line into the negative territory, implying a further retracement.
DEFINITIONS OF KEY TERMS USED IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator – RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between 0 to 100. The index is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, indicating that a correction is likely. On the other hand, if the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the index may be getting oversold and therefore likely to bounce back.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator – The indicator consists of the MACD line and a signal line. The divergence or the convergence of the MACD line with the signal line indicates the strength in the momentum during the uptrend or downtrend, as the case may be. When the MACD crosses the signal line from below and trades above it, it gives a positive indication. The reverse is the situation for a bearish trend.
Candlestick chart – A candlestick chart is a price chart that displays the high, low, open, and close for a security. The ‘body’ of the chart is portion between the open and close price, while the high and low intraday movements form the ‘shadow’. The candlestick may represent any time frame. We use a one-day candlestick chart (every candlestick represents one trading day) in our analysis.
Doji candlestick pattern – A Doji candlestick is formed when a security's open and close are practically equal. The pattern indicates indecisiveness, and based on preceding price actions and future confirmation, may indicate a bullish or bearish trend reversal.
Shooting Star/Inverted Hammer candlestick patterns – These candlestick patterns have a small real body (open price and close price are near to each other), and a long upper shadow (large intraday movement on the upside). The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that forms after a rally. The Inverted Hammer looks exactly like a Shooting Star, but forms after a downtrend. Inverted Hammers represent a potential bullish trend reversal.
