US Open Note – Stocks wane and dollar improves

Posted on September 16, 2021 at 2:16 pm GMT

US retail sales, jobless claims and Canadian ADP Non-Farm labour data take centre stage US major indices are slightly lower as the greenback continues its comeback. It seems consumption endured even as job growth remained burdened last month with August headline retail sales rising to 0.7%, beating July’s -1.8% figure and expectations of -0.8% m/m, while the core data soared to 1.8%, overshooting the -0.1% m/m estimation. Furthermore, the Philly Fed Manufacturing index came in at 30.7, eclipsing August’s and [..]

US Open Note – Yen and oil surge as futures are steady

Posted on September 15, 2021 at 1:00 pm GMT

US inflation mildly affects dollar US inflation had a mild negative influence on the dollar, but yesterday’s fragile risk sentiment gave it a boost. This suggests that markets believe the Fed will delay tapering next week, which might lead to a range bound environment until the end of the week. In addition, China’s efforts to rein in private enterprises and the impact of the delta virus strain on economic development are among them. The US dollar index is heading south around the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), [..]

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD edges across 38.2% Fibonacci around 0.71

Posted on September 15, 2021 at 11:17 am GMT

NZDUSD is creeping sideways along the 0.7100 level, which happens to be surrounded by the 100- and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs) at 0.7070 and 0.7120 respectively, after its latest rally ran out of steam. Judging from the SMAs, they are mostly promoting a neutral price development. The short-term oscillators appear fairly flat and are signalling weak and mixed signals in directional momentum. The MACD has flattened towards its red trigger line in the positive area, while the RSI is [..]

New Zealand GDP likely jumped again in Q2 as RBNZ edges closer to rate hike – Forex News Preview

Posted on September 14, 2021 at 3:32 pm GMT

New Zealand may be mired in lockdown currently but investors have been busy speculating that the country’s central bank will be the first to raise interest rates in a post-pandemic world. With a rate hike fully priced in for October, Thursday’s GDP data for the second quarter (Wednesday, 22:45 GMT) is already seen to be outdated and is not expected to change much about the policy outlook. However, a positive surprise might encourage some traders to bet on a 50 [..]

US Open Note – Stocks push up and dollar index slips below 92.44  

Posted on September 14, 2021 at 1:52 pm GMT

Markets and the greenback’s reaction connected to US CPI data Today’s pause on market volatility seems to have been hinged around market jitters prior to the release of the US CPI data, which is somewhat seen as the key that opens the taper door. The question is, has the rush to return to normality and subsequent supply bottlenecks been the main driver for inflation, suggesting it is temporary, or is there a deeper reason which the Fed is overlooking? These [..]

US Open Note – Dollar rises ahead of busy week

Posted on September 13, 2021 at 12:46 pm GMT

Next on radar is US CPI tomorrow A busy week is on the table this week in terms of economic data in the US. This month’s CPI report is expected to show that inflation has slowed down a bit from July’s 13-year high of 5.4% in July. Inflationary pressures will be closely monitored by investors to determine whether the Fed’s tapering will be gradual or quick. The dollar continues to rise with the US dollar index developing near 92.87, surpassing the 50-day [..]

US Open Note – Wall Street could test bearish weekly close; loonie bulls gear after mixed jobs data

Posted on September 10, 2021 at 1:47 pm GMT

US-China relations hit the wires An overnight phone call between the US president Joe Biden and China’s leader Xi Jinping occupied the media on Friday. Not because of the market reaction it caused since that was negligible, but because of the potential positive implications the dialogue could have on the broken US-China trade relations in the future. Although both presidents are focused on managing pandemic headwinds at home, the US trade deficit with China has worsened to fresh highs since the last conversation in [..]

Global equities in better mood, Biden-Xi call helps, but Wall Street still looking wobbly Euro buys Lagarde’s ‘not tapering’ depiction, stays sluggish after ECB cuts QE pace Dollar slides again but on track for weekly gains as Fed officials reaffirm taper timeline Stocks buoyed by hopes of improved Sino-US ties Equity markets were looking more cheery on Friday after somewhat of a tumultuous week.

Technical Analysis – NZDUSD keeps positive tone with bounce on 50 MA

Posted on September 9, 2021 at 3:37 pm GMT

NZDUSD’s recent positive traction off the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) appears to be taking a breather around the blue Kijun-sen line at 0.7122. That said, the SMAs are promoting upside tendencies in the pair and the bullish crossover of the 200-period SMA by the 100-day one could further fuel positive forces. The short-term oscillators are conveying the message that buyers are pushing to drive the price of the pair higher. The MACD and the red trigger line are a [..]

Daily Market Comment – Euro steady ahead of ECB but stocks hit by market jitters

Posted on September 9, 2021 at 9:23 am GMT

Euro holds above $1.18 ahead of expected ‘tapering’ by ECB Fresh China crackdowns and fears of slowing growth dent sentiment Stocks slip, dollar rebound eases but yen edges up ECB to taper but call it something else The European Central Bank will probably join the taper bandwagon when it announces the outcome of its policy meeting later today. However, with some way still to go for the Eurozone recovery and a sizeable degree of uncertainty about the outlook, policymakers will [..]
