Charts to Watch-GBP/USD red flag, Yen intervention, Canadian CPI
Repeats with no changes
July 16 (Reuters) -Chart 1: Red flags for GBP/USD bulls
A surprisingly hawkish speech from Bank of England’s Chief Economist, Huw Pill, which in turn has cast a doubt over an August rate cut – now priced as a 50/50 chance – has paved the way for cable to reach 1.30. Sterling has also capitalized on a softer dollar following last week's soft U.S. inflation report. However, red flags are emerging for GBP/USD bulls. On July 12, the daily RSI closed above 75 for the first time in a year. This often marks a contrarian signal providing an interim top and since 2010, this is now the 11th occasion. Given that net long positioning is crowded, risks are somewhat asymmetrically skewed to the downside. UK CPI will be a key catalyst.
Chart 2: Yen needs more than intervention to sustain a recovery
Markets suspect Japanese officials intervened on July 11, with initial data from the Bank of Japan’s current account balances suggesting that intervention took place to the tune of $21bln (or JPY 3.5trln). For context, intervention in April/May amounted to $61bln. Though, for a sustained recovery in the yen, a change in fundamentals, particularly from a monetary policy standpoint, will be needed. As has been the case previously, FX intervention has provided a temporary pause to yen weakness.
Chart 3: Canadian CPI among final data inputs before July decision
Currently, market pricing attaches a 76% probability of a second 25bps rate cut from the Bank of Canada at the July meeting. The odds of said action received a boost from the dovish U.S. CPI report, which has cemented pricing of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. The bounce back in Canadian CPI in the May report does raise the risk that the BoC expectations are perhaps mispriced. The bank’s preferred measure of inflation – 3-month annualized median and trimmed CPI – rose to 2.3-2.7% from 1.5-1.8%. That said, this week’s CPI report will be among the final data inputs before the July meeting.
