TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that the pace of rate hikes is likely to slow, but the peak level of rates will be higher than previously expected as there is a long way to go to curb above-trend inflation. “Moderating the pace of rate increases may come as soon as the December meeting,” Powell said in a speech on Wednesday at the Brookings Institution event in Washington. He added that the Fed’s monetary policy was approaching “the level of restraint that will be sufficient to bring inflation down.” About 70% of traders expect the Fed to slow rate hikes to 50 basis points in December, down from 75 basis points seen in the prior four Fed meetings. “We continue to expect the FOMC to slow the pace of rate hikes to 50bp in December and to 25bp in February, March, and May, raising the funds rate to a peak of 5-5.25%,” Goldman Sachs said in a note ahead of Powell’s remarks.

capitalstreetFX Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 FUNDAMENTAL AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS REPORT – 14 DECEMBER 2022 INFLATION IN THE UK DECREASED MORE THAN ANTICIPATED IN NOVEMBER, RELIEVING PRESSURE ON THE BOE. Asian stock market closes in green on Tuesday. The Shanghai Composite is down 0.14% at 3176.33 Overall, the Singapore MSCI is up 0.40% at 298.00. Over in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index is up 0.69% at 19596.20.

TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: – U.K. inflation fell by more than expected in November, easing the pressure on the Bank of England to keep raising interest rates against the backdrop of a recession. The consumer price index rose by 0.4% on the month, down from an alarming 2.0% in October that was caused by the adjustment of regulated household energy prices. Analysts had expected an increase of 0.6% ahead of time. That brought the year-on-year rate down to 10.7% from 11.1%. Stripping out volatile fuel and energy components, the core CPI rate also eased by more than expected, rising only 0.3%, rather than the 0.5% forecast. In annual terms, core inflation is now running at 6.3%, down from 6.5% last month. The figures come only hours before the Bank of England is set to announce its latest policy decisions. Market Summary as per 13/12/2022: European equities Tuesday closing. The DAX futures contract in Germany traded up 1.34% at 14497.89, CAC 40 futures up 1.42% at 6744.98.

TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: – The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) said on Thursday it would raise its base rate charged through the overnight discount window by 50 basis points to 4.75%, hours after the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a rate hike of the same margin. The U.S. central bank raised interest rates by half a percentage point. It projected at least an additional 75 basis points of increases in borrowing costs by the end of 2023, as well as a rise in unemployment and a near-stalling of economic growth. “Rate hike in the U.S. will not affect the financial and monetary stability of Hong Kong,” HKMA Chief Executive Eddie Yue told reporters. “Our monetary and financial markets continue to operate in a smooth and orderly manner. The Linked Exchange rate system (LERS) continues to work well.” Hong Kong’s monetary policy moves in lock-step with U.S. policy as the city’s currency is pegged to the greenback in a tight range of 7.75-7.85 per dollar.

capitalstreetFX Posted December 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Fundamental News And Technical Analysis Report – 19 December 2022 OIL INCREASES ON EXPECTATIONS OF CHINESE DEMAND AND U.S. SPR REPLENISHMENT Asian stock market closes in red on Friday. The Shanghai Composite is down 0.02% at 3167.86 Overall, the Singapore MSCI is down 1.82% at 289.40. Over in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index is up 0.42% at 19450.67. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 is down 1.87% at 27527.12. While the Topix index is down 1.20% at 1950.21 South Korea’s Kospi is down 0.04% at 2360.02. Australia S&P/ASX 200 is down 0.78% at 7148.70. TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: – Oil prices rose on Monday, recovering from steep losses in the prior session as markets bet on a demand recovery fuelled by China’s economic reopening, while the Biden administration’s pledge to begin refilling its strategic reserve also brightened the outlook for prices. Crude markets were buoyant as several Chinese officials, including President Xi Jinping, vowed to shore up economic growth after a year of COVID-19 lockdowns battered the world’s second-largest economy. The country has now begun relaxing several anti-COVID measures, with recent road and air transport metrics showing that fuel demand is already picking up. But China is also grappling with a large spike in COVID-19 infections, which analysts warn could spur market volatility amid conflicting signals over an economic reopening. An announcement by the U.S. Energy Department on Friday that it will begin repurchasing crude oil for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve also supported the outlook for stronger prices. This will be the United States’ first purchase since this year’s record 180-million-barrel release from the stockpile. Market Summary as of 16/12/2022: European equities Friday closing. The DAX futures contract in Germany traded down 0.67% at 13893.07, and CAC 40 futures were down 1.08% at 6452.63.

The Shanghai Composite is up 0.51% at 3073.70. Overall, the Singapore MSCI is flat 0.00% at 288.35. Over in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index is up 0.20% at 19741.14. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 is flat 0.00 at 26093.67. While the Topix index is down 0.19% at 1895.27 South Korea’s Kospi is down 0.48% at 2236.40. Australia S&P/ASX 200 up 0.26% at 7020.10. TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: Germany’s finance minister expects inflation in Europe’s biggest economy to drop to 7% this year and to continue falling in 2024 and beyond, but believes high energy prices will become the new normal. “The target remains 2%. This must be a top priority for the European Central Bank and the German government,” Christian Lindner said in an interview with Bild newspaper published on Sunday. Pushed by spiking energy prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and falling Russian energy exports, Germany’s year-on-year inflation has slowed slightly in November to 11.3% from a high of 11.6% the month prior. Lindner said Germany needs an “unbiased” energy policy in order to keep industry ticking, adding that domestic gas and oil fracking and nuclear energy should be considered in the energy sources mix along with renewables.

capitalstreetFX Posted January 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Fundamental News And Technical Analysis Report – 24 January 2023 THE DOLLAR STRUGGLES AS THE EURO APPROACHES A NINE-MONTH HIGH AND THE YEN RISE. Asian stock market closes in green on Monday. The Shanghai Composite is up 0.76% at 3264.81. Overall, the Singapore MSCI is up 0.69% at 303.88. Over in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index is up 1.82% at 22044.65. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 is up 1.33 at 26906.04. While the Topix index is up 0.96% at 1945.38 South Korea’s Kospi is up 0.63% at 2395.26. Australia S&P/ASX 200 is up 0.68% at 7457.30. TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: The dollar hovered near a nine-month low to the euro and gave back recent gains against the yen on Tuesday, as traders weighed the risks of a U.S. recession and the path for Federal Reserve policy. The U.S. dollar index – which measures the greenback against a basket of six peers, including the euro and yen – slipped 0.12% to 101.89, heading back towards the 7-1/2-month low of 101.51 reached last week. The euro added 0.08% to $1.0880, taking it closer to Monday’s peak of $1.0927, the strongest since April. “The U.S. is no longer the cleanest shirt in the global economic laundry,” said Ray Attrill, head of the foreign-exchange strategy at National Australia Bank (OTC: NABZY), who expects the dollar index to fall to 100 by end-March and the euro to rise to $1.10. “That’s integral to our bearish U.S. dollar view, that the U.S. is not going to be the global growth leader.” Money market traders see only two more quarter-point rate hikes by the Fed to a peak of around 5% by June, with two quarter-point cuts following before year-end. The Fed has insisted 75 basis points of more tightening is likely on the way. By contrast, Europe’s single currency has been buoyed by comments from European Central Bank officials pointing to further aggressive policy tightening. The latest was ECB President Christine Lagarde, who on Monday reiterated that the central bank will keep raising interest rates quickly to slow inflation, which remains far too high.

capitalstreetFX Posted January 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Fundamental News And Technical Analysis Report – 26 January 2023 THE DOLLAR SWAYS CLOSE TO AN EIGHT-MONTH LOW AHEAD OF CENTRAL BANK MEETINGS. Asian stock market closes in green on Wednesday. The Shanghai Composite is up 0.76% at 3264.81. Overall, the Singapore MSCI is down 0.51% at 298.38. Over in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index is up 1.82% at 22044.65. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 is up 0.35 at 27395.01. While the Topix index is up 0.39% at 1980.69, South Korea’s Kospi is up 1.39% at 2428.57. Australia S&P/ASX 200 is down 0.30% at 7468.30. TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: The dollar held close to an eight-month low against its peers on Thursday, as a gloomy U.S. corporate earnings season stoked recession fears and as traders stayed on guard ahead of a slew of central bank meetings next week. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, inched 0.1% higher to 101.65, after falling as low as 101.52 earlier in the session, testing last week’s eight-month trough of 101.51. Trading was thin, with Australia out for a holiday and some parts of Asia still away for the Lunar New Year. Downbeat earnings and guidance from U.S. companies and a string of tech sector layoffs have deepened fears of a sharp economic downturn in the United States, leading investors to pare back expectations on how much longer the Federal Reserve will need to aggressively raise interest rates. “There are now signs the U.S. economy may be slowing in a more meaningful manner,” said economists at Wells Fargo. “With the Fed no longer leading the charge on interest rate hikes and U.S. economic trends set to worsen, we now believe the U.S. dollar has entered a period of cyclical depreciation against most foreign currencies.” The Fed’s policy-setting committee will begin a two-day meeting next week, and markets have priced in a 25-basis-point (bps) interest rate hike, a step down from the central bank’s 50 bps and 75 bps increases seen last year. Market Summary as per 25/01/2023: European equities Wednesday closing. The DAX futures contract in Germany traded down 0.08% at 15081.64, CAC 40 futures down 0.09% at 7043.88.

Asian stock market closes in green on Thursday. The Shanghai Composite is up 0.76% at 3264.81. Overall, the Singapore MSCI is up 0.68% at 308.52.

TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: – The Bank of Japan said on Friday it will extend five-year loans against collateral to financial institutions, the second time it has made such an offer after ramping up the funds-supply operation this month to defend its yield control policy. The announcement underscores the central bank’s resolve to prevent simmering market speculation of a near-term interest rate hike from pushing up bond yields too much. The BOJ will conduct the funds-supply operation on Tuesday, under which it will offer loans with a five-year duration from Feb. 1, it said in a statement. The amount of loans to be offered will be announced on Tuesday, it added. The announcement came after the 10-year Japanese government bond (JGB) yield crept up near the BOJ’s 0.5% cap on Friday, partly on data showing core consumer inflation in the capital Tokyo hit a near 42-year high of 4.3% in January. In the previous offer made on Monday, the BOJ extended five-year loans worth 3.13 trillion yen ($24.09 billion). The minimum bid interest rate was 0.110%. At this month’s policy meeting, the BOJ amended rules for the funds-supply operation, so it can pump funds extending up to 10 years to financial institutions against collateral.

TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: – Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said on Wednesday he hoped the central bank’s new leadership will take into account the government’s goal of achieving higher wages and sustained economic growth, in guiding monetary policy. Kishida also said it was premature to say whether the government and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) should revise a joint policy statement, which commits the BOJ to achieve its 2% inflation target at the earliest date possible. “We’d like to achieve structural wage growth and sustainable economic growth. I hope the new BOJ leadership guide policy taking account our policy direction,” Kishida told parliament. The government on Tuesday named academic Kazuo Ueda as its pick to become next central bank governor, a surprise choice that could heighten the chance of an end to its unpopular yield control policy.

The Shanghai Composite is in red 0.96% at 3249.03. Overall, the Singapore MSCI is up 1.41% at 301.45. Over in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index is up 0.84% at 20987.67.

TOP NEWS OF THE DAY: – The U.S. dollar surged to a six-week high in early European trade Friday, after strong U.S. economic data and hawkish comments from Federal Reserve policymakers pointed to more interest rate hikes. At 02:00 ET (07:00 GMT), the Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six other currencies, traded 0.5% higher at 104.345, on track for a third consecutive week of gains. Data released Thursday pointed to a resilient U.S. economy, as the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits declined unexpectedly last week, while producer prices accelerated in January. This was followed on from retail sales rebounding sharply in January after two straight monthly declines and consumer inflation coming in stronger than expected earlier in the week. “The data provides ammunition for the Fed to remain in hawkish mode and for the market to continue to price two to three more 25bp Fed rate hikes by the summer,” said analysts at ING, in a note. Market Summary as per 16/02/2023: European equities Thursday closing. The DAX futures contract in Germany traded up 0.18% at 15533.64, and CAC 40 futures up 0.89% at 7366.16.

capitalstreetFX Posted March 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Fundamental Analysis Report With Charting Trends - 07 March 2023 MARKET UPDATE: The market started the week quietly yesterday, as many participants had anticipated, with most items trading in well-known ranges. There was little excitement for the Asian open as all the main American indices concluded the day nearly flat. Most of the major currencies continued to trade in very narrow ranges against the dollar, and US government yields concluded the day somewhat higher. Despite a very dull (and expected) start to the week, traders anticipate ending it in a little more jaded manner due to the onslaught of economic data and central bank releases they will face as the sessions go on. The big event of the day will be Jerome Powell’s semi-annual testimony before Congress, and because the markets have been leaning more hawkish in response to recent US data, every word the Fed Chair says will be heavily scrutinized. Any changes in the recent outlook and language could cause some strong moves across all markets, as benchmark US rates are currently near multiyear highs. Looking ahead to today’s trade, the RBA starts off for the Asian session with its most recent cash rate announcement and statement. Another 25 bps are largely anticipated from them, but any change in Governor Phillip Lowe’s forward guidance may cause market volatility. Until we hear from the Fed Chair later in the day, it’s rather calm during the European session and into the North American time zone. HOW DID THE US SESSION GO? Ivey PMI for Canada dropped to 51.6 from 60.1, below the predicted value of 55.9. $ Factory Orders m/m declined by 1.6%, less than the previous value of 1.7% but better than the expected -1.8% decrease. The data shows that both currencies’ economic performance has been inconsistent, with a modest negative skew. WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE ASIAN SESSION? The RBA’s interest rate decision (anticipated to increase by 25 basis points) and its forecast for the rate hike path would take centre stage. The Australian dollar could fall below the five-day range, or about between 0.6700 and 0.6780, in response to a dovish rate statement. THE DOLLAR INDEX (DXY) KEY NEWS EVENTS TODAY Fed Chair Powell Testifies TECHNICAL OUTLOOK GBPUSD Price is being driven lower by a descending resistance line approaching our first support, multiple-swing low support at 1.1923. It’s important to note that the Ichi Moku cloud is also exhibiting negative momentum, which may strengthen our belief that the price will continue to decline. Our first resistance, which is a multiple swing high resistance and coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, is at 1.2144.

capitalstreetFX Posted March 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Fundamental Analysis Report With Charting Trends- 16 March 2023 MARKET UPDATE: Credit Suisse loses 25% and crashes the market. Last night, as the share price of Swiss multinational Credit Suisse plummeted by almost 25% in a single trading session, concerns about contagion in the banking sector came true. Though not to the extent that some investors may have anticipated earlier in the day, American stock indices suffered, with the Dow ending the day down 0.87%, the S&P down 0.7%, and the Nasdaq only managing to finish in the black. On hearing the news, Haven Gold and the USD rose, while the Euro and Swiss fell. ECB Important Rate Decision As the European Central Bank is ready to announce its most recent rate decision, the timing of yesterday’s market turbulence could not have been worse. At the start of yesterday’s session, we would have been confidently talking about a rate hike but chances of that dropped dramatically during the day, from 90% chance of a 50bp hike down to 20% by the close. It would be a shock to the market if we see 25bps or even no change, but these are once again unprecedented times for both traders and indeed central banks, so be prepared for more moves in the single currency in the days ahead. Another Day of Market Chaos Upcoming? Looking ahead to the rest of the trading day, anticipate once more that investors will be examining each new news on the banking industry. In terms of economic data releases, the Asian session already saw an unexpectedly positive outcome for Australian employment numbers. The regular weekly US employment claims numbers come out later in the day, and the critical ECB rate announcement with its accompanying statement and press conference comes right after. What does it mean for the Asian Session? The rebound of risky assets is likely to be constrained by lingering worries about the risks of contagion from the American financial industry. More banks, even those outside the US, might report problems if history is any indication. In this case, it is very likely that investors will seek “safe haven” in the Swiss Franc, Japanese Yen, and gold. TECHNICAL OUTLOOK GBPUSD The price of the pound presently could move between the first support level at 1.1927 and the first resistance level at 1.2139 on the GBP/USD chart. An overlap support level at 1.1927 acts as the first support level and could offer the price significant support if it declines. Moreover, there is an overlap support level at 1.2010 that coincides with a 50% Fibonacci retracement, serving as an intermediate support level. The initial resistance level, however, which is at 1.2139, is an overlap resistance level. Price may move upward towards the second resistance level at 1.2208 if it were to break through this level.

capitalstreetFX Posted March 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Fundamental Analysis Report With Charting Trends- 27 March 2023 MARKET UPDATE: Continued Volatility on the Stock Markets As a result of the upheaval in the banking sector and central bank activity, the investor roller coaster persisted on Friday as global market indices remained volatile. At the end of another long week, the US market defied the trend by seeing all three major indices close higher: the Dow rose 0.41%, the S&P gained 0.56%, and the Nasdaq gained 0.3%. There was a sea of red on European and Asian stock exchanges. Fed speakers who all gave the market assurances about the soundness of the banking system supported US markets, and the dollar’s recovery from the post-Fed decline was continued. Treasury’s remained in their current levels, and gold concluded the day marginally lower. Dollar in Favour: Friday’s gains were 0.5% higher The dollar suffered a little last week as currency markets focused on the likely end of the FOMC’s rapid tightening cycle after the Federal Reserves raised expectations by 25 basis points. The dollar gained much of its lost territory versus the majors back during the last few trading days of the week, though. As central banks seek confidence in the wake of recent banking sector concerns, traders are currently searching for the next catalyst for currency changes. In terms of interest rate differentials, this appears to be a difficult call in the short term. Greater concerns have mainly overshadowed US statistics for the past few weeks, but at the end of last week we had two stronger prints: the weekly unemployment claims and the PMI numbers. If these readings continue to indicate to higher inflation in the US, anticipate the currency to increase. This week’s market will be dominated by investor worries. Apart from the German IFO Business Climate statistics today, there isn’t much scheduled to spook the scoreboard this coming week in terms of economic data releases. Investors will be able to assess the recent weeks’ extraordinary volatility and perhaps begin to anticipate the emergence of a clearer picture as a result. There are, of course, no assurances in this, and there is still a high likelihood of abrupt, aggressive changes, so as we move into what we hope will be slightly more favorable market conditions, traders should anticipate being heavily focused on the newswires. TECHNICAL OUTLOOK GBPUSD https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/BqlWNgyokJncXX-YhoVS6tBblFUaMf9zTbOwYIIqMOZdabxPX_SmFBdyrIqrqXg9ARnXt6Fzg58FbuNuQ5OaaX9zlrBCftsX7Z2XL1urzW-oDdp8FRd4o9I37gyGmv9Ytvdc3OTp9-so The general momentum of the GBP/USD chart is currently neutral, indicating that the price may move back and forth between the first resistance and first support levels. The first support level is located at 1.1630 and is an overlap support that lines up with a 38.20% Fibonacci retracement. This level can serve as a significant region of buying interest. In addition, a pullback support level at 1.1826 is an intermediate support level that might be used if the price were to decline from the current level. On the resistance side, the first resistance level, which is a swing-high resistance, is located at 1.2440. Price could experience selling pressure at this level if it were to rise from its current level. 1.2671 is the second resistance level, which is also an overlap resistance.

capitalstreetFX Posted April 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Fundamental Analysis Report With Charting Trends- 12 April 2023 FUNDAMENTAL REPORT FORECAST MARKET UPDATE: As investors awaited critical inflation data and the unofficial start of the first-quarter reporting season, Wall Street equities lost momentum late in the session and ended the day with a mixed performance. It’s the quiet before the storm, said Detrick. “Traders are adopting a wait-and-see strategy to see how the inflation data comes in, given the importance of tomorrow’s inflation data, the impending release of the Fed minutes, and the impending earnings season.” Analysts predict that the headline and core CPI will decline to 0.2% and 0.4%, respectively, monthly. The core measure, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, is anticipated to gather steam, climbing to 5.6% from 5.5%, even though consensus projections call for a considerable decline in the headline number – to 5.2% from 6.0%. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude increased by 1.5% to $90.18 per barrel, while Brent crude increased by 1.3% to $94.12 per barrel. Concerns about supply disruptions in important producing nations and growing demand as the world economy keeps improving were the main factors driving the increase in oil prices. Spot gold rose barely 0.1% to $1,776.25 an ounce, remaining virtually unchanged as investors adopted a wait-and-see attitude in the face of conflicting market sentiment. The US Dollar Index, which gauges the dollar’s strength against a basket of other currencies, fell 0.1% to 96.62, showing the dollar’s marginally declining value relative to other important currencies. Technical Outlook GBPUSD https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/tpmoQAWl2soWfjU3r0AzFEa5vO6W9XWLuP7JwqjFHD_E9zL7hYk2ClPBo_TRIQ4Q6ZQ4F4MRj-1sg-thDN6OD66mhnHFeMeM0IbTsfXCcJ3kNg6Cqv5W0qPMAjS2wtbMY4C2CyiaCkHVgaPBWcGBOQ The price of the GBP/USD currency pair has broken below an ascending support line, which may be a sign that a negative move is possible. The chart of the pair is currently displaying bearish momentum. The first support level, which is located at 1.2349, is an overlap support level, meaning that it has previously served as support and may do so again in the future. At 1.2274, the second support level—also an overlap support level—is located. At this level, the price might also find support if it were to keep dropping. The 50% Fibonacci retracement level and the first resistance level, which is an overlap resistance level, are both located at 1.2439. Price might perhaps encounter resistance at this level and start to decline in the direction of the support levels if it were to increase. The second resistance level is located at 1.2526 and is a multi-swing high resistance level, meaning it has previously served as resistance and might do so again in the future.

capitalstreetFX Posted May 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Fundamental Analysis Report With Charting Trends- 30 May 2023 MARKET UPDATE: MARKETS BOOSTED BY DEAL OPTIMISM FOR DEBT Yesterday’s bullish day for the world’s markets was fuelled by hope for a Washington, DC, debt ceiling agreement. Numerous important financial markets were closed due to bank holidays, but futures markets managed to edge up. The S&P futures were up 0.3%, and the Nasdaq futures moved up by 0.4%. These advances came on top of big gains on Friday when Wall Street was last open. As markets begin to further price in another rate hike from the Fed, Treasury futures have likewise adopted a more aggressive tone. The dollar experienced a rather stagnant session as FX traders took advantage of the holidays to relax, but things might pick up today. AFTER A LONG WEEKEND, MARKETS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE. Today’s opening of the financial markets follows a long weekend for several major cities. Although a significant portion of the European and North American markets were closed yesterday, the Asian market was open, and investors anticipate that today’s markets will be more liquid and volatile than usual. The agreement on the debt ceiling was undoubtedly the main news over the weekend coming out of the US, and further reports yesterday have been encouraging, so anticipate that attitude to lead as markets reopen. In the Asian and European sessions, there aren’t many data releases today, but the CB Consumer Confidence data will start the tier 1 figures in the New York session, with the market anticipating a 99.1 print. TECHNICAL OUTLOOK GBPUSD https://carigold.com/forum/attachments/image-427-1024x709-png.630623/?watermark_date=1685450121 A bearish symmetrical triangle pattern on the GBP/USD chart indicates a bearish momentum now. A considerable support area, known as overlap support, is provided by the first support level at 1.2279. A second support level at 1.2192 similarly overlaps support, and it is also present. This level’s usefulness as a possible support region is further supported by prior occurrences of price movement bouncing off it. On the resistance side, an overlap resistance is represented by the first resistance level at 1.2377. The bearish trend may temporarily stall or retrace because this level acts as a temporary barrier to price increases. A second resistance level at 1.2470 is also present and is known as an overlap resistance. It has been demonstrated in the past that this level is significant as a price level when selling pressure has developed.

capitalstreetFX Posted June 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Fundamental Analysis Report With Charting Trends - 06 June 2023 MARKETS CONSOLIDATE BEFORE CENTRAL BANKS After a good week-ending, global markets had a day of consolidation yesterday, albeit at elevated levels. As investors considered next week’s Fed announcement, the major US indices experienced a mixed day, with the Dow losing 0.59%, the S&P declining 0.2%, and the Nasdaq closing just over flat. The ISM Service PMI came out weaker than expected at 50.3 versus the predicted 52.6, which caused the dollar to take a slight dip following the first significant data release of the week from the US. Oil dropped back after its OPEC-inspired spike, and WTI returned to trading around the $72/barrel level. Gold bounced off the $1,940 mark once more. CENTRAL BANKS AND UPCOMING DATA As there were few macroeconomic data releases on the calendar yesterday, the financial markets had a little break. Today, however, there are a few significant events coming up. The Australian market, where the RBA will publish its most recent rate decision, will be the center of attention throughout the Asian session. Investors are divided over their course of action. Major announcements are absent from the European session, but the US session is expected to shift attention to Canada when the Ivey PMI statistics are released as a preview of tomorrow’s Bank of Canada decision. TECHNICAL OUTLOOK GBPUSD https://www.capitalstreetfx.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image-87-1024x628.png The bullish momentum on the GBP/USD chart indicates an upward trend. 1.2377 is the initial support level, which is also known as overlap support. Price has already bounced off overlap support, showing that it is an important level where buyers may enter the market. 1.2306 is a swing low support and serves as the second level of support. During the most recent downward price movement, this price level served as support; it may do so once more. 1.2467 is the initial resistance level. The 50% Fibonacci retracement level and an overlap resistance level both indicate this level. 1.2536 is the second resistance level. As an overlap resistance level that is also at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, this level is further strengthened. Resistance and a significant Fibonacci level together frequently signal a firm price ceiling. Read Full Report - CAPITAL STREET FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capitalstreetFX Posted June 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 Fundamental Analysis Report With Charting Trends - 13 June 2023 STOCK MARKETS ARE UP, WITH THE NASDAQ UP 1.5%. On hopes that the Fed will conclude its tightening cycle this week, US stock markets rose sharply once more yesterday. All the main US indices had good days, with the Dow rising 0.53%, the S&P rising 0.93%, and the Nasdaq once more setting the pace, closing 1.53% higher thanks to Apple Inc. reaching a record high. Both the S&P and Nasdaq reached highs not seen since April 2022. In contrast, other markets were far more muted, with Treasuries and FX trading in well-known ranges ahead of Wednesday’s FOMC meeting and tomorrow’s inflation data. Another notable example was the decline in the price of oil, with WTI falling more than 4% after a Goldman report was released with a much lower forecast for oil prices over the coming few months as supply appears to be outpacing demand despite production restrictions. FED AND DATA IN FOCUS Before important inflation data is released in the US tonight, investors anticipate rather quiet trading conditions today. The CPI statistic is anticipated to reflect a decreasing rise in inflation, with the monthly increase predicted to be 0.2% rather than 0.4%, down from 4.9% y/y in April to 4.1% in May. Given the sharp swing in US equity markets overnight, traders are understandably apprehensive that a topside surprise in these statistics tonight might have a significant impact on Fed policy. As of right now, the market is pricing in a 77% likelihood that the FOMC won’t change interest rates on Wednesday, but if tonight’s report reveals that US inflation is still very much alive and well, then expect those odds to drop considerably. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ASIA SESSION? The 16.9% decline in visitor arrivals to New Zealand, which exceeded the prior 1.0% decline, may have weakened the NZD because of the decline in foreign inflow. The Australian Dollar, on the other hand, has conflicting possibilities; a surprising 0.2% increase in Westpac Consumer Sentiment may boost the AUD, but a dismal -4 in NAB Business Confidence may lower its value. TECHNICAL OUTLOOK GBPUSD https://www.capitalstreetfx.com/en/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/image-216-1024x664.png A cautious upward turn in price movement is indicated by the weak positive momentum and low confidence now visible on the GBP/USD chart. A bullish extension towards the first resistance level at 1.2575 is possible. This resistance level is important since it denotes a resistance overlap zone. On the downside, it’s crucial to keep an eye on the initial support level at 1.2498. It provides potential price support and is at a 50% Fibonacci retracement level. Another region of support is the second support level at 1.2448, which also serves as a 38.20% Fibonacci retracement and an overlap support level. TRADE SUGGESTION: BUY AT 1.25616, TP AT 1.26252, SL AT 1.25108 Read Full Report - CAPITAL STREET FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
