Quiet Week Before The Easter Holidays?

/in /by

After markets had a few days to digest last week’s dovish FOMC meeting, where the Federal Reserve continued to signal three rate cuts in 2024, even though fresh forecasts pointed to slightly hotter inflation. The message behind last week’s decision is that the Fed seems willing to let inflation run hot for longer, to minimize the risk of a recession.

However, the U.S. dollar’s counterparts encountered their own problems and gave up their lofty gains while the greenback managed to recover previous losses. The pound fell sharply after the Bank of England softly opened the door for a summer rate cut.

GBP/USD

The pound crushed into reality and below 1.26 after it was flirting with the lofty 1.29-barrier. It will now be interesting whether daily candles close below 1.26 (blue EMA), since this would point to a fresh downtrend. Given that this week will be accompanied by low volatility, we expect that the pair will trade in tight ranges. A next resistance comes in at around 1.2650, followed by 1.2720. However, bearish candles suggest more downside momentum to come.

EUR/USD

The euro remains within its sideways trading range but recently tilts to the downside. Remaining below 1.0850 would turn the focus to the lower 1.07-target.

DAX – Is everything right with the high-flyer?

With a chart like this, we can only express our doubts that this steep uptrend will continue. What do you think?

 

This week will be quiet in terms of market-moving data. The only interesting piece of data will be the PCE price index, due for release on Friday. Friday, however, will be a public holiday, so liquidity is expected to be thin.

Greenback Falls On Dovish Fed

/in /by

And finally, but only at the end of yesterday’s FOMC press conference, we were able to catch some pips. Before volatility has picked up in the evening hours of trading, we had to deal with one false breakout in the GBP/USD and three loss-making breakouts in the DAX. As for the DAX, we will try to compensate recent losses within the next trading days.

What happened at the FOMC decision, which is why the sold off even faster?

The Federal Reserve largely maintained the same policy outlook embraced three months ago, reaffirming its intention to implement 75 bp of rate cuts this year. The fact that the easing cycle is coming closer and thus, the absence of a hawkish surprise in the Fed’s statement were the reasons which is why the U.S. dollar traded lower.

Good news got the Bank of England yesterday with U.K. inflation falling faster than expected in February. This could encourage the more dovish members at the BoE to press harder for a rate cut. The market is pricing in the first move at the BoE August meeting. Today, the BoE is fully expected to leave interest rates untouched.

Lack Of Direction

/in /by

The U.S. dollar lacked direction ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s testimony before Congress starting today. If Powell surprises on the hawkish side with later-than-expected rate cuts this year, the greenback would benefit.

On the back of the recent sideways movement, none of our yesterday’s trading signal entries was triggered.

However, the main event for traders this week will be Friday’s NFP report.

Let’s wait and see.

Will The Dax’s Steep Rise Continue?

/in /by

While the EUR/USD and GBP/USD ended yesterday’s trading day fundamentally unchanged, the DAX continued its rise to a record high of 17602. Our long entry at 17440 has thus proved highly profitable. While we doubt that this steep rise will last for long, we will focus on a crucial support area coming in at around 17100.

U.S. Dollar könnte im Vorfeld der PCE-Daten am Donnerstag stärker werden

/in /by

Die vergangene Woche war durch einen schwächelnden US-Dollar gekennzeichnet, der sowohl den Euro als auch das britische Pfund zu einem Test kritischer Widerstände drängte. Der Euro kletterte über 1,0830 und testete die Marke von 1,0888, von wo aus die Euro-Bullen das Blatt jedoch nicht mehr wenden konnten. Zu Beginn dieser Woche liegt die Gemeinschaftswährung wieder unter 1,0830 und wartet auf eine Richtungsentscheidung.

Der Cable erreichte inmitten der breit angelegten Dollarschwäche den Wert von 1,2710, bewegt sich aber weiterhin seitwärts und hat noch keine Richtung.

Das einzig wirklich hochfliegende Handelsinstrument war der DAX, der über 17200 bis zu einem Höchststand von 17450 schoss. Die Bullen hoffen auf weitere Aufwärtsimpulse – allerdings nur, wenn sich der Index über 17000 halten kann.

In dieser Woche bereiten sich die Händler auf die Möglichkeit wilder Kursausschläge am Donnerstag vor, wenn die mit Spannung erwarteten PCE-Daten für Januar veröffentlicht werden. Ein stärker als erwartet ausgefallener Bericht könnte den US-Dollar nach oben treiben. Es wird erwartet, dass der PCE-Kernwert im Vergleich zum Vormonat um 0,4 Prozent gestiegen ist, und ein höherer Wert könnte das Fed Komitee dazu veranlassen, den Beginn seines Lockerungszyklus zu verschieben und weniger Zinssenkungen als erwartet vorzunehmen.

Lassen wir uns überraschen.

U.S. Dollar Could Strengthen Ahead Of Thursday’s PCE Data

/in /by

Last week was characterized by a weakening U.S. dollar which has pushed both Euro and British pound towards a test of critical resistances. The euro climbed above 1.0830 and surged to a test of 1.0888 from where euro bulls were however unable to turn the tide. At the opening of this week, we see the common currency again below 1.0830, waiting for some directional bias.

The cable touched 1.2710 amid the broad-based dollar weakness but remains sideways and still lacks direction.

The only high-flying trading instrument has been the DAX which shot above 17200 until a high of 17450. Bulls hope for more upward momentum – but only if the index is able to hold above 17000.

This week, traders prepare for the possibility of wild price swings on Thursday with the eagerly awaited release of January’s PCE data. A stronger-than-expected report could propel the U.S. dollar upwards. The core PCE is forecast to have increased by 0.4 percent compared to the previous month and a higher reading could prompt the FOMC to delay the start of its easing cycle and to deliver fewer rate cuts than anticipated.

Let’s be surprised.
