US futures trim gains in European morning trade

Apr 24, 2024 | 02:49 am

It was up around 0.4% in early morning trade in Europe, before the gradual retreat in the last few hours. Tech shares are still the main anchor though, with Nasdaq futures up 0.4%. But Dow futures have even turned flat on the session now. European stocks are not too much affected, with major indices still holding slight gains. The DAX and CAC 40 are both up 0.3% while the UK FTSE is up 0.5%.After six days of losses, Wall Street followed that up with back-to-back gains this week. It's a modest bounce for the S&P 500, coming right before a test of its 100-day moving average (red line):The question now though, is the selling over already? Or is this just a mild bounce before sellers continue with the recent retracement?The latest bounce, while encouraging, still sees near-term price action keep below both its key hourly moving averages:And that means the near-term bias is still keeping more bearish. At least until buyers make a play to break above either the 100 (red line) or 200-hour (blue line) moving averages as seen above. This article was written by Justin Low at www.forexlive.com.

For Japan, silence is golden - at least for now

Apr 24, 2024 | 01:53 am

We're approaching early evening in Tokyo and there hasn't been any meaningful verbal pushback by Japanese officials today. Typically, you'd see them come out in droves to try and pin USD/JPY back. But amid the silence today, perhaps they're hoping that the quietness is something traders will take caution upon. And at least for now, it is working.USD/JPY has been hovering around the 154.85-92 region for almost two hours now. There was a brief dip to 154.76 earlier but it was quickly bought up and we're back to this nervous range again. All eyes are whether or not Japan will step in if price crosses the key line in the sand above the 155.00 mark.And that is keeping broader markets relatively muted on the day. The dollar is steady, holding slight gains against the euro and pound. Meanwhile, European indices are just marginally higher with S&P 500 futures up just 0.2% currently.

FX traders have got their popcorn bags out

Apr 23, 2024 | 23:54 pm

Will Japan intervene or won't they? It's definitely not ideal as we look towards European trading, where liquidity conditions will start to pick up. And even more so when US traders come into the fray later. Officials might be thinking to wait for the BOJ to send a message on Friday but that is still at least two days away.For now, all other major currencies aren't doing much and traders are likely to sit on their hands in watching what happens next with USD/JPY before reacting to anything. The aussie is still up slightly from earlier, but AUD/USD remains capped for now as seen here.It definitely takes a lot of guts to be in any yen trade at the moment and I wish you the best of luck if you're taking that on. Personally, intervention risk is something a little too much for my liking so I'd stay sidelined. And I'm sure the majority will be watching as well to see what happens next.I reckon we might slowly see price creep a little higher until touching 155.00 in the hours ahead. There might be profit-taking as well when we get to the figure level but if there is any overshoot, that could be the event that invites Japan to step in. But we'll see.

German Ifo business survey the highlight of the agenda in Europe today

Apr 23, 2024 | 22:09 pm

The softer US PMI data from yesterday is still reverberating but also a much improved risk mood. Geopolitical fears have subsided since the weekend and that is helping to see stocks bounce back quite nicely to start the week. In turn, risk currencies are picking up on that with the aussie also helped by hotter inflation numbers earlier.As seen here, AUD/USD has moved up to test a key technical level on the day. The pair is still up 0.5% to 0.6515 as it keeps near the highs.So, what's next for markets in general?As we look to put behind us the whole Israel-Iran episode, the focus shifts back to US data. Equities will look to that to keep the momentum from this week, with S&P 500 futures up another 0.35% currently. But we might have to wait until tomorrow at least, with the US advanced Q1 GDP figures on the cards. Then on Friday, there is the US PCE price index to get through. As a reminder, that is the Fed's preferred measure of inflation so it is one to watch.For today, it's all about digesting the PMI data from yesterday and sticking with the overall risk mood. The dollar is ceding some ground but we'll see if that turns into anything bigger after the gains earlier this month. If anything else, do keep an eye on USD/JPY as well as the pair remains very much underpinned at 154.85 currently.In terms of data releases in Europe, the German Ifo business survey for April is the main one to watch. But in all likelihood, the releases today won't do much to shake things up.0800 GMT - Germany April Ifo business climate index0800 GMT - Switzerland April UBS investor sentiment1000 GMT - UK April CBI trends total orders1100 GMT - US MBA mortgage applications w.e. 19 AprilThat's all for the session ahead.

Aussie bounce runs into key level on the chart, what's next?

Apr 23, 2024 | 21:33 pm

After the softer US PMI data yesterday, it is keeping the Fed outlook more interesting. The dollar fell as traders might have to consider at least one rate cut for the year. But in the case of the aussie, it doesn't seem like rate cuts might be on the table for this year. That especially as inflation data remains rather sticky as seen here.The trimmed mean reading is the most pivotal one and that is seen at 4.0%. Yes, it is down from 4.2% previously but still not enough to convince of a significant disinflation trend. At least not one that would compel the RBA to act any time soon.AUD/USD has seen a decent bounce today as such, with the pair touching a high of 0.6530 earlier. That sees it run into a test of its 200-day moving average (blue line):And that is holding back gains for now, alongside the 61.8 Fib retracement level (red) at around 0.6536. After which, there is the 100-day moving average (red line) offering the next key resistance level but that is only seen at 0.6585 currently.So, what's next for the pair?What was previously a divergence trade between the dollar and the rest of the major currencies bloc has now changed. That particular divergent factor has closed with the RBA also perhaps being one of the later - if not the latest - central banks to cut rates. And that's a boon for the aussie, especially now as it coincides with a pick up in risk.It will now come down to what the next set of US data has to offer, in particular the inflation numbers. And we won't have to wait too long as there is the PCE price index due on Friday this week.That might offer a key trigger point for traders to work with before the weekend comes along.

The private survey of oil inventory showed a draw compared with the build that was expected. Oil prices have remained fairly steady since, in a tight range. From New Zealand, we had a trade surplus recorded in March. Exports showed a welcome rise but imports fell to their lowest since the middle of 2021. NZD/USD has risen on the session slightly, helped along by a higher AUD (more on this below). Services PPI in Japan for March rose, for a second month in a row. The Bank of Japan holds the view that rising service prices will supplant cost-push inflation as a key driver of price inflation towards its 2% target. The data supported this view (to the extent that it gets passed along in consumer prices). The big data point, though, was the Q1 CPI from Australia. The headline rate, and the two core rates, all jumped more than expected. This has implications for the Reserve Bank of Australia, at the very least delaying potential rate cuts. Indeed, Westpac analysts pushed back their RBA rate cut forecast to November from September. AUD/USD jumped above 0.6500 on the inflation data release and has barely pulled back since. In geopolitically significant news the US Senate passed the bill to provide US$95bn in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan: $60.8 billion for Ukraine $26.4 billion for Israel $8 billion for Taiwan The bill also included the potential to ban TikTok. US President Biden says he will sign the bill into law on Wednesday. Apart from the AUD move, FX was sedate. USD/JPY continues to wiggle along just under 155.00.

Aussie dollar trades below US$0.65

Apr 23, 2024 | 17:00 pm

AUD - Australian dollar The Australian dollar is stronger this morning when valued against the Greenback currently trading at US$0.6480 at the time of writing. The Aussie dollar continues its upward trajectory for the second consecutive session on Tuesday, buoyed by improved risk appetite. On the data front yesterday Australia's Judo Bank Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) Composite rose to a 24-month high of 53.6 in April compared to the previous month's 53.3. The Australian private sector ticked up into an accelerated pace of growth in the second quarter bolstered primarily by Services sector growth. Australia's Manufacturing PMI Output rose to an eight-month high of 49.1 compared to March's 45.7, brushing off a 2-month low of 54.2 in the Services Business Activity compared to March's 54.4. Looking ahead today the Australian Bureau of Statistics will release the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is expected to increase from 0.6% to 0.8% for the last quarter. Consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate. Finally, on Friday we will see the release of the Producer Price Index (PPI). There will be no commentary tomorrow due to the Anzac Day public holiday. Key Movers The pound bounced back from US$1.2300 in Tuesday’s early session as the S&P Global/CIPS posted stronger-than-expected United Kingdom preliminary Services PMI data for April. Surprisingly, the Services PMI jumped to 54.9 from the prior reading of 53.1. Investors forecasted the Services PMI to drop slightly to 53.0. The preliminary Manufacturing PMI, surprisingly contracted, remains below the 50.0 threshold that separates expansion from contraction after expanding in March. The factory PMI falls sharply to 48.3 from expectations and the prior reading of 50.3. Looking ahead to the rest of this week investors will shift focus to the core Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index (PCE) data for March, which will be published on Friday. The monthly core PCE Price Index is estimated to grow steadily by 0.3%. Annually, the underlying inflation data is expected to soften to 2.6% from 2.8% in February. The US Dollar Index (DXY) is trading softly at 105.70 tallying daily losses on Tuesday's session. Investors will be keeping an eye on vital economic reports due this week, including the preliminary figures of Q1’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth Rate and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index from March to gain further insight into the economy's health. During Tuesday’s session, S&P PMIs came in lower than expected and made the USD face selling pressure. US Treasury bond yields are dwindling with the 2-year yield at 4.93%, the 5-year yield at 4.61%, and the 10-year yield at 4.58%. Expected RangesAUD/USD: 0.6400 - 0.6600 ▲AUD/EUR: 0.5950 - 0.6150 ▲GBP/AUD: 1.9050 - 1.9250 ▼AUD/NZD: 1.0800 - 1.1000 ▲AUD/CAD: 0.8750 - 0.8950 ▼

Aussie dollar trades back above US$0.64

Apr 22, 2024 | 17:00 pm

AUD - Australian dollar The Australian dollar is stronger this morning when valued against the Greenback, currently trading at 0.6446 at time of writing. The Aussie dollar yesterday fared better than most of its rival counterparts against the Greenback partly because commodities, which Australia is a major exporter of, are holding their value better than expected. The supportive effect may not last, however, since Iron Ore, which is Australia’s largest export, could be peaking and about to roll over. The Australian dollar may encounter challenges ahead, particularly as domestic inflation continues to moderate, aligning with the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) latest forecasts. Furthermore, the persistently tight labour market could lead to calls for an RBA rate reduction before the year's end. On the data front, today we will see the release of the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI). On Wednesday, the Australian Bureau of Statistics will release the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is expected to increase from 0.6% to 0.8% for the last quarter. Consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate. Finally on Friday we will see the release of the Producer Price Index (PPI). Key Movers US equities on Monday opened higher in the early going, but there have been frequent bouts of strength in the latest six-day losing streak that have ultimately been overwhelmed by sellers. In early trading, the index is up 20 points, or 0.45%, which is a tad softer than futures indicated. 10-year US Treasury yields jump to 4.64% as Federal Reserve (Fed) policymakers argue that the current restrictive monetary policy framework is appropriate given strong labor demand and stubbornly higher price pressures. On the data front, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) rose to +0.15 in March from +0.09 in February. Two of the four broad categories of indicators used to construct the index increased from February and two categories made positive contributions in March. The Chicago Fed's National Activity Index is a monthly indicator designed to gauge overall economic activity and related inflationary pressure. The personal consumption and housing category's contribution to CFNAI was -0.01 in March, down from +0.02 in February, the Chicago Fed said on Monday. Looking ahead for the rest of the week and Federal Reserve officials will begin its blackout period ahead of the May 1 meeting. However, April PMIs and housing data will be released by S&P Global. Expected RangesAUD/USD: 0.6350 - 0.6550 ▲AUD/EUR: 0.5950 - 0.6150 ▲GBP/AUD: 1.9050 - 1.9250 ▼AUD/NZD: 1.0800 - 1.1000 ▲AUD/CAD: 0.8750 - 0.8950 ▼

Aussie dollar trades below US$0.64

Apr 21, 2024 | 17:00 pm

AUD - Australian dollar The Australian dollar is weaker this morning when valued against the Greenback currently trading at 0.6411 at the time of writing. The Aussie dollar fell on Friday below 0.6400 as riskier assets faced pressure due to heightened geopolitical risk across financial markets. Last week on the local front Australia's unemployment rate rose slightly to 3.8 per cent after 6600 jobs were lost in March, a stronger-than-expected result that will likely end any chance of a mid-year interest rate cut. The jobless rate, revealed today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, is only a marginal increase on last month's surprisingly low figure of 3.7 per cent and slightly better than market forecasts of a larger rise to 3.9 per cent. A tight labour market means the Reserve Bank is unlikely to pull the trigger on an interest rate cut until towards the end of the year. Looking ahead to this week and today we will see the release of the Flash Manufacturing PMI. A survey of about 400 purchasing managers which asks respondents to rate the relative level of business conditions including employment, production, new orders, prices, supplier deliveries, and inventories. On Wednesday the Australian Bureau of Statistics will release the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) which is expected to increase from 0.6% to 0.8% for the last quarter. Consumer prices account for a majority of overall inflation. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate. Finally, on Friday we will see the release of the Producer Price Index (PPI). Key Movers The US dollar Index (DXY) is currently trading at 106.09, a mild loss from its recent peak of 106.35. Despite this, the index remains geared toward testing its November 1 high of 107.10. The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits was unchanged at a low level last week, pointing to continued labor market strength that is driving the economy. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits were unchanged at a seasonally adjusted 212,000 for the week ended April 13, the Labor Department said on Thursday. Labor market resilience, together with elevated inflation have led financial markets and some economists to expect that the Federal Reserve could delay cutting interest rates until September. A few economists doubt that the U.S. central bank will lower borrowing costs this year. The Pound Sterling tumbled against the US dollar during the mid-North American session on Friday after a volatile trading day due to geopolitical risks. The GBP/USD currently trades at 1.2367, down 0.49%. British Retail Sales showed signs of stagnation during the European session in March compared to February’s reading. Analysts were expecting sales to grow 0.3% MoM, which came at 0%, while core sales tumbled from 0.3% to -0.3%. On an annual basis, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed that sales rose by 0.8%, which is up from a drop of -0.3% in February. Expected RangesAUD/USD: 0.6300 - 0.6500 ▼AUD/EUR: 0.5900 - 0.6100 ▼GBP/AUD: 1.9150 - 1.9350 ▲AUD/NZD: 1.0800 - 1.1000 ▲AUD/CAD: 0.8700 - 0.8900 ▼

Aussie slides on prospect of US rate hike

Apr 18, 2024 | 17:00 pm

AUD - Australian dollar The AUD is lower this morning having given up a quarter percent amid higher US treasury yields and a hawkish Federal Reserve. Domestic employment data did little to move the AUD with unemployment rate edging higher, up to 3.8%, yet holding onto most of the decline seen in February when the rate fell from 4.1% to 3.7%. If we exclude January as a seasonal outlier the unemployment rate has tracked below 4% through the last two years, suggesting there is resilience within the labour force despite signs employment growth is stalling. This latest print does little to alter market expectations for RBA monetary policy and we are still looking toward a possible cut in Q4. Having tracked between US$0.6440 and US$0.6450, the AUD then fell through overnight trade amid the prospect of a potential US rate hike. Fed policy makers made clear that if inflation remained sticky and the data indicated a rate hike was needed to bring inflation back to target then that is what they would do. Having slipped below US$0.6420 the AUD tracked sideways into this morning’s open and currently trades at US$0.6419. With no domestic data on hand to drive direction we look to Japan CPI and UK retails sales as the only items of note on the macroeconomic calendar. US yields will continue to determine direction and we anticipate the AUD will remain on the back foot next week. Key Movers The US dollar is stronger this morning having reversed losses suffered through trade on Wednesday amid hawkish Fed commentary and a general risk-off tone. Yields pushed higher after NY Fed President and FOMC member Williams suggested another rate hike was not out of the question, stating “monetary policy is in a good place, I am in no hurry to cut interest rates and if the data are telling us that we need higher interest rates to bring inflation back to target then we obviously want to do that”. With USD again on the front foot, the euro slid back below 1.0650, while sterling gave up 1.2450 and the yen again gave up 154.50 and appears poised to break through 155. US treasury Secretary Yellen and the Finance Ministers of Japan and Korea met to discuss the recent and sharp depreciation of the yen and the won, offering a joint statement acknowledging the US would not stand in the way of any official currency intervention. Upon release of the statement the yen tracked higher, but Treasury yields carried the day and the USD recovered losses and is back near 154.70 on open this morning. Our attentions turn now to Japanese CPI data and UK retail sales data as the only tier one data headlining an otherwise quiet macroeconomic calendar. Expected RangesAUD/USD: 0.6380 - 0.6500 ▼AUD/EUR: 0.6000 - 0.6100 ▼GBP/AUD: 1.9250 - 1.9500 ▲AUD/NZD: 1.0820 - 1.0920 ▼AUD/CAD: 0.8800 - 0.8900 ▼

AUD finds support as market ignores risk off tone

Apr 17, 2024 | 17:00 pm

AUD - Australian dollar The Australian dollar outperformed through trade on Wednesday, pushing back against recent losses to break above US$0.6450. Commodity currencies were well supported as currency markets ignored a broader risk-off mood and instead forced the USD lower amid a steady fall in treasury yields across the curve. With the USD on the back foot, the AUD found support in higher iron ore prices and stability across the Chinese yuan daily fixing. PBOC officials set a rate largely unchanged from the week's earlier downward revision helping stabilise the yuan and limiting the negative spillover into the AUD as a proxy. Reports of increased activity across China’s steel mills help drive a 5.5% increase in iron ore prices and a break back above $115, adding a floor under the AUD at US$0.64 for the day. Our attention now turns to domestic labour market data for March. Stability across the employment landscape will give the RBA confidence in maintaining the current policy setting and may lend support to the AUD ahead of US jobless claims and commentary from 3 key Fed officials. Key Movers The euro was the day's notable outperformer Wednesday up half a percent and back through 1.0650, marking session highs at 1.0670. European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde paved the way for the Euro advance, suggesting there were clear signs of a euro area recovery and that the Bank was closely monitoring the exchange rate and its potential impact on the euro and inflation. While euro bonds fell, US treasuries also retreated and markets appeared content in ignoring a broader risk-off tone, forcing the USD lower against most major counterparts. UK yields rallied after a stronger-than-expected UK CPI inflation print, driven by a surprise uptick in services inflation. While Governor Bailey suggested he expected a significant correction in next month’s numbers, market pricing for BoE policy change barely shifted with a first full cut not priced in until September, leaving August an outside chance should policymakers choose to move early. Sterling edged higher against the USD, pushing back above 1.2450, yet falling short of a break above 1.25. Our focus now turns to US jobless claims and commentary from key ECB and Fed officials. Expected RangesAUD/USD: 0.6380 - 0.6500 ▲AUD/EUR: 0.6000 - 0.6100 ▼GBP/AUD: 1.9200 - 1.9500 ▼AUD/NZD: 1.0800 - 1.0900 ▲AUD/CAD: 0.8800 - 0.8900 ▲
