Macro Monday 58 - Recession Warning Charts Worth Watching Macro Monday 58 Recession Charts Worth Watching If you follow me on Trading view, you can revisit these charts at any time and press play to get the up to date data and see if we have hit any recessionary trigger levels. They are very handy to have at a glance. CHART 1 10 - 2 year treasury yield spread vs U.S. Unemployment Rate Subject chart above Summary ▫️ The chart demonstrates how the inversion of the Yield Curve (a fall below 0 for the blue area) coincides with U.S. Unemployment Rate bottoming (green area) prior to recession onset (red areas). ▫️ The yellow box on the chart gives us timelines on how many months passed, historically, before a confirmed economic recession after the yield curves first definitive turn back up towards the 0% level (also see circled numbers showing connecting bottoming unemployment rate). ▫️ Using this approach, you can see that the average time frame prior to recession onset is 13 months (April 2024) and the max timeframe is 22 months (Jan 2025). ▫️ This is only a consideration based on historical data and does not guarantee a recession or a recession timeline however it significantly raises the probability of a recession, and the longer into the timeframe we are the higher that recession probability. ▫️ We typically we have a recession (red zones) either during or immediately after the yield curve moves back above the zero level. At present we are at -0.08 and fast approaching the zero level which is one of the most concerning data points of this week. ▫️ The unemployment rate moved from a low of 3.4 in April 2023 to 4.3 in July 2024. This is a significant increase and is typical prior to recession onset. Conclusion ▫️ If both the 10 - 2 year treasury yield spread and the U.S. Unemployment Rate continue in their upwards trajectory in coming weeks and months, this is a significant risk off signal and recession imminent warning. ▫️ The Sahm Rule triggered this week which has been one of the most accurate indicators of a recession starting. It is triggered when the three-month moving average of the U.S Unemployment Rate above rises by 0.50 percentage points or more, relative to its low over the previous 12 months. The Sahm rule triggering adds to recession concerns, however the designer of the rule has stated that I may not be accurate factoring in recent events like COVID-19 which has thrown unemployment and economic data to extremes. What is the 10-2 year Treasury yield spread? The 10-2 year Treasury yield spread represents the difference between the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds and 2-year U.S. Treasury bonds. It’s calculated by subtracting the 2-year yield from the 10-year yield. When this spread turns negative (inverts), it’s significant because it often precedes economic downturns. An inversion suggests that investors expect lower future interest rates, which can signal concerns about economic growth and potential recession. In essence, it’s a barometer of market sentiment and interest rate expectations What is the U.S. Unemployment Rate The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed people by the total labor force in the U.S (which includes both employed and unemployed individuals). CHART 2 Interest Rate Historic Timelines and impact on S&P500 Summary ▫️ This chart aims to illustrate the relationship between the Federal Reserve’s Interest rate hike policy and the S&P500’s price movements. ▫️ This is obviously pertinent factoring in the expectations of a rate cut in Sept 2024. This chart which I shared in Sept 2023 may have accurately predicted this likely Sept 2023 interest rate cut but is this positive for the market? ▫️ Interest Rate increases have resulted in positive S&P500 price action ▫️ Interest rate pauses are the first cautionary signal of potential negative S&P500 price action however 2 out of 3 pauses have resulted in positive price action. The higher the rate the higher the chance of a market decline during the pause period. ▫️ Interest rate pauses have ranged from 6 to 16 months (avg. of 11 months). ▫️ Interest rate reductions have been the major, often advanced warning signal for significant and continued market decline (red circles on chart) ▫️ Interest rates can decrease for 2 to 6 months before the market eventually capitulates. ▫️ In 2020 rates decreased for 6 months as the market continued its ascent and in 2007 rates decreased for 2 months as the market continued its ascent. This tells us that rates can go down as prices go up but that it rarely lasts with any gains completely wiped out within months. Conclusion: ▫️ Rate cuts should signal significant concern as most are followed immediately by recession or followed by a recession within 2 to 6 months of the initial cut. This is high risk territory. ▫️ During the week I seen the 2 year treasury bill which matches closely the Federal Reserve interest rate cycle. The spread developing between the two suggests rate cuts are imminent. Remember point one above. The chart below: CHART 3 Relationship between 2 Year Bonds and Interest Rate ▫️ Very briefly, you can see the red areas where gaps formed when the Federal Reserve interest rate was lagging behind the 2 year treasury bonds declines. ▫️ Currently there is a large gap of 1.74% between the two data sets. The last time we had gaps like this were prior to the 2000 and 2007 recessions. Even prior to COVID-19 you can see the Federal reserve was playing catch up. What to watch for in coming weeks and months? ▫️ If both the 10 - 2 year treasury yield spread and the U.S. Unemployment Rate continue in their upwards trajectory in coming weeks and months, this is a significant risk off signal and recession imminent warning. ▫️ Since 1999 the Federal reserve interest pauses have averaged at 11 months. July 2024 is the 11th month. This suggests rate cuts are imminent. ▫️ The 2 year bond yield which provides a lead on interest rate direction is suggesting that rates are set to decline in the immediate future and that the Fed might lagging in their rate cuts. Furthermore, rate cuts are anticipated in Sept 2024 by market participant's. ▫️ Finally, rate cuts should signal significant concern as most are followed immediately by recession or followed by a recession within 2 to 6 months of the initial cut. Yet the market appears to be calling out for this. This is high risk territory. Combine this with a treasury yield curve rising above the 0 level and an increasing U.S. unemployment rate and things look increasingly concerning. We can keep any eye on these charts for a lead on what might happen next. I will be reviewing some other charts over coming days around jobless claims and ISM figures to see how positive and negative we are looking. PUKA

Potential opportunity from interest rate volatility - $IVOL Quadratic Interest Rate Volatility & Inflation Hedge ETF AMEX:IVOL Quadratic Interest Rate Volatility and Inflation Hedge ETF AMEX:IVOL is starting to look interesting. I wonder can it break above the 10 month smooth moving average this time? Do you think there is a chance of interest rate volatility and want to profit off it? Do you think there is a chance of widening spreads between 2-year Treasury bond yields and 10-year Treasury bond yields? If so this ETF might perform nicely in coming months. What is the IVOL ETF product? Its objective is to protect against inflation whilst providing additional returns from options contracts. IVOL was launched in May 2019 by Quadratic Capital Management under management of @nancy__davis, a prior Goldman Sachs trader who is also quiet the looker. IVOL is an intriguing way to benefit from higher interest rate volatility and widening spreads between 2-year Treasury bond yields and 10-year Treasury bond yields. The ETF should not be confused as an investment to protect against rising interest rates as that is not its objective, it reacts off interest rate volatility and widening 10Y/2Y spreads. IVOL’s inflation protection component is straightforward with 87% of its assets invested in the Schwab U.S. TIPS ETF $SCHP. IVOL earns interest on the inflation-protected bonds held by SCHP. IVOL also benefits from the principal increase in the Treasury Inflation-Protected Security (TIPS) based on the inflation rate. I might do another brief explainer on this product next if you like? The remaining 13% component is mainly options orientated and more complicated. In simple terms if interest rate volatility increases or if investors expect larger fluctuations in interest rates, then the value of the options held by IVOL increases. If interest rate volatility falls, then the options held by IVOL will fall in price. Its a very interesting product given the consistent movement in interest rates over recent months and the spread between the 2Y and 10Y being at an inflection point. I had to put together a chart for for the IVOL and it appears the RSI has a great history of picking tops and bottoms. It is an interesting and gradually growing ETF product that may be of use in the near term. I hope the explanation helps but more so, I hope that the chart will help anyone using the IVOL to avoid unnecessary risk. PUKA

Why Interest Rates Matter for Forex TradersWhy Interest Rates Matter for Forex Traders Delve into the intricate world of forex, where interest rates stand as towering beacons guiding currency movements and trader strategies. From the fundamentals of central bank operations to the subtle nuances of the carry trade, uncover how they shape the global financial tapestry, dictating economic outcomes and trader fortunes. Understanding Interest Rates An interest rate is the cost of borrowing money or the return earned from lending, expressed as a percentage. Two primary types dominate the discourse: Central Bank Interest Rates Set by monetary authorities like the Federal Reserve, these rates often serve as the benchmark for short-term lending between banks. For instance, the federal funds rate in the US dictates interbank loans overnight, influencing liquidity and, by extension, currency value. Market Interest Rates Think LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) – the rate at which banks lend to each other in the international interbank market. It, influenced by supply and demand dynamics, often fluctuates daily, making it a vital metric for traders who delve into currency swaps or forward rate agreements. In trading currency pairs, interest rates aren't mere numbers – they're indicators dictating strength, investment flows, and overall economic health. Interest Rates as Market Drivers In forex, interest rates emerge as crucial influencers. Acting as catalysts, they shape currency values, guide investment flows, and mould strategies traders employ. For those looking to take advantage of these forces, using a platform like FXOpen's TickTrader offers a competitive edge, ensuring traders have access to real-time data and advanced trading tools. Decoding Interest Rates in Forex Market Trends Interest rates wield enormous power in the global financial theatre, particularly in the dynamics of forex trading. One of the clearest relationships observed is between high interest rates and currencies. Elevated rates act as a magnet for foreign capital since investors constantly scout for better returns. This inflow requires the purchase of the country's currency, leading to its appreciation. Carry Trade and Interest Dynamics One such tactic to capitalise on rate disparities is the carry trade. Traders borrow funds in a currency with low rates and invest it in a currency yielding higher returns. The difference or the "carry" becomes their profit. The symbiotic relationship between interest rates and forex is deeply evident here. A sound grasp of the nuances of this strategy can lead to lucrative opportunities for seasoned traders. Interest Differentials: The Subtle Nuances Even minor variations in rates across nations can offer significant opportunities. These differentials between currency pairs influence their relative strengths. For instance, if Country A starts offering higher interest rates than Country B, it could lead to an appreciation of Country A's currency, interest rates playing the central role. Savvy traders continually analyse these differentials, strategising their trades to capitalise on the anticipated market movements. Central Banks and Monetary Policy Central banks hold a significant position in steering a nation's economic direction. One of their critical levers is the setting of interest rates. They directly impact the money supply and, subsequently, inflation levels. When inflation surges beyond targeted levels, central banks may raise rates to rein it in, as this will typically reduce consumer borrowing and spending. Conversely, when economies face downturns, they might reduce them, promoting borrowing and investment and aiming to boost economic activity. Thus, the delicate balance between inflation rates and interest rates is a testament to the central authorities’ pivotal role in economic stability. Monetary Policy Tools: Shaping the Financial Landscape Central banks use a variety of tools to implement their monetary policies: Open Market Operations By buying or selling government securities, these banks control the money circulating in the economy. Selling securities pulls money out of the market, leading to higher interest rates. Conversely, purchasing them injects money, pushing rates down. Reserve Requirements By altering the amount of money banks need to hold in reserve, central banks can influence the amount available for loans. A higher reserve means fewer loans, resulting in higher rates and vice versa. Forward Guidance and Quantitative Easing These are more nuanced tools. Forward guidance involves bank governors communicating their future plans, providing the market with a sense of direction. Quantitative easing, on the other hand, involves large-scale asset purchases to increase money supply and lower interest rates. Economic Indicators and Their Correlation with Interest Rates Economic indicators provide valuable insights into a country's financial health, and their fluctuations often influence monetary policy decisions. For instance, when inflation surpasses target levels, central banks might consider hiking them to temper the rising prices, leading to an interplay between foreign exchange and interest rates. A strong GDP growth signals a thriving economy, which might attract foreign investments. These inflows usually put upward pressure on the domestic currency. However, if the bank responds by raising rates, this may further amplify its strength. Thus, the effect of increasing interest rates on currency is often profound, making it a focal point for forex traders. Similarly, employment metrics, consumer sentiment, and manufacturing output are all vital indicators that economists monitor. Changes in these metrics might hint at upcoming monetary policy adjustments. Lastly, there are foreign currency loans and interest rates. When global rates are low, corporations might engage in foreign currency loans, seeking cheaper financing options. However, shifts in these rates can impact the cost of servicing these loans, leading to potential forex market volatility. The Bottom Line The dance between forex and interest rates is both complex and fascinating. As we've seen, interest rate trading offers profound insights and opportunities for those in the foreign exchange arena. For those eager to navigate these waters and capitalise on the intricate interplay of rates and currencies, opening an FXOpen account can be the gateway to informed, strategic trading in this dynamic market.

Pressure Builds Ahead of Major Central Bank Marathon It's a huge week for central banks with the Bank of Japan (BOJ), Federal Reserve (Fed), and Bank of England (BOE) set to deliver their decisions within a 32-hour window. Market activity remains largely subdued in anticipation. The BOJ’s decision is the most unpredictable. Current market sentiment suggests a ~60% likelihood of a 10-basis point hike and a ~40% chance of no change. A lack of action could undermine the yen's recent gains with a potential resistance at 155.30 (100 MA). The Fed's announcement is scheduled for Wednesday. Market expectations for a rate cut are just 5%. Investors are keenly awaiting any signals regarding a potential move in September. Finally, the Bank of England has the market guessing with an almost 50 –50 chance for a cut. GBP traders are also digesting a key speech from the new finance minister Rachel Reeves in which she unveiled plans for some spending cuts/ or tax increases to fill a £22bn spending shortfall that was 'covered up' by the Conservative government. Traders now also have 30th October to look forward to as the date of the autumn budget.

A Recession Is Coming - Brace for Impact First things first What is a Recession? A recession is a period when the economy isn't doing well. It means businesses are selling less, people are losing jobs or not getting raises, and overall, there's less money being spent. It's like a slowdown in the economy where things are not growing, and sometimes they shrink. This period of economic decline usually lasts for a few months or longer. Usually, when we have two consecutive quarters of negative Gross Domestic Product (GDP) we say that we are in a recession. Now, let's look at previous recessions to see if we can find some patterns that help us predict the coming one. 😊 This is how you can navigate through the chart: - past recessions are highlighted with orange colored boxes based on the data from "FRED economic data". - The purple line chart shows the US inflation rate. - The US GDP is shown in a green step-line chart. - The US interest rate is shown with an orange line. - The Yellow line chart shows the unemployment rate in the US. - The most important line chart here is the blue one that shows the spread between the 10-year bond yield and the 3-month bond yield (Yes we could also use 2-year instead of 3-month). This blue line, the yield curve, is important to us because it's a reliable indicator that almost every time gave us a heads up for a recession (if you were looking at it of course 😁). When it falls below zero, we call it the inverted yield curve and we hit a recession almost every time it gets back up after spending some time below zero. An inverted yield curve tells us that the market participants are concerned about future economic growth It can lead to tighter financial conditions, reduced lending, and lower consumer and business spending, which can contribute to a downturn in the economy. With that said, take a look at the chart and you can easily spot the repetitive pattern of interest rate hikes/cuts, unemployment rate, and the inverted yield curve just before each recession. With the strong possibility of having the first rate cut in September, and the patterns you see on the chart, can you say that we are going to have a hard landing and a recession? I would say yes. If you say we are not going into a recession and your counter argument is backed by a low unemployment rate and a positive GDP and a declining inflation rate, this chart does not support the idea. I know there are other factors that might support the soft landing scenario, and I would like to have your point of view on this. So, please share your thoughts in comments section if you are reading this post through Tradingview. 😊 For further research, you can pull up the charts of indices like S&P500 or commodities of your choice to see how they moved during each recession. This will help you find some patterns that might assist you in your future investments.

Using Interest Rate Parity to Trade ForexUsing Interest Rate Parity to Trade Forex Interest rate parity stands as a cornerstone concept in forex trading, offering a lens to assess currency value shifts based on interest differentials. This article explains how traders can leverage this principle to make strategic decisions, delving into its mechanics, implications, and practical applications in the forex market. Understanding Interest Rate Parity Interest rate parity (IRP) is a foundational theory in foreign exchange markets that provides a link between exchange rate parity and the cost of borrowing. At its core, IRP posits that the difference in interest rates between two countries is equal to the differential between the forward and spot exchange rates when adjusted across compounding periods. To understand IRP, one must first grasp the concepts of spot and forward rates. The spot rate is the current price at which one currency can be exchanged for another. For instance, if the EUR/USD spot price is 1.10, one euro can buy 1.10 US dollars today. Conversely, a forward rate is agreed upon today but represents the price at which one currency will be exchanged for another at a future date. Forward values are based on the spot rate but adjusted by the interest differential between the two currencies. If the US borrowing cost is higher than that in the Eurozone, the forward price for EUR/USD will typically be higher than the spot price. Exchange rate parity refers to a situation where the value of two currencies is at an equilibrium, such that there are no arbitrage opportunities from interest differentials. IRP theorises that the forex is efficient and self-correcting in the long run, with interest and exchange rates moving in tandem to eliminate arbitrage opportunities. The Mechanics of IRP The interest rate parity formula is instrumental in determining the fair value of a forward price. The formula is based on the premise that the difference in borrowing costs between two countries is an anchor of market movements over time. In essence, it equates the return on a domestic deposit to the return on a foreign deposit, factoring in price movements. To calculate this, one would use an interest rate parity calculator, which requires inputs such as the domestic and foreign interest rates, the spot price, and the duration of the contract. The formula is expressed as: F = S * (1 + id) / (1 + if) ^ t Where: F is the forward exchange rate, S is the spot exchange rate, id is the domestic interest rate, if is the foreign interest rate, t is the time duration of the contract (in years). The forward rate (F) tells traders what the forex quote should be in the future to prevent arbitrage due to the interest differentials. For instance, if the domestic country A offers a lower lending rate compared to the foreign country B, it is expected that the domestic currency will depreciate in value relative to the foreign currency over time. The expected depreciation is reflected in a forward value that is lower than the spot value. Understanding the IRP calculation can help traders analyse where currencies are headed, providing the foundation of strategies such as hedging or speculative trades based on anticipated lending rate movements. While these calculations provide theoretical values, actual market prices may diverge due to market sentiment, liquidity conditions, and unforeseen economic events. Interest Rate Parity Example Assume an investor is choosing between depositing $100,000 in the United States at an annual interest of 2% (id = 0.02) or in the United Kingdom at an annual interest of 5% (if = 0.05). The current spot price (S) is 1.3000 USD/GBP. The future value of the US investment after one year would be: 100,000 * (1 + 0.02) = 102,000 USD To calculate the equivalent investment in the UK, convert the dollars to pounds at the spot value and apply the UK lending rate: (100,000 / 1.3000) * (1 + 0.05) ≈ 80,769.23 GBP Now, to avoid arbitrage, the forward rate (F) should equate the future value of the UK investment when converted back to USD to the future value of the US investment. The formula to find the forward rate is: F = S * (1 + id) / (1 + if) Plug the values into the formula: F = 1.3000 * (1 + 0.02) / (1 + 0.05) Simplify the equation: F = 1.3000 * 1.02 / 1.05 F ≈ 1.2714 USD/GBP This means the forward price should be approximately 1.2714, indicating that in one year, one British pound is expected to be exchanged for 1.2714 US dollars, based on the interest differential. Using IRP to Trade Forex Using IRP in forex trading involves analysing currency parity to determine future prices. Traders can gauge the potential movement of forex pairs by examining the interest differentials between two economies. If a country's borrowing costs rise relative to another's, its currency is often expected to strengthen due to the appeal of higher returns on investment. This relationship is a key consideration in strategies such as the carry trade, where traders borrow in a currency with a low borrowing cost and invest in one with a higher yield, taking advantage of the differential. Using platforms like FXOpen's TickTrader may enhance the process, providing over 1,200 trading tools to help demystify the markets. Factors Influencing IRP IRP is significantly influenced by central bank policies, as these institutions set the base interest rates in their respective currencies. Decisions to change these rates often reflect economic conditions like inflation, employment levels, and economic growth. Additionally, geopolitical events, market sentiment, and financial stability contribute to borrowing cost fluctuations. While central bank announcements can cause immediate market reactions, long-term trends in IRP are shaped by the underlying economic health of nations. Traders monitor these indicators to analyse shifts in currency parity and adjust their strategies accordingly. The Bottom Line In exploring the intricacies of IRP, traders gain valuable insights into the dynamics of forex trading. It's a crucial part of a strategic toolkit, helping to anticipate and react to market movements. For those ready to apply this knowledge, opening an FXOpen account offers a gateway to harnessing the power of interest differentials in the dynamic forex market.

Short Position on EUR/USD: Potential Major DowntrendI'm entering a short position of 4 lots on FX:EURUSD at 1.0865. This trade setup is based on my analysis of recent price action and key support levels. If we break below 1.0827, I believe this will confirm that the top for FX:EURUSD is finally in, signaling a strong bearish trend. Trade Details: Entry: 1.0865 (Short position) Confirmation Level: 1.0827 (Break below this to confirm downtrend) Target: 1.0538 (-1.618 Fibonacci extension) Technical Analysis: Entry Point (1.0865): This level represents a key resistance where recent price action has shown signs of selling pressure. Entering at this point allows us to position ourselves ahead of a potential breakdown. Confirmation Level (1.0827): This is a critical support level that is the .50 fib level of the recent breakout. A decisive break below this level will indicate that bearish momentum is gaining strength, confirming the downtrend. Target (1.0538): The -1.618 Fibonacci extension from the most recent breakout of structure suggests this as a logical target for the downward move. This level has historical significance and could act as a strong support where the price may stabilize or reverse. Recent Rally Peak: It appears we are currently at the peak of a sizable rally from 1.06. This rally has driven the FX:EURUSD up to our second entry point, and the momentum appears to be weakening, suggesting a potential reversal is imminent. Supporting Factors: Bearish Momentum: The recent price action shows lower highs, indicating a bearish trend. Economic Indicators: Recent economic data from the Eurozone and the U.S. suggest a potential divergence in monetary policy, favoring a stronger USD $DXY. Market Sentiment: Current market sentiment appears to be risk-off, which typically benefits the USD as a safe-haven currency. Eurozone Rate Cuts: The Eurozone is projected to cut interest rates in June. This potential rate cut will likely weaken the euro further and be beneficial to the USD TVC:DXY , adding to the bearish case for FX:EURUSD . U.S. Interest Rate Hike: Additionally, I believe the U.S. will raise interest rates by the end of the year. This expected rate hike would further strengthen the USD TVC:DXY , adding downward pressure on FX:EURUSD .

$EUIRYY -EU YoY (CPI) source: EUROSTAT The inflation rate in the Euro Area declined to 2.9% year-on-year in October 2023, reaching its lowest level since July 2021 and falling slightly below the market consensus of 3.1% . Meanwhile, The Core Rate, which filters out volatile food and energy prices, also cooled to 4.2% in October; marking its lowest point since July 2022. However, both rates remained above the European Central Bank's target of 2%. The energy cost tumbled by 11.1% (compared to -4.6% in September), and the rates of inflation eased for both food, alcohol, and tobacco (7.5% compared to 8.8%) and non-energy industrial goods (3.5% compared to 4.1%). Services inflation remained relatively stable at 4.6%, compared to 4.7% in the previous month. On a monthly basis, consumer prices edged up 0.1% in October, after a 0.3% gain in September.

USD/CAD Pressured but Policy Divergence Still FavorableUSD/CAD has entered its third straight losing week and faces renewed pressures today after the upside surprise in Canadian inflation. Crucially, Core CPI accelerated 1.6% y/y in May, snapping its five-months declining streak. The Bank of Canada had slashed rates earlier this month, for the first time four years and had hinted at further easing if inflation continued to decelerate. But today’s hot CPI report, casts some doubt over the disinflation process and the policy path. The pair remains is risk of bigger decline below the 38.2% Fibonacci of the December-April advance. Sustained weakness towards and beyond 1.3419 has a higher degree of difficulty though. However, today’s hot report is not the end of the disinflation process and is likely not enough to bar further rate cuts by the BoC. Its US counterpart meanwhile is reluctant to pivot due to inflation persistence and Fed officials see just one cut this year, despite more optimistic market pricing for two moves. This monetary policy divergence remains a tailwind for USD/CAD. On the technical front, the pair has already defended the critical 38.2% Fibonacci and another bounce off would reaffirm the upside bias and allow the bulls to push for new 2024 highs (1.3846).

BoE Rate Decision: Pound's Fate Hangs in the Balance – Rally or With the Bank of England's (BoE) interest rate decision on the horizon, let's examine recent developments in GBPUSD, primarily through the lens of fundamental analysis. Chart analysis reveals that recent GBPUSD fluctuations have been largely influenced by the US dollar's strength, fueled by the Fed's increasingly hawkish stance. Although a September rate cut by the Fed is still widely anticipated, recent commentary and revised dot plot projections suggest a more cautious approach, bolstering the dollar's bullish momentum. US Dollar Strength: Not Just About Rate Cuts The US dollar's resilience, despite the expected rate cut, can be attributed to several factors. The September cut was already priced into the market, and the Fed's surprisingly hawkish tone has prompted a reassessment of the likelihood of further easing. Until clear signs of cooling inflation and a looser labor market emerge in the US, the dollar's upward trajectory is likely to persist. The CME FedWatch Tool, which forecasts rate movements based on fed funds futures trading data, currently shows a higher probability of a rate cut in September than before the recent CPI data release. This suggests that the market is still weighing the Fed's intentions carefully. UK Inflation on Target: A Dovish BoE Unlikely Yesterday's UK inflation data, which met the BoE's 2% target, might not lead to an immediate shift towards a dovish monetary policy. Market consensus anticipates a rate hold at 5.25% in today's BoE meeting (most analysts and economists predict the first rate cut to occur in August). However, the BoE's forward guidance will be critical. Hawkish commentary regarding inflation, robust wage growth, or a tight labor market could temporarily strengthen the pound. Short-Term & Mid-Term Outlook: A Bullish Pound Faces Headwinds In the short term, a hawkish BoE could potentially drive GBPUSD back towards the 1.28 level. However, a sustained bullish momentum is unlikely, with a mid-term target of 1.26 seeming more plausible. This is because even with a hawkish stance, the UK's inflation and labor market appear better positioned for easing compared to the US, suggesting the BoE may be forced to adopt a dovish stance sooner than the Fed.

Sell NZDJPY Wedge BreakoutThe NZD/JPY pair on the M30 timeframe presents a potential selling opportunity due to a recent downward breakout from a well-defined Wedge pattern. This suggests a shift in momentum towards the downside in the coming Hours. Key Points: Sell Entry : Consider entering a short position around the current price of 96.70, positioned close to the breakout level. This offers an entry point near the perceived shift in momentum. Target Levels: 1st Support – 96.17 2nd Support – 95.82 Stop-Loss: To manage risk, place a stop-loss order above 97.20. This helps limit potential losses if the price unexpectedly reverses and breaks back upwards. Thank you.

Yields are still selling off after yesterday's dropLet's see how the TVC:VIX does over the next few days/weeks. Still think it eventually breaks its major support level, at least temporarily. The 2Yr and 10Yr are crashing and following yesterdays drop. TVC:TNX #interestrates, as we said, will likely be cut, even if a little. They will most likely be raised again next year. Not political... Anyway, since we have stated COUNTLESS times. They CANNOT lower rates but MUST lower them.

Could the USDJPY retest 160?When the BoJ increased interest rates in March, for the first time in 17 years, the Yen continued to weaken due to the perceived lack of commitment toward further rate hikes. In April the BoJ kept rates on hold at 0.10%, which saw the Yen react with further weakness. The BoJ is due to release its Policy Rate and Monetary Policy Statement tomorrow (Friday). With the USDJPY currently at the 157.25 price level, a resumption of strength on the DXY following the FOMC decision yesterday could see the USDJPY climb up to the resistance level of 158 before the BoJ decision. If the BoJ decides to keep rates on hold and not take any further action on reducing its bond purchases, the Yen could weaken further, pushing the USDJPY higher toward the all time high of 160. This is likely to make it very interesting as it would reignite the speculation of a possible currency intervention from the BoJ

Bullish DXY (Post FOMC Analysis 13th June)The DXY spiked higher from the 104.20 price level to 104.60 during the release of the FOMC interest rate decision and the press conference. The move higher has continued through the Asia session with the DXY now approaching the 105-round number level (around the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the move yesterday) This bullish move in the DXY is likely due to the FOMC adopting a conservative undertone during the news release. Conservative due to - "We don't see ourselves as having the confidence that would warrant policy loosening at this time" - "We need further confidence, more good inflation readings but won't be specific about how many to start rate cuts" - Indicating the potential of only 1 rate cut decision to come for the 2nd half of the year - "Rate cuts that might have taken place this year, take place next year" If the economy progresses along its current path, the FOMC dot plot suggests that terminal rates for 2024 is likely to be 5.1%. Adopting a conservative stance on rates for 2024 (which could be offset by a more aggressive rate decision in 2025, 4 cuts expected) is bullish for the DXY as it indicates that rates could remain high for longer. Look for the DXY to continue climbing to the upside, toward the immediate resistance level of 105.60 (which coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the longer term) Beyond 105.60, the DXY could retest the high from April at 106.40
