CPI
🔥 EUR/USD - Time To Rise ? (READ THE CAPTION)By checking the EURUSD chart, we see that the price is trading in the supply range of 1.077, and I think that if the price can maintain the support of the range of 1.072 to 1.075, we will probably see the break of the resistance of 1.080 and rise to 1.088!

⚡️Strifor || SILVER-13/02/2024Preferred direction: BUY
Comment: Silver has been stable for weeks and is one of the strongest instruments at the moment. Of course, the US CPI will be reflected in the metal. Despite the forecasted figures, we confidently continue to remain long on silver. The growth target is located at the level of 23.32250 . However, growth above this value can also be expected.

⚡️Strifor || USDCAD-13/02/2024Preferred direction: SELL
Comment : Before the publication of inflation data in the US , the Canadian dollar also has the prospect of strengthening. Scenario №1 , which we gave in the previous trading idea for this instrument, is already active. However, given the economic calendar today, scenario №2 is also actively being considered. The target for the fall remained at the same level, namely 1.34000.

⚡️Strifor || AUDUSD-13/02/2024Preferred direction: BUY
Comment: Today is a very important day for the current week, since the publication of data on the US CPI is expected. Against this background, most majors retain their buy priority, and especially the Australian dollar continues to look up in the medium term. At the very moment of publication of CPI data, of course, anything can happen, but the main direction is still in favor of the buyer. In a more negative case, you need to count on scenario №2 , which can still be activated.

EUR/USD eyes German inflationEUR/USD is slightly lower on Wednesday. In the North American session, the euro is trading at 1.0751, down 0.20%.
Germany's CPI is expected at 0.2% m/m on Friday, which would confirm the initial estimate from two weeks earlier. On an annualized basis, the initial estimate for CPI came in at 2.9% in January, down sharply from 3.7% in December. A deceleration in energy and food costs was the driver of the downturn in January, which was the lowest inflation rate since June 2021. Core inflation has also been falling, with the initial estimate showing a drop to 3.4%, its lowest rate since June 2022.
The drop in German inflation is not all that surprising, as the eurozone's largest economy has been struggling. Germany's manufacturing sector has been in prolonged decline and the services sector is sputtering, with five declines in the past six months. The economy declined in the fourth quarter and another contraction in Q1 would mean that Germany will have entered a technical recession. The eurozone is also grappling with a weak economy, with the latest evidence earlier this week as retail sales slipped 1.1% m/m in December.
Despite weak economic conditions in the eurozone and Germany, the European Central Bank has been hesitant to cut interest rates. ECB members have expressed concern that inflation could make a comeback if the ECB were to cut rates too early. That could force the ECB to raise rates again and the optics of such a zig-zag would be disastrous. For now, the ECB remains hawkish on rate policy and is content to continue holding rates until inflation falls closer to the 2% target.
Since last week's Fed meeting, a host of Fed members have delivered the message that inflation is heading in the right direction but the Fed plans to be patient and is in no rush to lower rates. The markets have taken note of the Fed's pushback and have pared expectations of a rate cut in March to 18%, down from over 70% in January, according to the CME's Fed Watch tool.
EUR/USD tested support at 1.0746 earlier. Below, there is support at 1.0704
There is resistance at 1.0822 and 1.0864
XAUUSD is getting closer to $2060The price of gold is back in positive territory, heading to retest the two-week high of $2,056 set on Wednesday. The US Dollar is losing momentum amid a renewed appetite for risk, as markets applaud China's fiscal support while assessing the interest rate outlook of the United States Federal Reserve. China's Vice Finance Minister, Wang Dongwei, announced on Thursday that they "will appropriately increase investment under the central government budget," which "will help expand domestic demand." This comes after China's Caixin Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) remained at 50.8 in January, suggesting steady growth in the country's manufacturing sector. US Treasury bond yields declined on Wednesday, dragging the US Dollar down, following the ADP Employment Change data coming in below estimates at 107,000, and the Treasury Department's quarterly announcement that it would sell $121 billion in notes and bonds next week, up from $112 billion last quarter. However, a relatively hawkish tone from the Fed, following its two-day policy meeting, failed to offer any relief to US Treasury bond yields, while the US Dollar rose on the Fed's resistance to a rate cut in March. The US central bank extended the pause, as Fed Chair Jerome Powell said, "based on the meeting today, I don't think it's likely we will have a rate cut in March." Currently, markets are pricing in a 35% probability that the Fed will cut rates in March, while for May, the odds stand at 92%. All eyes now turn toward Friday's US Nonfarm Payrolls data to confirm the resistance to a rate cut by the Fed until May. Ahead of that, traders will look to US Jobless Claims, Unit Labor Cost (Q4), and ISM Manufacturing PMI data for fresh trading impetus in the gold price. The upcoming data could help reprice the market's expectations for the dovish Fed pivot. Gold, after breaking through a supply zone at the $2,033 level, continued its ascent to the liquidity zone at the $2,060 level. Now, I expect a bounce in the new demand zone before continuing the rally towards $2,060, a level increasingly in focus after the Fed. Greetings and happy trading to all.
EUR/USD gains ground as eurozone CPI dipsEUR/USD has edged higher in the European session and trading at 1.0890, up 0.18% on the day. The euro had a strong day on Thursday, gaining 0.50%.
Inflation continues to fall in the eurozone, although the drop was very modest. CPI eased to 2.8% y/y in January, down from 2.9% in December and in line with the market estimate. Monthly, CPI declined by 0.4% in January, after a 0.2% gain in December, matching the market estimate. Food and energy prices decelerated in January and were the drivers behind the modest dip in inflation.
Core CPI, which excludes food and energy and is a better gauge of inflation trends, dropped from 3.4% to 3.3% y/y but was above the market estimate of 3.2%. This could be a source of concern for policy makers at the European Central Bank, as the core rate remains well above the ECB's 2% target. There are concerns about inflation risks to the upside, with higher transport prices due to attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Israel-Hamas war.
The ECB remains cautious and ECB President Christine Lagarde said last week that the Middle East crisis was an "upside risk" to inflation. Lagarde said this week that the eurozone was "on a disinflationary trend" and that the ECB would be cutting rates. So in which direction is the ECB headed?
Lagarde may be signalling that although she is on board for rate cuts, she remains concerned about inflation risks to the upside and may take her time before starting to chop rates. The ECB has kept rates unchanged at 4.0% for four straight months, and the markets are eyeing April or June as the dates for an initial rate cut.
All eyes are on the US nonfarm payroll report later today. Earlier this week, the ADP employment report showed a drop in January, from a downwardly revised 158,000 to 107,000. The ADP report isn't considered a reliable guide for nonfarm payrolls, but the markets are expecting NFP to decline as well. The consensus estimate stands at 180,000, compared to 180,000 in December. If the release is wide of the estimate, we could see a strong reaction from the US dollar.
EUR/USD is putting pressure on resistance at 1.0905. Above, there is resistance at 1.0938
There is support at 1.0810 and 1.0748
EUR/USD gives up gains after soft German CPIEUR/USD showed little movement earlier but that changed after German CPI was softer than expected. The euro gained 0.40% in the aftermath of the inflation report but has given back about half of those gains. In the North American session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0857, up 0.11%.
Germany's inflation rate dropped to 2.9% y/y in January, down sharply from 3.7% in December and just below the market estimate of 3.0%. The reading, a preliminary estimate, was the lowest rate since June 2021. The drop was driven by a slowdown in goods inflation, with energy and food prices both decelerating. Services prices, however, rose slightly. Monthly, inflation ticked higher to 0.2%, compared to 0.1% in December and matching the market estimate of 0.2%.
Inflation continues to fall in the eurozone's largest economy, as the ECB's steep hike in interest rates has dampened inflationary pressures. High interest rates have also cooled the German economy, as GDP declined by 0.2% q/q. This follows the Q3 reading of -0.3%, which means that the economy is technically in a recession with two straight quarters of negative growth.
The eurozone managed to avoid a technical recession, but just barely. The economy posted zero growth in Q4 after third-quarter growth of -0.1%. The eurozone releases preliminary CPI on Thursday, with CPI expected to drop from 3.4% y/y to 3.2%.
The Federal Reserve meets later today and a pause is a virtual certainty. This would mark the fourth straight time that the Fed has held rates at the target range of 5.25%-5.50%. Traders will be looking for clues about the Fed's rate path from the rate statement and Fed Chair Powell's press conference. If the statement or the press conference signals that the Fed is moving away from its "higher for longer" stance and is looking at rate cuts, the US dollar could react with volatility.
EUR/USD tested resistance at 1.0866 earlier. Above, there is resistance at 1.0920
There is support at 1.0801 and 1.0747
XAUUSD|Breaking resistance zones and continuing growthHello friends, I hope you are doing well.
Yesterday, in gold analysis, we expected the supply areas to prevent the gold price growth, as we saw downward reactions from these areas.
But the selling pressure on gold increased and continued to move upwards.
A new upward trend has come in the form of an upward channel.
We had a resistance level in the one-hour timeframe, and now we see the one-hour candle closing above this level.
This means that gold can see higher prices.
My suggestion is to look for patterns to enter buy positions on reversals to support areas.
My target for the short term is the supply area (2047-2050).
AUDUSD: Analysis Pre AU CPIToday's focus: AUDUSD

Hi, and thanks for checking out today's update.
Today, we have run over the AUDUSD breaking down levels we have seen form and what we are looking for after tomorrow's Australian CPI data. Combined with the USD, there are a few scenarios. We have done our best to break them down and incorporate price levels into those scenarios.
Will we see a new test of support, or will buyers break current short-term resistance?
Australian CPI data is due tomorrow at 11:30 am.
Good trading.
Bitcoin will sell into discount amid interest rate hikes CPI headline inflation come in higher than previous so expect another rate hike.
When the institutions step in with their ETF money expect them to gab all the liquidity from prior month lows to bring price into discount because that it there angle.
prices should come down into these discounted Arrays for buys in line with bitcoin halving this summer or whenever it gets there ( it will eventually)
and don't find it a coincidence that it happened after approval amid interest rate hikes.
JSE 40 Index | Daily | Speculation Looking at the JSE 40 all-share Index on the daily chart we can take note that the index has been trading downwards since peaking sometime during Feb 23, now looking to the left again we can take note that after the release of the 1st quarter Dividend & Earnings release the JSE drop on both accounts.
Now looking to the right, we can take note that the JSE has been hovering/consolidating on our 8,988 level for the past few days ahead of this weeks CPI, PPI & SARB Interest Rate announcements.
Looking further to our right we can expect the JSE to push up from 8,988 to around 9,843 or 10,017 before heading down to 8,229.
Else we can expect the JSE to just tumble down to 8,229 if it closes below 8,988.

Interest Rates Trading and Hedging Through a New LensIntroduction
In the dynamic world of financial markets, Micro 10-Year Yield Futures stand out as a pivotal tool for traders and investors. These futures offer unique opportunities to navigate the complexities of interest rates, particularly in an environment influenced by key economic indicators. This article delves into how traders can leverage both fundamental economic data and a novel technical analysis approach to optimize their strategies in trading and hedging with these futures.
Fundamental Analysis Approach
Understanding CPI, PPI, and Unemployment Rate:
Consumer Price Index (CPI): This indicator measures the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a basket of goods and services. It's a critical gauge of inflation, directly impacting interest rates and, consequently, the yields on Treasury securities.
Producer Price Index (PPI): PPI tracks the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. It's a leading indicator of consumer inflation when producers pass on higher costs to consumers.
Unemployment Rate: This key metric reflects the number of unemployed workers as a percentage of the labor force. It’s vital for assessing the health of the economy, influencing monetary policy and interest rates.
These indicators, notably their changes, provide crucial insights for active trading, particularly in hedging strategies with Micro 10-Year Yield Futures. For instance, a higher-than-expected CPI or PPI might signal rising inflation, prompting traders to anticipate rate hikes and adjust their positions accordingly.
How to incorporate Fundamental Analysis into the trade decision process?
When making trading decisions for Micro 10-Year Yield Futures, it's crucial to understand the impact of economic reports on interest rates:
Buying (Long) Position Rationale:
When CPI, PPI, and Employment Rate (opposite of unemployment) are all increasing (indicated by green color on the chart), it typically suggests an expanding economy and potential inflationary pressures.
In such scenarios, interest rates are likely to rise to manage inflation. Hence, buying 10-Year Yield Futures could become a strategic move, anticipating a potential uptick in yields.
Selling Existing Long Positions:
A decrease in any of these indicators (CPI, PPI, Employment Rate) signals a potential slowdown or less aggressive inflationary pressure.
Traders holding long positions might consider selling to lock in profits or prevent losses, anticipating a potential drop in yields.
Selling (Short) Position Rationale:
If these reports show a decreasing trend (indicated by red color on the chart), it suggests economic contraction or reduced inflationary pressure.
Lower interest rates are often introduced to stimulate economic growth in such conditions. Shorting 10-Year Yield Futures could be advantageous as it would benefit from a potential fall in yields.
Buying Existing Short Positions:
An increase in any of these indicators (CPI, PPI, Employment Rate) signals a potential expanding economy and potential inflationary pressures.
Traders holding short positions might consider buying to lock in profits or prevent losses, anticipating a potential rise in yields.
Rationale Behind the Rules:
These rules are based on the traditional economic relationship between inflation, economic activity, and interest rates.
Rising inflation or strong economic growth (indicated by higher CPI, PPI, and Employment Rates) often leads to higher interest rates to prevent the economy from overheating.
Conversely, decreasing indicators suggest an economy that might need stimulation, often leading to lower interest rates.
By aligning trading strategies with these fundamental economic principles, traders can make more informed decisions, leveraging economic trends to speculate or hedge effectively.
Technical Analysis Approach
Yield Extremes and Curve Analysis:
This approach involves charting and combining the 2-Year and 30-Year yield futures contracts in one chart.
Analyzing the relationship between these yields provides insights similar to traditional yield curve analysis in a much more accessible format.
Key Indicator: A crossover between the 2-Year and 30-Year rates signifies a substantial shift in market sentiment and economic outlook.
How to Incorporate Technical Analysis into the Trade Decision Process?
As said, the crossover of yield rates between the 2-year and the 30-year yields is a pivotal event, suggesting significant changes in the yield curve. Here's how to interpret and act on these occurrences:
Identifying the Crossover Event:
A crossover event occurs when the 2-year yield rate overtakes the 30-year rate, or vice versa.
This event is indicative of a significant change in the interest rate environment, reflecting shifts in economic expectations and monetary policy.
Trading Strategy Based on Micro 10-Year Prior Price Action:
When the crossover occurs, the immediate strategy depends on the recent trend in the Micro 10-Year Yield Futures prices.
If the Micro 10-Year Yield was trending upwards prior to the crossover, it suggests bullish sentiment in the shorter term. In this scenario, traders could consider taking a short position, anticipating a potential reversal or bearish shift in the market.
Conversely, if the Micro 10-Year Yield was trending downwards, indicating bearish sentiment, traders could consider a long position post-crossover, capitalizing on the potential for a bullish reversal or recovery in prices.
Rationale Behind the Trade Rules:
The crossover event between the 2-Year and 30-Year yields represents a pivotal shift in market dynamics, often reflecting changes in economic policy, inflation expectations, or investor sentiment.
Prior price action in the Micro 10-Year Yield Futures provides a context for these shifts, indicating the market's prevailing trend and sentiment.
By aligning trading actions with both the yield curve dynamics (crossover event) and the recent trend of the Micro 10-Year Futures, traders can make informed decisions, leveraging the market's anticipated reaction to these significant economic indicators.
Market Outlook and Trade Plan
Keeping in mind the below tick and (Average True Range) ATR values, based on our analysis, we could express our market views through the following hypothetical set-ups:
Trade Plan for the Fundamental Analysis Approach:
ENTRY: Wait for the next CPI, PPI and Employment Rate reports and consider executing a trade if all 3 reports are either positive (long) or negative (short).
STOP LOSS: Located 1 Monthly ATR away from the entry price
Trade Plan for the Technical Analysis Approach:
ENTRY: The crossover may confirm itself at the end of the day. Wait for such confirmation and consider executing a short trade once confirmed.
STOP LOSS: Located 1 Monthly ATR away from the entry price
Tick Value: 0.001 Index points (1/10th basis point per annum) = $1.00
Monthly ATR: The average volatility is measured as 0.509 at the time of this report
Trade Example: If the 2-Year yield rises above the 30-Year yield amid rising CPI, consider a short position anticipating rate hikes.
Reward-to-Risk Ratio: Calculate this ratio to ensure a balanced approach to potential gains versus losses.
Risk Management in Futures Trading
Effective risk management is paramount. Utilize stop-loss orders and consider hedging techniques to mitigate potential losses. Understand the significance of economic reports and yield curve shifts in making informed decisions.
Conclusion
Micro 10-Year Yield Futures offer a versatile platform for interest rate trading and hedging. By combining monthly economic updates with a unique yield curve analysis approach, traders can navigate these markets with greater confidence and strategic foresight.

Gold Downtrend: Analyzing CPI Impact on XAUUSDIn today's trading session, our focus is on XAUUSD, where we are monitoring a potential selling opportunity around the 2020 zone. Gold, currently in a downtrend, is experiencing a correction phase as it approaches the trend at the 2020 support and resistance area.
Adding a fundamental layer to our analysis, let's delve into the recent Consumer Price Index (CPI) data. Examining the CPI figures from the past few months, we observe a consistent pattern of inflation stability. The most recent data indicates a CPI of 3.4%, slightly surpassing the forecasted 3.2%, and showing a minor decline from the previous month's 3.7%.
Now, considering the potential impact on USD strength, stable inflation can contribute to a stronger US dollar. This is because a stable economic environment, reflected in steady inflation, is often viewed positively by investors. As the USD gains strength, it can put pressure on commodities like gold, which is priced in dollars. Therefore, traders should be mindful of the potential inverse correlation between a strong USD and the value of gold.
Traders are encouraged to incorporate both fundamental and technical analysis when evaluating opportunities in XAUUSD. As always, trade safe.
GOLD|Important areas of supply and demandHello friends, I hope you are well.
We have the gold chart in the one-hour time frame.
Yesterday we said that we will wait if the support zone is broken down, the next target is the zone (2005-2008).
Now in this area, with the formation of candlestick patterns, it has moved upwards.
The areas that are important for us are the bottom of the previous broken area (2013) and the next area of the origin of the downward aggressive movement, i.e. the price range (2024-2028) for sell positions.
If we lose the support area (2008-2005), our next target is the support area (1990-1995).
Gold price extends downside as Fed rate cut bets ease17 January 2024
•Gold price has extended its losses to near $2,017 and is expected to decline further towards the psychological support of $2,000.
Technical Analysis: Gold price drops to near 50-day EMA
Gold price continues its downside below $2,020 after Fed Waller's hawkish remarks about interest rates. The near-term demand for Gold is not bullish anymore as the price has dropped below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around $2,036. The yellow metal has found interim support after sliding to near the 50-day EMA, which oscillates near $2,017. The 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) is declining towards 40.00, which could offer some cushion. However, a breakdown below the same will lead to the activation of bearish momentum.
• Gold price falls sharply as Fed Waller maintains a higher for longer interest-rates narrative.
• The last leg of high US inflation has turned out to be significantly stubborn.
Guidance from three Fed policymakers and US Retail Sales data are due on Wednesday.
Gold price (XAU/USD) has extended its correction on Wednesday as a hawkish commentary from Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Christopher Waller has cast doubts about a rate cut by the central bank in the March meeting. Fed policymakers have been favoring interest rates to remain higher for longer, defying market expectations, amid a lack of confidence in inflation returning towards the 2% target in a timely and sustainable manner.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for December indicated that the last leg of high price pressures is quite challenging for Fed policymakers, likely due to steady labor market conditions and decent consumer spending momentum. A quick rate cut decision by the Fed can lead to persistence in inflationary pressures and dampen the work done to achieve price stability.
Later in the day, the performance of the US Dollar, Treasury yields and bullions will be guided by the United States Retail Sales and Industrial Production data for December. The chances for the Fed cutting interest rates in March could ease further if the Retail Sales report comes in stronger than projected.
Daily digest market movers: Gold price falls further ahead of US Retail Sales data
•Gold price has extended its losses to near $2,017 and is expected to decline further towards the psychological support of $2,000.
The downside bias to the gold price has strengthened as investors are uncertain about when the Federal Reserve could start discussing the timeframe for interest rate cuts.
A hawkish commentary from Fed Governor Christopher Waller has raised doubts about whether the central bank will cut interest rates in March.
Christopher Waller commented that the Fed should not rush to take interest rates down until it is ensured that inflation will return to the 2% target in a sustainable manner.
Waller added that the Fed should proceed with rate cuts "methodically and carefully" to bail out the economy from an expected slowdown. He further added that resilience in the US economy could delay potential reductions in borrowing costs.
Fed policymakers have become more determined to maintain a restrictive interest rate stance as the December inflation data turned out surprisingly stubborn.
• After Waller's commentary, Investment banking firm Goldman Sachs said the Fed could cut rates somewhat later or might announce one cut each quarter from April.
Meanwhile, bets supporting a rate cut by the Fed in March have dropped further. As per the CME Fedwatch tool, trades see a 61.4% chance for a 25-basis points (bps) interest rate cut in March, down from 70% at the start of the week.
• The increase in the US Dollar Index (DXY) also weighed on the gold price. The USD Index has slightly corrected after posting a fresh monthly high above 103.50.
•Further action in the US Dollar will be guided by the United States Retail Sales and Industrial Production data for December.
• Investors have projected that Retail Sales increased by 0.4%, higher than the 0.3% rise in November. Industrial Production is seen stagnant after rising 0.2% in November.
Apart from the US economic data, Fed's Beige Book and fresh outlook on interest rates from Fed speakers will be keenly watched. On Wednesday, Fed's Michael Barr, Michelle Bowman, and John Williams are due to speak.
Fed policymakers are expected to endorse a restrictive monetary policy stance for a longer period than what is anticipated by market participants.

⚡️Strifor || AUDUSD-US PPI‼️Preferred direction: SELL
Comment: Yesterday's CPI data practically allowed the US dollar to break through key local support/resistance levels and begin its growth. However, the market quickly ran to buy American currency, and in this case, the big money has no one to go to. In addition, the current pause may be associated with the next important data from the United States (PPI).
The setup remains the same for all major pairs. Here we cannot rule out an attempt at false growth ( scenario №2 ), so two scenarios are currently relevant. The target for the fall is level 0.65848.
Thank you for like and share your views!
⚡️Strifor || USDCHF-11/01/2024Preferred direction: BUY
Comment: The dollar is still being considered for sale. There were low expectations that we would see a strengthening of the US currency before the publication of inflation data in the US. But nevertheless, the buy-priority remains in USD .
USDCHF forms a clear accumulation, which is filled with market sales. And this means a potential resource for growth. Technically, we continue to accumulate before reaching the level of 0.85696 , which also says more about an impending upward breakout of this resistance.
The scenarios are highlighted on the chart. The first is more likely, but the second may be realized just at the time of the publication of inflation data. That is, in the second case, there will be a preliminary false breakdown downward and then a growth above the level of 0.85696.
Thank you for like and share your views!
⚡️Strifor || NZDUSD-11/01/2024Preferred direction: SELL
Comment: The New Zealand dollar is also expected to fall. Here, the situation is exactly the same as with AUDUSD. An accumulation formed at the level of 0.62359 , filled with purchases (long-orders). The publication of inflation data in the US is expected, against the background of which a downward impulse may happen.
Also, due to the data, at the time of publication there may be increased volatility, we do not exclude a potential false breakout of the upper limit of accumulation (scenario №2), after which we wait for the target price at the level of 0.61263.
