Hopefully people can understand why there's so much controversial developments on Russia & BRICS +, this current war is nothing to do with helping another country. Its because BRICS see's the end of the US system and they are preparing for it.

Daily Market Analysis - TUESDAY JULY 18, 2023Greetings, traders! Welcome back to our daily Market Analysis. Today, we have gathered the top news and interesting fundamental analysis for your consideration. Let's dive in and stay informed! Key News: USA - Core Retail Sales (MoM) (Jun) USA - Retail Sales (MoM) (Jun) On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average concluded the trading session on a positive note, driven by the strength of the technology and financial sectors. Market participants eagerly awaited the release of quarterly results from major Wall Street banks and corporations scheduled for later in the week. However, the overall market gains were somewhat tempered by a stumble in the telecom sector. The Dow Jones Industrial Average registered a modest increase of 0.2%, equivalent to 76 points. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq experienced a more substantial rise of 0.9%, reflecting the strong performance of technology-related stocks. The broader S&P 500 also displayed a positive movement, advancing by 0.3%. The market's attention remains focused on the upcoming corporate earnings reports, which are expected to provide insights into the health and performance of key sectors. Investors will closely analyze these results to gauge the overall strength of the economy and make informed investment decisions accordingly. NASDAQ indices daily chart S&P500 indices daily chart Dow Jones indices daily chart The release of Chinese GDP data disappointed as it fell below expectations, indicating a slowdown in economic growth. The quarterly growth rate stood at 0.8%, lower than the 2.2% recorded in the previous quarter (Q1), while the annualized growth rate of 6.3% fell short of the anticipated 7.3%. Additionally, retail sales for June showed lackluster performance, with a year-on-year increase of only 3.1%, significantly below the 12.7% growth achieved in May. These figures affirm the notion that China's post-Covid economic surge has lost momentum. Consequently, European indices felt the impact of this news, leading to a broad decline across the board. In the previous week, the dollar index experienced a notable decline of approximately 2.34%, raising concerns about its future strength. Whether the dollar will continue to weaken largely depends on signals from the Federal Reserve during its upcoming meeting. Market participants will closely watch for any indications of the Fed's monetary policy stance and their potential impact on the dollar's value in the global currency market. US Dollar Currency Index daily chart If the Federal Reserve signals that it has concluded its interest rate hikes, it is probable that the dollar will face challenges in recovering in the short to medium term. However, there are a few potential scenarios that could trigger a dollar recovery. The first scenario involves weaker-than-expected corporate earnings, although this outcome seems unlikely. The second scenario revolves around a shift in economic data from Europe and the UK that could exert downward pressure on the pound and the euro, both of which have demonstrated strength against the dollar. In the upcoming week, market attention will be focused on inflation data in the UK, with expectations pointing towards a decline to 8.2% from the previous 8.7%. If this decline materializes, it would create one of the widest inflation gaps between the UK and the US since the 1970s. It is worth noting that US headline inflation dropped to 3% last month, further highlighting the potential disparity between the two economies. The outcome of these scenarios and the interpretation of economic data will play a significant role in shaping the dollar's trajectory. Investors will closely monitor developments and adjust their positions accordingly, as the dollar's recovery hinges on various factors in the global economic landscape. UK GDP Indeed, the disparity in inflation rates between the UK and the US has been a significant factor contributing to the strength of GBP/USD. If the UK's inflation rate does exceed the Bank of England's forecast of 7.9% for June and comes in at 8.2%, it will reinforce the UK's position as a global outlier in terms of inflation. This could potentially lead to additional strength in the pound against the dollar in the short term. However, it is essential to consider other factors that could influence the pound's performance. While high inflation may support the pound, the UK's economic growth indicators will also play a crucial role. If the UK's economic growth shows more pronounced signs of strain, it could prompt the Bank of England to adopt a tighter monetary policy to address price pressures and curb inflation. Such a shift in policy could potentially offset the strength of the pound. Ultimately, the interplay between inflation, economic growth, and central bank policy will shape the outlook for GBP/USD. Market participants will closely monitor these factors and adjust their positions accordingly, as the currency pair continues to respond to developments in both economies. GBP/USD daily chart EUR/USD is currently surging to its highest levels since early 2022, and data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) reveals a significant long position (+19% of open interest) on the euro in anticipation of the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) release. While data releases in the eurozone are relatively light this week, all attention is focused on an important conference organized by the European Central Bank (ECB). President Christine Lagarde and other ECB speakers are expected to provide insights during this event, potentially influencing market expectations leading up to the next policy meeting. Although it appears that a rate hike in July has already been decided, discussions have already commenced regarding September. The ECB conference has the potential to shape market sentiment and provide further clues about the central bank's future policy decisions. Traders and investors will closely analyze the statements and remarks from ECB officials for any indications of the timeline and extent of rate adjustments. The high levels of open interest in long euro positions indicate a bullish sentiment towards the currency. However, market participants will monitor the ECB conference and the subsequent developments leading up to the policy meeting for any potential shifts in expectations or surprises. The outcome of these events will likely impact the direction and strength of the euro against the US dollar in the coming days and weeks. EUR/USD daily chart With a lack of significant data releases in the US this week, market participants are closely monitoring developments to assess the future trajectory of FX markets. The primary focus revolves around whether investors will find enough catalysts to initiate short positions on the dollar ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting or if they will adopt a more cautious stance. From my perspective, the latter scenario appears slightly more likely, suggesting that the dollar may experience a recovery, potentially leading to support for the Dollar Index (DXY) as it climbs back above the 100.00 level. As traders weigh various factors and assess the overall market sentiment, their decision-making regarding short positions on the dollar will be influenced by upcoming events, central bank communications, and any new developments that may impact the US currency. While data may be limited this week, market participants will analyze these elements to form their strategies and position themselves accordingly in the FX markets.

Evidence For Super Bubble Theory SPY/Nikkei 225 Index 20231. I see record amounts of shorts opening still open, call selling, put purchasing speculators are shorter than 2000 / 2008 / 2020 combined. FRED raises rates to this level and yet nothing budges on a large scale so what's going on? 2. Take a look at the Japan Nikkei 225 Super Bubble during 1980s - 1990s, I use a (MA 23) on the Nikkei and double it (MA 46) for the SPY as that represents a similar trend forming. 3. Next take a look at the RSI for both charts when the bubble exploded in Japan the RSI completely reset to baseline. SPY RSI did not reset during the last selling period. 4. Further take a look at the aggressive angle drop of the Nikkei 225, when the show was over it was not a sideways moving bump it was straight down vertically. 5. Could it be the dead cat bounce? negative take a look at the Nikkei dead cat bounce a sharp minimal rise followed by another vertical fall, the current "bounce" is nearing all time highs and going sideways not straight up that would indicate "puts" "shorts" covering. 6. If this is a super bubble we should see short covering and capitulation to the upside over the next months and the market will grind vertically up suckering everybody back into the markets. 7. If I'm correct and this is a Left shoulder forming of a bigger head and shoulders that would put the SPY near 600-800. So the counter speculative bet would be to be long here till the SPY reaches that maximum velocity vertical move with a peaking RSI, this would be betting against the entire market being short, followed by once the market starts to get bullish and calls are bought and longs are open and the "Super Bubble" narrative is not a crazy term but the normal term, its time to reverse go short and sell everything. I follow Michael Burry as an interesting person who called a similar scenario from a book and I'm starting to wonder was he early again a few years of the peak

Daily Market Analysis - MONDAY JULY 17, 2023Daily Market Analysis - MONDAY JULY 17, 2023 Key events: China - Industrial Production (YoY) (Jun) Eurozone - ECB President Lagarde Speaks Eurozone - ECB's Lane Speaks USA - NY Empire State Manufacturing Index (Jul) Friday witnessed a modest dip in US stocks, yet investor optimism prevailed amidst signs suggesting a prolonged era of disinflation. With contemplation on interest rates, market performance, and Federal Reserve decisions, the prevailing sentiment remained buoyant. NASDAQ Indices daily chart S&P500 Indices daily chart Dow Jones Indices daily chart Market sentiment reflects a growing confidence in the potential for a smooth economic landing. Yields have witnessed a notable decline, particularly towards the week's end, driven by factors widely regarded as favorable. Investors are recalibrating their expectations by removing inflation premiums, rather than assuming imminent rate cuts by the Federal Reserve as a response to inflationary pressures. The unexpected decrease in US CPI has triggered market reactions, resulting in a narrowing of US-EU front-end rate spreads and a deepening inversion in US front-end rates. However, with the alleviation provided by the inflation drop and indications of progress towards a gentle economic landing, the Federal Reserve is likely to maintain its current stance and refrain from significant rate adjustments for the next 12 months. Consequently, the US Dollar is not expected to undergo a substantial depreciation. US Dollar Currency Index In terms of the rates outlook, there is limited divergence observed within a significant portion of the broad Dollar index. Many policymakers in emerging markets (EM) are already taking action in response to the lower inflation environment. The Eurozone is anticipated to follow suit, aligning its rate adjustments accordingly. While US rates were predominantly influenced by domestic factors, there were indications towards the end of the week that Eurozone rates were starting to respond. This suggests that developments in the US economy and relief from inflation are beginning to influence global rate trends, including those in the Eurozone. The upcoming second-quarter earnings season is set to commence, with Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) being the first among the prominent growth and technology companies that have been the driving force behind the US stock market's performance this year. Tesla's earnings report is scheduled for Wednesday. Tesla stock daily chart Tesla is a prominent member of the "Magnificent Seven," a group of colossal stocks that includes Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META). These companies have experienced remarkable share price surges ranging from 40% to over 200% this year, playing a significant role in driving the overall rally of the S&P 500. While the market rally appears to be extending to other sectors, it's crucial to acknowledge that these substantial gains have been accompanied by high earnings expectations. Failure to meet these expectations by Tesla or any of the other megacap companies during this quarter's earnings reports could have a severe impact on equity indices. In addition to Tesla's earnings report, several other major companies are scheduled to disclose their results in the upcoming week. The banking sector's earnings season continues, with Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) announcing its results on Tuesday and Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) on Wednesday. Tuesday will also see the release of US retail sales data for June, with an anticipated 0.5% increase attributed to a recovery in auto sales and higher gasoline station sales. This indicates that consumer demand remains resilient despite certain challenges. Investors will also closely monitor reports on regional manufacturing activity, which is expected to remain sluggish. Furthermore, the weekly data on initial jobless claims will provide insights into the current state of the job market. US Retail Sales Wednesday will see the release of the UK's June inflation data, a significant factor that will impact the potential magnitude of the Bank of England's next interest rate increase. It is expected that the headline consumer price index will moderate to 8.2% year-over-year, down from May's 8.7%. This easing is mainly attributed to a decrease in food and fuel prices. While core inflation is anticipated to show a slight decline, the services component is expected to remain stable at a post-COVID high of 7.4%. GBP/USD daily chart In the minutes of the June meeting, the Bank of England emphasized the potential need for further tightening if the economy demonstrated sustained inflationary pressures, particularly in the services consumer price index (CPI). Consequently, the upcoming August meeting of the Bank of England is expected to be closely contested. Should there be an increase in the services CPI, it would likely strengthen expectations for another 50-basis point rate hike. Conversely, a lower reading would likely shift the balance towards a more modest 25-basis point increase. The inflation data will hold substantial sway in shaping the central bank's decision regarding future adjustments to interest rates.

Bubbles don't finish unwinding sideways, it needs to be vertical There's two major problems when looking at the SPY today One - USM2 debasement is a real metric changer Two - The QE from 2021 has backfired Things are going terribly wrong for the FRED they know Japan tried forms of QE prior to the 1989 melt up that led to the demise of the entire Japanese economy for decades. In 2019 its was an emergency and if QE did not launch the GFC 2.0 would have happen during the credit freeze. The FRED are now trying to taper this path changing direction to not cause a Japan style melt up. 219% was the first warning sign Japan lost control and rates stopped working 205% is your warning sign the FRED lost control and the rates have once again stopped working. Both scenarios there was too much leverage for a safe landing forcing the BoJ and the FRED to lower rates near Zero. FRED's idea lets raise rates faster and higher than BoJ did to pre strike a market melt up. Warning Warning Warning FRED your rates are not working and if the SPY takes out the previous high its going to ignite the final wave of the bubble. ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- If this does playout the warning sign will be a parabolic almost vertical move to the upside once that happens you have about 2 years to avoid the vertical drop. Why is this happening if its so clear? simple the US government is in a debt deficit crisis the FRED is lying trying to send the economy to 0% inflation you cannot tax no inflation and the government system will halt, pretty soon the FRED will be forced into some form of yield curve control / QE to keep inflation elevated. Lessons from history YOU DONT PUSH THE QE BUTTON. YOU DO NOT PUSH THE YCC BUTTON. Once you do and your debt to GDP goes past 100% there's no going back without an eventual system meltdown.

DOW JONES getting closer to Resistance Zone for a technical sellIt's been a while since we looked into Dow Jones (DJI) and made the bottom buy on the Channel Up last Higher Low (chart below): Right now the index is rising after a rebound on a Double Bottom on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). The dominant pattern is a Channel Up and the secondary a Diverging Channel Up (dotted lines) that forms a Higher Highs rejection zone within Resistance 1 (34530) and its top. We will look for a sell on the next candle inside it (ideally with the 1D RSI on its Resistance Zone) and target the bottom of the Channel Up at 33650 near Support 1. If however the price breaks above Resistance 2 (34950) and the MACD maintains the Bullish Cross it is forming today, we will open a buy and target 33500 (just below Resistance 3). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Daily Market Analysis - THURSDAY JULY 13, 2023Key News: UK - GDP (MoM) (May) USA - Initial Jobless Claims USA - PPI (MoM) (Jun) Despite relinquishing some of its gains, the Dow Jones Industrial Average concluded Wednesday's trading session on a higher note. This positive finish was primarily attributed to a decline in Treasury yields and a surge in the tech sector, fueled by data indicating the slowest inflation increase in more than two years. The market sentiment has been uplifted by optimism that the forthcoming rate hike, scheduled for later this month, could potentially mark the conclusion of the tightening cycle. The Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a 0.25% climb, translating to a gain of 86 points. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq witnessed a robust increase of 1.2%, and the S&P 500 displayed a notable rise of 0.74%. DJI indices daily chart Nasdaq indices daily chart S&P500 indices daily chart In June, the consumer price index (CPI) registered a modest uptick, rising by 0.2% following a 0.1% increase in May. Additionally, the annual inflation rate eased from 4% to 3%, reaching its lowest point since March 2021. These figures suggest a reduced level of price pressures in the economy. While there remains an expectation that the Federal Reserve will proceed with a rate hike later this month, the outlook for additional rate increases beyond July becomes less certain. The uncertainty stems from the possibility of upcoming economic data revealing a continued deceleration in inflation. US Consumer Price Index (CPI) Jefferies, in a recent note, highlighted the importance of upcoming economic indicators in determining the trajectory of rate hikes. If indicators such as the Employment Cost Index on July 28, along with employment and inflation data released in August, continue to exhibit a slowdown similar to the recent Consumer Price Index data, it suggests that the rate hike scheduled for July could potentially mark the conclusion of the current cycle. In line with this sentiment, major technology companies, including Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: META), experienced a rebound following a recent downturn. This recovery was fueled by a significant decline in Treasury yields, driven by the expectation that the Federal Reserve's rate hikes are nearing their conclusion. GOOGL stocks daily chart MSFT stocks daily chart META stocks daily chart Microsoft's shares surged by over 1% as the tech behemoth made significant strides in the completion of its $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc (NASDAQ: ATVI), the renowned game developer responsible for the popular Call of Duty franchise. The acquisition received a boost as a Federal judge dismissed the Federal Trade Commission's request to delay the deal, citing insufficient evidence to support claims of potential competition harm. This favorable development played a crucial role in driving Microsoft's strong performance in the market. US Dollar Currency Index daily chart The sell-off of the US dollar gained momentum after the release of the CPI data, leading to a rapid approach towards the 100 level on the dollar index. This consistent and significant movement has positive implications for global inflation dynamics. A weaker US dollar tends to drive down energy and raw material prices, which are often denominated in US dollars. Consequently, lower prices for these commodities can help alleviate inflationary pressures on a global scale. In contrast, a strengthening US dollar contributes to inflationary pressures worldwide. Therefore, the depreciation of the US dollar can provide relief in the face of such pressures. EUR/USD daily chart In the currency markets, notable movements were observed. The EUR/USD pair experienced a surge, reaching the 1.1150 level, indicating a strengthening of the Euro against the US dollar. Similarly, the GBP/USD pair surpassed the significant 1.30 level, signaling a rise in the British pound against the US dollar. Conversely, the USD/JPY pair extended its decline, falling below the psychological level of 140, implying a weakening of the US dollar against the Japanese yen. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of the currency markets and the interplay between different currency pairs. USD/JPY daily chart The anticipated release of the Producer Price Index (PPI) figures for June today is expected to provide further insight into the global economy's disinflationary trend. Forecasts suggest a significant deceleration in the headline PPI, dropping from 1.1% in May to 0.4% in June. The core PPI is also projected to experience a more modest slowdown, declining from 2.8% to 2.6%. The weakening figures from the PPI may have implications for future Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, indicating a continued disinflationary environment. This reinforces the notion that the forthcoming rate hike in the United States will likely be the final one in the current cycle. In summary, the June PPI numbers are expected to confirm the prevailing disinflationary trend in the global economy. The projected slowdown in PPI figures suggests potential effects on future CPI data and supports the belief that the upcoming rate hike will be the last one.

Daily Market Analysis - WEDNESDAY JULY 12, 2023Greetings, traders! Welcome back to our daily Market Analysis. Today, we have gathered the top news and interesting fundamental analysis for your consideration. Let's dive in and stay informed! Key events: New Zealand - RBNZ Interest Rate Decision USA - Core CPI (MoM) (Jun) USA - CPI (YoY) (Jun) USA - CPI (MoM) (Jun) Canada - BoC Interest Rate Decision USA - Crude Oil Inventories The energy and large technology sectors were the primary contributors to Tuesday's gains in the stock market, while investors awaited the forthcoming inflation reports with bated breath. The rise in value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 317 points, or 0.9%, while the rise in value of the S&P 500 was 0.7% and the rise in value of the Nasdaq was 0.6%. DJI indice daily chart SPX500 indice daily chart As a result of an improved demand outlook, oil prices skyrocketed, which provided a boost to the energy sector. There is a growing expectation that the oil market will tighten in the second half of this year. This expectation is supported by falling crude production as well as Saudi Arabia's commitment to cutting output by one million barrels per day beginning in July. The sentiment surrounding energy stocks was further buoyed by reports of potential stimulus measures in China, which is the largest importer of energy in the world. The stock of 3M Company (NYSE: MMM), which was upgraded by Bank of America to Neutral from Underperform, increased by almost 5% as a result of the upgrade. It is anticipated that the manufacturer of industrial and consumer products will benefit from the conclusion of legal issues, which is anticipated to enhance the performance of the company. A settlement agreement was reached between 3M and the government last month to resolve allegations that the company contaminated public water systems with PFAS, which are also known as forever chemicals. MMM stock daily chart After receiving an upgrade from Hold to Buy from Jefferies, JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) led the banking sector higher just as earnings season was about to begin on Friday. As justifications for the upgrade, Jefferies pointed to the robustness of JPMorgan's balance sheet as well as the company's potential for earnings. Gains were also seen by regional banks, which have come under increased scrutiny ever since the banking crisis that began earlier this year. After Bank of America reaffirmed its recommendation to buy the company's stock, US Bancorp (NYSE: USB) saw its share price rise by more than 3.5%. US Bancorp is well-prepared to handle sector headwinds, according to Bank of America, and is expected to achieve superior earnings growth and stock performance, according to the statement. JPM stock daily chart Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), which benefited from its two-day prime day sales event, stood out as one of the few stocks in the technology sector that was trading in the positive territory. During this time, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) struggled to make gains, despite the growing optimism surrounding the impending acquisition of Activision by Microsoft for $69 billion. Activision is the company that makes the Call of Duty video game. The attempt by US regulators to temporarily block the deal due to antitrust concerns was rejected by a federal judge in a ruling earlier today. The forthcoming publication of US CPI (Consumer Price Index) data has become the sole focal point of attention for stock futures trading in both the United States and Europe. The majority of speculators are expected to be surprised by the US inflation data, which analysts strongly anticipate will exceed their expectations. AMAZON stock daily chart The change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the United States is expected to be 0.3% month-over-month (m/m), while the change in the CPI year-over-year (y/y), which is the most significant change, is expected to be 3.1%, compared to the previous reading of 4.0%. If the actual number comes close to or matches the forecasted 3.1%, it will be seen as positive news for the market because the inflation target set by the Federal Reserve is 2%. On the other hand, market participants are likely to rejoice if the reading falls below 3.1% because this indicates a significant shift in the trend of inflation. Nevertheless, it is essential to pay close attention to the trajectory that the reading of inflation will take in the future. Although the data that are released today will show a significant drop, which will be driven by tighter monetary policy, an economic slowdown, and lower oil prices, these factors will have less of an influence on the inflation number going forward. As a consequence of this, the gap between the Fed's target and the actual reading might not expand by an additional factor of two from its previous magnitude. GOLD daily chart It is anticipated that the price of gold will be volatile throughout the course of the day. Even though the support level at $1,900 is strong, it may be put to a significant test if the inflation data continues to show no signs of easing. Gold prices would be supported by a sizeable decline in the reading of inflation, which could potentially lead to an attempt to test the $1,950 level. On the other hand, if the reading indicates that inflationary pressures will continue for some time, the price of gold may go up even further. As a result, there is a greater chance that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates, potentially on more than one occasion.

MACRO UPDATE - History is no longer reality since debasement Take some time to focus on the information and macro movement here and compare it with my notes. Why are leading economists and leading institutions fumbling? imagine comparing history prior to 2008 where Quantitative Easing did not exist. No standard macro indicator will be accurate due to the debasement of money that happen during the GFC, compare the SPY to money supply we see that we barely have reached post 2001 levels, 2007 highs. Jerome Powell will not admit this because the system has basically been debased hence the over compensation for rate rises why did he do it? because the debt situation is worse than it seems. This is a very unique situation where retail is still majority short on options/futures while money market funds are still in trillions of cash. If this does play out and you're an institution do you wait for the final bubble to melt up? or do you allocate now and try to capitalize or risk missing the market, either way, something interesting is about to happen. Reminder NO economic indicator can be trusted prior to 2008, its like using map plans for Atlantis you will quickly find out all your indicators are defected.

Daily Market Analysis - FRIDAY JULY 07, 2023Key News: USA - Average Hourly Earnings (MoM) (Jun) USA - Nonfarm Payrolls (Jun) USA - Unemployment Rate (Jun) During Thursday's trading session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded a decline as robust job market data sparked expectations of further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. This development subsequently led to a surge in Treasury yields, which raised concerns among market participants. The Dow Jones Industrial Average experienced a notable decrease of 1.1%, resulting in a loss of 366 points. Similarly, the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 also faced declines of 0.8% and 0.8% respectively. NASDAQ, SPX, and DJI indices daily charts Amidst the broader market decline, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) bucked the trend and achieved a gain of nearly 1% driven by optimism surrounding its advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Morgan Stanley, a prominent financial institution, expressed confidence in Microsoft's position within the software industry, particularly in relation to the projected $90 billion growth opportunity in generative AI by fiscal 2025. In light of this positive outlook, Morgan Stanley increased its price target on Microsoft from $355 to $415, indicating a favorable investment potential for the company. Microsoft stock daily chart Despite the launch of its Twitter competitor app called Threads and the announcement by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg that it had garnered over 30 million sign-ups since its recent introduction, Meta (formerly known as Facebook) faced a reversal of its early-day gains. The company's stock failed to maintain its upward momentum, and the gains dissipated as the trading session progressed. The market response to Threads and Meta's overall performance suggests that investors and traders may have reacted differently to the news, leading to the subsequent decline in the stock price. Meta Platforms stock daily chart In the Eurozone, inflation expectations for the medium term experienced a decrease in May. The gauge measuring the 12-month expectation dipped from 4.1% to 3.9%. Despite this decline, the long-term (three-year) inflation expectations, which hold greater significance for the European Central Bank (ECB), remained unchanged at 2.5%. This level is notably higher than the ECB's target inflation rate of 2%. The latest flash core Consumer Price Index (CPI) estimates for June further strengthen the argument for proponents of tighter monetary policies within the ECB. These estimates provide substantial justification for those who advocate for a more stringent approach to monetary policy, given that inflationary pressures persist in the Eurozone. The ECB, as the central bank responsible for maintaining price stability, closely monitors inflation expectations and aims to keep them in line with its target. The fact that long-term inflation expectations remain above the ECB's target suggests that there may be a need for increased vigilance and potential policy adjustments to curb inflationary pressures. The divergence between medium-term and long-term inflation expectations underscores the complexity of managing inflationary dynamics in the Eurozone. The ECB will need to carefully assess economic data, including CPI estimates, to make informed decisions regarding monetary policy and strike a balance between supporting economic growth and maintaining price stability. EUR/USD daily chart Today, the economic calendar in the Eurozone is relatively light, implying that the movement of the EUR/USD exchange rate will primarily be influenced by the market's reaction to data releases from the United States. The market's response to US data is of particular significance, as it has a notable impact on shaping the direction of the EUR/USD exchange rate. Positive data releases from the US could strengthen the US Dollar and potentially lead to a decline in the EUR/USD pair, while weaker-than-expected data could exert downward pressure on the US Dollar, potentially favoring an upward movement in the EUR/USD pair. Additionally, the market remains highly sensitive to price-related developments. In this context, there is ongoing concern regarding the Bank of England's aggressive tightening expectations. Speculation suggests that the BoE could implement a significant 140 basis point increase in interest rates by January 2024. This projection, if realized, raises the possibility of a reassessment in the market. If investors revise their expectations and perceive the tightening as too aggressive or potentially detrimental to economic growth, it could pose downside risks for the British Pound. Consequently, the GBP/USD exchange rate could experience downward pressure. GBP/USD daily chart The EUR/GBP pair has witnessed a decline over the past two sessions; however, it may find support at its current levels and potentially make a move towards the 0.8600 mark once again. This shift in the pair's direction could be driven by the potential threat of a repricing of the previously overbought British Pound, influenced by the actions of the Bank of England. The recent weakening of the EUR/GBP pair suggests that the Pound has gained strength against the Euro. However, the current levels may act as a support zone, potentially leading to a reversal in the pair's direction. If the support holds, it could provide an opportunity for the EUR/GBP pair to regain some ground and move towards the 0.8600 level. The potential repricing of the Pound is a significant factor that could influence the pair's movement. If market participants perceive that the British Pound had become overbought or overvalued in relation to its fundamentals, they may adjust their positions accordingly, leading to a corrective move in the currency. This adjustment could contribute to a potential reversal in the EUR/GBP pair, benefiting the Euro and causing the pair to move higher towards the 0.8600 mark. EUR/GBP daily chart Yesterday's market sell-off was primarily triggered by the release of the minutes from the Federal Reserve, which revealed a greater inclination for further tightening of monetary policy than previously anticipated. This direction gained further momentum with the release of strong employment-related data, namely the ADP payrolls and ISM services reports, which indicated that the US labor market remains robust and is expected to continue performing well. The ADP payrolls report for June showcased an impressive addition of 497,000 new jobs. However, it is important to note that a significant portion of these positions were in lower-paid service roles, which could have implications for wage growth and overall economic recovery. In addition to the employment data, the prices paid component of the ISM services report indicated a slowdown, reaching its lowest level in three years. This decline in price pressures suggests that inflationary pressures might be easing, potentially influencing the Federal Reserve's decision-making process regarding future monetary policy actions. The combination of the Federal Reserve minutes highlighting a stronger inclination for tightening, along with positive employment data and easing price pressures, contributed to the market sell-off observed. Investors and traders reacted to these factors, reassessing their positions and adjusting their expectations accordingly. US Employment Change The resilience of the labor market presents a challenge for the Federal Reserve in its pursuit of achieving its target inflation rate. Despite the possibility of a potential decrease in headline Consumer Price Index (CPI) to 3% in June, the task of returning inflation to the desired level becomes increasingly difficult. Today's release of the US nonfarm payrolls report for June has the potential to further reinforce optimism about the US economy. A strong jobs report would provide evidence of a robust labor market, indicating economic strength and potential future growth. However, there is also a concern that such a positive report could lead the Federal Reserve to overestimate the economy's resilience and prompt them to raise interest rates more aggressively than necessary. The market has already priced in these expectations, as reflected by the recent rise in yields. The anticipation of a stronger economy and the possibility of more aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have contributed to an increase in yields. This pricing-in of expectations suggests that there is a level of caution in the market regarding the potential actions of the central bank and the impact they may have on various sectors. Balancing the need to support the labor market with the goal of achieving the desired inflation rate remains a challenge for the Federal Reserve. The nonfarm payrolls report for June will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers alike, as it has the potential to shape future monetary policy decisions and market expectations. As always, it is important to monitor economic data releases, central bank statements, and market sentiment to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape and make informed decisions regarding investments and trading strategies.

DOW JONES: pulling back to the 1D MA50 again.Dow Jones has had a technical HH rejection at the top of the dotted Channel Up and just as quickly, the price is approaching the 1D MA50, which offered support on the June 26th rebound. The 1D technicals are neutral (RSI = 48.089, MACD = 156.460, ADX = 28.256) indicating that the 1D MA50 is now the pivot level: as long as it holds, expect the price to bounce on it again, so we will buy and target the R2 (TP = 34,95) but if it closes a 1D candle under it, sell and target the bottom of the dotted Channel Up (TP = 33.000). The strongest buy opportunity on a four month basis is when the RSI hits its HL trendline. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##
