Fundamental Analysis

USD/JPY:Bank of Japan's Steady Rates and U.S. GDP Data to Shape The Bank of Japan (BoJ) concluded its two-day monetary policy meeting on Thursday by keeping its short-term interest rate target steady at 0.25%. This decision, while in line with market expectations, sets the stage for potential market volatility, as other global economic indicators could weigh heavily on USD/JPY movement in the coming days. From a technical perspective, price action analysis reveals a notable reversal candle on the daily timeframe, aligning with a pre-identified supply area. This reversal is further supported by the Commitment of Traders (COT) report, which indicates that retail traders are largely bullish, while “smart money” or institutional investors appear to be shifting their positions to the bearish side. Seasonal patterns also suggest a possible start of a new bearish trend, adding weight to the likelihood of downward movement. In addition, today’s U.S. Advance GDP data could amplify movements if it underperforms expectations, adding pressure on the USD and further supporting a bearish outlook for the USD/JPY pair. A disappointing GDP print could, therefore, accelerate a drop in the USD, setting up the pair for a potential shift in trend. Traders and analysts alike will be closely monitoring these developments, as Japan’s steady rates, combined with potential U.S. economic softness, set the tone for potential volatility in the days ahead. ✅ Please share your thoughts about USD/JPY in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

EUR/USD: Euro Gains Amid German Growth, Weak US GDPOn Wednesday, the Euro extended its rally, driven by positive economic data from Germany and the dampening effect of a weaker-than-expected US GDP figure. Germany’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) recorded a modest 0.2% growth, indicating resilience in Europe’s largest economy. Furthermore, annual inflation in Germany, measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), showed a significant rise, moving up to 2% in October’s preliminary estimate from 1.6% in September. This uptick in inflation adds to the bullish sentiment surrounding the Euro, as it hints at economic stability and a possible need for continued monetary tightening in the Eurozone. From a technical analysis perspective, the Euro remains in a profitable position from our identified demand area, where a reversal pattern was noted. The DXY (US Dollar Index) continues to retrace, suggesting potential weakening of the USD, while the COT (Commitments of Traders) report further supports our bullish Euro outlook. Given the ongoing trend, a negative reading in today’s US Unemployment Claims report could provide additional momentum for the Euro’s upward trajectory, potentially solidifying the current trend in favor of the Euro. ✅ Please share your thoughts about EUR/USD in the comments section below and HIT LIKE if you appreciate my analysis.

GOLD → The calm before the storm. News ahead... FX:XAUUSD is at a strong resistance of 2790. Traders are getting nervous before the news. Risks as well as the price are rising. PCE, Initial Jobless Claims, Chicago PMI are ahead. Traders have taken a wait-and-see stance ahead of the news. PCE along with NFP on Friday should give an insight into the Fed's interest rate outlook. Against the backdrop of a steady US labor market, a 0.25% cut is the most likely scenario. The metal is holding back any fall that could be seen as a correction due to election uncertainty. There is not much time left. As well as news from China and the escalated conflict in the Middle East. Technically gold is in a range, the chart indicates stronger levels and liquidity zones. The most probable scenario is a retest of one of the support zones and further growth after liquidity capture. Targets in such a case could be 2789-2800. Support levels: 2771, 2758, 2745 Resistance levels: 2789, 2800 It is not excluded that there may be a strong shakeout on the background of the news. Market behavior at the moment will depend on the actual data. The reaction may be extremely aggressive. Rate, share your opinion and questions, let's discuss what's going on with ★ FX:XAUUSD ;) Regards R. Linda!

U.S. Demand and Uncertainty Drive Oil VolatilityThe oil market continues to show strong oscillations, influenced by geopolitical factors and fluctuations in global demand. Recently, oil prices rose on the back of a surprise drop in U.S. crude and gasoline inventories, suggesting stronger-than-expected demand for the fuel. In early Asian trading, Brent (Ticker AT: BRENT) was up 0.65% at USD 73.02 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (Ticker AT: LCRUDE) was up 0.63% at USD 69.04 per barrel. These increases reflect the positive impact of US demand and reduced crude imports, extending a momentum that drove both contracts up by more than 2% on Wednesday. At the start of the European session, the market did not correct this rise, but some downward pressure is perceptible. Technical indicators show a strong trading zone around USD 72.30 for Brent and USD 68.55 for WTI, with the RSI balanced at 50%, suggesting that the market could consolidate in this zone as support before a possible rise towards the end of the week. Geopolitical and Oversupply Effect Since Iran's attack on Israel on October 1, crude oil prices have experienced remarkable volatility. In October, Brent went as high as almost 10% in just four days, reaching USD 80 before retreating following an Israeli bombing in Iran on October 26. This led to a significant drop in prices on Monday 28, where Brent fell by more than 4% to USD 71.42, while WTI lost more than 5% to USD 67.38. This situation takes place in a context of oversupply, where gasoline inventories in the US (Ticker AT: GASOLZ2024) have fallen to two-year lows. Against a backdrop of low global demand, both the International Energy Agency (IEA) and OPEC have revised their demand forecasts for this year, mainly due to the economic slowdown in China. Despite the stimulus in the Chinese economy, demand remains weak, affecting crude oil consumption projections. Short and Medium-Term Outlook The market is also watching the possibility of OPEC+ postponing a 180,000 barrels per day production increase planned for December in order to stabilize prices. In parallel, the upcoming U.S. presidential election and expectations of further stimulus in China could influence oil demand in the short term, the projection of its movement a price range for oil between USD 70 and USD 85 in the medium term. This scenario reflects the complexities of the current market, where supply, demand and geopolitical events will continue to drive fluctuations in crude oil prices.

USDJPY Daily Forecast: Slight Bearish Bias Amid Fundamental FactUSDJPY Daily Forecast: Slight Bearish Bias Amid Fundamental Factors (31/10/2024) Introduction In today's trading session on October 31, 2024, USDJPY appears to carry a slightly bearish bias due to various fundamental drivers impacting both the US Dollar (USD) and the Japanese Yen (JPY). This article provides a detailed analysis of USDJPY, focusing on the major economic and geopolitical factors contributing to the bearish outlook. By considering both macroeconomic trends and the latest technical indicators, traders can better navigate potential setups for the USDJPY pair. Key Fundamental Drivers Impacting USDJPY Today 1. Federal Reserve’s Dovish Policy Outlook - The Federal Reserve has recently hinted at maintaining a dovish stance, signaling a potential pause on interest rate hikes. This policy outlook is generally bearish for the USD, as lower interest rates reduce the Dollar’s appeal to investors seeking yield. As a result, the USD could experience downward pressure against the Japanese Yen, contributing to a slight bearish bias for USDJPY. 2. Bank of Japan's Commitment to Policy Adjustments - The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has gradually shown signs of flexibility in its yield curve control policy, which could strengthen the Yen. Any indication of a potential shift away from ultra-loose monetary policy is generally supportive for JPY, as it attracts investors looking for stability in an uncertain global environment. This shift increases the possibility of a bearish trend in USDJPY. 3. US Treasury Yields and Safe-Haven Demand - The recent volatility in US Treasury yields has led to fluctuating demand for USD-denominated assets. Lower yields often make the Dollar less attractive, especially in comparison to the Yen, which is considered a traditional safe haven. With a potential decline in yields, demand for USD could weaken, encouraging investors to turn toward JPY and reinforcing the slight bearish outlook for USDJPY. 4. Global Economic Uncertainty and Risk Sentiment - The recent geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties have led to higher risk aversion in the markets. In times of heightened uncertainty, the Yen benefits as a safe-haven currency. This risk-off sentiment may draw investors to JPY, increasing its strength against USD and creating bearish pressure on the USDJPY pair. 5. Japanese Economic Data - Stronger-than-expected Japanese economic data, including stable GDP growth and improved manufacturing output, have added positive momentum to the Yen. These indicators reflect Japan’s gradual recovery, making the Yen more attractive and adding pressure on USDJPY from the Japanese side. Technical Analysis of USDJPY (31/10/2024) From a technical perspective, USDJPY trades below its 50-day moving average, a signal commonly associated with bearish trends. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also hovers near the 40 level, suggesting potential downside momentum. Key support levels around 147.50 and resistance near 150.00 should be monitored. Key Support: 147.50 Key Resistance: 150.00 Conclusion: USDJPY Outlook for 31/10/2024 Given today’s fundamentals and technical conditions, USDJPY exhibits a slightly bearish bias. Factors such as the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance, the BOJ’s gradual policy adjustments, and risk aversion in global markets are all contributing to the current outlook. However, traders should remain attentive to any unexpected shifts in global economic data or central bank announcements. For those watching the USDJPY today, focusing on these fundamental drivers and key support levels can provide valuable insights for trading the pair amid a slightly bearish sentiment.

NZDUSD Daily Outlook: Slight Bullish Bias Amid Today !!NZDUSD Daily Outlook: Slight Bullish Bias Amid Current Market Conditions (31/10/2024) Introduction As we delve into today’s trading session, the NZDUSD pair shows signs of a slightly bullish bias due to a combination of fundamental drivers and current market conditions. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the NZDUSD's outlook on October 31, 2024, shedding light on the key factors impacting the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) and the US Dollar (USD) in today’s trading environment. With the right blend of technical and fundamental insights, we aim to offer valuable insights for traders considering NZDUSD positions. Key Fundamental Drivers Impacting NZDUSD Today 1. China's Economic Growth and Its Influence on NZD - The New Zealand Dollar, a commodity-linked currency, closely correlates with China's economic health due to New Zealand's export reliance. Recent reports suggest a moderate recovery in China's industrial and manufacturing data, which bodes well for NZD. Increased demand for New Zealand exports, especially dairy, bolsters the Kiwi's outlook, creating an overall positive sentiment for NZDUSD. 2. Federal Reserve’s Dovish Stance - A significant driver for NZDUSD is the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance, with expectations for a pause on future rate hikes. This has resulted in a softer USD as investors anticipate fewer rate hikes going forward. A dovish Fed policy tends to weaken the USD, increasing the attractiveness of the NZD and slightly tilting NZDUSD towards bullishness. 3. New Zealand's Stable Economic Indicators - New Zealand’s recent economic data reveals consistent GDP growth, low unemployment rates, and a robust labor market. This stability has created an optimistic environment for the New Zealand Dollar. Additionally, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has maintained a steady rate outlook, supporting the Kiwi by keeping investors interested in NZD assets due to positive yields. 4. US Treasury Yield Fluctuations and Its Impact on USD - The ongoing fluctuations in US Treasury yields have contributed to the USD's recent mixed performance. A decline in yields typically makes the USD less attractive, as lower yields reduce the appeal for foreign investors. As a result, NZDUSD may benefit from a weaker USD, supporting a bullish bias in today’s trading. 5. Market Sentiment and Risk Appetite - Recent geopolitical tensions and global market fluctuations have impacted the broader market sentiment. The Kiwi typically gains when there is a higher risk appetite among investors. As volatility stabilizes, we may see increased demand for higher-yielding currencies, which could strengthen NZDUSD’s position, albeit moderately. Technical Analysis of NZDUSD (31/10/2024) Looking at today’s technical setup for NZDUSD, the pair trades above its 50-day moving average, a potential bullish indicator. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits near the 60 mark, indicating a neutral to slightly bullish sentiment. Support levels at 0.5850 and resistance near 0.5920 will be critical zones to monitor. Key Support: 0.5850 Key Resistance: 0.5920 Conclusion: NZDUSD Outlook for 31/10/2024 With today’s economic data and current sentiment, the NZDUSD pair leans towards a slightly bullish outlook. Strong economic fundamentals from New Zealand, coupled with a softer US Dollar from a dovish Federal Reserve stance, are influencing the pair's potential upward movement. However, traders should stay vigilant to potential changes in Treasury yields and any abrupt shifts in global risk sentiment. By focusing on today’s fundamental and technical drivers, NZDUSD traders can better gauge the market’s slight bullish bias.

Gold continues to increase in price due to many support factorsGold prices increased while the US economy showed signs of slowing down faster than expected. US GDP growth in the third quarter only reached 2.8%, lower than the 3% recorded in the previous quarter. The growth figure is lower than expected, making many people believe that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will consider accelerating the pace of interest rate reduction to further support the economy. The USD is likely to weaken. The cash flow could also ease the decline in the US vote market. Gold is a commodity that benefits when interest rates decrease. However, 2.8% is still considered a quite positive growth tool. The impact of this information on the USD is not much. Currently, gold is considered to be able to continue to increase and set new peaks, possibly reaching 2,800 USD/ounce when the US election has many unpredictable things. Tensions in the Middle East are still quite high, while Japan has recently fallen into a political crisis after the country's ruling coalition lost the majority of seats in parliament.

Gold futures last traded at 2,798.6 USD/ounce, up 17.5 USD compared to yesterday morning.

He emphasized that the weakness of the greenback is also supporting gold. According to OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong, the results of the US election have an impact on gold. He believes that, soon, spot gold will face resistance at $2,800/ounce, then $2,826/ounce. Currently, the US presidential election has entered a sprint race, with recent polls showing that the race for the White House is still very fierce. The gap between the two candidates, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, is extremely tight.

USDJPY: Will the NFP Halt the Dollar?The USD/JPY moves between sustained bullish momentum and possible technical corrections: the Bank of Japan’s decision to keep rates unchanged temporarily strengthened the Yen, pushing the pair below 153, but post-election political uncertainty limits any lasting appreciation of the Japanese currency. Conversely, the US dollar continues to benefit from a favorable economic backdrop, bolstered by a strong labor market and the potential for a gradual Fed approach in the future. Imminent economic data, such as consumer confidence and JOLTS job openings, could confirm the US recovery, further boosting Treasury yields and the dollar. From a technical perspective, the trend remains bullish, with key resistance levels at 153.90 and 155.10, while a correction toward supports at 151.95 and 149.50 might indicate a pause or reversal of the trend.

Fundamental Market Analysis for October 31, 2024 GBPUSDThe Pound-Dollar pair continued to decline to the 1.29550 level in the early Asian session on Thursday. The Pound Sterling (GBP) is declining following the UK budget announcement. Later on Thursday, attention will shift to US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index data. The UK's New Labour government released its first budget on Wednesday, which includes a GBP 40 billion tax hike to plug a hole in public finances and allow investment in public services, CNBC reported. One of the measures that is projected to bring the most revenue to the UK's coffers is an increase in the amount employers pay in National Insurance (NI), a payroll tax. US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the third quarter came in below expectations. ADP's October employment change report showed that private companies hired more people than expected. According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders estimate the probability of a 25bp Fed rate cut at the November meeting at nearly 95.2%. The release of US PCE inflation data on Thursday may provide some hints on the size and pace of a rate cut by the US Federal Reserve (Fed). Core PCE is expected to rise 0.2% m/m in September, while core PCE for the same period is expected to rise 0.3% m/m. The softer-than-expected result may raise hopes for deeper rate cuts and put pressure on the US dollar. Trading recommendation: Watch the level of 1.29500, if the level is fixed below we consider Sell positions, if the level rebounds we consider Buy positions.
