ITALY

Juventus: Bearish trendToday I have a quite unusual stock. Instead of watching Italian football, why not watching some Italian stocks. First of all we can see a bearish trend to the resistence line (1.1185). However, at this point it could reverse. Points to consider: - There is not high volume fluctuations (price will not increase/decrease drastically) - Price quite below EMA 8 so the bearish trend will continue (also was proved with EMA 12 and the result was the same). - RSI (important): it is trading at a very low value (30 approximately) so it could speed the decreasing trend up.

Forex Markets Wobble on Italy CrisisThe forex markets waggled after Italy Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini called for a snap election. Salvini urged the prime minister to reconvene parliament to back his claim that the coalition government is no longer solid. The EURUSD pair clocked in some losses after the news broke out. Additionally, stocks and bond markets in the EU zone reacted more furiously. Traders sold off Italian assets swiftly. Italy’s political tensions resulted to wider yield spread between German and Italian bonds. This isn’t welcome news for the common currency, which has already been suffering pressure. Meanwhile, traders are also becoming increasingly dovish. They are betting that the European Central Bank could implement a more aggressive September rate cut, increasing dovish expectations. As of writing, there is a 27% probability of a 20-basis-point cut in ECB’s deposit facility rate. That’s way higher than the previous 12% probability. Snap Elections, Forex Markets to Recover? Salvini’s call for snap election is quite obviously a move to solidify his power. He heads the right-wing popular Lega party. According to Salvini, the failure of the Five Star Movement’s attempt to derail plans for a high-speed rail link was evidence the coalition couldn’t govern. He said Italian needed “certainty,” with a government that “does things, not a ‘Mr. No.’” Salvini is enjoying massive support from opinion polls, being a populist and mainly because of his stance against illegal immigration. The forex markets will probably get over the fiasco speedily, with the euro likely getting back some of its losses. The euro zone also absorbed the French industrial production data for June. The data could be consistent with the dismal pattern in Germany. The dollar index that gauges the buck’s strength against the other currencies barely moved. US President Donald Trump once again lashed out on Twitter against the Federal Reserve. However, it didn’t have much effect on the markets, which recovered quite easily and with barely an inconvenience.

FTSE MIB - Looking to Short on Pullbacks!Italian markets came under strong pressure yesterday as Bloomberg ran a story that the EUCommission June 5th will consider a disciplinary procedure over Italy’s failure to rein in debt. An Excessive deficit Procedure is a lengthy process, but if the story is true, the standoff between Italy and the EU that we had expected in the autumn could start much earlier. We remain with a negative bias on FTSEMIB and BTPs. Sell short-term pullbacks today.

What is behind the dollar growth? Forex Market Trading PlanYesterday's dollar growth took many by surprise on the foreign exchange market. The dollar index has reached its maximum in the last couple of years. Let's try to understand the reasons for this growth, as well as reflect on the near future of the US currency and trading tactics. There were several suggested explanations for the growth of the dollar by leading analysts and traders. One of them - the rise in prices on the oil market will trigger an increase in inflationary pressure in the United States. In turn, the unwinding of the inflation spiral will force the Fed to reconsider its current position in relation to rates. The process of raising them will be removed from the pause and the Central Bank will continue to increase the rate. Another reason for the dollar growth, voiced by analysts, was the expectation of good statistics on US GDP for the first quarter and the current strengthening of the US currency - an attempt to discount for good data. As we see, both explanations are outside the plane of facts and, in fact, are trading on expectations and rumors. That is, the markets routinely “buy” rumors, so than to sell the facts. In this regard, we are extremely skeptical about the prospects for further growth of the dollar in the foreign exchange market. At least, till growth begins to be based on facts. For example, will excellent data on US GDP will actually come out? Or the Fed will make some real statements and actual actions? So far this week, data on sales of new homes in the United States (reached the maximum for the last year and a half marks: + 4.5% with a forecast of -2.7%). Note that the dollar growth has also contributed to the weakness of its main competitors. The euro was declining due to problems with Italy (rating agencies may downgrade Italy), the pound was traditionally “upset” because of the lack of progress in Brexit (according to rumors, Theresa May is serious about voting on the Brexit bill again, on the next week, considering that nothing radical it was not included in it, the chances for another failure are very high), the Swiss franc and gold were falling because of the general growth of investors' “appetite” to risk, and their exit from safe-haven assets.Thus, our position on the dollar remains unchanged - we will continue to look for points for its sales in the foreign exchange market. And we will do this in double volumes with obligatory and rather rigid stops. However, the size of potential profits justifies such a risk. In relation to the news, the following day is interesting because of the meeting results of the Bank of Canada. The Central Bank is likely to leave the parameters of monetary policy unchanged. But the recent rise in oil prices has definitely played into the hands of the Canadian dollar. So, we recommend watching USDCAD- current quotes look exceptionally attractive for its sales. Our trading plan for today is USDCAD sale from 1.3450 with stops above 1.3520 and profits around 1.33. Despite the fact that we are going against the current “will” of the market, today we will continue to look for points for selling the dollar against the euro, the pound and especially the Canadian dollar. We will wait for a little with buying of gold, but we will look for points for buying oil on the intraday basis.

The trend is strongly bullish on italyThe trend is strongly bullish for the Italian index. This from the first days of January to this days. After the collapse of May (from the highs) it has reached the support area setted at around 18000 points. The price in these 4 months has recovered most of the descent, returning below the key static resistance in area around 22300 points and identified by 23.6% of the Fibonacci retracement. This level, if broken on the upside, will pave the way for the MIB40. It will once again reach the highs reached a year ago. With this expansive monetary policy on the side of the ECB, which will continue to keep rates at historic lows (almost certainly returning to inject money in the Eurozone from September) the markets will be reassured and investors will hold and increase positions on European equities. The market expects an important reversal of the main world indices after the rally of the last sessions. In the specific case of the Italian index, on reaching the price of 22300 points it is very likely that could retraces. At least up to the support identified by the EMA20 daily and passing through around 21500 points. The maximum extension that could touch the key support placed at 20900 points.For a few sessions this uptrend should not stop. On reaching 22300 points, we will open a short position and keep it in the portfolio for a very short/short period.

In the short term there is a retracement even by Italian indexIn line with other major global index, in the short term there is a retracement even by Italian index. The price reached the resistance area between 21450 and 21550 points. A break on the upside would have led to a continuation of this uptrend up to the next resistance zone located between 21700 and 21900 points. A rejected, ( because as we said "In the short term there is a retracement even by Italian index" ) seems to be happening, should bring the price to retest the key level of support identified by the EMA 200 periods and passing about 20500 points. European Macros  The fundamental scenario remains strongly uncertain for the Eurozone. Especially after the last ECB meeting in which Draghi stated that it is not only possible to change monetary policy due to slow growth. It is necessary to restore a low-cost liquidity injection to stimulate the economy by the end of 2019. Fed Effects  The uncertainty of the Fed is added to the ECB. In fact the Fed would seem to have decided to not raise interest rates. At least throughout this year, if not also the next. Due to a possible market destabilization with a restrictive monetary policy. In any case, even this choice has left uncertainty among investors who in the short term could liquidate long positions favoring a reversal of world indices.

FTSEMIB: uncertain directionVery short term In line with the other world indices, this upward trend driven by the resumption of American prices will tend to continue. The level to which it will aim in the very short term is the dynamic resistance identified by the weekly EMA200 at an altitude of 20450 points: from here it will be understood whether it will have the strength to continue towards 20900 points breaking it and confirming the upside break, or if it will be rejected by taking over of the main trend. Short and mid term From a technical point of view in the short/medium term, the Italian index is still bearish. The trend is confirmed even from a fundamental study: the unstable political-economic situation of our country and the growth forecasts for 2019 ( near the flat level ), with the general European situation also in the balance, it is very probable that soon we will assist to a new drop in prices and in particular on the FTSE MIB that will return to bet 18000 points.

USDCHF Brexit and ItalySNB have cited multiple times, that they are not afraid of intervening their currency. According to SNB, the CHF is highly valued and there could be something about the talk. But With brexit around the corner + italy budget crises, CHF could be lifted even more. on top of that, some German banks cited that Germany have higher risk of entering a recession. I am betting against a brexit deal, and we could see that brexit will be delayed. + italy not accepting the budget adjustments by the EU and the EU not accepting the italian budget. On the flip side.. There could be some agreements regarding the Italy budget from both sides and Uk´s brexit. which could expose CHF to the downside + SNB intervening at the same time. adding shorts at 1.01516 target around 0.97900
