PPI

Hyperinflation China (CNY) + Japan (JPY) First to Go! Chinese real-estate has collapsed China refuses to update new unemployment metrics (like they've ever told the truth) China BOC keeps printing to backstop this (parabolic m3/m2) China forcing peoples money trapped in this death spiral Japan Real estate is also dead Japan stocks / Gasoline is going parabolic due to the start of hyperinflation not a booming economy Japan's BOJ also can't stop printing! what could go wrong? I've made post about this months ago with warning signs about Japan's stock market going parabolic without anything going on. This is text book Weimar Germany 1923, why the Chinese stocks going down though? simple the capital is trying everything to exit into US markets. The CCP has printed so much money and you know what people did with it? they sold it for US Dollars and used it overseas because nobody is buying the bs that China is a booming / powerful economy its completely collapsing you love to see it!. Japan? their currency is done. Both these countries have debt to GDP past the point of no return. Both these countries have PPI / CPI going parabolic past the point of no return. People have started to panic in China and it will follow in Japan followed by a complete meltdown, but the trick here is there's a chance this will not take out the US markets ironically. All of this capital will flow back into the USA. The final take away from this is the US markets see's strength not from "Real growth" but from countries where people have no option to diverse and enter the US market. "Forecasters recession this recession that" it never equals what the markets actually do.

Gold Outlook: Vulnerable Dollar and Promising Upside PotentialHey Traders, In tomorrow's upcoming trading session, our keen focus will be on XAUUSD, the trading pair of gold against the US dollar. We are closely monitoring this market for a potential buying opportunity within the price range of approximately 1940. From a technical standpoint, XAUUSD is currently engaged in an upward trend and undergoing a consolidation phase, gradually approaching the key level of support and resistance at 1940. Furthermore, it is important to consider the fundamental factors influencing this market. The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data indicated a softer performance, implying that future monetary policies are likely to adopt a more dovish stance. Additionally, the Producer Price Index (PPI) also displayed a similar softness. These factors combined have generated an increased appeal for gold and cryptocurrencies among investors. Given this context, the convergence of favorable technical indicators and supportive fundamental factors enhances the attractiveness of gold and cryptocurrencies as investment options. Thus, we anticipate a heightened interest from investors in exploring opportunities within the XAUUSD market, particularly around the 1940 zone.

The end of the tightening cycle is nighThe decline in the US inflation rate to more than a two-year low, marks a major step towards the end of the Fed’s historic monetary tightening cycle1. We believe key deflationary forces are in play – (1) weaker commodity prices (2) improvement in global supply chains (3) moderation in demand (4) lower inflation expectations. Therefore, the June decline in inflation is just the start of a series of decreases. Softer than expected inflation report As highlighted in the chart below, the details for June were also better than expected with key measures of underlying inflation coming in below forecasts. The inflation report suggests that some of the stickier components of inflation such as used cars and airline fares are also moderating. It’s important to note that most of the rise in the June CPI can be attributed to housing, however because of the way it is calculated it tends to lag current conditions. The S&P Case Shiller Home Price Index which tends to lead CPI shelter by roughly a year, is already flat which highlights US inflation is likely headed lower. Inflation for labour intensive services such as restaurants, recreation and personal care remained higher in June reflecting the pass -through of higher wages and robust services demand2. Potential further softening in the labour market could bring these categories back to target consistent levels. Softening in the labour market was evident in June’s employment report (nonfarm payrolls rose by 209k versus consensus 230k) which was weaker than expected for the first time in 15 months3. US Producer Prices confirmed a similar deflationary theme. The US Producer Price Index (PPI) inflation for June was softer than expected with headline and core PPI advancing 0.1% over the prior month4. Business surveys are also pointing to weakening pricing power, such as the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) services index which ties in with a lower inflation backdrop. US inflation can’t prevent the July rate hike While expectations for the July rate hike of 25Bps remain firmly in place, the market has scaled back expectations for a second hike – with 21bps / 3bps / 3bps of hikes priced for the July / September / November FOMC meetings5. The disinflation trend increases our belief that the Fed is close to, or will be, at the end of the current rate hike cycle. Earnings take centre stage for the next leg of the rally The key question now remains whether the market continues to trade off expectations of an easing narrative. Central bank policy has been the biggest drag for equities last year. The timing of the easing narrative comes at the heels of a volatile Q2 2023 earnings season. The S&P 500 Index earnings in the Q2 2023 are expected to decline 6.8% y/y, worse than the decline of 3.9% in the Q1 20233. This would be the largest earnings decline since the pandemic-fuelled 31.6% y/y decline in the Q2 2020. Earnings will be the key deciding factor for an extension in the current rally. Investors will be keen to hear from management whether they are looking to adopt a leaner cost structure and ways they are looking to remove excess capacity. Investors will be looking for guidance on productivity and efficiency gains rather than the financial engineering we have witnessed over the past decade.

✏️ GOLD : Bull or Bear ? (PPI's effect)Well, as you can see, after yesterday's latest update and the 60 pip price correction, gold faced buying pressure again and managed to grow up to $1963! Now, in half an hour we will have the PPI statistics and unemployment claims in America, which will have a great impact on the price and the market and can bring the price to extreme fluctuations. I don't have many special offers for you today, and it is better to watch the price movements than trading on it . But in general, there are 2 important possibilities, one is that the price from this area will attack the large liquidity pool in the area above $1973, and the other is that if the actual PPI rate is will be announced higher than predicted rate, It may cause rejection of gold from this area!

Virulent inflation raises pressure on the Bank of EnglandThe inflation battle is far from over in the UK. In fact, the nature of inflation is taking a new form as the root cause moves away from external to more domestically driven shocks. While the headline rate remained unchanged at 8.7%yoy in May, core inflation accelerated to 7.1% in May from 6.8% in April, marking the highest rate since March of 19922. In response the Bank of England (BOE) raised interest rates by a bumper 50Bps to a 15-year high. While the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) have made progress on bringing down inflation, the BOE still has some ways to go. Current market pricing assumes the terminal policy rate will go to 6% by year end3. UK inflation proving to be virulent The UK has the most severe entrenched inflation problem across developed markets. The domestically driven increase of services prices advanced from 6.9% to 7.4%yoy in May4. As services are labour intensive, they are being impacted by strong wage gains. Employment growth has been stronger than projected underscoring continued robust demand for labour. This high demand caused the rise in weekly average earnings (ex-bonus) to 7.5% in April5, well above the BOE’s forecast. Brexit has been partly responsible for the rise in wages. Brexit reduced the mobility of European workers. The resulting lack of non-qualified workers has not yet been reabsorbed. The situation was clearly exacerbated during the Covid pandemic that left a large part of the workforce sick. The shortage of workers in the UK continues to weigh on the supply side and has been the key reason inflation has remained stubbornly high. The resilient gains in employment (up 1.2% in April 20236) have allowed UK households to continue spending on services. Thereby contributing to higher services inflation, prices for recreational and cultural goods and services rose by 6.8%yoy in May 20237. At the same time, due to the shift away from floating rate mortgages towards fixed rate products over the last decade, the pass through of higher rates is taking longer to feed through the economy, thereby enabling the consumer to appear more resilient. However, headwinds are appearing from higher mortgage rates, with at least 800,000 fixed mortgages due to move on to significantly higher rates in H2 20238. Rents have also been rising, at an annualised pace of 5.6% in May compared to 3.2% in 20229. This is likely to place further pressure on real disposable incomes and simultaneously fuel core inflation higher. The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that higher interest rates will cause the average mortgage holder to suffer an 8.3% fall in disposable income compared to a scenario where rates remained at March 2022 levels. For 1.4 million of those borrowers, disposable income will fall by more than 20%10. BOE guided dovish The BOE’s guidance implied that no further rate hikes should be needed bar evidence of more persistent inflationary pressures however the market ignored this. Money markets priced a terminal rate of 6.25% by February 202411. The BoE did not rule out further rate increases should the inflation data continue to be unfavourable. However, they did downplay the unexpected surge in core inflation in May owing to special contributing factors such as the sharp rise in vehicle excise duty and the erratic contribution of airfares and holiday packages. The BOE also highlighted that forward looking indicators are pointing to material falls in future wage inflation which could then lower the pressure on services prices. We share that view, as producer price inflation which tends to serve as a leading indicator for consumer price inflation, eased more than expected in May. The June composite Purchasing Managers Indices (PMI) dropped for a second month in June, showing price pressures easing across the board, suggesting the economy could be turning. Sterling Positive rate surprises are not always positive for the currency. The Pounds muted response (-0.17%)12 to the BOE meeting despite the hawkish surprise and its negative reaction (-0.21%)13 to the hawkish May inflation data suggest that the BOE is prepared to endure a deeper slowdown in order to bring inflation under control. As a growth sensitive currency this is likely to remain an important headwind for the Pound.

12/06/23 Weekly outlookLast weeks high: $27401.2 Last weeks low: $26363.7 Midpoint: $25326.2 A massive week in the markets this week: Tuesday - US inflation data to be released tomorrow (Inflation rate YoY, MoM and core inflation YoY.) Wednesday - PPI MoM, FED interest decision, FOMC economic projections & FED conference. Thursday - Initial jobless claims & US retail sales All these events happening so closely together signals huge volatility to be expected. This coupled with the SEC news the crypto space is balancing on a knife edge. We've already seen alts bleed extensively but BTC and even ETH have yet to seen similar sell-offs. Perhaps we will see it this week. As it stands price is near last weeks low, with the incoming volatility I think we can safely assume that price will break lower, it's a question of how far below it will go.

EURUSD - A review of this week's newsWe're beginning to see a Tale Of Two Economies emerge, as US data this week shows the path of disinflation continues, albeit slowly, giving investors hope that the Fed's interest rate increases are making an impact. Meanwhile across the pond, all quotes from the ECB are warning that the fight against inflation rages on and further rate hikes will be coming. However, one major factor hanging over the Dollar is the news that there is "significant risk", according to the CBO, that the US won't be able to pay all of it's obligations as soon as the beginning of June, leading to the possibility of a default unless Congress votes to raise or suspend the Debt Ceiling. From a technical perspective we see EURUSD failed a number of attempts to break through at the highs and has now begun to create lower highs and lows with it's violent moves down in recent days. Key trendlines and support levels have been broken and all signs point to the countertrend move having begun. While we appear overextended on lower timeframes, it may be prudent to wait patiently for a new lower high for a viable short entry. It seems likely that we're witnessing a breakout to the upside on the DXY combined with profit taking and shift in sentiment for the Euro due to continued inflationary pressure in contrast to US inflation. United States (US): US CPI YoY 4.9% (Forecast 5%) : Consumer prices rose 4.9% on an annual basis, below forecast. US Core PPI YoY Actual 3.2% (Forecast 3.3%, Previous 3.4%): The US core Producer Price Index (PPI) rose by 3.2% year-on-year, slightly below the forecasted 3.3%. US PPI MoM Actual 0.2% (Forecast 0.3%, Previous -0.5%): The US Producer Price Index (PPI) increased by 0.2% on a monthly basis, slightly below the forecasted 0.3%. US Initial Jobless Claims Actual 264k (Forecast 245k, Previous 242k): The number of Americans filing for initial unemployment benefits rose to 264,000, exceeding the forecasted 245,000. This increase suggests ongoing challenges in the US job market. The “single biggest threat” to the economy now is the US hurtling towards a default on its obligations, said Karine Jean-Pierre, press secretary. European Central Bank (ECB): ECB: Consumers see 5% inflation over the next 12 months vs 4.6% in February : The European Central Bank (ECB) reports that consumers in the Eurozone expect inflation to reach 5% over the next 12 months. This represents an increase from the previous estimate of 4.6% in February, reflecting growing concerns about rising prices. ECB's Nagel says the "latest interest rate hike won't be the last". ECB's Lagarde spoke on Thursday, saying "the fight against inflation isn't over".

April's CPI Surprise: Can Bulls Charge Forward For Now?SPDR S&P 500 FUTURES ( CME_MINI:ESM2023 ) & ETF ( AMEX:SPY ) - Market Update - 10/10/23 The April Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed a 0.4% increase last month, driven by rising shelter, used vehicle, and gas prices. This increase met Wall Street expectations, and the annual inflation rate of 4.9% came in slightly below estimates, providing hope for a lower trend. For workers, real average hourly earnings, adjusted for inflation, rose 0.1% for the month but were still down 0.5% from a year ago. These CPI figures provided a stick save for ES_F. A massive 60-point range started with a failed breakout at 4176, and ES_F tested the overnight low, flushing to the 4114 support level. An intraday bull flag formed at the 4118-4123 support zone, with bulls getting long at the 4129-4134 range. A broadening formation (megaphone) pattern emerged at 4114, with resistance at 4176-4180. The rising uptrend channel from the March 2023 low is highlighted in yellow, establishing new support at 4134. Bull Case: On any pullback, look for re-entry to go long at the 4145-4146 level. If we move above 4145, the new magnet zone is 4176-4181. The 4166 support level is also a good magnet. Bear Case: On any pullback, look for re-entry to go short below 4134. Economic Factors: Keep an eye on the PPI-Final Demand and Jobless Claims data released at 8:30AM (EST) today. Bonds: The US10Y supports the bull case on the 4-hour chart with a new lower low. A symmetrical triangle pattern with a 5-day rising support range is visible, extending from 3.0308% to 3.311%. Support Levels: 4134-32 (major), 4122, 4114-16 (major), 4111, 4105, 4092, 4082-78 (major), 4061, 4048 (major - broadening formation support), 4037, 4020-22 (major), 4011 (major), 3997, 3984 (major), 3978, 3952 (major), 3942, 3935 (major), 3904 (major), 3892 (major) Resistance Levels: 4146 (major), 4154, 4166, 4176-81 (major, broadening formation support), 4188-92 (major), 4200, 4210, 4218-20 (major), 4230 (major - broadening formation support), 4243-46 (major), 4256 Final Thoughts: As the market continues to digest April's CPI surprise, traders should remain vigilant and watch key support and resistance levels. The bull case still has potential, but it is crucial to monitor economic factors, such as PPI-Final Demand and Jobless Claims data, as well as bond market developments.

Swiss franc falls despite SNB Jordan's hawkish messageThe Swiss franc has fallen considerably on Thursday. In the North American session, USD/CHF is trading at 0.8950, up 0.59% on the day. Swiss National Bank President Jordan reiterated a hawkish message on Wednesday that he sent out a week ago. Jordan said that he could not rule out further rate hikes, noting that current monetary policy was not restrictive enough. In other words, the SNB is unhappy with inflation levels, which although relatively low at 2.6%, have been above the Bank's target of 0-2% since February 2022. Inflation fell from 2.9% to 2.6% in April, and there is one final inflation report before the SNB's next meeting on June 22nd. The SNB has not shied away from being aggressive and delivering oversize hikes as high as 0.75% in the current rate-hike cycle, and we could see another hike if inflation doesn't fall close to 2.0% in the next release. The Swiss franc continues to appreciate, much to the consternation of SNB policymakers, as a stronger Swissy makes exports more expensive. The Swiss franc has soared about 500 points since March 1st and Jordan made sure to remind his listeners that the central bank was prepared to intervene in the forex markets if necessary. In the US, unemployment claims surprised to the upside, rising to 264,000, up from 245,000 and higher than the consensus estimate of 242,000. This was the highest total since January 2022, and although it's just one report, it will likely raise speculation that the labour market is showing cracks. On the inflation front, the Producers Price Index, taking the lead from CPI, softened in April. The headline reading fell from 2.7% to 2.3% (2.4% est). The core rate dropped from 3.4% to 3.2% (3.3% est). USD/CHF has pushed past resistance at 0.8907.  The next resistance line is 0.8994 0.8819 and 0.8732 are providing support

PPI News Release tomorrow. What is it? The U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) MoM release is tomorrow (14:30). In this idea I will talk about what it is and how we can make money of this as traders :) What the # is PPI? The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures the price change on the manufacturing side. In contrast to CPI, Consumer Price Index, which measures what consumers pay for their stuff! So, the PPI covers the price changes of the sellers and that is why it is widely considered as one of the most important indicators for inflation. How does PPI influence the dollar? When the PPI rises, this sends a message to the fed that inflation may be taking place so they should raise interest rates to 'fight' this inflation. The interest rates hikes generally lead to higher value of the dollar. Rising PPI = signal of inflation = policy of higher interest rates = more attractive to investors = dollar is more in demand = increase in value Same things goes for the other side: Low PPI = low indicator for inflation = message to fed to ease up with the rate hikes = lower interest rate = Generally bearish for the dollar. So always buy the dollar when PPI rises? NO! You should also take a look at the monetary policy of the counter currencies countries. Because lower interest rates in USA generally DON'T mean a decrease in the dollar value for USD/JPY if the interest rates are even MORE lowered in japan. Conclusion To be honest, the best way to 'make' money in the long term during major news events is to not trade at all. Because of the major volatility spike you can lose money very quickly and there is also have very high risk of slippage on your trades. Trading big news events is like gambling and that's not what we do. Maybe you experience a little bit of FOMO when you see the beautiful big moves that you 'could have gotten into' but it WILL pay off in the long run to avoid trading during major news events. I give daily ideas about market analysis, trading psychology and trading in general. ❤️ If you appreciate my work, please like, comment, follow and send to someone you think should read this. ❤️ If you don't then don't! :) @yorick7878 I wish you all good trading!

USDCAD, post BoC & PPI data releaseFundamental Analysis Key points: For the fourth day in a row, USD/CAD has been under some selling pressure on Thursday. The USD is under pressure as a result of expectations for a pause in the Fed's rate-hike program. Despite expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is nearing the end of its rate-hiking cycle and turns out to be a key factor exerting pressure on the USD/CAD pair, selling of the US Dollar (USD) continues incessantly for the third consecutive day. In point of fact, the markets appear to be convinced that the US central bank will stop tightening its monetary policy after one more hike next month, as evidenced by the lower-than-expected US Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers released earlier today, Thursday 13th April 2023. Technical Analysis From a Technical Analysis standpoint, this is actually a follow-up from our initial bearish analysis that we shared on Friday 24 March (please see link at bottom of this analysis), since then price has been dropping (first top black arrow) from $1.38000 price level. Subsequently we shared another two updates on March 30th and April 3rd, explaining that we were anticipated a pullback and further drop from $1.35555 level (2nd lower black arrow), for more details, please feel free to go back and review those analysis. Since all that time our target was and still is the $1.31200 price zone as shown on weekly chart of the 30th March update. So now, Price is coming to a zone from where it is likely to bounce off from and make another pullback, before moving down again. That pullback maybe deeper than expected, and we also don’t negate the fact that price may very well go through this level and if so that we should expect a bigger reaction from $1.33000 price level (see projections on chart). All in all, we believe USD/CAD is still bearish regardless if makes a pullback or creates some range in between.

PPI, XLF No Bear follow through, Rate Hikes, QQQ Lead Bull- PPI data came in better then expected increasing the likelihood of a pause to 50-60% - XLF gapped down new lows but closed around cash open area, meaning there wasnt a lot of bear follow through after the gap down. The first sign bulls want to see is XLF holding its lows and start to bounce or even just going sideways is good for tech bulls. Bears want to see new lows. - QQQ lead bull held up the SPY. making 15m higher lows each time while SPY was making new lows in the end afternoon once XLF started bouncing just even a little bit you saw both SPY and NASDAQ had a nice rip higher. - Looking for SPY to form its daily uptrend then i would be playing on the bull side for swings on TQQQ or SPXL, for now im still scalping day trades and going all cash before end of the day. - Next FOMC meeting is going to be a lot more key then any other previous ones to see if Powell actually pauses or hike 0.25BPS even if he hikes 0.25 we still want to see what he say in his speeches is he going to say this is the last hike and we are pausing after this 0.25.

PPI Data, Rate Hikes, QQQ / SPX Support and Resistance- CPI data came in expected today, excpet core is 0.1% hotter market didn't really care since we need something really hot to not get a 0.25bps - PPI data likely will come in expected as well today, since CPI was pretty aligned so technical matter more now - SPX came close to 200 MA today rejected the 3940 area but QQQ is above 200 MA - QQQ and SPX reject resistance at the same time - QQQ broke 294.5 support (yesterdays triple top resistance) in the afternoon and bears didn't follow through bulls V shaped into close - KRE and XLF both still in daily bear flag territory. KEY QQQ & SPX BOTH is still under resistance even though we V shaped we closed right under it, so still in the chop range, I am neutral now yesterday i was bull lean and played the bull move this morning as i mentioned when we broke the triple top resistance at 294.5 QQQ I am going long. Now at this range its anyone's game since there are both bear thesis and bull thesis that are both correct at these levels. currently all cash took profit this morning likely scalping depending on which side we break tomorrow.

EUR/USD at 3-week low after strong US dataThe euro is down for a third straight day and fell earlier to 1.0629, its lowest level since Jan. 23. In the European session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0639, down 0.30%. The US dollar is showing some strength this week against the majors, as US data continues to shine. Retail sales impressed with a 3% gain earlier this week, and PPI and unemployment claims were both better than expected. Is the disinflation process stalled? The markets didn't expect such good numbers, but the economy has proved to be surprisingly resilient to rising interest rates. The Fed has been preaching 'higher for longer' for some time, but the markets stuck to their dovish stance, expecting that the Fed would have to pivot and even cut rates later in the year. The host of strong US numbers has forced investors to recalibrate, and the markets have revised upwards their peak rate forecast to above 5%. The US dollar has been the big winner of the shift in market thinking, and US Treasury yields are at their highest level this year. Fed member Mester said she saw a strong case for raising rates by 50 basis points at the last Fed meeting, a sign that the Fed could move away from the moderate 25-bp hikes if inflation isn't falling quickly enough. Mester said that she didn't see inflation falling to 2% until 2025, which points to a long disinflation process. The ECB raised rates by 50 basis points in February and has signalled that it will do the same at the Mar. 16 meeting. The main financing rate is currently at 3%, well below the Fed (4.5%) and other major central banks. It's not clear what the Bank has planned after the first quarter, but with inflation running at 8.5%, the risk for further rate hikes is skewed to the upside. The ECB has made it clear that rates will remain high until there is evidence that inflation is falling toward the target, which means that the current rate-tightening cycle isn't anywhere near its end. EUR/USD is testing support at 1.0629. Below, there is support at 1.0581 1.0762 and 1.0847 are the next resistance lines
