Buy STOCKS heavily and dump GOLD according to this ratio.It is not the first time we use the SPX/GOLD ratio (S&P500 to XAUUSD) for a macro analysis and certainly each time it manages to offer us different and very helpful insights. This time on the 1W time-frame, the ratio is consolidating these past 2 weeks but after having broken in late May - early June above the 2022 Lower Highs trend-line. That alone is a strong bullish signal and a look in the past 10 years shows that this is a cyclical pattern that has already been formed twice. The SPX/GOLD ratio following its market peak, enters a Descending Triangle (which is during a time of risk crisis in the markets) where Gold starts to outperform the S&P500 (stocks), a natural move as the yellow metal is a safe haven. Then as the Triangle's Support holds, the price breaks above the Lower Highs and starts the new Bull Phase. Exception is of course the March 2020 COVID crash, which is a Black Swan event and doesn't count as technical. If it wasn't for that, the price would continue breaking above the Lower Highs as the rest of the fractals. In addition, the 1D RSI breaking above its own Lower Highs trend-line, is a similar buy signal. Currently, since the ratio is significantly above not just the Lower Highs trend-line (RSI as well) but also the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), we can expect it to reach the 2.68 Resistance within 6 months. Naturally, as the title says, this means for investors to buy stocks at the expense of holding Gold. This is translated that we are in a Bullish Phase (risk-on) where buying assets like stocks offer more return than Gold, which should be converted to riskier assets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

The SPX/DJI ratio points to a multi-year Bull ahead.This is a very informative analysis using the SPX/DJI ratio. In recent decades this has helped at identifying recession and expansion cycles. As this chart shows on the 1M time-frame, after each crash since 2000 and the Dot Com crash (Housing crash, China slowdown, Brexit, Oil Crsis, Trade War crash and the more recent Inflation Crisis), the ratio started to rise, meaning that the S&P500 started to outperform the heavily industrialized Dow Jones Index, which led to a new Bull Cycle. Since the bottom of the Dot Com Crash, the ration has been trading within a 20 year Channel Up, which is limited by a Lower Highs trend-line. If broken we can start talking above a new mega expansion phase. The 1M MACD just completed a Bullish Cross last month, suggesting that the current Bull Cycle may only be at its very beginning. Regardless of all that, we believe this is a very interesting ratio to follow and that has offered useful conclusions to you. We hope you enjoyed it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

SPX eyes $4,600. But can it make there?Yesterday, after the market close, International Business Machines, Netflix, and Tesla unveiled their earnings for the second quarter of 2023. Investors did not take this news positively, and shares of all three companies slumped in response. Today, in the pre-market, Netflix is down more than 8%, Tesla more than 4%, and IBM approximately 1%. More U.S. corporations are scheduled to report their earnings today, including Abbott Laboratories, Johnson & Johnson, and Philip Morris. In addition to that, today, we can anticipate crucial economic data, including updates on initial jobless claims and the Philadelphia FED Manufacturing Index. In regard to technical indicators, RSI traveled into the overbought territory on the daily chart while MACD and Stochastic continued to develop bullish structures. The price deviated too far from the 20-day SMA, which makes a case for a slight pullback before SPX continues higher. We will update our thoughts as the earnings season progresses further. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of SPX and RSI. Yellow arrows indicate the first divergence between the price and RSI. Now, we will watch whether RSI can overtake its peak on 15th June 2023. If RSI crosses below 70 points, it will be bearish. Technical analysis gauge Daily time frame = Bullish Weekly time frame = Bullish *The gauge does not necessarily indicate where the market will head.

USA S&P 500 (US500) Index Analysis 05/01/2022Fundamental Analysis: As we can see the Index has shown a very strong come back after the Covid-19 pandemic of March 2021 which caused the market to fall and create a panic to the world. Since then there are lots of changes to the world and the way companies are operating, such as releasing of their premises and offices as they should have discharge lots of their employees and the work from home schemes was the main reason to cut the expenditure of these companies drastically down. From the other hand, the market administration and governments including Banks has injected lots of funds and so called Rescue Packages and the market stimulant's packages to protect the Market from its Hard and Drastically fall to the lower levels and prevent a gigantic Global Markets Crises. These funds and injection of the cash to these companies along side of cost deduction due to their risk measurement policies, forced these companies to invest the receiving funds in to the companies assets to protect themselves from the Pandemic Crises and hedged their exposed risks instead of investing these funds to the new Projects or renovations which could Couse their Share prices to appreciate intrinsically but instead these investments in the assets made an inflation to the prices of the assets and created a bobble in their share value and Prices without having any inheritance or intrinsic values. so we can easily have a decision derived from the current situation that there has to be an other market fall and crises soon so the Price and its relevant intrinsic values get converged and market comes to its correct values. we can observe the same situation in many different centralized markets such as Dow Jones and even other Stock Exchanges around the world like London and rest European market places to be in the same inflated status. there exist a huge chance of an other Global Market Crises coming soon which has the domino effect and Couse the entire markets to fall for some times . This fall of the market shall remove off the liquidity from the equity and debt market and streamflow them to some green heaven Asset classes including Gold and silver or even newly invented Technologies such as decentralized markets and Cryptocurrencies and DeFi. if we have a look at the Current crypto's Total Crypto Market Capitalization we can see it has a very good chances of Rally Continuation to some very high levels such as 5 to 6 Trillion dollars or even much higher. Gold even can see higher Prices such as 2500 USD per ounce which is currently ranging at 1800 USD. we even can some how speculate a 3 world War to be the initiator of this Market fall which is even not so far from the reality as the situation in middle east is not very stable due to the Iran and Israel disputes and new anti-covid's restriction social movements in Europe and America continent. we shall analyze few other markets and indices and ultimately Propose some Assets which are at their low Points Currently and can be counted as under values at present times. Technical Analysis: we have used the Fibonacci retracement and Expansion from the low to the Highest point before the Covid pandemic to have a better vision of the Higher expansion levels for the post retracement's rallies and identify the Potential Price levels and resistance zones. where the market can show some stagnation and starts its retracement and price correction to the lower levels. There exist a Bearish Divergence of Price and MACD where Price has made higher high levels but MACD made lower Highs which is the most significant and strong Bullish Trend Reversal and start of Market fall and Price retracement and Value corrections. there are total of 3 Targets defined which have a very strong Support tendencies which can be interpreted as the maximum retracements points. there are few Resistance levels are also defined to have a better vision incase of Current Rally Continuation which eventually can be counted as the Trend reversal points

S&P500: Small pullback will provide the new buy entry.S&P500 reached the top of the four month Channel Up, remaining on heavily overbought technical indicators on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 75.225, MACD = 61.680, ADX = 45.310). As the 1D RSI is close to hitting the HH trendline that goes as back as November 2022, we expect a pullback, at least on the short term inside the Channel Up, first to drop the overbought indicators back to a balanced stated and secondly to form a HL on the Channel Up. We are opening a sell on closing, aiming at a -2.60% (TP = 4,460) pull back which was the decline of the last correction. That will be a low risk buy opportunity (as long as the 1D MA50 holds) to target R1 (TP = 4,640). If the candle closes under the 1D MA50 and S1, we will short and target the 1D MA200 on S3 (TP = 4,165), a potential correction that will neutralize finally the overbought 1D RSI.

A trader’s playbook: can a USD in motion remain in motion?It was a huge week for USD traders and the USD remains the central focus of clients and wider market participants this week. US data is lighter on the ground and with the Fed in its blackout period, we are in cruise control into next week’s FOMC meeting, where a 25bp hike is an almost done deal. Will this hike prove to be the last in the cycle? The market is certainly feeling higher conviction that US inflation is trending in the right direction, and the moves in forward interest rates markets, to revisit price cuts in 2024, were the key reasoning why the USD has been so heavily sold. We can look at the SOFR interest rate market and see on Thursday that an aggressive -160bp of cuts were priced for 2024, although this has come back on Friday closing at -148bp. The USD and gold are moving closely to these expectations and the degree of easing from the Fed from March 2024. The FX market is front running possible normalisation of Fed policy in 2024, and this is lifting risky assets and high beta FX (NOK and SEK especially). The question then is whether the USD sell-off has gone too far and we are at risk of mean reversion early this week – the upside in the USD will likely see equity markets finding better sellers, which all saw big gains last week. US and Asia corporate earnings roll in this week, with SAP also getting a focus for GER40 traders, and in a quiet data week earnings may play an influence. There is also a focus on the special rebalance of the NASDAQ, which aims to reduce concentration risks (www.axios.com) We start the week on a quiet tone with Japan offline for Marine Day and the potential for HK markets to close as tropical storm Talim is upgraded to a no. 8 typhoon signal. As the week rolls on though one of the key topics of conversation is whether the BoJ alter its YCC policy at the BoJ meeting on 28 July – recent press suggests moving the 10yr JGB (Japan govt bond) cap (currently set at -/+0.50%) set by its YCC program is a real possibility. Should they move it to 0.75% or even 1% it could have big implications for the JGB market and by extension the JPY. We’re coming off a big week for the US rates market and the USD is moving very closely in alignment to this pricing – the market sees the Fed cutting before other DM central banks and by a greater degree. This is something the market is very keen to explore and could have far-reaching implications for the USD into Q3 and certainly Q423. Rearview alpha plays - what worked best last week: • G10 and EM FX play of last week: Short USDSEK (-5.4% WoW), short USDHUF (-4.9% WoW) • Equity index plays - long FRA40 (+3.6% WoW), long AUS200 (+3.4% WoW), long NAS100 (+3.4% WoW) • Commodity plays – Long Copper (+3.9% WoW), Long XAGUSD (+8% WoW) • Equity plays for the radar – Tesla (report earnings after market Wednesday) – the implied move (on the day of earnings) is 3.5%. The stock is looking for direction with the bias defined by a break of $284.25 or $265.10. Netflix report earnings at 6 am AEST on Thursday, with the market seeing an implied move of 4%. • Crypto plays: Long XRP (+53.4% WoW) Marquee event risk for the week ahead: • US 2Q earnings – in the week ahead we receive earnings from 11% of the S&P500 market cap. Trader favourites include Bank of America, IBM, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Netflix, Tesla, and AMEX. • For GER40 traders, do consider that SAP SE report Q2 23 earnings on 21 July (aftermarket) – SAP holds a 9.4% weighting on the GER40, making it the biggest index weight, and therefore any outsized moves in SAP could influence the index - Can we see SAP break above E130 and to the highest levels since Oct 2020? • UK CPI inflation (Wed 16:00 AEST) – The market expects UK core CPI to remain at 7.1%, while headline inflation is expected to fall to 8.2% (from 8.7%). The last 4 UK core CPI prints have come in well above expectations. With the market pricing 45bp of hikes from the BoE at the 3 Aug meeting, we’d need to see a huge downside surprise (in core CPI) to lower expectations that the BoE will hike by a further 50bp. • Australia (June) employment report- (Thurs 11:30 AEST) – the median expectation is that 15k net jobs were created in June, with the unemployment rate remaining at 3.6%. While we look ahead at next week’s Aus Q2 CPI, the jobs report could influence expectations of RBA action on 1 August, which is priced at a 36% chance of a 25bp hike. • Japan CPI inflation – the market sees JP headline inflation rising to 3.3% (from 3.2%), while core is eyed at 4.2% (4.3%) – with the market debating whether the BoJ alters its Yield Curve Control (YCC) program at the 28 July BoJ meeting, this data could influence that debate and potentially result in further pronounced moves in the JPY. • China Q2 GDP (Mon 12:00 AEST) – expectations are for a rebound in GDP to 7.1% YoY (from 4.5% YoY). At the same time, we also get China’s industrial production (consensus at 2.5%), retail sales (3.3%) and fixed asset investment (3.4% YoY). Watch price action in CHINAH, copper, USDCNH and the AUD over this data. • US retail sales (Tue 22:30 AEST) – it’s a quiet week for US economic data with US retail sales and various housing data points among the highlights – the market eyes 0.5% MoM retail sales growth. • EU CPI (Wed 19:00 AEST) – the central case is for core inflation to remain at 5.4%, while headline CPI is expected to fall to 5.5% (from 6.1%). A 25bp hike at the next ECB meeting is a near certainty, but a lower inflation print may see longer-term expectations fall. • Canada CPI inflation (Tues 22:30 AEST) – the market sees headline CPI at 3% (from 3.4%), and the core median at 3.7% (3.9%). The next BoC meeting isn’t until 6 September, so this CPI print may fail to move the CAD too intently. • NZ CPI inflation (Wed 08:45 AEST) – The market sees NZ inflation running at 5.9% YoY (from 6.7%), and 0.9% QoQ – One for the NZD traders, but unless we get a blowout number the RBNZ should hold rates steady at the next meeting on 16 Aug. • South Africa central bank (SARB) meeting (Thurs - no set time) – One for those running USDZAR exposures, but the prospect of a 25bp hike to 8.5% seems likely. • Turkey central bank (CBT) meeting (Thurs 21:30 AEST) – the market expects the CBT to hike the one-week repo rate to 18.25% (from 15%) – eyes on your USDTRY exposures. Fed speakers – With the Fed entering its blackout period, we see no Fed speakers until the FOMC next week. ECB speakers – Lagarde, Lane, Vasle, Elderson, Vujcic, Villeroy BoE speakers – Ramsden RBA speakers – no individual speakers – RBA July meeting minutes (Tues 11:30 AEST)

SP500 Black Swan Event Incoming!Following on from our alternative account which has now become our primary count we have cleaned up the chart and think we are very close to the top of this B wave, as retail traders and the media are turning bullish on the stock markets we think it's a matter of time before the rug is swept out from under the bulls feet and we come crashing down to our target of 3200. A 1300 point move from current prices! What could spark such a sharp move? China invading Taiwan? Inflation staying stickier than analysts expect? Moving into a negative growth environment? There are plenty of things that could spark this move, what it will be is anyones guess. All we know is if our analysis is correct this move will be very sharp and catch a lot of people off guard.

US100 and US500 Possible Counter Trend Trade OpportunityIn this video, we examine the stock indices and observe that they are approaching key resistance levels on the higher time frames (1M, 1W, 1D etc). We can observe weakness in the GE40 and FTSE, raising the question of whether the US100 and US500 will follow suit. Considering it's the end of the week, a correction is a possibility.

Earnings season beginsMany of you know that we have been skeptical about the rally in the stock market over the past year. In fact, we called it a bear market rally and touted a decline toward $3,400 once it ran out of steam. Our thesis for this thinking was that unemployment would start picking up, corporate earnings would decline, and interest rates would lead to cracks in the economy. While we began to see cracks in the banking sector at the end of 1Q23, we did not see much follow-through with the rising unemployment and falling corporate profits. After the FED pumped liquidity into the market as a response to the regional bank crisis, we noted that these developments would likely get postponed further into the future. Now, with another earnings season looming over us, we can finally get more insight into what is going on in the underlying economy. If there is an improvement in earnings and future outlook, it will increase the odds of a shallow recession, likely proving our thesis about a heavy correction toward $3,400 wrong (especially if the market continues higher from the current level). As a result, we will pay close attention to the banking sector, which is reporting its earnings first. Among some of the important subjects of our interest will be credit issuance, delinquencies on debt, and deposits. Regarding most recent developments, SPX broke above the resistance near $4,456 yesterday, which is bullish. If SPX breaks above $4,500, it will further bolster the bullish case in the short-term. The same applies to the rising RSI if it breaks above 70 points. In such a scenario, we would expect SPX to rise somewhere between $4,550 and $4,600. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 displays the daily chart of SPX and simple support/resistance levels.

S&P500: Targeting 4,570 but may take a while.S&P500 made a new yearly High today after the U.S. CPI report and solidified the 1D bullish technicals (RSI = 66.131, MACD = 48.400, ADX = 25.681). The MACD indicator if it makes a bearish cross, it will form a similar pattern to the start of May where it turned the index into a 2 week consolidation before making a new High. We will wait for a pullback near the 1D MA100 before buying or will make a breakout buy if the price crosses over the R1. In either occassion, we will target near the top of the four month Channel Up (TP = 4,570).

Double-top on SPX?The previous week was filled with numerous data disclosures that provided deeper insights into the U.S. economy. Most notably, we saw the first month-over-month decline of the S&P Global Services PMI in 2023 (negatively affecting the S&P Global Composite PMI), a continuation of contraction in the manufacturing sector, and a slight decrease in the unemployment rate (from 3.7% in May 2023 to 3.6% in June 2023). Overall, the data has not proved recessionary yet. But with services slowing down, it would be appropriate to stay cautious and wait for more data to reveal underlying trends in the economy. In our opinion, the current valuations for stocks seem overstretched (especially in the tech sector), and the replacement of fear and calls for a recession by the narrative dismissive of any danger to the U.S. economy could lead to a volatile concoction in the stock market. As a result, we are monitoring multiple technical indicators on a daily time frame, including RSI, MACD, and Stochastic. All three of these indicators show divergence with the price and point to the downside, which is not particularly bullish. In addition to that, SPX appears to be forming a double top, giving rise to an interesting setup if the pattern becomes valid. Illustration 1.01 The picture above shows the mentioned setup. The bearish trigger becomes activated once the price breaks below Support 1. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 shows nearly the perfect harmony between the decline from January 2022 until October 2022 and the rise from October 2022 until July 2022.

S&P500 Short and medium term sell potentialS&P500 (SPX) made a yearly High last week and a Higher High on the Channel Up pattern that started on the October 13 2022 market bottom and guided the market out of the 2022 Bear Cycle. This Higher High opens up two sell possibilities one on the short and one on the medium term. The short term indicates that a Megaphone pattern similar to April 04 - May 04 is emerging that targets the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) as part of its Lower Low. That would also test the Internal Higher Lows trend-line, so it makes sense to short and target 4320. This is where we will attempt a medium-term buy targeting 4640 (March 29 2022 High) but will only hold it as long as candles keep closing above the 1D MA50. If even one 1D candle closes below, it will activate the medium-term sell possibility and we will sell targeting the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level towards the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) as well at 4150, similar to December 22 2022. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

S&P500 Will attempt to find Support near the 1day MA50S&P500 is so far on a flat 1day candle after a series of 3 red. That keeps the price inside a Channel Up since March 13th and of course inside the longer term Channel Up since the October 13th market bottom. The index should seek support on the 1day MA50 as it has done since March 30th, so that's a short term sell opportunity to 4330. Consequently that will be the new Higher Low (bottom) on the Rising Support of the narrow Channel Up, hence a buy opportunity targeting Resistance A at 4500. If the 1day candle gets closed under the 1day MA50 though, sell and target the bottom of the wide Channel Up and the 1day MA200 at 4150. Follow us, like the idea and leave a comment below!!

Daily Market Analysis - MONDAY JULY 10, 2023Key News: USA - FOMC Member Daly Speaks USA - FOMC Member Mester Speaks USA - FOMC Member Bostic Speaks UK - BoE Gov Bailey Speaks US stocks closed the week on a downward trend as investors carefully analyzed a range of data released earlier in the month. This data instilled confidence in the stability of the US economy, leading to expectations of prolonged elevated interest rates. Throughout the week, equity markets encountered challenges stemming from positive economic data, sparking speculations of a longer period of higher interest rates. After fluctuating and contemplating the potential for rate cuts later in the year, it seems that the markets have come to terms with the idea that the economic cycle will unfold over an extended timeframe. Consequently, the S&P 500 recorded a 1.2% decline. S&P 500 daily chart The Dow concluded the week with a loss and closed lower on Friday as traders assessed a monthly jobs report for June that fell short of expectations, ending a streak of 15 months of meeting estimates. Nonetheless, there remains anticipation that the Federal Reserve will proceed with a rate hike later this month. Dow Jones Industrial Average Index daily chart The US economy added 209,000 jobs in June, which fell short of the projected 225,000 and represented a substantial decline from the 306,000 jobs added in the previous month. This figure indicates the slowest pace of job creation since December 2020, raising concerns about the overall strength of the labor market. US Nonfarm Payrolls Despite the disappointing job growth figures, there was a positive aspect to the report with regards to wage growth. Average hourly earnings in June increased by 4.4%, surpassing the estimated 4.2%. This suggests that workers are experiencing higher wages, which could potentially contribute to increased consumer spending and economic growth. While the market still expects a rate hike in July, there is speculation among investors that the cooling labor market might deter the Federal Reserve from implementing further rate hikes beyond July. This sentiment is echoed in a note from Morgan Stanley, stating that the current data may not meet the criteria for the Fed to deliver a hike in September. In other news, the US-listed shares of Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) experienced an 8% rise following the announcement of a $984 million fine imposed by Chinese authorities on Ant Group. This marks the conclusion of Ant Group's extensive regulatory restructuring process, which has been closely monitored by investors and industry observers. These developments in the job market and the regulatory landscape have contributed to a dynamic and evolving market environment, where investors are carefully evaluating the implications for monetary policy and the performance of specific companies like Alibaba. Alibaba stock daily chart As the second quarter of the 2023 earnings season begins, analysts are anticipating a consensus that S&P 500 earnings per share (EPS) will decline by 9% year-on-year. This decline is attributed to stagnant sales growth and margin compression, highlighting the challenges faced by companies. However, there is a particular focus on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on companies, given the significant developments in the tech sector this year. The extent to which S&P 500 companies can effectively leverage AI to generate additional profits remains uncertain. Therefore, investors will closely examine management guidance and commentary to identify the companies that have the ability to enable, scale, and benefit from AI in the long term. Certain companies have already presented revenue and earnings outlooks that surpassed expectations, instilling confidence in their ability to navigate the current landscape. For example, Micron Technology (MU) provided optimistic revenue and earnings outlooks, while NVIDIA (NVDA) delivered significantly higher-than-consensus sales guidance for the second quarter. However, the shine of AI has been somewhat dulled by potential restrictions on the export of AI chips to China, which poses a notable risk for companies operating in this sector. Policymakers in the G4 countries, including the Japanese yen (JPY), have shown remarkable consistency in their approach, leading to limited potential for the US dollar to appreciate against other major currencies. With interest rates and equities experiencing fluctuations, there is less room for significant adjustments in foreign exchange (FX) markets. The European Central Bank (ECB) has closely aligned its approach with that of the Federal Reserve, sometimes even surpassing it in terms of rhetoric. This has prompted a reevaluation of the short-term outlook for the Eurozone, despite slower economic growth. The ECB's singular focus on combating lower inflation has provided support for the euro. However, there are limits to this approach, as extreme measures to control inflation may only be effective for a certain period, particularly when the economy is already experiencing a technical recession. If the trend persists, the more hawkish members of the ECB may adjust their stance, potentially leading to a decline in the EUR/USD exchange rate back to 1.07. EUR/USD daily chart In the upcoming week, investors will be keeping a close eye on a range of important economic indicators and events. One key highlight is the release of the consumer and producer price indexes, which provide crucial insights into inflationary pressures in the economy. These reports will be closely scrutinized as inflation remains a key concern for market participants. Additionally, the import and export price indexes will offer further indications of global trade dynamics and the impact of tariffs and trade policies on prices. This data can provide valuable insights into the health of the international trade sector and its potential effects on the broader economy. Investors will also be closely monitoring the Michigan consumer sentiment and expectations report, as consumer sentiment is an important gauge of consumer confidence and spending patterns. This data can provide valuable insights into the strength of the consumer-driven sectors of the economy. Furthermore, speeches from various Federal Reserve officials, including Barr, Mester, Daly, Bostic, Bullard, Kashkari, and Waller, will be closely watched for any hints or signals regarding the central bank's monetary policy stance. These speeches can provide valuable insights into the thinking of key policymakers and the potential future direction of interest rates. Overall, the combination of economic data releases and speeches from Federal Reserve officials will shape market expectations and influence investor sentiment in the coming week. Market participants will be analyzing these indicators and events for potential impacts on monetary policy decisions and overall market trends.

A traders’ playbook: looking to Japan for volatility With the US nonfarm payrolls behind us, we look to the US CPI report as the next big risk for markets. Ahead of this, we’ve seen USD sellers start to dominate with EURUSD eyeing a re-test of the 22 June high of 1.1012 and USDJPY 300 pips off its recent high. We also see GBPUSD looking poised to test the 1.2850 highs, so one for the breakout traders, especially with UK jobs/wages in play this week. Gyrations in the US (and DM) bond markets have started to impact equity sentiment, especially US 5-year real rates (DFII5 on TradingView) rising to the highest levels since 2008, at a time when the G4 central bank balance sheet is falling. We continue to watch this dynamic, while micro factors may start to play a role, with Q2 earnings rolling in. Commentaries from CEOs on expected demand, input prices and how the cost of capital is impacting are a few themes to focus on. The US500 rests on 4400 with the shorts eyeing a test of the 26 June low of 4329 – a break here, especially if it coincides with the VIX index rising above 18%, should get traders in front of the screens and taking down the timeframes. We also saw the return on the JPY, with shorts squaring as the carry trade was partly unwound - higher G3 bond and rates volatility a clear consideration here, with the MOVE index pushing to 130. We also saw Japan's data flow come in hot, notably in the TANKAN report which showed Japanese corporates expect inflation (in 5 years) to exceed 2% for the fourth quarter in a row. We see Japan's 10yr swaps rising to 60bp, and 10yr JGBs to 42.8bp and the fact funds are shorting Japanese bonds could be telling ahead of the BoJ meeting on 28 July. Japan takes centre focus – if the market genuinely believed the BoJ were to tweak its uber dovish monetary policy setting it could cause real gyrations through markets. We watch China data ahead of the July Politburo meeting, although, with elevated expectations of stimulus to be announced during this key event, one could easily feel that bad data could easily be forgiven. Central bank meetings in NZ and Canada may get some attention – although it’s the BoC meeting, which looks the far livelier affair. Rearview alpha plays - what worked best: • G10 and EM FX play of last week: short CADJPY (-1.5% last week), short USDHUF (-2.6% on the week) • Equity indices play of last week: Short FRA40 (-3.9%), short EU Stoxx 50 (-3.7%) • Commodity plays of last week – Long SpotCrude (+4.6%), short XAUGBP (-0.8% on the week) – lower for four consecutive weeks. • Equity plays for the radar – CSL (AU) – shares have fallen in 9 of 10 trading sessions. RIVN (Rivian Auto US) – shares have gained in 8 consecutive trading sessions. JP Morgan – commence the US Q2 corp. earnings on Friday. Marquee events for traders to navigate: US Core CPI inflation (Wed 22:30 AEST) – the marquee event risk of the week. The consensus is weighted towards core CPI at 0.3% MoM / 5% YoY (from 5.3%), with the economist’s range of estimates seen between 5.1% to 4.8%. Headline CPI is expected to come in at 0.3% MoM / 3.1% YoY (from 4%). The Cleveland Fed Nowcast model sees core CPI running at 5.1% YoY. With risky assets sensitive to moves in US bond yields, a core CPI print at/above 5.3% is the ‘pain trade’ and would likely see US bond yields rise further and risk taken down. While it may lower the prospect of a hike from the Fed in the July FOMC meeting, it would take a truly weak number to see market pricing for a 25bp hike fall below 50%. UK jobs and wages report (Tues 16:00 AEST) – traders will recall the red-hot April wage data which contributed to the BoE hiking rates by 50bp (in the June BoE meeting), so GBP and UK100 traders will be watching this data point closely. The market expects weekly earnings (ex-bonus) 3M/YoY to come in at 7.1% (from 7.2%). Rates markets have priced a 76% chance of a 50bp hike at the 3 Aug BoE meeting, with peak bank rate expectations at 6.41%. We also see that GBPUSD has rallied in the last 10 consecutive wage reports. US 2Q corporate earnings – JPM, J&J, Citi and Wells Fargo get us going with earnings on Friday (14 July), with JPM’s numbers getting the full attention of traders – the implied move on the day of earnings for JPM (derived from options) is 1.3%, with the bulls looking for a firm break of the range highs of $147. While we watch the price action in the US big US money centres, keep an eye on the small end of town and the regional banks – the KRE ETF is a good proxy here. Bank of Canada meeting (Thurs 00:00 AEST) – this is a ‘live’ meeting that could result in some sharp movement in the CAD – after the recent Canadian jobs report, retail sales and core CPI report, the market is skewed to a 25bp hike to take rates to 5%, with the market pricing a hike at 68% chance. We also see 16 of 24 economists calling for the hike. CAD longs preferred, with USDCAD targeting 1.3200. RBA gov Lowe speaks (13:10 AEST) – there is little Aussie tier 1 data to trouble traders this week, so RBA gov Lowe and China data get the attention. Rates markets price a 62% chance of a 25bp hike at the 1 August RBA meeting, so Gov Lowe’s outlook may influence that pricing. The Aussie jobs report (20 July) and Q2 CPI (26 July) remain the big event risks for AUD traders that could decide a hike on 1 Aug. China June CPI/PPI (Mon 11:30 AEST) – the market sees CPI at +0.2% and PPI inflation at -5% (from -4.6%). USDCNH looks to consolidate between 7.2800 and 7.2185, where a break could influence G10 FX pairs, with a higher USDCNH likely acting as a headwind for AUD and NZD. China June trade data (Thurs no set time) – China’s trade data is hard to consider for one’s risk management as there is no set time and typically has a low initial impact on Chinese equity markets or the yuan. As we look for more stimulus to be announced at the July Politburo it feels as though the market will limit the reaction. The current consensus is for China’s June exports to fall -10%, while imports are called down -4.4%. We also get China new yuan loans/aggregate financing through the week (no set time or date), and while closely watched it is unlikely a market mover. US PPI inflation (Thurs 22:30 AEST) – the market looks for 0.4% YoY on headline PPI and 2.6% YoY on core PPI – it’s hard to see this being a big market mover unless we get an outlier print (vs consensus). The PPI print should shape our understanding of the important core PCE deflator (released 28 July). RBNZ meeting (Wed 12:00 AEST) – the market sees this as a low-risk event with all 15 economists (surveyed by Bloomberg) seeing NZ interest rates on hold, with the NZD swaps market pricing just 3bps. AUDNZD gets attention and looks to have put in a short-term bottom, with longs preferred for a move to the 200-day MA at 1.0850. University of Michigan sentiment – the market expects the sentiment survey to increase to 65.5 (from 64.4). We also look at the respondents’ views on US 1-year inflation expectations, with the consensus eyeing 3.1% (from 3.3%), while the 5-10yr inflation expectations are eyed to be unchanged at 3%. Fed speakers – Daly, Mester, Bostic, Barkin, Kashkari, Waller BoE speakers – Bailey (Tues 01:00 AEST and Wed 18:00 AEST) RBA speakers – Gov Lowe speaks (Wed 13:10 AEST) ECB speakers – Villeroy, de Cos, Vujcic, Lane

S&P500 has activated a short term, at least, sell sequence.S&P500 has a 3 day bearish streak. Both medium and long term patterns are Channel Ups. The medium term has the MA50 (1d) as the Rising Support and the long term the MA200 (1d). At the moment, it seems that a Megaphone consolidation such as April-May is in order. Trading Plan: 1. Sell on the current market price. 2. Buy at 4310 (bottom of the medium term Channel Up). 3. Sell if a (1d) candle closes under the MA50 (1d). 4. Buy at 4130 (bottom of the long term Channel Up). Targets: 1. 4310 (bottom of the medium term Channel Up). 2. 4640 (Resistance 2). 3. 4130 (bottom of the long term Channel Up). 4. 4640 (Resistance 2). Tips: 1. The RSI (1d) is exactly at the bottom of its Channel Up. A break under it, is a sell confirmation. 2. There have been two -9% corrections since December 2022. A new one would push the price straight to the MA200 (1d) which is intact since March 24th. Please like, follow and comment!! Notes: Past trading plan:
