75: China Export Analysis - Fundamental and Technical OverviewThe European Union (EU) and the United States have increased scrutiny and imposed higher tariffs on Chinese imports, particularly electric vehicles and strategic materials like gallium and germanium. These measures are designed to protect domestic industries from what are perceived as unfair trade practices and subsidies by the Chinese government. Additionally, the EU's new Critical Raw Material Act and battery regulations aim to reduce dependency on Chinese imports and secure supply chains for critical technologies. These regulatory changes have led to a noticeable decline in Chinese exports to the EU. In response, China has imposed export restrictions on key materials, further straining trade relations. These geopolitical tensions and trade barriers have significantly impacted China's export figures. Currently, China's export trend is showing a downward trajectory. The export figures have struggled to reach the $350 billion mark and are at risk of dropping significantly lower, potentially towards the $140 billion level. Chart Overview: Trend Line: A clear downtrend is visible on the chart, with lower highs and lower lows indicating sustained pressure. Support and Resistance Levels: Resistance: The $350 billion level is the upcoming resistance. That has not yet been reached. Support: Immediate support is observed around $250 billion. A break below this level could accelerate the downward move towards $140 billion. Will We Reach $350 Billion or Go Lower? Given the current economic and geopolitical landscape, it seems still likely that China will reach the $350 billion export mark in the near term because there has not been a really corrective wave in the chart. But the downward pressure from increased tariffs, export restrictions, and the EU's push for supply chain independence are significant hurdles. If these conditions persist, a further decline is a plausible scenario.by seventyfiveinvest2
July Economic Calendar - IMPORTANT EventsIt’s going to be a busy month for the Chair of the Fed (Jerome Powell), who delivers a speech today and then will testify later this month in front of Congress to provide updates on monetary policy decisions. Will we gain clarity on the timing of potential rate cuts this year, and if they are even being considered? Crypto in June - How BTC responds June saw significant volatility across the crypto market. Bitcoin fluctuated between price highs above $70,000 and lows of around $60,000, with substantial movement around 4 June when Bitcoin peaked above $71,000, before declining on 6 June and continuing a downward trend and falling to levels last seen in May. ETH and altcoins followed along, with Ethereum down approximately 11% in June . Pulling it back to the US markets, some analysts argue that the fluctuations was largely driven by uncertainty surrounding inflation data. The drop to $60k could likely be due to the reducing likelihood of multiple interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve Bank this year, contrary to earlier investor anticipations (causing hesitation and a cautious approach). Upcoming Events that could Affect Markets: ❗ Tuesday, 2 July 📢 Jerome Powell speech Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will provide an economic overview today, outlining current monetary policies. He will answers questions and the outcome of this speech can significantly impact financial markets and investor sentiment. ❗Wednesday, 3 July 📢 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) The upcoming FOMC minutes are expected to provide more details on the Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged, and its revised economic projections. Key points could include the reasons behind the more hawkish stance on rate cuts, and the implications of updated forecasts for unemployment and inflation. ❗Friday, 5 July📢 US Unemployment Rate The US unemployment rate is a key indicator of economic health, influencing consumer spending, corporate profits and the social sentiment. During May the US jobs sector added 272,000 jobs, further casting doubt on the rate cuts in the US this year. ❗Tuesday, 9 July 📢 Fed Chair Powell testimony Jerome Powell is set to discuss the state of the economy, monetary policy decisions, and also outline future policy intentions in his twice-a-year testimony in front of Congress. ❗Thursday, 11 July 📢 US Inflation Figures The year-on-year and month-on-month inflation numbers provide crucial insights into purchasing power trends, influencing market expectations for interest rates and the overall economic outlook. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) climbed 0.2% in May, the smallest advance in core CPI since October 2023. Take extra caution when over the next few weeks as volatility will be likely depending on the outcome of these events. _______________________ ECONOMICS:USINTR FRED:UNRATE ECONOMICS:USIRYY by CryptoCheck-4
$EUIRYY -EU YoY (CPI) source: EUROSTAT The inflation rate in the Euro Area declined to 2.9% year-on-year in October 2023, reaching its lowest level since July 2021 and falling slightly below the market consensus of 3.1% . Meanwhile, The Core Rate, which filters out volatile food and energy prices, also cooled to 4.2% in October; marking its lowest point since July 2022. However, both rates remained above the European Central Bank's target of 2%. The energy cost tumbled by 11.1% (compared to -4.6% in September), and the rates of inflation eased for both food, alcohol, and tobacco (7.5% compared to 8.8%) and non-energy industrial goods (3.5% compared to 4.1%). Services inflation remained relatively stable at 4.6%, compared to 4.7% in the previous month. On a monthly basis, consumer prices edged up 0.1% in October, after a 0.3% gain in September. by Mr_J__fxUpdated 6

Unemployment & The Coming RecessionOnce the Unemployment Rate crosses the 36 mo MA this has historically marked a period of a coming Recession. As you can tell from the RSI indicator we entered into this phase a few months ago. I'm posting this chart because tomorrow Biden is going to tell everyone how great the Economy is doing (wait for it), but the Unemployment Chart indicates we have officially moved into the "Recession" category and there is nothing on the horizon that says this situation is going to be improving, in fact, millions of illegal aliens now flooding into the country indicates the situation will be getting much worse. Banks will begin seizing a record number of properties in foreclosures and bankruptcies as the Unemployment Rate continues upward thanks to the plans they implemented. These periods of "Boom and Bust" are completely fabricated through the policies they implement. There is no reason why this chart shouldn't be mostly a steady line with minor hills and valleys in what would be considered a growing and healthy economy. Also note the Unemployment Rate has never returned back to it's 1972 levels following the removal of the Gold Standard in 1971 by Nixon.Shortby cldx6

Mortgage Product BiasMortgage Product Bias Indicator Overview: The "Mortgage Product Bias" indicator is designed to assist investors, analysts, and mortgage brokers in identifying trends and potential biases in the mortgage products market. This tool evaluates the relative positioning of the RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia) cash rate against a calculated average interest rate over a specified period, providing insights into whether market conditions favor fixed or variable rate mortgage products. Functionality: Data Sources: The indicator utilizes real-time data from the RBA cash rate (AUINTR), integrating these values to generate insights based on historical averages. Average Interest Calculation: Utilizes a user-defined number of months (default is 7 months) to calculate the exponential moving average (EMA) of the cash rate, which represents the average interest rate over the specified period. Bias Identification: Determines the bias towards fixed or variable rate products: Fixed Rate Bias: Triggered when the current cash rate is higher than the average interest rate, indicating a potential market leaning towards fixed-rate products. Variable Rate Bias: Triggered when the current cash rate is lower than the average interest rate, suggesting a favorable condition for variable rate products. Usage: For Investors: Use this indicator to gauge the best times to enter into fixed or variable rate mortgage agreements based on historical pricing trends. For Analysts and Mortgage Brokers: Provides a visual tool for advising clients, preparing reports, and making data-driven decisions in the mortgage industry. Visual Elements: Color-coded Display: Red indicates a fixed rate bias. Green indicates a variable rate bias. Gray indicates neutral conditions where the cash rate aligns closely with the average rate. Horizontal Line: Represents the threshold level at -0.5% to highlight significant deviations in the cash rate from the average. Implementation: To use the Mortgage Product Bias indicator, simply add it to your TradingView chart from the Indicators menu and configure the length of the average interest rate calculation as needed. The tool is designed for ease of use and can be customized to fit individual or institutional analysis workflows. Disclaimer: This indicator is intended as a tool for financial analysis and decision-making. Users should consider additional factors and conduct comprehensive market research before making financial decisions based on this indicator.by MAKINFINANCIALS0
Fraud Update - Mainstream NewsLast week, on the television show "Good Morning America", they ran a segment about "the economy". During this segment, the Disney-owned (short Disney) "news outlet", reported the unemployment rate is 3.7%. ... ...... ............ the unemployment rate is currently 4%. No big deal you say? Well, I disagree. Namely because: 1. They're wrong, 2. finding out the unrate is as simple as googling "unrate". So for some reason the supposedly professional news team at Disney-owned ABC, chose to incorrectly report a key datapoint. Lol. Why the fake news, ABC? Shortby ChiefMacro1

FED hawkish with encouraging inflation data. ...are we at a pantomime of a creaking economic system? bond futures are currently pricing in a cut of just over 25 basis points in fed funds between now and the end of the year. While the Fed bides time on a possible interest rate cut, inflation data is encouraging. Core goods (excluding food and energy), the category that drove the inflation spike in 2021 and 2022, registered its biggest deflation since 20 years. Next cut in September? Let me know your opinion with a comment. Thank youShortby NewHOrizons10

The Printing Company- how it works : - Imagine you can create apples, and that you are the only one in the world able to do that. - So if you create 100 apples, you will make them more rare and unique, so maybe you can sell them for 10$ each one. - So now imagine you create 10,000,000,000 apples, you will have more apples than peoples need to eat, so you will have to sell your apples 0.0001$ - Anyway you don't really care about your apples price goes down because, you can create how many apples as you want, and the world population is growing. - This is exactly the same for the US Dollar : -- Less they print paper, less life is expensive, because we get some kind of USD rarefaction. -- More they print papers more the dollars flood the world, it makes it weak, then you need more papers to buy your home, a new car or food. -- Flooding the world with USD make everyone dependent on USD. - So in graph you can see how many dollars they created post crises 2007 and for Pandemic Covid in 2020. - So what is the situation right now : -- Basically they stopped to print ( that's the main reason DXY Pushed up. "Dollar rarefaction" ) and world economy crashed ( Forex, Stocks , Cryptos ) . -- In time they will have no choice to print again because their system is based on a greedy model. - What you see is the just top of the iceberg, the Fed is a mosquito if you compare it to the BIS ( Bank for International Settlements). - Actually controlling the flux of the creation of the dollar is just controlling the world system, it's a kind of tax form that you don't see, but you pay it much more than you think with inflation. - USD paper money system will end sooner or later for a new monetary model called CDBC. - it will be worst than you think as they will control everyone having a phone on their hand. - The Only way to to counter them is to buy Bitcoin because of his real disinflationary mechanic. - There's no other way to counter the system right now.
