Why The Fed Lowered Rates - My Opinion Part IIThis is Part II of Why The Fed Lowered Rates - My Opinion The only reason the Fed lowered rates by 50bp this week is because the global markets are reeling under pressure from a strong US-Dollar and a strong US economy. Without any relief, the new POTUS would enact new policies and push them through Congress, and the US would start another spending spree—pushing the US-dollar-based assets even higher and driving the capital flow into USD-based assets even further. That capital flow is harming foreign economies, and global central banks have been trying to fight the tide of a very strong US dollar for more than two years. If the Fed had not lowered rates, we would likely start to see severe pressure on global central banks and possibly even governments/economies over the next 24-48 months. This is a way for the US Fed, and thus the US economy, from potentially being dragged into a global contagion event after 24+ months of reducing global money flow/function. Simply put, the US Fed gave in to global central bank concerns related to a strong US economy/Dollar compared to their weaker currencies/economies and the pressure being exerted by a decoupling global economy. Even though the lower US rates may provide some relief for the global market, the pressure on global currencies/economies may adapt to this "new normal" and continue to squeeze global central banks.

Nikkei to break to the upside?NIK225 - 24h expiry Buying pressure from 35998 resulted in prices rejecting the dip. The current move higher is expected to continue. This is positive for short term sentiment and we look to set longs at good risk/reward levels for a further correction higher. Further upside is expected, however, due to the strong resistance above we prefer to buy a break of 37068, which will confirm the bullish sentiment. Although the anticipated move higher is corrective, it does offer ample risk/reward today. We look to Buy a break of 37068 (stop at 36368) Our profit targets will be 38868 and 39168 Resistance: 37610 / 38585 / 39265 Support: 36375 / 34805 / 33980 Risk Disclaimer The trade ideas beyond this page are for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice or a solicitation to trade.

JPN225 Correction Persists Ahead of the BoJThe Japanese index managed to swiftly rebound from the plunge caused by the central bank’s second rate hike and hawkish messaging at the end of July, as the market rout created some apprehension around the policy shift. Furthermore, the monetary setting remains accommodative and interests rates are still near-zero, while the stock market’s appeal goes beyond monetary policy and weak Yen. JPN225 comes from a strong week, fueled largely by the upbeat messaging from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang that spilled over to Japanese chip makers. Advantest and Tokyo Electron, two of Nikkei’s largest constituents, jumped more than 7%. As a result the index tries to regain the EMA200 that would allow it to exit its correction and challenge the August highs (39,204). However, the index is cautious this week, as tech optimism wanes and markets await the BoJ’s decision, preceded by inflation update. Policymakers are unlikely to raise rates again, but communication around the path ahead will be crucial. Official have pointed to further tightening ahead and another hike this year is reasonable, as inflation is well above 2%, wages have increased and Q2 GDP posted strong growth. Furthermore, the monetary policy shift and the Yen’s rebound have led to outflows from foreigners over the past seven months. JPN225 stays in correction and below the EMA200 the risk of bear market persists, although sustained below that threshold has a higher degree of difficulty.

NIKKEI 2nd phase of rally starting.NIKKEI (NI225) couldn't have given us a more reliable bullish continuation signal that our last call (August 14, see chart below), as it hit exactly our 39000 Target and then pulled-back: The rejection took place on the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level, similar to the, above 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) rejection on October 13 2023, which is the Megaphone fractal we used last time to come up with the buy signal. So far, the new correction almost reached the 0.5 Fib, so it is good enough for a buy, considering also the fact that the 1D RSI hit again the Symmetrical Pivot Zone, which is where the late October 2023 decline bottomed and started a new rally to the Megaphone's top. As a result, we turn bullish again today, targeting 42450 (the July 11 High). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Navigating volatility in the Nikkei225:Start of a Virtuous CycleBy Danish Lim Zhi Lin, Investment Analyst Current Performance of Nikkei 225 Index: As of 9 September, the Nikkei 225 Index was down by -0.48%, after falling as much as 3% as weak US Payroll added to slowdown fears and dampened risk appetite. The Nikkei 225 Index saw a 5th straight decline, with data showing Japan’s Q2 GDP expanded less than expected at 2.9% QoQ, but still advancing enough to keep the BOJ on track to hike rates later this year. At the same time, China CPI and PPI data fell short of forecasts, adding to global growth headwinds that could weigh on Japanese equities. With the upcoming US elections and Japan’s leadership race, the path ahead for the tech-focused Nikkei 225 Index is likely to see added volatility, even as investors countdown to the Fed’s rate first rate cut in 4 years. “The Time Has Come” “The time has come” was a memorable phrase from Chair Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. After several premature bets on Fed rate cuts earlier in the year, it appears that cuts are finally on their way. We expect discussion to shift towards the pace and reason behind Fed rate cuts. In this backdrop, the Nikkei 225’s performance will largely depend on why rates are moving lower - with equities likely to outperform in a “soft landing”, but underperform in a “hard landing”. With the US economy likely shifting from expansion into deceleration and a potential recession; and with previously-inflated valuations, a negative economic surprise such as last Friday’s payrolls data can trigger an outsized market reaction towards the downside. In other words, “Bad news will be Bad news” moving forward. Green Shoots in Japan However, fundamentals appear unchanged and we are inclined to believe that the recent bout of volatility is tied to weakness in the global economy rather than Japan itself. As mentioned in our previous post , we anticipated the August drawdown to be temporary as we viewed the increase in real wages, the first in 27 months, to be a key catalyst for the realization of a virtuous wage-price cycle that is expected to support consumer spending and boost sentiment. We also expect the BOJ to tread more cautiously regarding monetary policy moving forward, likely resulting in a more stable Yen. At the same time, the government also presented its view that business investment is showing signs of picking up in its August monthly economic report, upgrading its monthly economic assessment for the first time in 15 months on signs of a consumption recovery. Corporate reforms and growing shareholder activism have also led to higher dividends, more share buybacks and stronger balance sheets. Other developments Japan PM Fumio Kishida stepped down from his position and said he will not seek re-election on 14 August, paving the way for the ruling party to vote on his successor on September 27. A leadership vote in the ruling Liberal Democratic party set for Sept 27 will determine Kishida’s successor. Official campaigning for the LDP race starts on Sept 12, with about 10 candidates expected to run. Geopolitical risks remain due to the upcoming US elections and potential chip curbs by foreign countries . Nikkei 225 Outlook & Trading Opportunity: In our view, we believe recent events have not altered the long-term fundamentals of the Japanese market. Nevertheless, volatility is to be expected with the upcoming US elections and global growth concerns lingering in the background; although we believe the overall trajectory for Japanese equities will be positive. Alongside Fed rate cuts, a more moderate Yen could be beneficial for Japanese equities by lowering imported inflation and supporting consumer spending. In combination with wage hikes of around 5% expected in 2H, we expect real household income and private consumption to continue trending upwards, providing support to the Nikkei 225 despite a volatile backdrop. In line with our view, we prefer to take entry on weakness, as we believe it provides an attractive entry point. Near-term volatility could see the Nikkei 225 Index under pressure; but we favour a long position in the long-run with a trailing stop-loss to help limit losses in the event of a sudden market downturn. Expressing Our View: We prefer the trade setup below to express our view: Long Nikkei 225 Index Futures Based on a Fibonacci Extension drawn from the October 2023 to the July 2024 high, the daily chart shows the index experiencing a brief rebound from the 5 August low of 31,156; but has since broken below the 0.382% extension level at around 37,000 – 37,100. We take this level as immediate resistance. We expect to near-term volatility to bring the Nikkei 225 Index further down towards the 0.500% extension level around 35,697 – 35,700. We set this level as our entry point with a 5% trailing stop-loss, bringing our stop loss level to around 33,915. Our target level will be the 0.786% extension level around 40,499 – 40,500. Several technical indicators support our view for near-term volatility: - The MACD line is shown to have crossed below the signal line in a bearish crossover. - Prices are below the 50-, 100-, and 200-day moving averages. Alternatively, traders can consider a short position to take advantage of near-term volatility. But the risk-reward for a long position looks more promising, in our opinion. We also favour an 5% trailing stop loss to pair with our long position, allowing us to lock in profits if the price moves favourably. • Entry Level: 35,700 • Target Level: 40,500 • Stop Loss Level: 33,915 (trailing stop preferred) • Profit at Target: 4800 x ¥500= ¥2,400,000 • Loss at Stop: 1785 x ¥500= ¥892,500 • Reward: Risk Ratio: 2.69x Trade Nikkei 225 with Phillip Nova now

Nikkei225:Adjustments&Subsidies to Toyota,Nissan,PanasonicToyota, Nissan and Panasonic are adjusting their electric vehicle production strategies, reflecting the complex situation in Japan's auto industry. Toyota will reduce its global production of electric vehicles in 2026 to around one million units, down from its original plan of 1.5 million, underscoring the challenges in the transition to greater electrification amid changes in demand and the supply chain. The Nikkei 225 index, one of the main indicators of the Japanese stock market, closed down 0.62%, influenced by these strategic moves and setbacks in key sectors such as mining, chemicals and precision technology. The Nikkei's volatility increased by 29.67% to 27.05, reflecting investor uncertainty. Looking at the Check Point (POC), it is around 38,520 points. The current range was between 39,450 and 36,650 points, above today's close of 36,422.50. Currently the RSI is at 39-40% so it could happen that on Monday the selling sentiment will continue to move higher at the open if there are no changes over the weekend. Toyota, Nissan and Panasonic are benefiting from government subsidies of up to US$2.4 billion to boost domestic battery production, with the goal of expanding capacity by 50% to 120 GWh. Nissan has received certification to manufacture lithium iron phosphate batteries with a production plan of 5 GWh by 2028. However, high competitiveness and challenges in electrification continue to generate volatility in the Nikkei, reflecting investors' response to these companies' strategies in an evolving market.

JPN225 Drops Back to Correction TerritoryThe benchmark Japanese index experienced a steep decline after the central bank stepped up is tightening efforts at the start of the month, but was able to cover the losses as investors calmed down. However, the BoJ is likely to raise rates again and along with the Yen’s rebound, JPN225 could face sustained headwinds. The index loses ground this week and falls back to contraction territory, as Nvidia’s slump amidst broader tech fears, spills over to Japan. Key Japanese chip manufacturing equipment companies and major Nikkei constituents like Tokyo Electron and Advantest suffered heavy losses. JPN225 is now exposed to the 38.2% Fibonacci of its recent rebound, which bring back the risk of a near market. On the other hand the RSI points to oversold conditions, while the stock market’s strength goes beyond monetary policy and weak Yen. Above the 38.2% Fibonacci, JPN225 can push for higher highs (39,204), although sustained advance has a higher degree of difficulty under current conditions.
