The USDIndex retreated to 103.97 on news that Biden struck a deal with Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that would raise the US debt ceiling and prevent an unprecedented default in early June.

NASDAQ (+0.5%), Topix and ASX200 both rose about 1%, while Hang Seng and CSI300 are down by 0.3 and 0.6% respectively.

Market Update – May 30 – Stocks Muted Ahead Of Vote.

Image
Trading Leveraged Products is risky

Eurozone stock markets are slightly higher, US futures outperforming as officials promote their debt ceiling deal to secure sufficient support to pass the vote in Congress, while Asian markets closed narrowly mixed. Most Asian equities declined today ahead of the deal vote but also due to the concerns regarding China’s outlook and rising tensions with the US, after Beijing declined the Pentagon’s request for a meeting between US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and China’s Defense Minister Li Shangfu at a security forum in Singapore in June. Russia launched a wave of air strikes on Kyiv today, while in Moscow videos shared on social media showed drones flying low over the Russian capital. Treasury yields declined across the curve on debt dated from 5 years to 30 years.

Meanwhile as investors had started to price in a US debt deal on Friday, confirmation of the agreement should have a limited impact.

*FX – USDIndex has moved up to 104.48 as confidence in the debt ceiling deal strengthens. EUR dips to 1.0677, JPY retests 140.92 for a 2nd day in a row and Cable is still within its range at 1.2325 lows.
*Stocks – Hang Seng dropped as much as 1% today , marking the fifth day of declines and taking its losses from the Jan. 27 peak to about 20%. JPN225 closed 0.3% higher, CAC 40 is up at 0.1%, the DAX is up at 0.2%, US500 and US100 rose 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively. Nvidia +2.54% and Tesla +4.72%.

Image

*Commodities – USOil returned to 72.10 as the market’s risk-on sentiment cooled slightly and mixed messages from major producers clouded the supply outlook ahead of their meeting over the weekend.
*Gold – extended lower to $1933, leaving the doors open for a potential move to $1920 and $1900.
*Cryptocurrencies – BTC held yesterday’s gains above $27530.

Today – Fedspeak will remain heavy before the upcoming blackout period. Barkin speaks on policy and the economy. We also have Eurozone economic confidence, US consumer confidence, home prices, the US House vote on the deal and the May reading of China’s manufacturing PMIs.

Image

Biggest FX Mover @ (06:30 GMT) Copper (-0.60%) pullback to 3.6210. MAs flattened, MACD histogram & signal line are close to 0, RSI 42.67 & falling, H1 ATR 0.0129, Daily ATR 0.0899.

Market Update – May 31 – Last Day of May.

Image
Trading Leveraged Products is risky

Treasuries rallied with rising hopes that the debt deal will be signed off by Congress. Wall Street finished mixed after opening in the green, extending Friday’s AI inspired pop on additional strength from Nvidia which saw its market cap briefly top $1 tln. China’s service sector expanded rapidly in May but factory activity contracted, implying an uneven recovery and boosting concerns for a slow recovery.

German import prices were down -7.0% y/y. PPI numbers also came in weaker than anticipated and the data adds to signs that inflation pressures are dropping fast. So far the central scenario remains that the ECB will be hiking rates again in June and July, but if confidence data doesn’t improve and credit growth deteriorates further, the July hike could still be cancelled.

FT:” A group of Republicans led by Pennsylvania congressman Scott Perry said on Tuesday they would “do everything” in their power to block the deal, casting doubt on whether Congress would pass the debt ceiling deal agreed on Saturday by the default deadline.”

*FX – USDIndex has rebounded to 104.19 on Fed expectations, after dipped to 103.87. EUR dips to 1.0683, JPY pulled back to 139.30 and Cable fell 0.2% to 1.239.
*Stocks – Hang Seng dropped more than 2% post PMIs from China, the US500 and US100 both fell 0.3%. #Nvidia +2.99%, #Tesla +4.14% and #GoldmanSachs (-0.36%) plans another round of job cuts amid dealmaking slowdown.

Image

*Commodities – USOil has dropped and reversed gains. Currently at $69. China’s recovery continues to look lackluster and Russian oil continues to reach world markets, which coupled with growth concerns has been keeping a lid on prices. Meanwhile Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister has kept the option of another output cut on the table ahead of the OPEC+ meeting on June 4, although Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated that he anticipated no new measures from the group.
*Gold – has moved higher to $1964, as Treasuries rallied.
*Cryptocurrencies – BTC drifted to 26946 which is also S3. Barrons: Bitcoin miners appear to have dodged a bullet, as Congress’ draft debt-ceiling bill doesn’t include the heavy crypto tax that the White House had proposed.

Today – HCPI & CPI from Germany, Canadian GDP and lots of Fedspeeches from Bowman, Harker and Jefferson.

Image

Biggest FX Mover @ (06:30 GMT) EURUSD (-0.51%) drifted to 1.06716. MAs aligned lower, MACD histogram & signal line turned negative, RSI 29 & falling, H1 ATR 0.00106, Daily ATR 0.00595.

Market Update – June 1st -Stocks higher after bill vote.

Image
Trading Leveraged Products is risky

Yesterday’s dovish Fedspeak, a mixed Beige Book, a weak Chicago PMI, and easing concerns over a default supported yields. Month-end demand and a little risk aversion underpinned too. The market also continued to correct from some of the heavy losses since May 11 resulting from hotter data that opened the door for a June rate hike. Implied Fed funds futures dive and Treasury yields have followed suit after Fed Governor Jefferson touted skipping a June hike in order to see more data. The June implied rate has fallen to 5.198% and July has downshifted to 5.288%.

Today, Stocks edged higher after the House voted 314-117 on Wednesday in favour of a bill to raise the US debt ceiling. The bill will pass through the Senate next. German retail sales rose 0.8% m/m in April & UK house prices fell 0.1% in May as rate concerns persist.

*FX – USDIndex climbed to 104.699 with support from JOLTS, but closed lower at 104.23 following dovish Fedspeak and the Beige Book. EUR dipped to 1.0683, JPY pulled back to 139.30 and Cable fell 0.2% to 1.239.
*Stocks – US100 was down -0.63% and the US500 off -0.61%, unwinding some of the enthusiasm from Nvidia. The US30 slid -0.41%.

Image

*Commodities – USOil remained under pressure below $69 after weaker than expected official PMI reports for China added to growth concerns and weighed on the demand outlook. Comments from Russian officials damped speculation that OPEC+ could announce deeper output cuts at the June 4 meeting.
*Gold – moved sideways between $1960-$1968. It closed the month lower after strong data releases bolstered speculation of another Fed hike in June.
*Cryptocurrencies – BTC closed the week’s gap down to $26,580.

Today – UK Manufacturing PMI, Eurozone Inflation and Core, US ADP change and ISM Manufacturing Index.

Image

Biggest FX Mover @ (06:30 GMT) Cotton (+2.58%) spiked to 85.42. MAs aligned higher, MACD histogram & signal line turned positive but still close to 0, RSI 69 & rising.

Market Update – June 2nd – Stocks higher as US debt deal is signed off!

Image
Trading Leveraged Products is risky

June kicked off with rallies in Treasuries and on Wall Street thanks diminished fears of a Fed rate hike and a debt default. USDIndex slumped. Stock markets across Asia moved higher while, the decline in yields helped support equities, especially big tech which had stumbled.

The US Senate has approved a fiscal deal between the White House and congressional Republicans, ending a weeks-long political stand-off that risked triggering an unprecedented debt default in the world’s largest economy.

Markets are looking for a pause from the Fed in June as debt drama is out of the way, the price data has weakened and there is a continued weakness in manufacturing. The repricing of Fed outlooks saw the probability of another 25 bp tightening on the 14th trimmed to 25% from 70% at the start of the week.

*FX – USDIndex closed at 103.58 from a peak of 104.50. EUR dipped to 1.0778, JPY extended losses to 138.60 and Cable spiked to above 1.2500 at 1.2543.
*Stocks – Hang Seng rose nearly 4%. The Nikkei closed 1.2% higher, the US100 is up by more than 1.29%, while the US500 was up 0.99% and the US30 0.47% higher. Nvidia another 5% up, Salesforce 4.69% down.

Image

*Commodities – USOil have stabilised and backed up from recent lows amid an aversion of a default on the US’s liabilities. Currently it is at 70.92 from 66.85 yesterday.
*Gold – rallied to $1983.
*Cryptocurrencies – BTC recovered yesterday’s losses and is currently retesting a move above $27k.

Today – NFP day, with nonfarm payrolls projected rising 180k in May, though recent reports on jobless claims, ADP, and some of the PMIs suggest upside risks.

Image

Biggest FX Mover @ (06:30 GMT) AUDJPY (+0.75%) spiked to 91.80. MAs currently flat, MACD histogram & signal line positive and rising, RSI 72 & flat.

Trading Leveraged Products is risky

The USDIndex rotates around 104.00 holding its positive bias, emerging market currencies weaker (USDTRY at record high 22.7200) Stocks closed positively with US500 at a new 2023 high, Asian markets have followed through despite a big miss for Chinese exports (reflecting weak global demand) and poor import levels. Ripples from the RBA decision continue to lift AUD and CAD with a potential surprise from the BOC later today too, now more possible. The SEC decision to sue both Binance & Coinbase (-12%) hit Altcoins in particular as Bitcoin recovered from 3-month lows.

Overnight – Weak Chinese trade data showed a 13-month low sinking over a third ($65.8b vs. $95.2b) as exports missed by 7.5% & imports data was also weaker. AUD GDP also missed (0.2% vs 0.3% & 0.6% prior), Japanese leading Indicators also declined, and more mixed German data showed a miss for Industrial Production, (0.3% vs. 0.7%) but improving from last month’s slump of -2.1%, (which was -3.4%).

*FX – USDIndex continues to rotate in a wide arc around 104.00. EUR holds below 1.0700, remains capped at 1.0750 and trades at 1.0675. JPY cannot hold the 140.00 handle & is below 139.50, at 139.30. Cable holds over 1.2400 with the next resistance at the 1.2450 handle.
*Stocks – Wall Street traded positively (0.03% to 0.36%). US500 at new 2023 high (+0.24%) closed +10.02 pts at 4283, FUTS are trading at 4287, a ninth day above the key resistance at 4175 and a fifth day north of 4200.

Image

*Commodities – USOil – Futures declined into the key $70.00 zone from $74.25 following the OPEC+ production cut announcement on Sunday, before recovering to $71.30 now. Gold – holds the key $1950 handle, and is capped at $1965 highs today.
*Cryptocurrencies–BTC plunged to $25.3k lows following the Binance and Coinbase news, but has recovered to $27k as Altcoins suffer more and Bitcoin gets first mover and largest market cap advantages.

Today – BoC Policy Announcement, remarks from ECB’s de Guindos, Knot & Panetta.

Biggest FX Mover @ (06:30 GMT) NZDJPY (-0.46%) Rejected 85.00 again yesterday and has declined under 84.50 today. MA’s aligning lower, MACD histogram & signal line negative & declining, RSI 31.85 & declining, H1 ATR 0.103, Daily ATR 0.809.
