Market Update – November 2 – Risk Appetite Soured.

Image

* RBA confirms end of yield curve targeting and after abandoning any attempt to defend the 0.1% for the April 2024 yield last week, the bank confirmed today that the yield target has been ditched and opened the door for an earlier interest rate hike.
* Lowe stressed that the bank will see through spikes in the inflation rates, and that unlike elsewhere the RBA sees a further, but gradual increase in core inflation, as there is a lot of inertia in the labour market, which makes it hard to see inflation accelerating too quickly.
* Australian shares fell on Tuesday – Miners and banks worst performers
* AUD tanked as markets adjusted rate hike bets. AUDUSD at 0.7465 from 0.7533.
* US Yields were off their early highs (Currently 10yr fractionally higher at 1.56% compared to the day’s peak at 1.603%).
* USD (USDIndex 93.80) down as US futures in the red after a largely weaker session in Asia despite the strong earnings season. Overnight prices wobbled after the Manchin remarks and mixed data, but all rallied into the close. (A beat from the ISM, but a miss on construction spending, though they still modestly boosted growth prospects).
* The USA100 climbed 0.63% to 15,595, while the USA500 was 0.18% firmer at 4613, while the USA30 advanced 0.26% to 35,913. Treasury revised Q4 borrowings higher to $1,015 bln, with $650 December 31 cash balance, and $476 bln borrowings for Q1 2022. GER30 and UK100 futures are down -0.17% and -0.21%, respectively.
* Senator Manchin continued to oppose a quick vote on President Biden’s massive spending plans, saying he will not vote on a reconciliation package without knowing more about its impacts. He worries over programs that “irresponsibly” add to the debt, which totals over $29 tln, and which risks hurting families that are suffering from “historic inflation.” He said holding the infrastructure bill “hostage” will not get his support for reconciliation.
* USOil topped at $83.05, on slow OPEC oil output increase & China ramped up operating rates to meet a spike in diesel demand.
* Gold – up to 1796.30 again.
* FX markets – AUD sold off, Yen strengthened – EURUSD little changed at just over 1.1605, GBPUSD dropped back to 1.3630. Markets are concerned that an early lift off in rates could hamper a still fragile economy.

Today – Data releases today focus on final manufacturing PMIs for the Eurozone, which were delayed by the public holiday in parts of the region yesterday and employment data from New Zealand.

Biggest FX Mover @ (06:30 GMT) AUDJPY (-0.94%) dips to 1-week lows from 85.90 to 84.80. Faster MAs steadied, MACD signal line & histogram are sharply lower in negative territory, RSI 20 and neutral. H1 ATR 0.186, Daily ATR 0.806.

Date : 3rd November 2021.

Market Update – November 3 – Eyeing FED.

Image

* A global rally in bonds helped knock Treasury rates lower as the markets repriced central bank outlooks, paring some of the more aggressive views on rate hikes. The moves across Treasuries, EGBs, and Asian bonds were precipitated by the RBA’s ending of YYC and push back against expectations for a 2022 tightening.
* Fears of an aggressive FOMC in 2022 were also pared, as were worries over a BoE rate hike as soon as Thursday. – US Yields lower (10yr rate fell to 1.54%).
* USD (USDIndex 94.00) eased as US futures steadiedafter posting new highs – The USA30 rose 0.39% to 36,053, closing over 36k for the first time ever. The USA500 advanced 0.37% to 4630, with the USA100 0.34% firmer at 15,649. GER30 and UK100 futures are down -0.013% and -0.12% respectively.
* Premier Li Keqiang warned that the Chinese economy faces new downward pressure, amid a pick up in Covid-19 case numbers, higher energy prices and supply problems. A strong China services PMI failed to lift confidence.
* USOil down at $81.18, amid some encouraging comments ahead of the OPEC+ meeting, which supported hopes that there will be some sort of agreement on higher outputs after all.
* Tesla’s Elon Musk bemoans German red tape, again – Tesla found a floor at 1145.
* Fired Apple employee files complaint with US labor agency – Apple at 150.00.
* FX markets – USD steady, USDJPY dropped back to 113.82 and AUD and NZD stabilised, after selling off yesterday.

FOMC preview: the Fed will resume its meeting today and announce its decision at 18:00 GMT, to be followed by Chair Powell’s press conference at 18:30 GMT. This meeting does not include the quarterly economic forecasts or dot plots. The announcement of QE tapering is fully anticipated, leaving attention on Powell’s remarks and how he addresses inflation and growth dynamics. We expect he will reiterate the view that inflationary pressures are “transitory,” while acknowledging that prices have been elevated and are likely to remain high but mostly due to the reopenings from the pandemic and supply chain factors. He also should note the slowing in growth as evidenced by the slippage in Q3 GDP to the 2% rate, but again much can be attributed to supply constraints of labor and materials. Powell will not signal any timeframe for rate hikes but will try to downplay risks of a June liftoff while continuing to differentiate tapering from tightening.

Today – Markets are likely to be cautious ahead of the Fed announcement today and the BoE decision tomorrow. Data releases today include the final UK services PMI, as well as Eurozone unemployment data, ECB Lagarde Speech, US ADP and US ISM PMIs.

Image

Interesting Mover @ (06:30 GMT) USOIL (-1%) dips below 81 and S1 extending lower BB downwards. Faster MAs aligned lower, MACD signal line & histogram turned negative, RSI 34 and neutral, while Stochastic dipped to 8 and is sloping down. H1 ATR 0.48, Daily ATR 1.95.

Date : 5th November 2021.

Market Update – November 5 – NFP Day.

Image

Receding fears of aggressive policy turns from the Fed and BoE saw shorts scramble to cover with yields plunging as the markets repriced policy outlooks. Although the FOMC announced tapering and the BoE warned of rate hikes down the road, the more patient stance taken by both banks wrongfooted bond bears and forced a repricing of rate expectations.

* USD up (USDIndex 94.40).
* Yields have backed up with the 10-year Treasury yield at 1.53%, but bonds across the Asia-Pacific region still caught up with yesterday’s rally, and the JGB rate is down -1.1 bp at 0.06.
* Equities were mostly firmer Thursday as well, with the USA100, USA500, GER30, and CAC40 all at record highs. – The equity rally started to stall today. Hang Seng and CSI 300 are currently down -1.2 and -0.3% respectively, JPN225 has lost -0.7%.
* China’s rising Covid-19 case numbers and problems in the country’s property sector remained in focus as developer Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. and its Hong Kong listed units were suspended from trading.
* The RBA’s quarterly policy statement with updated projections sounded upbeat on the recovery, but cautious on wage growth, which backs official assertions that rates won’t rise for a long time to come.
* USOil down at $78 lows after dropping sharply yesterday in the wake of the OPEC+ agreement to stick with the gradual 400K barrels a day increase in production, which boosted speculation that countries will tap their strategic reserves to keep a lid on prices.
* Gold up at 1798 as the falling yields provided support.
* FX markets – USD steady at 94.40 highs, AUD and NZD were under pressure, while the JPY strengthened, leaving USDJPY at 113.61. EURUSD at month low 1.1560 & GBPUSD stabilised at 1.3500.
* USDZAR – dipped early on Friday on elections results, after a volatile week during which it swung back and forth on domestic politics and US monetary policy. – ANC took 46% of the vote, its worst result since taking power at the end of white minority rule in 1994.

Today – The focus turns to the October employment report, where we expect non-farm payrolls to rise 380k versus the 194k in September. Hourly earnings should rise 0.4% after jumping 0.6% previously, while the average work week is seen dipping slightly to 34.7 from 34.8. The unemployment rate is penciled in at an unchanged 4.8%. September consumer credit is due late in the session.

For earnings, reports are due from Berkshire Hathaway, Toyota, Enbridge, Dominion Energy, Johnson Controls, Honda, Sempra, TELUS, Magna International, Ventas, and DraftKings. Next week the refunding auctions are on tap with $120 bln in 3-, 10-, and 30-year paper for sale.

Image

Biggest Mover @ (06:30 GMT) NZDJPY (-0.28%) dipped to 80.43. Faster MAs flattened, MACD signal line & histogram clash but are sharply negative, RSI 38 and neutral, all indicating consolidation for now. H1 ATR 0.133, Daily ATR 0.819.

Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.

Date : 8th November 2021.

Market Update – November 8 – Heavy News Weekend Weighs.

Image

* After records for Equities (440 of S&P500 have reported so far & Q3 Earnings up 41% overall) & a 1-yr high for USDIndex to conclude a huge data week, news flow over the weekend weighs on markets to start the trading week.
* Tesla CEO Musk, via a Twitter poll, asked if he should sell a 10% stake (USD 21bln) in Tesla; 57.9% voted “Yes” with over 3.5mln total votes.
* US House voted to pass $1.2tln bipartisan infrastructure bill late on Friday & sent it to President Biden for signing.
* Chinese trade data showed a larger-than-expected trade surplus & strong exports, but USD-denominated imports missed estimates.
* Some China Evergrande unit offshore bondholders have not received interest payments due Saturday.
UK reportedly prepared to trigger Article 16 of NI agreement & ditch customs checks before Christmas, EU sticking to deal.
———————————————————————————————

* USD (USDIndex 94.22) down from Friday’s 1-yr high 94.62 – post NFP – holds the bid.
* US Yields (10yr crashed into close at 1.453) lifted a tad overnight to 1.46%.
* Equities at all-time highs Friday – USA500 +17 (+0.37%) at 4697 (DOW -0.75%) – Big movers – PFE +10.86%, AirBnB +12.98%, DIS +3.14% – USA500.F back to 4683. Asian equities weaker.
* USOil – bounced Friday from Thursday’s low at $77.15 – rallied again today as ARAMCO increases prices – trading back to $81.00 now from $79.75 close on Friday.
* Gold recovers further from Friday’s breach & break of $1800 as yields remain weak. Touched $1820 today back to $1816 now.
* FX markets – EURUSD 1.1550, Cable 1.3478, USDJPY now 113.57.

European Open The December 10-year Bund future is down 9 ticks, U.S. futures are also losing ground. Markets are still finding a new equilibrium after central banks did their best to slap down overblown tightening expectations for the coming years last week. ECB’s Lane in an interview with a Spain’s El Pais also argued again that the current spike in prices will be temporary and that the central bank should not overreact, as inflation is still projected to undershoot target in the medium term. The DAX and FTSE 100 futures are currently down -0.2% and -0.1% respectively, with a -0.4% correction in the NASDAQ leading US futures lower.

Week Ahead – All about inflation data this week, with FED (and most other CBs) behind the curve – will they have to do more, more quickly, or are they correct in their assessment of the “transitory” nature of inflation? A plethora of central bankers will have the platform this week – kicking off today with 4 from the Fed.

Today – EZ Sentix Index, Fed’s Powell, Evans, Harker, Montgomery; ECB’s Lane

Image

Biggest FX Mover @ (07:30 GMT) NZDCHF (+0.63%) Recovering from Friday low at 0.6460 continues. Strong move over 0.6500 today to test 0.6530. Faster MAs aligned higher, MACD signal line & histogram rising& over 0 line, RSI 67 & rising. H1 ATR 0.0010, Daily ATR 0.0052.

Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.

Date : 9th November 2021.

Market Update – November 9 – USD Cools ahead of Inflation data.

Image

* USD (USDIndex 93.85) down again from Friday’s 1-yr high 94.62, under 94.00. PPI today & CPI tomorrow weigh as equities grind higher & yields slip again. FED Vice-Chair Clarida remained Dovish “a ways away from considering raising interest rates,” although “necessary conditions for raising the target range for the federal funds rate will have been met by year-end 2022.” Bullard & Bowman much more Hawkish; “If inflation is more persistent than we are saying right now, then I think we may have to take a little sooner action in order to keep inflation under control.”
* Evergrande contemporary Kaisa needs “help”, downgraded by Fitch; Fed warns “ailing Chinese real estate sector poses threat to US economy” – FT
* US Yields (10yr closed down again at 1.474%) lifted a tad overnight to 1.497%, below key 1.50 level.
* Equities at all-time highs again but limited gains – USA500 +4.17 (+0.09%) at 4701 – Big movers – TSLA -4.84%, AMD +10.14%, AMC +8.06%. Softbank, PayPal, Roblox, Tencent and Zynga all beat Earnings expectations – USA500.F back to 4686. Asian equities weaker.
* USOil – slips below $81.00 to $80.65. Biden may act on high US Gasoline prices – speaking with OPEC+ re output, Private Inventories later today.

* FX markets – EURUSD up to 1.1600, USDJPY under 113.00, @112.80 & Cable up to 1.3570.

Overnight – JPY data mixed; Earnings & Current Account weaker than expected, Lending and Econ. Sentiment significantly higher. JPY recovers recent losses. German Trade Balance missed – Exports declined -0.7% while Imports nudged up 0.1%, suggesting more weakness.

European Open – Dec 10-yr Bund future up 1 tick, DAX & FTSE 100 futures down -0.2% & -0.3% respectively, US futures also in red, after a largely weaker session across the Asia-Pacific region overnight.

Date : 10th November 2021.

Market Update – November 10 – Inflation, Oil & Yields.

Image

* USD (USDIndex 94.09) recovers 94.00, PPI in-line with exceptions but Chinese PPI hit an all-time (26-yr) high +13.5%% & CPI doubled last month to 1.5%. Equities slip from key levels, yields decline to 6-wk lows and Oil rallied. FedSpeak dominated by Doves yesterday but calling caution on inflation – nothing new from Powell, Lagarde or Bailey. Brainard apparently interviewed for FED Chair, Biden cranks up gasoline plan & plans to video meet with Xi next week, Musk “lost” $50bn.
* Evergrande $148m interest payment due today & contemporary Fantasia needs “help”. This isn’t going away as the Chinese authorities (in the middle of reappointing Xi) may have hoped for.
* US Yields (10yr closed down again at 1.432%) having hit a 6-week low at 1.4150 yesterday as the Auction was filled at 1.44% (1.58% – last time) back to 1.46% now.
* Equities down failing to hold key levels. USA500 -16.00 (-0.35%) at 4685 – Big movers; TSLA -11.99%, PayPal -10.46%, VISA -3.22%, AMZN +2.5%. GE (once the world biggest company) to split into 3. USA500.F trades lower at 4677. Asian equities weaker again on Chinese data.
* USOil – rallies on drawdown in private inventories compared to a build. Spiked over $83.00 to 6-day high $83.25. Biden may act on high US Gasoline prices.
Gold recovers further testing as high as $1833 on open as Inflation hedge trade builds, back to $1824 now.
* FX markets – EURUSD down to 1.1565, USDJPY back over 113.00, from 112.80 lows & Cable back to 1.3550 having rejected 1.3600. AUD & NZD at 4-wk low.

European Open – December 10-yr Bund future fractionally lower, Treasury futures underperforming. Yields are off session highs, but after bonds were surprisingly firm in the wake of yesterday’s US PPI, there is likely some caution ahead of the key US CPI later today.

Today – US CPI & Weekly Claims, ECB’s Elderson, – US & CAD closed tomorrow for Veterans Day.

Image

Biggest FX Mover @ (07:30 GMT) NZDCAD (-0.44%) Chinese and Oil news combine to move pair lower. Collapsed from 0.8920 to 0.8820 before finding some support. Faster MAs aligned lower, MACD signal line & histogram falling & under 0 line, RSI 34 & recovering from 19.00 lows. H1 ATR 0.0011, Daily ATR 0.0062.

Date : 11th November 2021.

Market Update – November 11 – Boom goes the Greenback.

Image

* USD (USDIndex 94.86) spiked to 94.96 (July 2020 high). US Inflation at 30-yr high – USD & Gold rocket, Yields rise and stocks sink. Weekly Claims in-line at pandemic lows. Musk has sold $5bln of #TSLA stock this week, (3% of the 10%) TSLA closed +4.34% yesterday. US & China agree surprise pact at COP26, Biden has a plan to “reduce high energy costs”. Overnight – AUD jobs & GBP GDP both missed & UK Industrial & manu. data also weak.
* Evergrande $148m interest payment was PAID – avoiding immediate default. Next payment due December 28 – $255m. They have total debts of $300bln ($19bln due outside of China).
* US Yields (10yr rallied to close up at 1.56%, a 7-week high, from the a 6-week low at 1.4150 Tuesday. Treasury markets closed today for Veterans Day.
* Equities down in worse day in a month. USA500 -38.5 (-0.82%) at 4646 – Big movers; TSLA +4.34%, PFE +3.64%, Ford -3.78% GOOGL -2.03%. Disney missed (DIS+ subscriptions & Theme parks) – 4.5% after hours. USA500.F trades lower at 4650. Asian equities weaker (ASX worst – Nikkei actually +ve on weak JPY) .
* USOil – off 7-year highs on Biden’s comments – Inventories – a smaller build than expected 1.0 m vs 1.6m & 3.3m last week – USOil fell to 79.50. Trades at $80.00 now.
* Gold recovers further testing as high as $1870 yesterday (5-mth high) as Inflation hedge trade builds, back to $1856 now.
* FX markets – EURUSD down to 1.1470, USDJPY back over 114.00, & Cable back to 1.3385. AUD & NZD at 5-wk low.

European Open – December 10-yr Bund future is down -31 ticks at 170.38; That will leave European markets to continue to digest yesterday’s hot US inflation number & continue to adjust rate hike expectations, which have come back with a vengeance. The spike in bond market volatility over the past month highlights that central bankers need to adjust their communication policy as the rate cycle turns & that repeating the mantra that inflation pressures will be temporary are no longer enough to soothe nerves. DAX & FTSE 100 futures currently down -0.2% and up 0.1% respectively.

Stocks mixed, Asian markets firmer, Treasury futures re-open positively. Next milestone – US Retail Sales on Tuesday (8.5-10% increase?). German Wholesale prices much hotter than expected (+0.6% vs 0.4% & 0.2% last time) . Xi Ping the new “helmsman”, Russia & Ukraine issues swirl.
* US Yields (10yr trades at 1.566%, up 1.7bp after Thursday’s holiday.
* Equities mixed, Dow -0.44%, NASDAQ +0.52% USA500 +2.5 (+0.06%) at 4649 – Big movers; TSLA rival RIVN +22%, FreeportMc +9%, GM & NVidia both +4.3%, Disney -7%. USA500.F trades lower at 4646.
* USOil – struggles & fails to hold $80.00, on the stronger USD & OPEC cutting its 2021 oil demand forecast due to high prices.
* Gold holds at highs too at $1857 now. A close over the psychological $1850 tonight would be 7 consecutive days of gains, something it hasn’t done since July 2020. Then it rallied from under $1800 to $1970 in 8 consecutive days, & topped at $2072 6 days later.
* FX markets – EURUSD down to 1.1435 earlier, lifted to 1.1450, USDJPY back over 114.00, & Cable back to 1.3385. AUD & NZD at 5-wk low.

European Open – German 10-yr Bund future up 12 ticks at 170.54, alongside broad gains in Treasury futures. DAX & FTSE 100 futures up 0.1% & US futures outperforming slightly, though there is some lingering anxiety on US warnings of a potential Russian invasion in Ukraine. Inflation concerns also continue to linger, as markets try to map out the future ECB path based on CB comments & official forecast. For BoE, the weaker than expected GDP print yesterday has seen markets scaling back rate hike expectations. Do arguments for an early move remain valid?

Today – EZ Industrial Production, US JOLTS, Uni. of Michigan, ECB’s Lane, Fed’s Williams.

* USD (USDIndex 02) spiked to 95.25 (new 16-mth high) on Friday. The consumer sentiment data (10-yr low)and JOLTS provided mixed views, with confidence plunging, 1-year inflation rising, and a slip in job openings, but a record 4.4 mln workers quitting their jobs.

* Japan Q3 contracted -0.8% q/q, much more than anticipated -add to speculation that Kisihida will provide a big stimulus package to support the economy.
* US Yields(10yr trades at 55%, down 0.9bp). Treasury yields have taken a break from their manic gains seen last week, supportive of the equity market, while hopes that inflation is temporary, and that supply chains will improve into the new year have helped investor sentiment as well.

Toshiba TOSYY 1.43% said it planned to split into three by March 2024 in response to shareholder pressure for a more-focused structure, following a similar path taken by fellow industrial conglomerate General Electric Co.
* US-EU: agreed to end a festering dispute over US steel and aluminum tariffs imposed in 2018, removing a burden on transatlantic relations and averting a spike in EU retaliatory tariffs. – tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% aluminum, while allowing “limited volumes” of EU-produced metals into the United States duty-free.

Date : 17th November 2021.

Market Update – November 17 – USD at 1-yr high with Stocks mix.

Image

* USDIndex up and currently settled at 96.25, after hawkish Fed Bullard and strong retail sales, production and trade prices.

* Solid data, along with bullish equity outlooks from Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, all aided sentiment yesterday.
