AUDUSD rises on risk-on mood.

AUDUSD under the bullish pressure today under the effect of the safe-haven outflows from the US. dollar due to the recovery in risk appetite as strong earnings lifted Wall Street stocks. Strong earnings have swept away Delta concerns in the U.S – which added to the bearish pressure n the safe-haven currencies (dollar and the yen). The growing consensus among the fx traders is that the Delta strain does not pose an immediate risk to the recovery but is only delaying reopening at the most as countries accelerate vaccination programmes in response. The pair is also driven up by the risk-on buyers of the Australian dollar – even as coronavirus cases spiked in Australia – highlighting the markets’ dismissal of the Delta strain.

Expect buyers on downward corrections.

USDJPY overview 23.07.2021

USDJPY rises on stronger dollar.

USDJPY under the bullish pressure today as the U.S. dollar climbed to a three-month peak on Tuesday in a flight-to-safety bid, as investors remained worried about a fast-spreading Delta coronavirus variant that could damage global growth. U.S. infections have risen sharply, especially in areas where vaccinations have lagged. At the same time, an unwinding in speculative positions is forcing a short squeeze in currency markets – driving the dollar upward. The safe-haven strengthening in the dollar is reasonable to expect at this moment – considering that global progress has been slow as compared to Q1 so now all valuations and high expectations for growth are being rightly questioned.

Expect buyers on downward corrections.

EURUSD overview 27.07.2021

EURUSD rises on dollar outflows.

EURUSD under the bullish pressure today driven up by the U.S. dollar outflows after US Durable Goods Orders missed estimates with +0.8% in June. The report showed that orders were up 0.8% in June, much worse than the 2.1% expected. The core reading, Nondefense Capital Goods Orders ex Aircraft, surged 0.5% in the same month, also missing the market’s expectations. This led to the knee-jerk outflows from the U.S. dollar. The USD continues to weaken against its rivals after this data and the pair is expected to continue to rise ahead of this week’s U.S. Federal Reserve meeting which should provide clues on when the central bank might rein in its easy monetary policies.

Expect buyers on downward corrections.

USDJPY overview 28.07.2021

USDJPY rises on stronger dollar.

USDJPY under the bullish pressure today driven up by the U.S. dollar positive sentiment ahead of the outcome of a U.S. Federal Reserve meeting. The dollar has enjoyed a month-long rally after a hawkish shift from the Fed in June. Markets are waiting to see whether it will provide any clues on the timing of tapering later in the day amid surging U.S. inflation. The Fed will publish a statement at 1800 GMT today followed by a news conference from Chair Jerome Powell at 1830 GMT. Still, the chances are high that the Fed will not shift policy, given its view that the recent spike in inflation will likely be transitory and worries that growing COVID-19 cases could derail the global recovery.

Expect buyers on downward corrections.

GOLD overview 29.07.2021

Gold rises as rate hike ruled out.

Gold under the strong bullish pressure today after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell reassured investors that a rate hike is not on the cards anytime soon, sending the dollar to multi-week lows. Powell said the U.S. job market still had “some ground to cover” before it will be time to pull back support and the Fed was “ways away” from considering rate hikes. After Powell’s comments, the dollar slipped to a one-month low against its rivals, making gold less expensive for holders of other currencies. The gold is also rising as global demand for gold rose in the second quarter to its highest quarterly level in a year, as central banks and investors increased the purchases.

AUDUSD overview 30.07.2021

AUDUSD falls on weaker China.

AUDUSD under strong bearish pressure today under the effect of the wide-spread Australian dollar pessimism as its largest trade partner China suffers the investors outflows. China shares eye worst month since May 2019 after Beijing's announcement of new rules barring for-profit tutoring in core school subjects resulted in a significant rout in the country's equity markets. An index of emerging market shares fell on Monday as Chinese equities slipped on regulatory concerns, and was set for its worst month since a pandemic-led rout in March last year. The bearish pressure on Chinese equities intensified by severe coronavirus outbreaks in the region. This is translating into the selling pressure on the Australian dollar – as the global proxy of the Chinese-related sentiment.

Expect sellers on upward corrections.

GOLD overview 02.08.2021

Gold falls on improved risk sentiment.

Gold continues to fall today as an increase in appetite for riskier assets weighed on the safe-haven gold. The sentiment across the global financial markets remains upbeat today with European stocks scaling fresh peaks, driven by deal making activity and strong results from Europe’s biggest bank HSBC. Global risks sentiment is also improving on reports that the vaccines currently employed are largely effective again the Delta variant spreading fast across the European continent – meaning its spread will not have significant effect on the economic growth in the region. This is driving safe-haven outflows from Gold into dollar ahead of the non-farm payroll report due on Friday.

BRENT overview 03.08.2021

Oil falls on fears for Delta spread.

Oil under strong bearish pressure, continuing the yesterday’s losses – as trader focus has now fully shifted to the rapidly spreading Delta coronavirus variant. Concerns over the spread of Delta variant in the United States and China, the top oil consumers, is currently the primary factor affecting oil prices. In China, the spread of the variant from the coast to inland cities has prompted authorities to impose strict measures to bring the outbreak under control. Delta-related concerns will likely keep oil markets volatile over the coming weeks. Furthermore, expectations of a return of Iranian crude to the market are also driving the prices down. Iran's new president, Ebrahim Raisi, said on Tuesday his government would take steps to lift "tyrannical" sanctions imposed by the United States on its energy and banking sectors.

Expect sellers on upward corrections.

NZDUSD overview 04.08.2021

NZDUSD surges on rate hike expectations.

NZDUSD under strong bullish pressure today as the result of the widespread New Zealand dollar bearishness after a drop in unemployment in the country raised expectations rate hikes could begin within weeks. The country's central bank had said on Tuesday it would soon begin consulting on ways to tighten mortgage lending standards, as it tries to control an inflated housing market – which removed any doubt that the central bank will soon start raining the interest rates. The pair is also driven up by moderate USD bearishness as the investors are awaiting the publication of the ADP employment survey, ahead of Friday's labour market report.
