Version 1.0 (2024-08-12 15:01:14.238000)

updates: The yen weakened slightly against the dollar due to a Japanese holiday. Better-than-expected US jobs figures caused markets to reduce expectations for rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Leveraged funds' positions in the yen shrank to the smallest net short position since February 2023. Analysts at JP Morgan revised their forecast for the yen to 144 per dollar for the second quarter of next year.

Version 0.96 (2024-08-12 07:07:14.549000)

updates: The US dollar index was slow to start trading in the new week after wild swings over the past five trading days; it floated unchanged at around 103 to 103.20. Last week, the dollar swung sharply, dropping near its 2024 lows of 102.00 before recovering. Inflation data, including the CPI index due on Wednesday, will show whether consumer inflation eased in July. Analysts expect the first dip under 3.0% year-over-year since April 2021. Traders should prepare for elevated volatility and look for trading opportunities.

Version 0.93 (2024-08-11 05:06:22.565000)

updates: Inflation and GDP numbers from Japan could influence the Bank of Japan rate path and USD/JPY trends. US inflation, labor market, and retail sales figures will impact Fed rate cut bets and interest rate differentials between the US and Japan. Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Uchida Shinichi held a press conference assuring the markets of no near-term rate hikes because of current market conditions. On Tuesday, August 13, producer prices will impact the USD/JPY. Economists forecast producer prices to increase by 3.0% year-on-year in July, up from 2.9% in June. On Thursday, August 15, preliminary GDP numbers for Q2 2024 will draw investor interest. Economists expect Japan’s economy to expand by 0.5% in Q2 2024 after a 0.5% contraction in Q1 2024. Rising producer prices and an improving macroeconomic backdrop would boost expectations of a Q4 2024 BoJ rate hike. On Tuesday, August 13, economists expect producer prices to increase by 0.1% in July, following a rise of 0.2% in June. On Wednesday, August 14, the US CPI Report will be a crucial data release. Economists forecast the annual core inflation rate to fall from 3.3% in June to 3.2% in July. On Thursday, August 15, jobless claims data will influence sentiment toward the US economy and the Fed rate path. Economists forecast initial jobless claims to fall from 233k in the week ending August 3 to 232k in the week ending August 10. On Thursday, US retail sales will also need consideration. Economists expect retail sales to increase by 0.3% in July after stalling in June. On Friday, August 16, US consumer confidence will spotlight the US economy. Economists expect the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index to increase from 66.4 in July to 66.7 in August. Near-term USD/JPY trends hinge on inflation numbers from Japan and the US, and US labor market data. Softer US inflation and labor market data could fuel bets on multiple 2024 Fed rate cuts and push the USD/JPY below 145. Moreover, higher producer prices and private consumption numbers from Japan could raise bets on a Q4 2024 BoJ rate hike and signal a USD/JPY drop toward 140. [9d7aad19]

Version 0.79 (2024-07-22 00:59:28.768000)

updates: The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) may influence demand for the AUD/USD on July 22. Economists expect the PBoC to keep the one-year and five-year loan prime rates (LPR) at 3.45% and 3.95%, respectively. A surprise cut to loan prime rates could increase AUD/USD demand. China accounts for one-third of Australian exports, and increased demand from China would improve Australian trade terms and labor market conditions. Weaker Chinese economic growth could raise concerns about trade terms and the Australian economy’s outlook. The Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) will also draw investor interest on July 22. Economists forecast the Index to increase from 0.18 in May to 0.30 in June. A higher-than-forecast CFNAI could support investor hopes of a soft US landing. The AUD/USD could face selling pressure if the CFNAI beats forecasts. Near-term AUD/USD trends hinge on Services PMIs and the US Personal Income and Outlays Report. A more hawkish RBA rate path would signal an AUD/USD move toward $0.70.

updates: The Australian Dollar continues to gain ground. The AUD/USD pair is supported by weaker US Dollar due to decline in US Treasury yields. The AUD/USD forecast took another boost after holding its own well on the back of a hawkish-leaning RBA minutes and hotter-than-expected Australian inflation report. The AUD/USD reached its highest point since January after the weak ADP jobs report and Federal Reserve minutes. The AUD/USD gained strong momentum, reaching new six-month highs. The Australian Dollar held its ground against the USD despite weaker-than-expected Trade Surplus figures. The Australian Dollar appreciates for the fourth successive day as persistently high inflation prompts the RBA to delay potential rate cuts.

updates: The Australian dollar continues to rise on the back of positive economic data and weaker US dollar. The AUD/USD pair is also supported by the decline in US Treasury yields. The AUD reached its highest point since January after weak US jobs data and Federal Reserve minutes. The RBA is expected to delay rate cuts due to persistently high inflation. The Australian dollar is near six-month highs and the next major target is a peak from December last year. Markets are pricing a 33% chance of an RBA rate hike in August and a 73% chance of a September rate cut by the Fed. Yields on 10-year Australian bonds have increased for the week. [00b00be8]

Version 0.61 (2024-07-03 16:56:06.866000)

updates: The AUD/USD forecast took another boost after holding its own well on the back of a hawkish-leaning RBA minutes and hotter-than-expected Australian inflation report last week, after the latest US macro data all pointed to a weakening US economy and boosting the odds of a September Fed rate cut. The US dollar slumped and risk assets rallied on the back of weaker US macro data and signs of a weakening labour market ahead of Friday’s non-farm jobs report. Bad news is good news for risk assets. The AUD/USD forecast already received a boost from the Australian inflation report for May, which came in stronger than expected. The AUD/USD has broken out to hit its best level since January, and if the breakout holds, we may see follow-up technical buying in the days ahead. The technical AUD/USD forecast is aligning with the fundamentals, making it an ideal currency pair to trade on the long side.

updates: The euro has resisted falling to parity with the dollar for now, thanks to a rosier economic backdrop. The most recent round of purchasing manager surveys showed business activity in the euro zone expanded at a faster clip than that in the United States in April for the first time in a year. Some analysts think three cuts from the ECB and no cuts from the Fed this year, bringing the gap to 213 bps, might tip the euro back to parity.
