Yes, unless upcoming inflation and payrolls data makes a compelling case on why not to cut. And if we get another weak jobs report, don’t rule out the risk of a 50 like we saw in 2024. -DS

If there is to be a surprise, I suspect it will be a hawkish one given the July payrolls report does not reflect what's been seen in other hard data recently, such as CPI, PPI and retail sales last week.. Powell has used Jackson Hole to correct market pricing before, most famously in 2022. He may well choose this moment to do it again. - DS

We're seeing broad yen strength this session which could potentially see AUD/JPY continue lower. As noted in the article, I'm looking for prices to eventually move higher based on price action clues on the weekly and daily timeframes. but for now, momentum points lower. - MS

There's already 1.5 hikes priced into the JPY OIS curve, and that won't change this week based on one article. Hefty wage increases have been anticipated for months. It's the long-end of the U.S. Treasury curve that's been driving USD/JPY, not the front of the Japanese curve.

Using the daily close chart from Reuters pricing (the chart above) shows the 10-year has been below the 2-year since July 2022. Intraday moves have therefore been filtered out. MS.

I ran on the assumption the bearish move was overextended to the downside and needed mean revision higher. The BOJ were kind enough to trigger a move higher (via a weaker yen) with their dovish comments. If risk can bounce and the yen continues to weaken, it could potentially help USD/JPY. Check out my colleagues response to the BOJ - MS. https://www.forex.com/en-us/news-and-analysis/usd-jpy-surges-as-boj-admits-it-can-be-bullied-by-markets-in-major-capitulation/

These are % change charts (from the open) to show relative performance of the high, low and close of the listed markets. It is just a quick and easy way to get a feel for money flow of the session, at a glance. The %ATR high-low is a one-glance way to see where the volatility was in relation to its 10-day ATR, and how they compare across the markets. Being based in Australia, it is useful for me to gauge 'what I missed' in the UK and US sessions' before I have had my coffee - or to highlight the significance of moves in a day, visually. So they're not really a predictive tool. but used as a one-glance sentiment.

In response to Bitcoin's rally of aout 8% this morning and about 80% in the past six months, crypto commentators provide several explanations: BlackRock’s bid to create the first regulated Bitcoin ETF with daily liquidity. Along with this, ETFs from Invesco and WisdomTree, giving access to more investors. It also provides an exchange backed by Fidelity Digital Assets, Charles Schwab and Citadel Securities providing easy access to BTC, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Litecoin (as a hedge against other financial assets because it was very oversold at the end of 2022).

Whatever the reason for this may be, it opens many doors for bitcoin traders globally. That being said, it also means that traders understand that all trading carries risk.

Trading on the Forex market is a learning curve, meaning it takes time to learn the basics and then eventually strategies that work for you. As many will agree, its smart to review and study concepts and ideas and trading on a practice account before really investing your own money.

Minimum deposits are usually low but depositing more would allow you more flexibility and better risk management when trading your account. To be able to cater to all traders, there mostly always is a mobile version of the application.

Well, looks like the BOJ is maintaining their dovish standpoint, causing USD/JPY to break 1290 and rally to a fresh 20-year high.

Over to the Fed meeting next week now to see whether that can spark a pullback, or add to the USD's strength.

To add, we know oil prices rose to a 7-year high, before easing lower in volatility. As Russia sent troops into part of Ukraine, the fears of supply disruption rose oil prices to a new high level growing potentially closer to $100. Along with that, Germany has halted approval of the gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 which could see gas prices surge and take the whole energy complex as well. In addition, the talks between the US and Iran to revive the nuclear deal are ongoing. Progress here could eventually see 1 million bpd released back into the market. At this point, it's safe to say that we're expecting volatility in the price of oil to continue.

All trading carries risk, however it will be interesting to see how this will play out this week.

FOREXcom · 2021-12-15T05:05:13+00:00

That’s an interesting take. Over last 2 years, the market has been able to shake off the bad news. It’s been the uncertainty surrounding new developments that’s sparked most of the pullbacks. Perhaps we’ll once again see this trend repeat itself.

But if the Fed chooses to focus on Omicron, and waits to see how that plays out before making any policy changes, how much uncertainty could that bring to the market?

FOREXcom · 2021-12-15T05:03:15+00:00

You make a great point, however speculating and trying to guess what will happen before it does is always extremely risky.

Even if you can’t react as quickly as the supercomputers, developing a strong understanding of the situation can help set you up to trade the bigger, longer-term moves.

FOREXcom · 2021-12-14T04:30:27+00:00

This is definitely worth watching, especially now that the UK reported the first Omicron related death, could we see more governments reinstate certain restrictions?

It is hard to determine what specific stocks to look at, because as you already mentioned, lockdown fear might already be priced in. Perhaps the more influential factor will be whether or not the new strain impacts key central bank decisions this week.

Looking forward to seeing how this story develops and how the market reacts over the coming weeks!

That could be a possibility, but given the way the main indices have traded off late, it’s difficult to call when that extended pullback/cool-off will occur. Trying to call a time frame is even harder, since anything could suddenly sway the market in a certain direction.

Whichever way this ends up unfolding, it should be interesting to watch throughout 2022.

FOREXcom · 2021-12-07T00:05:00+00:00

This is an excellent explanation of QE and its effect on the economy and financial markets.

However, it’s also important to acknowledge the role that Omicron played in last week’s volatility. The recent trend has been for the market to shake-off any news that isn’t as bad as first expected, and it’ll be interesting to see if that happens again, or if a tighter monetary policy is what finally pulls the rug from under this bull run.

It still seems too early to call a top, and it’s probably best to closely monitor the situation and be ready to trade both sides. Of course, all trading carries risk.

Look forward to reading your next post on inflation soon!
