On November 2, the Federal Reserve will make an update on the interest rate and publish the Rate Statement with commentary on economic conditions that influenced their decision. According to the analysts, the Fed will come up with a 75-basis-points rate hike raising the rate to 4%.
Markets are already pricing in this decision. Thus, all attention will be drawn to Powell's rhetoric regarding the next decision at the December 14 meeting. Currently, the chances of another 75-bps hike in December are estimated by the markets at 50.3%. Another 44.4% relates to a 50-point rate hike. Therefore, the Powell Speech can significantly turn the markets one way or another regarding the future actions of the Fed.
However, despite Powell's remarks, the main driver of dollar volatility will be the NFP and the CPI report on November 4 and November 10, respectively. This time, according to analysts' forecast, 200K new jobs are expected in October, against 260K a month earlier. These are rather low expectations. Therefore, as in previous times, the actual result may exceed expectations and boost the US dollar index in the short term. Nevertheless, we have to mention that the previous three times, the USD has fallen two days after the NFP release.
We expect the US dollar to stay under pressure until the CPI release on November 10. Jerome Powell might give a fresh breath to the stock and crypto markets ahead of the 2022 United States elections on November 8, where all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate will be contested. Moreover, as recent history shows, NFP results might boost the greenback, but it usually falls after.
Thus, until the CPI release, we await a bullish rally in XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD, US100, US500, and crypto coins.
Buyers are trying to push the US500 index above the 3900 resistance. After the breakout, the way to 4075 will be open.
EURUSD broke above the descending trend line and the 50-day moving average. Moreover, at this moment, the price is testing this breakout, and it seems like the retest will be successful. We expect the pair to reverse toward the 100-day MA, which is currently moving between 1.0050 and 1.0090. Moreover, if the price breaks above this MA, it will move higher to 1.0200.
During the Asian session on Wednesday, the USD/CAD pair rebounded after two days of losses, reaching around 1.3590. This uptick is fueled by a stronger US dollar and lower crude oil prices, which put pressure on the Canadian dollar. The decline in Western Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices to approximately $80.70 is attributed to...
Gold prices rose on Monday as the US Dollar weakened amidst speculation about potential Federal Reserve rate cuts starting in June. This weakened Dollar was partly due to improved risk sentiment pushing US Treasury yields lower. Despite facing challenges from declining yields, gold prices recovered to nearly $2,170 per troy ounce, driven by the Dollar's weakness. Federal Reserve Chair...
Canadian retail sales showed a slight rebound in February, rising by 0.1% after a 0.3% drop in January. However, this failed to fully offset the steeper decline earlier in the year, suggesting a weakening momentum in consumer spending. The increase in February was driven by gains in sectors such as sporting goods, hobby retailers, and building materials. Despite the...
Jerome H. Powell, the Federal Reserve chair, stated that the central bank can afford to be patient in deciding when to cut interest rates, citing easing inflation and stable economic growth. Powell emphasized the Fed's independence from political influences, particularly relevant as the election season nears. The Fed had raised interest rates to 5.3 ...
