Facebook news and optimistic US sales

Latest news

  • Facebook blocked users in Australia from finding or sharing news. That was a move in response to the Australian laws which forced Facebook to pay for news content. Even charities and health departments are blocked, but the social network claimed that it would unblock non-media accounts soon.
  • Bitcoin held above the all-time high of $52 000 the whole Wednesday, but today it slightly dropped.
  • US retail sales came out much better than was expected. As a result, the US dollar surged. Treasury yields keep rising as investors are still betting on the US economic rebound due to the vaccine rollout. The rise in the yields pressed the gold down to November’s lows.
  • US stocks modestly dipped but we can’t claim that the risk-off sentiment came back as commodity prices such as crude oil are still climbing up. In fact, crude oil keeps rising in the US as the deep freeze stopped the oil production and increased the demand for power energy.

Technical analysis

EUR/USD has been moving in an ascending channel since mid-summer. Since it has approached the lower trendline at 1.2030, we can expect the pair to bounce off rather than break out. If it manages to break above the resistance of 1.2100, the way up to the 50-day moving average of 1.2150 will be open.
