DAX in Bull Market, ECB Stimulus is Coming, However, Beware of Volatility Spikes

DAX Posts Best Month Since Q1 2018

Expectations for looser monetary policy from the likes of the Fed and ECB, alongside a ceasefire in the US-China trade war has seen the DAX recoup its losses from May, posting its best monthly performance since the beginning of 2018. On a stock specific basis, the best individual performers within the DAX had been Bayer, which saw activist investors Elliot Advisors disclose a EUR 1.1bln stake, while the company had also benefitted from reports that the company may be open to a quicker than expected settlement over glyphosate cases.

ECB Preparing to Deliver Fresh Stimulus

In response to the plummet in market-based inflation expectations, ECB President Draghi stated at the Sintra Forum that unless economic conditions in the Euro-Area had improved, the central bank would be open to fresh policy stimulus via rate cuts and a restarting of QE. Consequently, Draghi had seemingly placed a low bar in which the ECB will ease monetary policy further, thus the DAX is back in a bull market (rising over 20% since December 2018 lows). Alongside this, eyes will be on the July meeting in which the ECB could lay the foundations for a round of fresh easing at the September meeting. Of note, money markets are fully pricing at least a 10bps rate cut in the depo rate at the September meeting.

Beware of Low Equity Market Volatility

As the DAX has continued to grind higher, the DAX implied volatility index (VDAX) has edged lower, hovering around very subdued levels once again. While seasonal factors, such as moving into the summer lull can be partly to blame here, there is a risk of potential complacency, which sees traders underpricing risks in the form of slowing global growth. As such, eyes will be on the lookout for a spike in the volatility index, which could spark a pullback in the index.

EURUSD Price Outlook Poor on Slow Growth, Lagarde Nomination

Posted: 03 Jul 2019 03:12 AM PDT

Hits: 9


EUR price, news and analysis:

  • Eurozone purchasing managers index data for June suggest only minimal economic growth in the region.
  • Moreover, Christine Lagarde, who has been nominated to be the next President of the European Central Bank, is regarded as a monetary policy dove.
  • Taken together, that suggests further short-term losses for the Euro.

EURUSD price outlook: further weakness possible

The final Eurozone composite purchasing managers index (PMI) edged ahead to 52.2 in June, better than both the "flash" reading of 52.1 and May's final 51.8. However, that still suggests minimal economic growth in the bloc.

"The June PMI surveys indicate that the pace of Eurozone economic growth picked up at the end of the second quarter, though it would be wrong to get overly excited by the upturn," commented Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at IHS Markit, which compiles the data.

"The survey is indicative of GDP merely rising by just over 0.2% in the second quarter, and a deterioration of business expectations for the year ahead to one of the lowest seen for over four years suggests the business mood remains sombre. Downside risks to the outlook prevail amid trade war worries, rising geopolitical uncertainty and slowing global economic growth," he added.

The PMI data in full are shown in the following table from the DailyFX calendar:

Lagarde seen as monetary policy dove

Meanwhile Christine Lagarde, who has been nominated for the position of President of the European Central Bank (ECB), will likely continue with the dovish policy stance of current chief Mario Draghi. Subject to approval by the European Parliament, Lagarde will succeed Draghi when his term expires at the end of October.

Lagarde, a French lawyer and politician, is currently Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund and was previously French Finance Minister. She is not an economist or monetary policy expert.

Taken together, Lagarde's nomination and the PMI data suggest that EURUSD could continue to fall short-term within the upward-sloping channel on the charts.

Risk of Bearish Breakdown on Flash Crash Trendline Break

GBPUSD Analysis and News

  • GBP Remains Soft as Service Sector Nears Stagnation
  • GBPUSD Outlook: Flash Crash Trendline Holds for Now

Check out our Fundamental and Technical Q3 forecast guide for GBPUSD

GBP Remains Soft as Service Sector Nears Stagnation

GBP remains on defensive across the board with GBPUSD hovering around session lows, while EURGBP continues to edge higher as UK services PMI dropped to 50.2, missing expectations of 51. Consequently, the composite figure fell into contractionary territory at 49.7, which marked the lowest reading since the immediate aftermath of the Brexit referendum. In turn, IHS Markit stated that the combined PMI surveys indicate that Q2 growth could show a contraction of 0.1%. As such, this is likely to confirm BoE Governor Carney's recent comments that Q2 growth is set to be considerably weaker. Thus, the outlook for the Pound remains tilted on the downside, particularly with the Bank of England providing a more cautious outlook. Of note, the next GDP release is scheduled for July 10th, however, keep in mind that this is a monthly reading for May.

GBPUSD Outlook: Flash Crash Trendline Holds for Now

As political and economic risks keep the Pound on the backfoot, the trendline stemming from the Sterling October 2016 flash has continued to support the currency. However, with downside pressures continuing to mount, eyes are on for a break below, which could exacerbate further losses in the pair with a move towards the 1.25 handle possible, before the YTD low (1.2435)

Chart by IG

What Does Positioning Tell us About the Direction in GBPUSD?

Data shows 76.3% of traders are net-long with the ratio of traders long to short at 3.22 to 1. In fact, traders have remained net-long since May 06 when GBPUSD traded near 1.29202; price has moved 2.6% lower since then. The percentage of traders net-long is now its highest since Jun 21 when GBPUSD traded near 1.27426. The number of traders net-long is 9.3% higher than yesterday and 14.8% higher from last week, while the number of traders net-short is 11.1% lower than yesterday and 1.9% lower from last week.

We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact traders are net-long suggests GBPUSD prices may continue to fall. Traders are further net-long than yesterday and last week, and the combination of current sentiment and recent changes gives us a stronger GBPUSD-bearish contrarian trading bias.

Gold Price Gains May Be Capped as US Dollar Haven Demand Returns

Posted: 03 Jul 2019 01:16 AM PDT

Hits: 14


CRUDE OIL & GOLD TALKING POINTS:

  • Gold prices shot higher as BOE's Carney spooked financial markets
  • Crude oil prices sank in risk-off trade, validating bearish chart cues
  • Services ISM data may boost global slowdown fears, lift US Dollar

Gold prices shot higher while bond yields dropped as Bank of England Governor Mark Carney spooked the markets, saying the outlook for economic growth is "considerably weaker" in the second quarter as global trade tensions increase downside risks. That bolstered the appeal of non-interest-bearing assets epitomized by the yellow metal.

The risk-off jolt also weighed on cycle-sensitive crude oil prices. A broader market-wide selloff did not materialize however, with stocks recovering into the session close after a brief downswing as Mr Carney's ominous remarks fueled Fed rate cut speculation once again. The priced-in 2019 policy path implied in Fed Funds futures tellingly tilted toward the dovish side of the spectrum as he spoke.

GOLD MAY NOT CAPITALIZE AS ISM DATA STOKES GLOBAL SLOWDOWN FEARS

Looking ahead, the US services ISM survey takes top billing. It is expected to show that growth in the economy's largest sector slowed in June after brief rebound from two-year lows in the prior month. US data flow has tended to undershoot baseline forecasts since the beginning of the year, warning that analysts' models are overly rosy and setting the stage for a disappointing outcome.

Tellingly, yesterday's rise in Fed stimulus bets did not translate into notable US Dollar weakness. That seems to endorse the idea that markets have already priced in about as much FOMC stimulus as can probably occur, allowing the Greenback to benefit from liquidity demand amid de-risking once again. This means that a soft ISM print that amplifies global slowdown fears might well drive it higher.

Gold prices might have a hard time extending upward in this scenario as the benchmark currency's resilience undercuts the appeal of anti-fiat alternatives. Still lower bond yields may limit downside progression all the same however. Crude oil prices may succumb to risk-off pressure in a more straightforward way, though EIA inventory data may limit losses if it echoes API reports of a 4.97-million-barrel drawdown last week.

Get the latest crude oil and gold forecasts to see what will drive prices in the third quarter!

GOLD TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Gold prices rebounded from support guiding them higher since late May, scoring the largest one-day rise in three years. Resistance marked by the confluence of the August 2013 high the underside of support-turned-resistance set from December 2016 at 1433.85 is back under pressure, with a daily close above that opening the door to probe past the $1500/oz figure. Trend line support is now at 1388.02. A move below that eyes a dense support bloc running through 1346.75.

CRUDE OIL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Crude oil prices turned lower as expected, breaking support at 57.24. Sellers now aim to challenge the 54.55-55.37 area, with a further breach of that targeting the 50.31-51.33 zone. Alternatively, a turn back above resistance at 57.88 opens the door for a retest of the 60.39-95 region.

Opportunity for S&P 500 Rally to Record, Dollar Recovery Facing Liquidity Wall

Posted: 03 Jul 2019 12:03 AM PDT

Hits: 10


Dollar Talking Points:

  • Following Monday’s gap to a fresh record high, the S&P 500 has offered no sign of follow through with an ‘inside day’ Tuesday
  • There is plenty of notably event risk for the Dollar (trade balance for trade wars, ISM services for GDP), but traction is unlikely
  • If we are looking for markets that overcome the condtional limitations, Gold and USDCAD may prove the most potent

Hitting the Key Fundamental Themes Just Without Power

We have seen considerable changes in the fundamental undercurrent of the financial system these past months. From a (perceived) Fed policy course reversal to the G-20’s (perceived) relief between the US and China on trade, and then the unmistakable reminder of economic trouble in PMI figures to start this week; there has been plenty to both tease speculation and stoke fear. We continue to take in meaningful updates on these systemic fronts, but the scope of the news doesn’t seem to match the restraint that is threatened by the liquidity drain on Thursday.

We can already see the tempering effects of thinning market depth as we march inevitably towards the Independence Day holiday. The S&P 500 having started off this week with an incredible gap to a record high with Monday’s open has since lost all traction. Tuesday’s trading session would not overtake either the low or high of the previous session – what is considered an ‘inside day’. A similar cap to progress has shown through across global indices, emerging markets and the more deeply discounted Yen crosses (carry trade). Commodities and sovereign bond yields, which hold a greater deference to growth as a facet to sentiment, have reengaged their bearish course. Volatility measures in the meantime are dropping back towards multi-month lows even though their standard forecast period is 30 days.

Chart of S&P 500 and VIX (Daily)

In fundamental terms, the past session managed to tap the previously mentioned, top three themes. For trade wars, we haven’t seen any further developments between US and China, but Huawei’s founder has said President Trump’s decision to lift the ban on US companies selling products to the Chinese telecom would have little impact on its performance. Meanwhile, the US Trade Representative’s office published a list of $4 billion in additional possible tariffs against the EU – to add to April’s $21 billion – in the ongoing spat between Boeing and Airbus. For monetary policy, a top Fed hawk (Mester) urged holding off on hikes as they could cause imbalances if pursued to early; but she is definitely in the minority. Then there is GDP with measures like the NYC business activity forecast which hit a 10-year low Tuesday.

Dollar Will Host Key Event Risk but Is Still Beholden to Liquidity Restraints

With the US market’s offline for Thursday and government agencies similarly closed, the data that would normally fall on that day is either pushed forwards or backwards. Wednesday’s docket is unmistakably heavy. Trimming it down to the top three release on tap, number three is the ADP private payrolls report for June. This is a lead in to Friday’s nonfarm payrolls for the same month. This indicator itself however is not known to significant move the Dollar or capital markets. Second place goes to the May trade balance. This is not often a big market mover in and of itself, but the implications of trade wars and the connection to obviously flagging growth as well as motivation for the Fed to act are lines that are too readily drawn nowadays in the mainstream.

Opportunity for S&P 500 Rally to Record, Dollar Recovery Facing Liquidity Wall

Top event risk for Wednesday for the Greenback is the ISM non-manufacturing survey – essentially service sector activity. Much was made of the manufacturing equivalent to start the week, and rightfully so given how poor its release was. However, in terms of influence, the United States is far and away driven by its service-based economy. Despite the late hour of liquidity, if this particular reading were to offer a significant decline through the past month, it could raise fears of stalled growth and perhaps muster enough fear to override the natural lethargy that sets in around this time.

If the market doesn’t cue up anything with extreme inference, the focus will then turn to anticipation for Friday’s run. While there are a few readings of merit, it is clearly the June employment report that should earn the market’s undivided attention. Given the assumptions of an impending rate cut from the Fed this month and the awareness of unflattering growth readings, this favorite indicator could present serious leverage either way.

Volatility for Gold and Concentrated Event Risk Between USDCAD Deserve Proper Observation

As we see most assets settle into a comfortable holiday rhythm, there are a select few assets that seem to be ignoring the siren call. One such market is gold’s exceptional volatility this week. The precious metal posted its sharpest single-day loss since November 2016 on Monday, to threaten the impressive bull run we’ve seen develop these past months. However, the retreat wouldn’t surpass a Fib and former resistance, instead using it as a spring board. What resulted was the biggest single-day rally since October 11th. There is certainly fundamental background to justify the general bull trend, but this recent swell of activity is likely volatility catering to more volatility. It will struggle to keep this tempo – but not necessarily bearing.

Opportunity for S&P 500 Rally to Record, Dollar Recovery Facing Liquidity Wall

In the FX markets, the pair with most provocative backdrop for volatility through the second half of this week is undoubtedly USDCAD. The technicals are themselves interesting. The drop we’ve witnessed these past weeks has built up remarkable steam and now spot is stretched significantly below the 200-day moving average with a confluence of support to be spotted around 1.3050/00. Today, we are looking at a range of updates, but the simultaneous release of US and Canadian trade statistics can draw considerable interest. That said, if we are looking to history of sheer market impact that would have to go to the tandem release of government jobs figures from both on Friday. We discuss all of this and more in today’s Trading Video.

USDCAD May Be Major Most Capable of Overcoming Holiday Trade

Posted: 02 Jul 2019 08:57 PM PDT

Hits: 10


USDCAD Talking Points:

  • Liquidity is quickly fading into Thursday’s US Independence Day market holiday – a curb that is typically global in impact
  • For USDCAD, simultaneous trade figures on Wednesday and tandem employment updates on Friday can potentially amplify price movement
  • Retail positioning in USDCAD has seen through the IGCS a rapid build up in long interest for the heaviest net long in many months

See how retail traders are positioning in USDCAD, USDCHF and USDJPY along with the other major Dollar-based majors usingthe DailyFX speculative positioning data on the sentiment page.

If there is one principle consideration to account for as we navigate through the second half of the trading week, it would be liquidity. There is a known curb on market turnover in Thursday’s US market holiday – the Independence Day holiday or ‘Fourth of July’. While it is technically only the US exchanges that are offline that day, it represents a significant enough segment of the global speculative rank that it typically suppresses most efforts to generate sustained volatility or carry forward any meaningful trends.

Yet, just because the Americans aren’t around doesn’t mean that the markets will simply hold inert in the face of meaningful – and particularly unexpected – developments. If we see headlines that dramatically alter the outlook for global growth, monetary policy or trade wars; impact could meet shallow market depth to the result of severe but short-lived moves in target assets. We should never presume that probably means certainty when it comes to seasonal distortions like these.

While liquidity is technically only truly capped on Thursday, market expectations traditionally curb activity in the day preceding the drain as participants look to take off what they deem as excess risk that would be prone to volatility during the downtime. Further, since the holiday falls on a Thursday this year in the middle of the Summer doldrums, it is very likely that Friday will be treated as an extended holiday weekend. That is as much ‘self-fulfilling’ anticipation as practical conditional adjustment.

Chart of Average Monthly S&P 500 Performance and Volume Since 1980

In trading through the latter half of this week, it is simply more reasonable to spot opportunities that could reasonably play out in constrained conditions. Modest ranges are the most practical scenario to monitor for given this backdrop. However, I know the pull that volatility has on the speculative rank. If we are looking for the most concentrated opportunity for activity to fight the dying light of activity for this week, it would undoubtedly be USDCAD.

On a technical basis, this pair has experienced a significant tumble this past month that followed clearance of a diminishing wedge within a much longer rising trend channel. After dropping 1.3400 and then using the former support as new resistance, the pair went for stumbled over 300 points lower. In the process, the market slid through the 200-day moving average and pushed its bearish deviation to that longer-term trend measure to its most extreme since early 2018. At the moment there is a collection of technical figures that we are facing in the 1.3050/80 vicinity – a range low back to November and proximate Fibonaccis in the 38.2% Fib of the 2016 peak to 2017 trough and 38.2% Fib of the bull run from that same 2017 low to this year’s high.

USDCAD May Be Major Most Capable of Overcoming Holiday Trade

What makes the USDCAD further unique is the level of event risk the pair faces. While the top listing for the US Dollar today is the ISM service sector (non-manufacturing) report as it represents the largest overall segment of GDP, there will be particular influence for this specific pair in the simultaneous release of May trade figures from the United States and Canada. The same concerted release factor will be in play on Friday as well. June employment data from both countries are set to cross the wires at 12:30 GMT. Both are well-known market movers for their respective currencies when the print deviates from forecasts.

USDCAD May Be Major Most Capable of Overcoming Holiday Trade

A final consideration of interest is the market’s take on the USDCAD’s prospects. Though prone to picking tops and bottoms, retail FX traders are certainly mounting an exceptional effort for USDCAD following its drop. Looking at the IGCS (IG Client Sentiment) data, we find that there has been an explosion of long positions these past weeks which has pushed the net speculative positioning among this faction of traders to the most extreme long view that we have seen in a long time. We focus on USDCAD in this short video.

Is Kiwi Dollar Ready to Turn Lower?

NZDUSD Technical ANALYSIS: NEUTRAL

  • New Zealand Dollar rejected at chart resistance near three-month high
  • Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern hints a top may have been formed
  • Confirmation of reversal needs break of rising trend line from mid-June

See our free trading guide to help build confidence in your NZDUSD trading strategy!

The New Zealand Dollar put in a Bearish Engulfing candlestick pattern on a retest of support-turned-resistance in the 0.6699-0.6727 area, hinting that the upswing of mid-June lows may have topped. Initial support line in the 0.6653-73 zone, with a break below that on a daily closing basis opening the door for another challenge of the 0.6575-91 region.

A look at more immediate positioning on the four-hour chart warns against overextrapolation however. Prices are resting at rising trendline support defining the bounds of the latest upside foray, warning that a convincing reversal is yet to be confirmed. Indeed, a bounce from support may yet materialize, with a push above the 0.6682-85 price band putting the June high at 0.6727 back in focus.

New Zealand Dollar vs US Dollar chart - 4 hour

On balance, this makes for conflicted direction cues and hints that traders might opt against showing strong commitment one way or another until greater clarity can be had. A break below trend support – now at 0.6645 – would begin to resolve the matter in sellers' favor. Alternatively, a daily close above last month's swing top would invalidate topping cues and set the stage for upward continuation.

EURUSD Rate Pullback Stalls Despite Dovish ECB Forward Guidance

Posted: 02 Jul 2019 05:48 PM PDT

Hits: 12


EUR/USD Rate Talking Points

The recent pullback in EURUSD appears to be stalling ahead of the US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, with the exchange rate at risk of exhibiting a more bullish behavior over the coming days as it struggles to extend the string of lower highs and lows from earlier this week.

EURUSD Rate Pullback Stalls Despite Dovish ECB Forward Guidance

EURUSD struggled to hold its ground as the European Union nominates International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde to replace European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi, and it remains to be seen if the Governing Council will implement more non-standard measures ahead of the upcoming transition as the central bank prepares to launch another round of Targeted Long-Term Refinance Operations (TLTRO) in September.

Recent comments from ECB board member Philip Lane suggest the central bank will take additional steps to insulate the monetary union as "an extended phase of below-target inflation poses a communication challenge in maintaining focus on the medium-term inflation goal." As a result, it seems as though the ECB will continue to push monetary policy into unchartered territory as Mr. Lane insists that the Governing Council "can add further monetary accommodation if it is required to deliver our objective."

The dovish forward guidance for monetary policy undermines the broader outlook for EURUSD as there appears to be a growing discussion at the ECB to implement a negative interest rate policy (NIRP) for the Main Refinance Rate, its flagship benchmark for borrowing costs, but the Governing Council may keep monetary policy on auto-pilot ahead of President Draghi's departure at the end of October especially as the Euro area shows limited signs of an imminent recession.

In turn, the Federal Reserve interest rate decision on tap for July 31 may play an increased role in dictating EURUSD volatility as Fed Fund futures still highlight a 100% probability for at least a 25bp reduction. Speculation for a change in regime may keep EURUSD afloat over the near-term, and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) may come under pressure to reverse the four rate-hikes from 2018 amid the ongoing shift in US trade policy.

With that said, the current environment may generate a larger correction in EURUSD as Chairman Jerome Powell & Co. start to project a lower trajectory for the benchmark interest rate.

  • Keep in mind, the broader outlook for EURUSD is no longer tilted to the downside as both price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) break out of the bearish formations from earlier this year.
  • In turn, EURUSD stands at risk for a larger correction as it breaks out of the range-bound price action from May following the failed attempt to test the 1.1000 (78.6% expansion) handle, with the exchange rate clearing the 200-Day SMA (1.1338) for the first time since in over a year.
  • The pullback from the June-high (1.1412) appears to be stalling ahead of the Fibonacci overlap around 1.1270 (50% expansion) to 1.1290 (61.8% expansion) as EURUSD struggles to extend the series of lower highs and lows from earlier this week, with a move back above 1.1340 (38.2% expansion) bringing the 1.1390 (61.8% retracement) to 1.1400 (50% expansion) region on the radar.
  • Next area of interest comes in around 1.1430 (23.6% expansion) to 1.1450 (50% retracement), which lines up with the March-high (1.1448), followed by the 1.1510 (38.2% expansion) to 1.1520 (23.6% expansion) zone.

  • GBPUSD eyes downtrend resumption as BoE fuels rate cut bets
  • Anti-risk Japanese Yen outperforms against its major counterparts
  • IG Client sentiment offers a stronger AUDUSD-bullish trading bias

Not sure where the British Pound is going next? We just released the third quarter GBPUSD fundamental and technical forecast!

BoE's Mark Carney Sinks the Pound

The British Pound was the worst-performing major on Tuesday, tumbling as Bank of England Governor Mark Carney spoke in Bournemouth. What caught the eye of investors was when he mentioned that global trade tensions increased downside risks. He also offered a rather disappointing outlook for second-quarter economic growth, seeing it as "considerably weaker".

According to overnight index swaps, odds of a BoE rate cut by year-end shot up to nearly 50 percent from about 25 yesterday. While the central bank has been in favor of hiking rates, the threat of a "no-deal" Brexit is keeping them on hold for the time being. In fact, Mr Carney even mentioned that it is "unsurprising" that the markets are envisioning a lower interest rate.

GBPUSD Technical Analysis

This leaves GBPUSD once again aiming towards the January "flash crash" low in its downtrend since March. However, the pair has been oscillating between 1.2582 and 1.2798, with a false downside breakout through the former that left a low at 1.2506. A close under 1.2582 opens the door to testing 1.2506 before attempting to find lows last seen in 2017.

Meanwhile, the anti-risk Japanese Yen outperformed against its major counterparts. The decline in USDJPY picked up pace shortly after Mark Carney spoke as US government bond yields declined and anti-fiat gold prices rallied absent a clear catalyst. In fact, the precious metal experienced its best performance in a day since June 2016, climbing over 2.5 percent.

Wednesday's Asia Pacific Trading Session

After yesterday's RBA rate cut that left Australian Dollar bears disappointed, Aussie traders will be closely watching upcoming Caixin China PMI outcomes after official manufacturing surveys pointed to a contraction in the sector earlier this week. Data has been tending to underperform relative to expectations in the world's second-largest economy and more of the same could sink AUDUSD.

However, IG Client Sentiment is currently offering a stronger AUDUSD-bullish contrarian trading bias given the unwinding in net-long positioning as traders pile into favoring shorts.
