riki143 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 EUR/USD after Trump's victory: Are the bears in EUR strengthening for mid-term? 11/10/2016 On an unexpected move, because of recent polls pre-elections, the Republican nominee, and businessman Donald Trump became the new United States president, catching up the votes from several “battleground” states, where Florida played a key role to define the race towards the White House. As results kept coming during early Wednesday’s session, US dollar plummeted and safe haven’s assets were boosted by a huge demand, because Trump was leading and gaining a big ground across the USA. However, markets managed to stabilize their structures and most of the currencies were back to their pre-election price action. According to our technical overview for EUR/USD at H4 chart, the pair is back below the 200 SMA, after it reached the 1.1280 level, but during American session, plunged to consolidate below the 1.10 handle. If the pair does a breakout below the 1.0890 level, then it can test the 1.0856 level, only if the US dollar increases during next hours. By another hand, as the Euro gets some boost, it can go towards the 1.10190 level, as long as it manages to consolidate the 1.0964 level.

First, it slumped to 101.16, then soared towards 106.00 as the probability of a December rate hike had been revised.

AUD/USD surged a bit, supported by increases in prices of resources exported by the nation.

riki143 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Is Trump good for business? 11/10/2016 Despite the negative forecasts that the US stocks will slump if Donald Trump is elected president, S&P 500 jumped by more than 1% on Wednesday. Why were the stocks cheered up so much by the billionaire’s rise to political power? Here are several important things: - In his victory speech, Trump said that it’s time for the Americans “to come together as one united people”. Market players now expect that Trump’s actual action will be more moderate that the remarks he made while being a candidate. - People realized that it’s not the end of the world as we know it. US economic fundamentals haven’t changed. - The pre-election uncertainty is now over. Trump may deliver more surprises, but a lot of doubts has been removed as the market has a general understanding of what Trump plans to do. The key action will involve the economy, taxes, border security and immigration, law and order, Obamacare and regulations. - Being a businessman himself Trump is expected to conduct business-friendly policies. The new president is expected to boost fiscal spending and encourage the US economic growth to accelerate. As Republicans control of both houses of Congress, it will be ease for them to pass the new legislation. According to the analysts, this could be a bullish driver for the American stocks next year. - Health-care went up as investors relaxed after having prepared to for stronger regulatory scrutiny promised by Hillary Clinton. Companies like Caterpillar Inc. gained on Trump’s promise to increase infrastructure spending. Financials surged because investors project higher rates to increase their profits. This increase managed to offset the decline in defensive sectors such as utilities and consumer staples. The uncertainty of Trump’s trade policies affects global companies like Apple Inc., Coca-Cola Co., and Procter & Gamble Co. Trump will become president after a ceremony on January 20, 2017. Still, even before that there will be a lot of talk about his plans and this talk will have a sizeable impact on the US and global stock markets.

riki143 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Forecasts for USD/JPY from banks 11/10/2016 Credit Agricole suggests buying USD/JPY from 103.09 with a stop at 99 and target at 110. Here is the rationale: The US unlike the UK will be dealing with its trading partners from a position of strength; The US economy can benefit from Trump’s presidency if he manages to realize his great spending plans. With Republican Congress, new policies should be implemented without significant hindrances (oppositions). Many believe that there won’t be any Washington’s policy gridlocks that used to occur under Obama presidency, so, Trump will have all chances to fulfill his election pledges. The recent cleanout of short JPY positions as a consequence of the US election outcome opens the doors for another increase in JPY shorts as investors focus on the improving prospects for global growth and inflation even on the back of the Fed’s rate hike. Significant risk-aversion shouldn’t re-emerge in the near-term, so, the yen as a safe-have asset shouldn’t appreciate again. Societe Generale doesn’t entirely share this point of view, but also believes that unless there’s a big increase in risk aversion, USD is likely to move higher against JPY. Morgan Stanley suggests buying USD on its dips against low-yielding currencies. Mr. Trump supported by a Republican House and Senate will likely manage to put his expansionary plans into action (fiscal stimulus should push the nominal US yield curve intro steeper territory and offer investors higher real rate in the longer run. The Fed will have to introduce tightening measures to curb inflation rate. The change of the US monetary/fiscal policy mix will make the yield curve more attractive for inflows, offering significant support for USD.

riki143 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Trump win might bring great changes to the European continent 11/10/2016 It seems that Trump win marks the beginning of the “far-right” curve. Surprising Republican victory showed the readiness of electorate to significant political shifts. The next opportunity for people to express their disappointment with conventional politics is Italian referendum on political reform scheduled for December 4. The current polls indicate the majority of “no” votes. If the referendum results come in line with forecasts, Mateo Renzi will have to step down as Italian Prime Minister, opening up the possibility of new elections with the win of the radical Five Star Movement. Next month, Austrians will have to choose their national leader. The polls indicate that Norbert Hofer, a front-runner of the right-wing populist Freedom party, has all chances to become the first far-right head of state in western Europe since the WWII. Next year should provide even more opportunities for the popular pushback as there will be presidential and parliamentary elections in France, Germany, Netherlands. Trump’s breakthrough boosted the confidence of candidates running on nationalistic, anti-foreigner, anti-elite and anti-globalization platforms. In Germany, Frauke Petry, the leader of the far-right populist Alternative für Deutschland, said that Trump’s victory was “encouraging” as it heralds the beginning of political sea-change in Europe. The Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders, Islamophobic front-runner in the next parliamentary elections congratulated Trump in Twitter and said his win is inspirational for all right-wing party leaders. In Hungary, nationalist leader Viktor Orbán said Trump’s win proved that “democracy is still alive”. Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right Front National, was triumphant on Wednesday as she heard about Trump win, saying his victory showed that it’s high time “political and media elite” put in its place. Her own win in the upcoming election is probable. National Front party with its anti-immigration stance is now a key electoral force; its support is growing which is marked by the outcome of French regional election in 2015. From all has been said, we may conclude that there might be great changes not only in the US but also in the Eurozone countries. Every victory of the nationalist leader/ far-right party with their anti-immigrant rhetoric and protectionist approach to trade relationships can send some shockwaves across the trading desks.

While this indicator is mostly marked by some economic calendar as a mid-impact event, it can produce some volatility during the release, as it gauges the level of optimism of the consumers in the United States. Bear in mind that Consumer Sentiment had been in bearish trend. Our technical view for USD/JPY at H4 chart is calling for an exhausted bullish trend across the board, following the rally it had during the week, thanks to the United States presidential elections. If consumer’s data comes below the expectations, the pair can attempt a decline towards the 105.36 level, while in the another scenario, it can find a top around 107.55 level.

riki143 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 China’s mortal fear after the US election 11/11/2016 The yuan slumped to a 6-year low on the growing concerns over spoilt relationships between China and more protectionist US under Trump’s presidency. Throughout the presidential race Trump threatened to impose tariffs at about 45% on Chinese exports saying that People’s Republic of China is a well-known master of currency manipulation. For many years, China kept its exchange rate at low levels in order to make its exports cheaper and more attractive for foreign consumers (US dollar is free-floating currency, while the exchange rate of yuan is fixed). According to the newly elected Republican president, China should pay the heavy price for its perennial manipulations with renminbi, its national currency. The recent estimates of Commonwealth Bank of Australia show that the US tariffs if imposed would cut China’s shipments to the States by 25% just in a year. It seems that Trump will likely fulfill its pledge once he is inaugurated president. Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed his hope to expand bilateral cooperation with Trump and negotiate mutually acceptable terms of trade. If he fails to do so, China’s economic growth will shrink significantly, as the US is one of its major trading partners (look at the chart below).

riki143 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Morning brief for November 11, 2016 11/11/2016 USD/JPY soared as high as 106.5 compared to 105.15 before the US election. There are at least two reasons that could explain the weakening of the yen. The US yields rose significantly and gave a boost to the greenback. The yen has an inverse correlation with US yields because higher yields make Japanese investors buy more US debt. Markets are pricing in the US Fed’s rate hike in December after the initial election shock dissipated. EUR/USD edged up to 1.0905 on Friday. The euro is still under pressure until it manages to reclaim 1.0975 (100-day MA on 4H timeframe) or 1.1038 (50-day MA). Meanwhile, there is still a room for depreciation. Later today we get German final CPI and monthly wholesale price index. The former one has a significant effect on the final CPI for the whole eurozone, as Germany is one of the front-running countries of this monetary union. Strange though it may appear GBP/USD surged overnight. Now the pound is pegging its way towards 1.6000 despite the US dollar strengthening. Later today we will get the releases from the University of Michigan which will show us the US consumer sentiment and inflation expectations. Consensus forecast indicates a slight increase in the figures that offer support to USD. AUD/USD was weak at the beginning of the session, having slid towards 0.7560 on the speculation that Trump is going to impose a tariff on Chinese exports. Now the pair is moving towards the resistance at 0.7620, having partially recovered from the slump. NZD/USD throughout the session was trading along the range 0.7250-0.7215. Now the quotes are steadily moving towards resistance at 0.7222 (100-day MA). This day shouldn’t bring volatility to the NZD/USD technical chart. Earlier this morning USD/CAD edged down to 0.1355, having failed to test 1.3520 (the upper boundary of the upward trading channel). Later today we will hear Stephen Poloz, Bank of Canada governor, speaking at the 20th Annual Conference of the Central Bank of Chile. Volatility is sometimes experienced during his speeches as traders scrutinize the governor’s public engagements to receive some clues on the interest rate.
