Abstract:Markets are sending conflicting signals about how big a threat the global trade rift presents.
Markets are sending conflicting signals about how big a threat the global trade rift presents. Markets sent mixed signals on 23rdMarch. Dow stocks seesawed back and forth in a rather directionless trading day while Nasdaq gained. The yield-sensitive technology stocks traded higher as investors believed the Fed can‘t keep hiking rates and risk further panic and bank runs. Bonds didn’t gain much supporting the dollar. As a result, EURUSD created a bearish shooting star candle (indicates momentum loss). This didnt slow down the gold bulls though as they see the potential end of tightening as a reason to prepare for higher inflation. During times of high inflation gold has traditionally acted as a hedge against rising prices.
The BOE hiked by 25 bp as expected so there was no significant market reaction in Cable. The central bank did indicate earlier that it might pause the hikes, but a sudden pickup in inflation in February forced the BOE to increase the borrowing costs at least once more. Andrew Bailey the BOE governor said, “We believe that inflation will begin to fall quite rapidly before the summer, but as yesterdays release for February showed, we need to see that happening”.
Lower high in NAS
NAS trades near a recent daily swing high. If the market starts breaking supports it could lead to a formation of bearish double-top formation. Yesterday‘s high created a lower swing high in the 4h chart and so the risk of the market breaking below 12 543 has increased. If the level breaks a move down to 12 400 looks likely. A decisive break above yesterday’s high would probably open a way to 13 200 or so.
Gold trades near recent highs
Gold trades near recent highs and has started to react lower. This is likely due to the strength of the USD. The nearest support is at 1966. If its violated the 1934 level probably gets tested. On the other hand, above 2010 gold could trade to 2030.
Bearish shooting star in the daily EURUSD chart
EURUSD turned bearish after a strong rally. The market has retraced back to 1.0760 but I dont think the market can turn bullish here (the probabilities of a new uptrend starting from here are low) as the market has just turned bearish. If the 1.0760 is broken decisively, EURUSD probably trades down to 1.0724.
USDZAR trades near to a support area
The U.S. dollar (USD) / South African rand (ZAR) exchange rate (ticker symbol: USDZAR) has become one of the most popular exotic currency pairs among global forex traders. USDZAR trades higher from a daily support area. If the market can rally decisively above the 18.20 level, a move to 18.60 could be in the cards. Below 18.00 a move to 17.70 level looks likely.

As the 2024 U.S. presidential race approaches, investors worldwide are closely watching potential outcomes and their implications for global markets. While a 269-269 Electoral College tie between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains unlikely, its occurrence would set the stage for an unprecedented period of political uncertainty, triggering a contingent election decided by Congress. Such uncertainty would ripple across forex, stock, and oil markets, where stability and predictability are prized. Here’s a look at how a tie could affect these key financial sectors.
The forex fix serves as a critical benchmark for currency valuations, impacting trillions of dollars in transactions daily. However, its reliance on real-time market activity makes it susceptible to manipulation. Understanding the mechanisms behind this manipulation is essential for investors and regulators alike.
Eight years ago, he was a dark horse, defeating Democratic rival Hillary Clinton to become the 45th U.S. President, sending the U.S. dollar soaring and shaking up global financial markets. Four years later, he sought re-election but lost, and left the White House with the words, "The way we left is how we’ll return." In the years since, popular former President Trump has traveled widely, promising to fulfill previous commitments. As the countdown to the 60th U.S. presidential election begins, this man who once made international markets tremble is back in the spotlight.
Two terms often emerge during central bank policy discussions: hawkish and dovish. These descriptors reflect the differing approaches central banks may take regarding monetary policy. Traders, especially in the forex market, pay close attention to these stances because of their significant impact on currency strength, inflation, interest rates, and overall market sentiment. But what do these terms mean, and are they inherently good or bad for a country's economy?
