EURUSD continues to correct higher, but we still look for resistance at 1.2996/3001 to turn the trend lower again.

GBPUSD above 1.6128 would allow a test of 1.6228 and through it is needed for a base.

USDJPY ideally stays capped below key resistance at 107.50/58.

NZDUSD spotlight stays on the downtrend and price resistance at .7987/99.

AUDUSD remains in a broad sideways range.

EURJPY immediate risk stays marginally lower while capped below 136.58/59.

USDCAD ideally holds above 1.1161/59 to keep its immediate uptrend.

NZDUSD Long Signal from CFTC Commitment of Traders Report

 

Very few times - historically - commercials (hedgers) have turned net long NZDUSD - as per the CFTC commitment of traders report which is published every Friday.

 

And on all of these instances (when they turn long) except one, the pair NZDUSD has formed a base and rallied higher. (In the chart below, the yellow line is NZDUSD weekly and white line is commercial position).

 

As per the latest COT report, commercials' position is 5865 long, which is almost at historical high. So, this signals time for NZDUSD to form a base above the strong support level of 0.7700 and rally northwards.

China devaluation to cause uncertainty in policy, whilst USD to be unsettled by rate hike

 

Kathleen Brooks, Research Director for City Index, joined Nick Batsford and Richard Hunter at Tip TV to discuss the China devaluation, the USD, the US rate hike, oil and equities.

 

China devaluation not great for China

 

Brooks began by noting that she didn’t expect the China devaluation, before adding that the devaluation is unlikely to boost anything. She commented that it is likely to lead to a huge amount of capital outflow, which is good for the UK property market, and also brings about uncertainty in policy.

 

USD doesn’t move with interest cycles as you would expect

 

With the FOMC minutes being released on Wednesday, and being one month away from the FOMC meeting, Brooks noted that whenever there has been a tightening cycle the USD has actually fallen over the last 30 years. The USD is also unlikely to be unsettled by the rate hike, with Brooks commenting that the Fed will urge on the side of caution and thus she will be surprised if the hike occurs in September.

 

Not a buyer for choice on oil

 

The situation doesn’t feel right concerning oil, according to Brooks. She noted that there is too much supply, with Iran producing at the highest level for the last 6 years, whilst China’s demand likely to fall further with its weakening economy. Brooks also continued that oil will remain in a tight range for the next while.

 

Good environment for equities

 

Brooks finished by expressing that equities are in a good environment, with low inflation, interest rates and oil prices, meaning firms still have pricing power. However, she does outline a warning over big blue chips in the near future, including large oil companies and heavy exporters to China like BMW, and instead focus on smaller companies in areas such as Spain.

Following yesterday’s release of the FOMC minutes, Marc Ostwald – Market strategist at ADM Investor Services – joined Zak Mir and Bil Hubard in the Tip TV studio to discuss the likelihood of an interest rate hike in the US and the UK, as well as what’s going on in the markets. Have the equity markets braced for a rate hike? Views are somewhat negative in the US equities market, as they see a sideways churn. However Marc Ostwald believes this is a bullish sign, and that players in the stock market are preparing themselves for the possibility of a rate hike occurring in September. With equities continuing to be the most attractive prospect for investors, there’s no rush to sell as other markets are proving exceptionally reactive to incoming data. The need for differentiation Akin to the sentiments from recent news, with markets becoming more dynamic we’re likely to see a separation between the smarter investors. Ostwald believes differentiation will be key in deciding where to invest, as industries across the board struggle, but specific opportunities still present themselves as a result of micro-specific factors. - See more at: Wall street ready for the Federal Reserve rate hike? | TipTV.co.uk

First Black Monday, now Woeful Wednesday?

 

Neil Mackinnon – Chief macro strategist at VTB Capital – joined Mike Ingram and Zak Mir in the Tip TV studio to discuss what powers the major central banks have to turn the markets around again.

 

Uncertainty over possible second down leg

 

The warning signs have been evident for a while, says Mackinnon, as ongoing market pressure in China, speculation over a Fed rate hike, and oil prices looking for a bottom have culminated in Monday’s flash crash. However the overall bearish outlook for the markets still persists, and with major banks having exhausted almost all monetary options, there is little that can be done to break this cycle.

Today’s stock and macro update: China data and market unclear but may still prevent Fed rate hike

 

Nick Batsford, CEO of Tip TV, opened the Tip TV Finance Show alongside Richard Hunter, Head of Equities at Hargreaves Lansdown, to discuss the impending potential Fed rate hike and FOMC meeting this Thursday, China’s clouded economic data, as well as brief outlooks on the FTSE 100, NASDAQ, Merlin, Kingfisher and more.

 

Entirely 50/50 on Fed decision this Thursday

 

Hunter outlined that the verdict of Thursday’s FOMC meeting is split down the middle and a rate hike could be on the cards. He noted that any hike will be a 25 basis point interest rate rise. However, Hunter also highlighted that China has given the Federal Reserve a significant excuse to prevent the Fed hike, even though US data has been improving recently.

 

China clouded economic data remains

 

Hunter briefly outlined China, commenting that its stock market is still in trouble following the drastic fall and the government artificially holding up prices, and that in terms of its economic data we are unsure of its accuracy.

 

October tumble in the markets possible

 

Hunter moved onto the markets, and commented on the decline until December as many begin positioning their portfolios for 2016. Historically October has been the month for a crash, however, he noted that you can’t categorise months, sometimes it will and sometimes it won’t, and he urges to look to the longer term and ride out the volatility.

 

Oversupply to cause $20 oil

 

Batsford highlighted the call by Goldman Sachs who have predicted oil down to $20 a barrel. In response, Hunter noted that he is not sure on oil, and that there must be some other factors in play other than oversupply for Goldman Sachs to be calling oil down to $20. He added oil experts believe we are in a range now, and that $20 is a long way off at the moment.

 

Stock and Index updates

 

Batsford outlined the NASDAQ as being the strongest index on Thursday and is currently leading the market. He also added that this should continue over the next week.

 

In terms of IAG, Hunter commented that it is a well-regarded stock and the market consensus is coming in at a strong buy.

 

Hunter continued onto KGF, and believed that they are trying to get synergies within the business. According to Hunter, exposure to France had been holding back and the Jury remains out at the moment.

 

When concerning MERL, Hunter noted that is will be interesting to see what financial impact Merlin is likely to take from the Alton Towers incident. But it maintains a buy due to its great diversification of parks and rides and its presence in the USA as well.
