A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Wall Street stocks (.SPX), opens new tab are back just shy of new record highs, lapping up the likely start of Federal Reserve easing next month but wary of Wednesday’s quarterly update from artificial intelligence behemoth Nvidia (NVDA.O),
GBPUSD 4 HOUR CHART – NEW HIGH

UK is back and GBP is in demand, both vs, the USD and on some of its crosses (EURGBP breaks below .8450)
When in unchartered waters 92+ year high), the most recent new high becomes key resistance.
The 1.3230 high has been extended, marginally so far. To guess at the next resistance zone, it would be 1.3250-80 if 1.3230 becomes support.
In any case, GBPUDD maintains a bid as long as it trades above 1.3180-00, stronger bid if above 1.3230..
AUDUSD 4 HOUR CHART – TARGET HIT

Consolidating
Hit its key target at the 2024 .6797 high and then backed off.
Would need a firm break of.6800 for another 100 pips on the upside.
Room on the downside for a retracement but that is all it would be unless .6697 is taken out,
Use 6750 as one of those pivotal levels that needs to hold to contain the doiwnside.
Nvidia – NVDA
Nvidia holds a 90% share of the Al chip market, with a 93% revenue increase and 150% operating income growth last year. Sales are expected to rise from $55.7 billion in 2024 to $150.6 billion by 2026.
NVIDIA Corporation is scheduled to report its earnings after the market closes on Wednesday, August 28, which is highlighted as a significant earnings event for the week.
Analysts expect strong results driven by high demand for enterprise Al and the company’s key position in the GPU market

Side note regarding how you approach markets to consider, I went on an 8 mile walk-sprint yesterday and was on a runners high by the time I got back to start looking at markets and had the sense to not trade because I was overly aggressive, positive spirits but quite animated. When you get like that it is best to wait for the next day when your energy is more balanced.
I do not like the thought of entertaining the sell side of UsdJpy until it is trading around 145 or higher so I am wiggling in and out of the buy side. The buying in EurUsd appears to be a log of backfill on to the sell side so my approach to this one is a want to see success or failure around the 1.1200 +/- area, so I am on the fence for today with Euro and more interested in Yen. The volatility has been better in Yen at lease for my way of doing things.
GBPUSD 4H
Supports : 1.31800, 1.31450 & 1.31300
Resistances : 1.32100, 1.32250 & 1.32600
Close of this bar below 1.31900 would signal some kind of a correction to the downside – or sideways to down.
However close above 1.32050 would hint a possibility of breaking above the resistance channel line at 1.32250 and continuation of this sharp Up trend.
Cable is in the Up Trend, and even deeper corrections ( 1.30 area) wouldn’t change it.

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets by Dhara Ranasinghe.
Not for the first time, financial markets are reminded why it’s never a good idea to get too far ahead.
So, while Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell’s much-awaited Jackson Hole speech on Friday fueled the rate-cut optimism that has aided stocks’ recovery from the early-August rout, the latest Middle East news highlights the need for caution.
AUDUSD DAILY CHART – TESTS 2024 HIGH

What caught my eye is the AUDUSD, which tested .6797 (high .6798) and then backed off.
As posted in our Weekly FX Outlook
Key target tested at the 2024 high at 6797.
Suggest .6800 is equally important as there is a void above it to .6799
Strong bid while above .6760.
