Fed’s Bostic Says
More Data Needed, Rate Cut Likely by Year-End
Rate Cuts Are ‘Coming’—But He Needs More Data to Be Sure
a ‘little more data’ needed to support cutting rates

my translation of Bostic’s ‘says’:
*don’t get too hot under the collar you sons and daughters of mothers without a known father

No change… USD upside limited ahead of CPI… so if it can’t go up, then risk is down… risk on mood otherwise

[SF Monedge]

AI PCs accounted for 14% of all personal computers shipped in the second quarter with Apple leading the way – Reuters.

Here is a simple window into how far AI has to go until it can rival the human mind in trading.  The section “Popular In Your Area” in a particular and massively visited site has the headlines “Ukrainian Forces Describe Rapid Offensive,” and “This Financial Firm’s Stock Dropped 50% Monday and Here is Why.”

I don’t live in Ukraine and I’m pretty sure that financial firm has offices on multiple continents, not just “near you.”

Its coming along though.  Just a tool Quants are developing for now.  Another 3 years or so.

US 10 year 3.86%

Seeing some correlation with USDJPY (weaker)

EURUSD holding 1.0950

[SF Monedge]

This relative area should be the ceiling for the day in normal conditions for Eu.

EURUSD 4 HOUR CHART – IS 1.10 BACK ON THE RADAR?

Needs to hold above 1.0945 (suggests 1.0945-50) to keep a bid that puts 1.10 back on the radar.

In any case, look for support on dips ahead of Wed’s US CPI but a stronger bid  if it can stay above 1.0945-50. .

[SF Monedge]

Good move in Eu.  Not enough to change the overall sell bias yet around 0950 in my view.  Other data pending and geopolitical tension not in support of a full on risk on environment.  Could overshoot on bids but not likely by much.

EURUSD 4h

This is where it goes – Up there…see the downtrend line…around 1.10

We see what happens there and we reassess again.

[GVI Forex 2]

By limit all I can say is USD shouldn’t race away ahead of CPI…

[Mtl JP]

Jay 12:44 – what is the limit to dlr’s downside

zero ?

[Mtl JP]

post PPI
US 10-YR 3.879% -0.03

[GVI Forex 2]

PPIP reactions have so far been limited but at a minimum, there should be a limit on the USD upside ahead of CPI barring some geopolitical event.

[GVI Forex 2]

US PPI softer than forecasts…

Yields down…dollar down…stocks up

I remember whebn PPI was largely ignored… not the case nowadays

pundits to the right of me, pundits to the left of me
if I only had a roc …
–
08:30 – PPI (ahead of Wednesday’s CPI)
– Expectation : +0.2% plus a few other metrics
– Players are want oh so badly to see data to be increasing FED’s “confidence” about inflation rate’s trajectory
– ATM players are pricing a sept cut but 50%-er is currently an outlier.
– Pretty well all market components appear discombobulated: DLRx up tiny bit, bonds narrow ditto stocks
–
VIX 20.50 screams volatility, tension, anxiety (all good things in my optique)

DLRx 102.95 looks softish atm
Sup 102.90; Res 103.50

A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan

Much like Wall Street’s rapid healing on Friday, Japanese stocks completed their week-long, hair-raising round trip on Tuesday as Tokyo markets returned from holiday, wiped out the remainder of last week’s losses and nudged the yen lower.

Morning Bid: Market lull as PPI eyed, Nikkei returns to base

USDJPY 4 HOUR CHART – CONSOLIDATING

A case can be made for a 145-148 (or 146-148) consolidation range after the brief blip yesterday to 148.22 failed to follow through. A solid move above 148 would be needed to put 150 in play again.

If USDJPY settles into a range, then the cost of carrying a long JPY may become a factor.

Otherwise markets seem to be waiting for

Iran to attack

US CPI on Wednesday

[GVI Forex 2]

GBPUSD retracement levels (high today 1,2813)

 

[Belgrade Bobby]

GBPUSD Daily

Cable is testing the resistance at 1.28150 .

Supports come at : 1.27750 , 1.27600 & 1.27200

Only above 1.28150 we can talk about Bullish.

So far this looks like correction of a previous drop.

[GVI Forex 2]

Risk on start (stocks up)

GBPUSD tests 1.28 after UK jobs report

JPY trading softer (but USDJPY is still below 148)

EURUSD lagging on EURGBP dip

XAUUSD backing off after testing 2477 resistance (noted yesterday)

Markets seem to be betting on no Middle East escalation assuming Iran will launch its strike

US CPI on Wed is not expected to alter rate cut expectations barring a surprise

[Mtl JP]

SF 5:52 —- after the “intelligence” types laid out all their intelligence to the commander in chief, did biden plan and decide all that ?

[Mtl JP]

Jay 3:49 my personal preference is for timesofisrael

like this latest on their f/page

“IDF on ‘peak alert’ for Iran, Hezbollah attacks; US expects it may happen this week
By Agencies, Emanuel Fabian, ToI Staff and Jacob Magid
Senior officials say Iran has made same preparations as it did before April attack, though exact timing of launch unknown; army says still no changes to civilian guidelines”

A USDJPY Update From the Savvy Trader

In an article entitled A Bold Prediction for USDJPY I listed a series of forum posts from one of our long-time and highly respected Global-View community members, whom I called a savvy trader.

As you can see in the article, he called the top in USDJPY and more.

So, given what I called his bold prediction, I would be remiss if I didn’t share (with his permission) this email I received from him last night.

A USDJPY Update From the Savvy Trader

[Belgrade Bobby]

S&P 500 – SPX

US indexes waver ahead of economic data; CPI in focus
Real estate  S5REAS and financials  SPF were the top losers among S&P 500 sectors, down 1.1% and 0.6% respectively.

The benchmark S&P 500  SPX and Nasdaq Composite  IXIC recouped most of their losses from last Monday by the end of the week. The S&P 500 had suffered its biggest one-day percentage drop in nearly two years on recession fears and the unwinding of currency carry trade positions involving the yen.

Investors are awaiting Wednesday’s U.S. consumer price index reading and retailer earnings to assess demand by shoppers.

[Belgrade Bobby]

XAUUSD – Gold Daily

Has to go above 2485.00 to confirm the new wave that can run as high as 2600.00 at least.

Support comes at 2435.00 and ultimately 2385.00

[Belgrade Bobby]

BTCUSD – Bitcoin Daily

“Possible Bitcoin price drop to $52K rises as BTC derivatives data shows traders losing hope” Mainstream media….

But in my opinion, technically speaking – Close tonight above 59.300 would create a very Bullish Pattern – a perfect ground for attack at 70 K once again.

However , close below 58.200 would call for at least 56K and 50 K soon after.

[Belgrade Bobby]

Nasdaq 100 – NDX

After a nice rebound from the low 17.435, index has stalled a bit today.

Has to hold above 18.350 to avoid another leg down.

Safe zone comes above 19.000

[Belgrade Bobby]

Nvidia – NVDA

Nvidia Corp stock is trading higher on Monday, attributed to its success in the Al market through its CUDA software platform and dominance in the Al chip market.

Nvidia, seen as a top choice for rebound in the semiconductor sector, may gain from a Q4 sector recovery. Its new Al-focused Blackwell chip is set to spur growth.
