Headlines now excitedly screaming that 2024’s Elections Could Bring New Risks. Isn’t that exciting ?
US500 DAILY CHART – 5200 TARGETED?

AS i POSTed THE PAST FEW DAYS IF THE DOWNSIDE PICKS UP STEAM 5200 WOULD BE A TARGET. sO DAR, IT HAS CIOME CLOSE BUT YET TO TEST THIS LEVEL.
As noted below, a Chicago PMI miss has been the catalyst for the drop in equities.
See if the dollar reacts to the risk off mood.
EURGBP 30 MINUTE CHART – MONTH END?

As I posted earlier,
As I noted, month-end flows can be a factor, especially in EURGBP, which is firmer.
Note, I have seen month-end flows reverse during the day so keep an eye on your charts
To suggest an order the other way, .8515 would need to be broken.
In any case, keep an eye on this cross as the 4 PM London fix approaches.
GBPUSD, meanwhile, has regained a bid after EURGBP came oiff its high.

USDCAD 4 HOUR CHART – OUTPERFORMING

Having failed to test 1.3743, USDCAD is testing its downside and so far an outperformer..
Whether month-end USD selling is a factor would only be a guess.
In any case, the bottom of the range is at 1.3590-136,14 with 1.3650 likely to set the tone as the day foes on.
As with other currencies, US PCE is the next key focus.
EURUSD 4 HOUR CHART – MONTH END OR MORE?

EURUSD getting a boost out of its crosses (EURGBP, EURJPY) after holding above 1.08 earlier today.
On the upside, 1.0851 = 61.8% FIBO and 1.0859 is the key level as only above it would confirm the low is in.
As I noted, month-end flows can be a factor, especially in EURGBP, which is firmer.
How do we know there is a cross-flow?
EURUSD is a touch firmer and GBPUSD is a touch weaker.
Note, I have seen month-end flows reverse during the day so keep an eye on your charts
The key focus is on US PCE but expect month-end flows to take over on the approach to the 4 PM London fixing.
USDJPY 4 HOUR CHART – Wasd there intrervention?

WHETHER IT WAS INTERVENTION OR NOT YESTERDAY, THE M OVE DOWN HAS PROVED SHORT-LIVED.
On the upside, 157.50-00 remains a nervous zone for the BoJ/MoF as a break of the top end would leave a void until the 160.16 high.
If the goal is to create a 2-way risk, USDJOY needs ti stay below 157.70.
