Quiet markets among uncertain backdrop

By Lukman Otunuga, Research Analyst, ForexTime

It’s a rather mixed market in this afternoon’s session which is perhaps to be expected ahead of the huge risk event next week across the pond. After yesterday’s deep selloff in risk assets yesterday, stocks are a touch softer today, bonds are firmer and there’s a bid for JPY, which we looked at this morning.

The Dollar is modestly weaker against its G10 peers while the ‘commodollars’ are better bid. With stimulus talks on the backburner, the incumbent is not seeing any late surge in polling support that propelled him into the Oval Office this time four years ago. A contested outcome nags at the back of many minds but Joe Biden is still out in front in both national polls and more importantly, the swing states which will determine the next commander-in-chief.

More immediately, the pandemic is occupying the market and the tough winter months ahead, especially in Europe. Volatility is creeping higher and the risk environment remains delicate, even if we know the prospects for fiscal relief are very high after the election .We’ve had mixed news on the data front to add to this uncertainty with US consumer confidence disappointing, while durable goods figures continue to show improvements in business investments with the headline figures rising for the fifth straight month.

Gold coiling, waiting for catalyst

The yellow metal continues to struggle for direction, trading in a tight range over the past few weeks. Last weeks move higher was capped by the previous high at $1933 but prices remain well supported by the 100-day Moving Average now just below $1900 and the six-month uptrend support line.

With momentum indicators firmly in neutral mode, we await the trigger for a break. What we know for certain is that the more prices trade in a tight range and contract, the more the breakout will be expansive!

Bullish Yen through year-end

By Han Tan, Market Analyst, ForexTime

Since the end of August, the Japanese Yen has strengthened against all of its G10 peers, indicating that markets are paring back their risk exposures. And the options market suggests there could be more gains for the JPY as we enter the final stretch of what has certainly been a tumultuous year.

Such expectations are captured in the uptrend evident in the FXTM Japanese Yen index, which reflects the JPY’s performance against a basket of six major currencies, namely the US Dollar, Euro, Pound, Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, and the Swiss Franc, all evenly-weighted. After registering its lowest level since 2019 on August 31st, this index has gained about 3.2 percent and is trading well above its 50-day simple moving average.

Compared to all other G10 currencies, markets appear most bullish on the Japanese Yen for the remainder of the year, judging by the positioning in the 25-delta risk reversals. Investors are well aware that November features major event risks such as the US presidential elections and also the final stretch of post-Brexit trade negotiations, and that both events have the potential to deliver outsized shocks across global markets. Coupled with the troubling resurgence of Covid-19 across the US and Europe, a phenomenon which threatens to derail the global economic recovery, no surprise then that demand for the safe haven Yen has been rising of late.

A rising tide of risk aversion over the coming weeks could see the FXTM JPY index breaking above the 103.317 mark for the first time since June, with a higher high adding further confirmation to its uptrend.

BOJ expected to hold policy rate

Keep in mind that the Bank of Japan is set to announce its latest monetary policy decision on Thursday, although the central bank is expected to leave things unchanged. The second wave of Covid-19 cases in Japan is abating, allowing the country to resume its economic recovery which diminishing the need for more financial support.

Still, any revisions to the BOJ’s GDP and inflation outlooks for fiscal 2020 will be closely monitored to assess the state of the world’s third-largest economy, and any major shift in expectations could be reflected in the JPY’s performance this week.

The downtrend in USDJPY is still very much intact, with the 50-day SMA guiding the currency pair downwards. USDJPY could retest the 104.0 psychological level over the coming days, especially if the US Dollar resumes its weakening bias once there’s more certainty after the US presidential elections.

Dollar Firms on Rising Coronavirus Cases in the US

By Orbex

EURUSD Dips Closer Back To 1.1800

The common currency is trading weaker on Monday, largely due to a slightly higher greenback.

Price action continues to ease lower with intraday lows trading just a few pips off the 1.1800 handle.

Continued declines could see the 1.1800 level of support being tested once again.

However, the lower high following the recent rebound off 1.1800 signals caution.

A breakdown below 1.1800 could see price action pushing lower and potentially shifting the short term trend.

GBPUSD Holds The Range Between 1.3122 & 1.3000

The British pound sterling drifted lower on Monday as intraday prices briefly tested the 1.3000 handle.

However, price action remains volatile around this level.

The Stochastics oscillator is oversold and could signal a short term move to the upside.

Meanwhile, price action is on track to close bearish for the third consecutive daily session. Still, prices remain well within the range from last Wednesday.

As a result, only a bearish close below 1.2944 could spell further declines.

For the moment, the bias remains mixed.

WTI Crude Oil Loses The 38.83 Floor Again

Oil prices are trading bearish, as the sentiment shifts to the downside.

The rising number of coronavirus cases in the US once again dampens the outlook for demand.

As a result, oil prices slipped below the 38.83 floor that held up previously.

The breakdown below this level is, however, gradual. This could mean that price could once again creep back higher to continue with the sideways trend.

If the current bearish momentum continues, oil prices could be testing the 2nd October lows near 37.

Gold Trades Muted Despite Bearish Market Sentiment

The precious metal is attempting to make some recovery, but price action remains broadly muted.

This comes even as the US equity markets are trading in the red on Monday.

With no clear progress on the stimulus bill and the dollar firming, gold prices are in check.

For the moment, the consolidation near the 1900 – 1911.50 level continues.

To the downside, a soft support is near the 1890 handle.

A close below 1890 could signal a shift for further declines in price action. This could potentially open the way for a move to the 1850 handle next.

The Dollar Index Is Consolidating. Investors Expect Additional Drivers

by JustForex

The US dollar shows ambiguous results against a basket of world currencies. The dollar index (#DX) is consolidating in the range of 92.87-93.10. Investors have taken a wait-and-see attitude before the US presidential election, which is scheduled for November 3. The new wave of COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy negatively. At the moment, the number of infected in the world has approached 43.5 million. Some countries have introduced new restrictive measures.

Financial market participants also expect meetings of the Bank of Canada, Bank of Japan and the ECB later this week. Experts agree that regulators will keep the key marks of monetary policy at the same level. We recommend paying attention to the comments by the representatives of the Central Banks. Today, traders will be focused on economic releases from the US.

The “black gold” prices have been growing. At the moment, futures for the WTI crude oil are testing the $39.00 mark per barrel. At 22:30 (GMT+2:00), API weekly US crude oil stock will be published.

Market indicators

Yesterday, there were aggressive sales in the US stock market: #SPY (-1.85%), #DIA (-2.24%), #QQQ (-1.50%).

The 10-year US government bonds yield has become stable after a sharp drop the day before. At the moment, the indicator is at the level of 0.79-0.80%.

The news feed for 2020.10.27:
  • – Durable goods orders in the US at 14:30 (GMT+2:00);
  • – US consumer confidence index at 16:00 (GMT+2:00).

Technical Outlook: Risk-off mood likely to favour Yen

By Lukman Otunuga, Research Analyst, ForexTime

A tidal wave of risk aversion threatens to engulf financial markets as new coronavirus cases surge in the United States and Europe. On top of this, the US stimulus saga and uncertainty it presents continues to drain investor confidence – ultimately fuelling the risk-off vibe.

Our currency spotlight this week shines on the Japanese Yen which has been labelled a trader’s best friend in times of uncertainty. However, Yen bulls seem to be missing in action this morning despite the gloomy mood. Although the currency has weakened against most G10 majors excluding the Dollar, the Yen still has a shot at the throne if risk aversion intensifies ahead of the US election on November 3rd.

Focusing on the technicals, the return of risk aversion may present opportunities on various Yen crosses. Yesterday we covered the USDJPY on the weekly charts and identified key levels of support and resistance.

Our focus today will revolve around the daily timeframes and possible setups ahead of the US election.

USDJPY pressured below 105.00

For as long as the USDJPY is unable to break above the 105.00 resistance level, prices may decline back towards 104.00. Prices are trading below the 20 Simple Moving Average while the MACD trades to the downside. If investors rush towards the Yen’s safe embrace, this may accelerate the decline towards 104.00.

EURJPY on standby

One just can’t help but feel that the EURJPY is waiting for a directional catalyst. Prices are trading within a wide range with support at 123.00 and resistance around 125.00. A breakout/down could be around the corner with the fundamentals potentially sparking the move. Should the Yen gain on risk aversion, this may drag the EURJPY towards 123.00 and 122.40, respectively.

GBPJPY breakout/down setup in play

It’s the same old story on the GBPJPY. Support can be found at 135.70 and resistance may be found around 137.90. A breakout/down from these key levels may set the tone for the GBPJPY in the medium term. Technicals are slowing bending in favour of bears as the MACD trades to the downside while prices are struggling to keep above the 100 Simple Moving Average. If the 135.70 support is conquered, the next key level of interest may be found around 134.40.

AUDJPY finds comfort in lower range

The AUDJPY is rangebound on the daily charts. Sustained weakness below the pivotal 75.50 level may open the doors towards 74.00 and potentially 72.60. Alternatively, a move back above 75.50 could trigger a move towards 77.00 and 78.50.
