FX & Rates

The USD has been weak this year as the Fed has allowed global economic and financial market uncertainty to put its rate hikes on ice.  Domestic economic conditions have been resilient to global developments, but not strong enough to demand Fed action.  The rebound in US payrolls in June did more to boost US and global equities than to restore US rate hike expectations or boost the USD.  The Fed will probably upgrade its view on the economy, but this will do little to support the USD if the rest…

Technical Analysis

Counter trend rally call in the global cycle is now coming through after some heart wrenching support tests Thursday. We are targeting S&amp;P 1,918 with scope of reaching for 1,950 thus the most probable target comes in at 1,938.We touted putting on some risk and reducing shorts last week in anticipation of a risk on bounce sequence to re cycle shorts into.WTI called for rise from 28 was off the mark with a low at 26.19; rally target is pattern resistance at 34 but will have immediate trouble above 32. Upside from here will be harder. MT bear target in the 25 region.USD was due for profit taking versus the CAD in particular (slipping below our 1.42 dip target) but also versus some EM FX but our strategic bullish USD view remains firm against EM FX and commodity currencies. Euro is losing ground on stimulus jawboning while the GBP is oversold with sell resistance now at 1.45; our macro 1.35 target is in sight. USD/JPY to see rally to 119.40 if not 120 for a key turn lower again.EEM kissed our 27.50 major target to cover some shorts and the break above resistance on Friday triggered another reduce point for shorts with a 31-32 target to re cycle shorts for test on 26. Asian FX - Lock in gains in THB and MYR shorts. KRW and SGD shorts re cycle/add on chart dips. INR hit 68 in line with a Nifty low.Cycles – The current snap back rally cycle will see price swings moderate and expected to last into early February when a turn is very probable around the 5th.
