Australian Dollar Lower After Soft #CPI Data: #AUDUSD (31 Jan 2024)

The Australian dollar has lost ground after Australia’s CPI was lower than expected. In the European session, AUD/USD is trading at 0.6578, down o.37%. The Aussie continues to struggle and has declined 3.4% in January.

Australia’s CPI eases to 3.4%

Australia’s inflation rate continues to decline, which will be sweet music to the ears of central bank policy makers. CPI for Q4 2023 fell to 4.1% y/y, down sharply from 5.4% in Q3 and below the market estimate of 4.3%. Inflation has decelerated for a third straight month and has fallen to its lowest since November 2021. The drop in inflation was felt across the economy and goods and services inflation eased. A key core CPI indicator, the trimmed mean, fell to 4.2% y/y, down sharply from 5.2% and just below the market estimate of 4.3%. The decline in inflation was also apparent on a quarterly basis. CPI fell from 1.2% to 0.6% in the fourth quarter and the trimmed-mean CPI dropped to 0.8%, down from 1.2% in the third quarter.

The inflation report is the final key release before the Reserve Bank of Australia meets on February 6. The RBA isn’t expected to start cutting rates until the second half of 2024 and it’s a virtual certainty that the RBA will hold rates next week at 4.35%. The RBA hasn’t signalled it will cut rates, but inflation has been moving in the right direction and the economy has been cooling down, with consumer spending falling and the labour market showing cracks.

This week’s retail sales report was a reminder that consumers are being squeezed by the cost of living crisis. December retail sales plunged 2.7% m/m, as Black Friday sales contributed to the November reading of 1.6%. Consumers did their Christmas shopping early and that led to a very soft reading in December.

AUD/USD Technical

  • There is resistance at 0.6613 and 0.6652

#USDCAD Wave Chart Analysis: Rally Likely Fail in 3, 7, 11 Swing (31 Jan 2024)

Short Term Elliott Wave view in USDCAD suggests that rally to 1.354 ended wave (B). Pair has since turned lower in wave (C). However, confirmation is needed to validate this view and pair still needs to break below the previous low on 12.27.2023 at 1.3172. Down from wave (B), wave (i) ended at 1.3475 and rally in wave (ii) ended at 1.3528. Pair extended lower in wave (iii) towards 1.3417 and wave (iv) ended at 1.3444. Final leg wave (v) ended at 1.3413 which completed wave ((i)). Pair then rallied in wave ((ii)) which subdivides into a zigzag structure.

Up from wave ((i)), wave (a) ended at 1.349 and pullback in wave (b) ended at 1.3425. Wave (c) higher ended at 1.3534 which completed wave ((ii)). Pair has turned lower in wave ((iii)) towards 1.3411 and rally in wave ((iv)) ended at 1.3467. Pair then made another low in wave ((v)) as a diagonal. Down from wave ((iv)), wave (i) ended at 1.3424 and wave (ii) ended at 1.3465. Wave (iii) lower ended at 1.3397, wave (iv) ended at 1.3446, and wave (v) ended at 1.3396. This completed wave ((v)) of 1 in higher degree. Expect pair to rally in wave 2 to correct cycle from 1.17.2024 high before it resumes lower. Near term, as far as pivot at 1.354 high stays intact, expect rally to fail in 3, 7, 11 swing for further downside.

Dollar reaching new lows versus the EUR, JPY, CHF, NZD

Dollar going lower into the London close

As London/European traders look to exit, the USD is trading to new session lows vs the EUR, JPY, CHF, CAD and NZD.

EURUSD: The EURUSD has moved up to the highest level since July 6 and in the process is testing its 61.8% retracement of the move down from the June 25 high. That comes in at 1.18893. The next upside target comes in at 1.18947. That was the high going back to July 6. Looking at the 5 minute chart, the buyers have been able to stay above its 100 bar moving average on that chart (blue line). That moving average currently comes in at 1.18772. It would take a move below that moving average level, the 50% of the last trend leg higher at 1.1870, and the rising 200 bar MA at 1.1865 to tilt the bias more to the downside. If those steps cannot be taken, the buyers are still holding the better hand.

USDJPY: The USDJPY move below its 100 day moving average in the last hourly bar. That moving average comes in at 109.567. The low reached 109.464. Stay below the 100 day moving average keeps the Bears/sellers firmly in control.

USDCHF: The USDCHF move below its 200 day moving average today at 0.90732. THe low price reached 0.90543. The quick and dirty short term technical bias remains negative as well was the price can remain below the 200 day moving average. A move above and sellers below the MA line, would likely cover and we should see more upside corrective probing. For now, the sellers are more control.

NZDUSD: The NZDUSD has trended higher and in the process has moved up to test its 61.8% retracement target of the July trading range at 0.70188. There is some stall against the retracement target. The price currently trades at 0.70104.

Looking at the 5-minute chart below, a corrective low in the NA session did crack below the 100 bar moving average on the five minute chart (blue line), but momentum stalled well ahead of the rising 200 bar moving average (green line in the chart below) and restarted the upside momentum. It would take a move below the earlier swing highs at 0.7002, 0.6997 and the rising 100 bar moving average at 0.69951 to give sellers some comfort, and also cause buyers to feel more uncomfortable after the trend move higher.

Dollar Steady Despite Inflation Data: 14 MAY 2021

The US Dollar kept close to its weekly high after a report showed that producer prices continued to rise, suggesting that inflation is also on the rise in the US.

The PPI had surged 1% in March, and April’s numbers showed the trend continuing. According to the report from the US Labor Department, the PPI came in at 6.2% on a year-over-year basis, above the 5.9% that analysts had predicted. Annualized core CPI, which eliminates volatile components, i.e., food and energy, came in at 4.1% against an expected 3.7%. The Labor Department also reported that initial claims for unemployment benefit was lower than expected at 473,000 for the period ended May 7th. Analysts had expected a fall to 490,000, while the previous reading was upwardly revised to 507,000 from 498,000.

In Tokyo trading as of 10:04 am, the US Dollar Index was trading at 90.7800 .DXY, up 0.03%. The EUR/USD was lower at $1.2074, down 0.0414%, off the session peak of $1.20743. The GBP/USD was also lower at $1.4044, down 0.0434%; the pair has ranged from a low of $1.40354 while the high was at $1.40617.

Markets to Focus on US Data

The economic calendar is light on market movers until later in the US market session when the US Census Bureau releases updates on retail sales. The US economy is largely consumer driven, and a rise in the numbers, while good for the economy in the short term, can be cause for concern. With inflation fears on the rise, higher retail sales could prompt speculation that the Federal Reserve might reconsider their monetary policy stance. A slew of other data is also due out from the US including industrial production and the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index which analysts are predicting will show a slight rise to 90.4.

Dollar mixed, US futures steady so far on the session:7 May 2021

Little change in the major currencies space

It is all about the US non-farm payrolls report today as the market feels rather lethargic at the moment. The dollar is trading more mixed, holding a slight advance against the commodity currencies while trailing behind the euro and pound.

That said, changes are relatively minor with EUR/USD keeping around 1.2080-90 after ECB policymaker Kazaks talked up scaling back PEPP purchases.

European stocks are faring well, keeping a modest advance, but US futures are not doing a whole lot as they keep steady and little changed on the session.

S&P 500 futures are up 0.1%, holding thereabouts since Asia Pacific trading. Meanwhile, 10-year Treasury yields are flat on the day at 1.57% and that isn’t giving traders much to work with during European morning trade.

Tick tock. Tick tock. The payroll data can’t come soon enough.
