Dollar Index shows an impressive performance of USD. DXY has gained over 7% over last year. However, EUR/USD and GBP/USD pairs show other currencies are fine too. USDPLN (5D) – Zloty, do something! Every currency is or is going to be supported by proper institutions and there are serious duels coming. Unfortunately not every currency is so ‘open’ for monetary policy tightening. Even a 100bps raise of the NBP’s interest rate hasn’t helped zloty to keep its rate on a proper level. As we see on the chart fluctuations are there and zloty showed a “sample” of its abilities…, but it was like time-limited demo version. Dollar feels really well this time, next rate hikes are expected and situation in the eastern Europe keeps influencing PLN. Let’s have a look at other forex pairs. British pound has strengthened recently – look at this slightly smooth slide!

It’s been a day full of important economic data coming from around the world. In Europe next sanctions are being discussed and Polish interest rate decision has been announced. In the USA crude oil inventories exceeded 2M and FOMC Meeting Minutes will be released shortly. Not only Minutes will influence DXY, but also rhetoric of Fed’s Harker has done. All of these events definitely influenced markets. Forex pairs fluctuated and commodities are triggered. Throughout the day crude oil has been trading quite high, over 2% higher. The closer crude oil inventories has been, the lower the price gone. 24H chart shows a rebound on the right hand side followed by another drop which is probably caused by Fed’s rhetoric and crude oil inventories indicator. Crude Oil Price Chart – 24 hours FOMC Meeting Minutes and Fed’s members rhetoric can make markets really volatile. Some fluctuations were highlighted by Investing.com. Stock markets may plunge further if the rhetoric to persist throughout the month. The next interest rate decision release takes place on May 4th. US Dollar Index – DXY – 24 hours If dollar strengthens some may say Bitcoin plunges. This time they’re right. It’s ca. 3.5% down and two significant drops are visible on the chart. The first one was noticed in the morning, and another one after Harker’s testimony. Bitcoin Price Chart – 24 hours Source/Data: Investing.com, TradingView.com Charts: Courtesy of TradingView.com

Wednesday, April 6th is a day which can’t ‘praise’ itself with loads of economic events, but those which take place in the following day are definitely crucial! There is only one news which can really wake us up tomorrow and it’s UK Construction PMI (Mar) which previously amounted to 59.1 Let’s watch it closely – data can affect GBP rate. Afternoon is much, much tempting. We begin with Canadian Ivey PMI (Mar). Previously this one hit 60.6 At 3:30 p.m. US Crude Oil inventories go public. It’s surely the most awaited indicator of the day as the price of crude is topping the headlines. There’s no doubt Polish readers are looking forward to tomorrow’s evening. At 6 p.m. interest rate decision is released by NBP. In times of Russia-Ukraine conflict the rate of zloty has been hit several times and national bank tries get it back in the game. Let’s go back to the USA. Tomorrow, at 7 p.m. FOMC Meeting Minutes is published and as we wrote last time, it can be the first ‘trailer’ of Fed’s rhetoric and next interest rate decision. The last one confirmed tightening of monetary policy. Data/Source: Investing.com Economic Calendar

Once again cryptocurrencies don’t want to make us sleepy and fluctuate significantly. Over last 24 hours the most popular ones have decreased by over 1%! BTCGBP is ca. £35.000 and ETHGBP is close to £2640. Express Analysis – how it’s going? BTC To GBP - Monthly chart shows that in the beginning of March there was a significant rise, which quickly converted to a gradual, slow rally to the current levels. It’s about £6.000, so there is no doubt the changes are noticeable. The 5-day chart shows a faster growth in the very first day of April. Since then the Bitcoin price (GBP) has been keeping £34.400-36.200 levels and even with the mentioned 1% loss, the price is still there.

All the factors which are shaping the markets these days seem to avoid gold which stays unchanged between $1800-2100. Even in the 21st century, in times of new technologies, cryptocurrencies and many, many more assets don’t deliver this stability. Beginners may be even shocked with so ‘calm’ price line of gold. Price of Gold - Daily chart Fluctuations are visible, gold visited negative levels today and inverted price line as well. Still ranging between -0.5% and +0.6% Price of Gold – Monthly Chart A spike seen at the beginning of March has been eliminated. It’s probably caused by the signals of cease fire in Ukraine.

There are many charts which heat the markets today! After the release of breaking news that Elon Musk extends its shares Twitter has rocketed! Pre-market performance of Twitter is outstanding as it has gained 25%! A friend of Elon which is DOGE (Dogecoin) is having a good time as well. Some time after the news release it has jumped ca. 10% What a day! Russia-Ukraine topping headlines, next sanctions to come? Let's have a look at the charts (courtesy of TradingView.com). Dogecoin, Tesla and TWTR are not the  only ones we want to highlight today. There were many important releases the previous week and the new one has begun shocking the markets with all of commentaries according to still remaining Russia-Ukraine conflict, sanctions and economic indicators around the world. What about currencies and Forex pairs? As we wrote in the Economic Calendar there are a lot of announcements and events which will afect the exchange rates of many currencies. In the US Crude Oil Inventories indicator is released shortly and e.g. in Poland, which is affected by many reccession factors interest rate is about to be fixed in the middle of the week. Dogecoin Chart - Daily Dynamics of DOGE weren't that dynamic (sic!) until the time of the shocking news release. Tesla Stock Price Chart - Daily Tesla has decreased a bit, let's see how the price of its stock will develop throughout the day. What about Forex pairs? GBP/USD investor may have mixed feelings as the chart shows volatility over last 24 hours. Near midday there was a significant drop which put GBPUSD bewlo the line. Because of that many investors wonder what will rhetoric of BoE and Fed bring to forex market.

It was another week full of events, geopolitical news and economic indicators releases. As the Forex pairs charts show the fluctuation weren’t always slight and developed an interesting outlook ahead of April which has just begun. EUR/USD gained over 0.5% Let’s begin with EUR/USD. Of course this pair is significantly affected by the slowly ceasing (?) conflict between Russia and Ukraine. As we can see on the chart there was a huge rise on Tuesday as the tensions were reported to loose its momentum. Cease fire has been said to come shortly and this optimism seems to had remained till the end of the week. There’s no doubt today’s fluctuations were caused by the release of NFP. The following week’s FOMC Meeting Minutes will surely let us have a closer look of dollar’s rate future. EUR/GBP gained ca. 1.1% EUR has been fighting all the week to finally beat British pound. It seems that the single currency needs to be triggered, but only a little, to rise significantly. Naturally these supporters were positive news about cease fire in the eastern Europe. In the following week BoE’s Bailey speaks and we can expect that it will be an introduction to next monetary policy decisions. USD/CHF – Swiss franc strengthened… The beginning of the week wasn’t so optimistic for CHF. Before the news coming from Ukraine it was losing the fight with dollar. The situation got better after positive news about possible cease fire. USD/PLN – Zloty feels good Poland lies close to the area where the conflict takes place. Because of corelations and other factors Polish zloty was hit several times. After tightening of monetary policy (next decisions to come shortly) and optimistic signals from Ukraine zloty strenghthened again gaining 1.6% over the week.

Our beloved altcoins have decreased significantly and rapidly what could have really scare investors and fans of these tokens. PancakeSwap was levitating really high, ca. 9% above the line to almost get rid off all the profit drifting near 3% at the time I’m writing. SHIB has fluctuated with even worse consequences as at the time we’re looking at the charts it’s -2% Daily charts (courtesy of TradingView.com) show the dynamics were slightly different. As the price lines show in the morning (6 a.m.) they weren’t, but a few hours later CAKE price simply stepped in the rocket and has been accelerating for over 6 hours to decline shortly after these rally. SHIB has behaved differently as it has been keeping the 1% gain line for such a long time to surprisingly decrease about 3 p.m. The plunge was common for all of tokens we review in this short analysis – CAKE, SHIB and LUNA – they’ve all declined.

EUR/GBP has gained over 1% in the same period of time and USD/CHF seems to be unchanged. USD/PLN after a significant weakening of zloty at the beginning of the month switched to a downtrend. USD has weakened after rumours of a ceasefire, so the pair has fluctuated. However, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not ended yet and the situation on the markets is uncertain. Many assets are more and more volatile and investors wonder what should be their next moves. One of the questions is how long will Europe depend more on the own currency than on USD.

And again we’re having a look at the crude oil price charts as this commodity is really, really volatile especially in the past few days. As the charts (courtesy of TradingView.com) show, many of ceasefire rumours haven’t turned out to be true so the price of crude oil goes back to increasing every time. As in the latest analysis we published some charts and express analysis, we should make a small update by getting to know how have the price fluctuated until today. Having said that, the monthly chart: Crude Oil Price Chart – Monthly - 8% Up The price line is like a very simplified drawing of all the events – countries’ leaders rhetoric, negotiations and today’s news about possible ceasefire.

While everybody was wondering about the end of the COVID-19 pandemy and Russia invaded Ukraine what started affecting the markets. Obviously natural gas and crude oil price are volatile recently. EU leaders accompanied by Joe Biden discuss outlooks and most probably next sanctions. As we wrote in the report about natural gas price the rise started to confuse the world few days after the invasion. It seems that all sanctions and fail of ceasefire negotiations made the crude oil price rise gain momentum. In the middle of March prices got back to the levels of the beginning of the month, but aggressive rhetoric of Russia made BRENT and WTI trading higher again. Let’s have a look at the Crude Oil Price monthly chart (courtesy of TradingView.com) 5-days chart (courtesy of TradingView.com) of Crude Oil Price shows a significant rise in recent days Data/Source: TradingView.com Charts: Courtesy of TradingView.com

Generally speaking Russian currency and Russia-associated markets are really volatile at the moment and there are many assets to watch in the following days. Let’s begin with natural gas price. Obviously monthly chart (yes, it’s been one month since the warfare started) shows the fluctuations caused by the start of invasion which took place on February 24th We may say that the true rise came few days later, as negotiations of cease-fire haven’t changed a thing and sanctions have begun to impact the markets. Further developments containing some signals of a ceasefire appeared not to coincide with the reality heading price of natural gas to a next rise.

Next rate hikes are highly expected.

As we said in the week before, this week is not full of major and certain monetary policy statements. Powell speaks in a hawkish manner and BoE's Bailey testifies as well, but a certain interest rate decision comes on Thursday as SNB releases interest rate decision. The previos one amounted to -0.75% Monay-noon As mentioned at 8:30 a.m. SNB speaks its mind. One hour later it's time for a press conference.

Geopolitical tensions and measures to fight inflation are shaping prices of many assets. Undefinied regulations of crypto and santions applied on Russia affects gold price, crude oil and Bitcoin. Gold - XAUUSD Since the beginning of Russian-Ukrainian war safe has been topping the headlines as so-called safe-haven. The yellow metal has gained ca. 0.5% since the beginning of the war. Bitcoin - BTC/USD Bitcoin is of course very volatile to all of geopolitical factors, but surprisingly Bitcoin price keeps the 'predictable' (!?) line. Crude Oil - WTI Crude Oil inventories release caused a significant uptrend. How long will it take to normalize? Sanctions as effect of Russia-Ukraine conflict and inflations doesn't change the game. Source/Data: Investing.com, TradingView.com

All the markets’ old boys like crude, gold and silver are still vulnerable for the mix of the factors shaping the prices. Naturally, stocks seems to be more dynamic as the recent events show. China stocks have been fluctuating recently as, among others, COVID-19 and negotiations with the USA were topping the headlines. Global sanctions affect WTI/BRENT price – the supplies from Russia are about to be limited in Europe so the price is to rise again. Going back to gold - Hawkish rhetoric of Fed keeps precious metals investors uncertain. There’s no doubt safe-haven must be watched all the time to decide if it’s the best moment to sell or buy. Crude Oil – WTI Luckily crude oil price has decreased by 3% over last 24 hours and it’s probably ‘waiting’ for the next significant geopolitical updates. According to Reuters, some countries of the EU are still hesitating to stop importing crude oil from Russia. Gold – XAUUSD Yes, price of gold has decreased by almost 1%, but… it could be worse as Powell doesn’t hesitate to present hawkish comments. Silver – XAGUSD Silver price chart shows a significant decline which has helped it to decrease by 1.7% over last day. As wrote above, Powell testimony will let us visualise a more detailed outlook.

In the new series we focus on some interesting, meme and other… non-typical coins. Today we highlight fluctuations of popular SHIB, DOGE and tasty PancakeSwap. PancakeSwap (CAKE) Price has risen by 5% today what’s probably not so surprising as it seems to be very activating project with loads of announcements on Twitter. Dogecoin (DOGE) The project which is, let’s say, “supported” by Elon Musk keeps arousing interest. Price has risen by ca. 2% until now. The price has reached but declined suddenly… Shiba Inu (SHIB) Another iteration of Doge-inspired coin has declined recently as well, ranging between 2-3% gain at the time I’m writing.

Even if the ongoing week is not that tempting as the previous one was, there are still many events to follow. The most awaited are surely Fed’s Chair Testimony and Crude Oil Inventories as these can affect dollar exchange rate. In Great Britain BoE’s Bailey testifies as well so the pair GBP/USD can interact with both events. Morning-noon – 22/03/22 As always Britons wake up very early in the morning at 7 a.m. to announce CPI (YoY) which previously amounted to 5.5% At noon Bailey grabs the mic to and is expected to release a sneak-peak of BoE’s monetary policy. Bailey Feat. Powell we may say as at the same time in the US Jerome Powell testifies. Afternoon – 22/03/22 Half an hour later (at 12:30 p.m.) UK Annual Budget is released, at 2 p.m. it’s time to meet the US New Home Sales of February (prev. 801K). After this one Crude Oil Inventories indicator goes public – the previous value was 4.345M. Data/Source: Investing.com Economic Calendar Time: GMT

The last raise of Fed’s interest rate seems to be tip of the iceberg as hawkish rhetoric is vivid in following Jerome Powell’s testimonies. Inflation is still here and according to Investing.com Goldman Sachs predicts that Fed’s next moves are 50bps raises in the two following months. As we’re waiting for tomorrows midday (GMT) which is the time Fed Chairman speaks, let’s review how have most traded, dollar-based pairs traded over last 24 hours. EUR/USD Morning declines appear to be only temporary, USD has weakened in the afternoon and slightly decreased as the pair gained 0.1% until now. GBP/USD The pair has gained ca. 0.6% and can be threated as a ‘trailer’ of the dollar strengthening later this week. USD/JPY After today’s news about Russian-Japanese end of negotiations considering official truce of World War II (!) and ongoing hawkish Fed’s rhetoric Japanese yen has weakened and the pair has gained ca. 1.1% USD/PLN Exotic pair shows an interesting performance once again after an increase of over 0.4% USDPLN has decreased by over 0.5% as the pair seems to be affected by many factors as the country lies close to Ukraine and had its interest rate increased two weeks ago.

The most popular British index begins the week in a delicate manner. The amplitude is not that high and we’re to wait a bit longer for more exciting fluctuations. Antofagasta, BP and Anglo American all companies linked with commodities and they all rise. These stock prices fluctuate mostly as the global situation seems to be unsure with the tensions between Russia and Ukraine keep going on. BP and Shell gains as crude oil price increase so expect next uptrends coming, as the 'black gold' keeps rising.

Sanctions keep affecting the supply diversification. It’s not sure how will the following days shape so civilians, investors and big companies are following, we may say, indefinite fluctuations of Brent and WTI. The price has increased by ca. 20% since the beginning of the war on February 24th. As the chart below shows the price was interacting with the news about crude oil inventories, testimonies of countries’ leaders and all the communication. Crude Oil Price Chart – 24/02-21/03 Today crude oil has gained ca. X% opening higher as the war goes on and there’s no significant signal that it’s coming to an end. Ukrainians don’t surrender in Mariupol and, according to Bloomberg, Kremlin says that consequences of sanctions will seriously impact Europe. Crude Oil Price Chart 21/03/22 – [UPDATE: 14:05 GMT] It’s not sure what can we expect from the following days. A thing we can be sure of is that we should follow the Crude Oil Inventories release on Wednesday. Follow us on Twitter to check the markets’ reaction and don’t miss a thing!

German Index doesn’t shock investors with significant fluctuations despite the fact many countries interact with persistent conflict between Russia and Ukraine. DAX opened only a bit lower than it closed on Friday, March 17th and seems to end the day without any major move. As before we highlight below three companies which have gained the most during today’s session. BMW Bavarian automotive company is today’s leader, as until now it has gained over 2%. BAYN - Bayer Well-known brand associated with medicaments until now has gained over 2% DBK – Deutsche Bank One of the most recongizable banks of the world has gained ca. 2% until now Charts: courtesy of TradingView.com Source: TradingView.com

BTC/USD Bitcoin has added a lot over that week. A 10% gain has remained despite the fact Fed raised interest rate. Gold Gold plunged after the Fed decision, but didn’t crash ending the week with a not so big decline. S&P 500 SPX rally was caused, among others, by Chinese stocks which are said to be back in the game. UK 100 (FTSE 100) The British had its ups and downs this week, but all in all gained ca. 4% at the end of the day (week!)

It’s been almost two weeks since Russia invaded Ukraine. Even if the first day weren’t affected by huge rises, recent days show a major lift across markets. Source: TradingView.com Nickel There are some sensational rises beginning with Nickel price which increased by over 150% what can significantly affect many branches as Nickel is used, among others, in automotive and medical industries. Gold Gold raised by ‘only’ 4%, but it trades over magic $2000 level which nears ATH of Ca. $2100 (2020). XAU is believed to be a safe-haven as tensions rise and other assets’ fluctuations scare off investors. Crude Oil – BRENT and WTI Crude Oil prices have been rising since the first sights of invasion, but hitting Ca. $130 per barrel (to put it mildly) confused both investors and drivers around the world. Generally speaking, Crude Oil price has increased by Ca. 30% since the beginning of the war. Bitcoin BTC hasn’t fluctuated much and sticks to the levels near $40k, increasing by Ca. 5% since the invasion. Russian Rouble Currency of the invader has weakened significantly – by ca. 40% as RUBUSD chart shows. It will be really hard to get the Russian currency back to the game after such decrease. MOEX Some say Russian Index (RTSI – RU50) ‘surrendered’ shortly after the invasion has started as it remains closed since 1/03. At that time RTSI had been ca. 26% higher than on the first day of the warfare. DAX (GER 40) One of the greatest European index has lost almost 10%, what shows how broad is the influence of Russia-Ukraine War. Wheat Last but (definitely) not least… Wheat price increased by over 40% as conflicted countries – Russia and Ukraine are the major suppliers of such commodities.

As we wrote on Friday, this week is not full of major events, but still there are some which definitely worth a follow.

Japan: The latter major event tomorrow is the release of Japanese GDP (YoY) (5.4%) which takes place at the eleventh hour - 11:50 p.m.  Data: Investing.com Time: GMT

Russia-Ukraine tensions keeps affecting markets, especially commodities, which are the most vulnerable to such conflicts. As we know international sanctions are being introduced so global inflation gains momentum. Crude Oil Price – Implications: UKOIL gained Ca. 8% on today’s opening, however, as the chart (courtesy of TradingView.com) shows, a small downtrend appeared sometime late. BRENT’s west brother WTI (USOIL) increased even more – almost 10% As Patrick De Haan claims: Patrick De Haan's Twitt

Monday seems to be a calm beginning of the week (despite the Russia-Ukraine conflict) as there’s no any major event planned. The rest of the week 7/03-11/03 will surely arouse more interest. What to follow? Have a look at Economic Calendar by FXMAG.COM Tuesday – Japan and Poland The first important indicator of the week is the Japanese GDP (QoQ) (Q4) which is released very lately on Tuesday at 11:40 p.m. The previous value – 1.3% As tensions rise, the country which lies closely to Ukraine has its currency (PLN) weakened, so the Interest Rate Decision of National Bank released on Tuesday as well is worth a look as well. Wednesday - USA On Wednesday we focus on USA, where JOLTs Job Openings (3 p.m.) and US Crude Oil Inventories (3:30 p.m.) are released. Thursday – European Union and USA Thursday is full of Europe-targeted events. According to Investing.com, at 10 a.m., EU Leaders meet at the Summit and shortly after midday ECB releases its Marginal Lending Facility its Interest Rate Decision. At 1.30 p.m. there is a Press Conference planned.

Economic Calendar by FXMAG.COM – 04/03/2022 This week wasn’t easy for anybody and we might say markets and governors “have taken that into consideration” and let us slow down in the end of this week. We don’t have many events to follow on Friday. Australia The biggest challenge would be staying awake at 0:30 a.m. to check out the Australian Retail Sales (MoM) (prev. -4.4%). United Kingdom Nine hours later, at 9:30 a.m. UK Construction PMI is presented. The previous value of this indicator was 56.3 North America According to Investing.com, In the USA, at 1:30 p.m., the Bureau of Labor Statistics presents Nonfarm Payrolls (467K) and Unemployment Rate (4.0%).

There’s no doubt it’s surely crucial to follow this one in times of fluctuations of the single currency. USA After this worthwhile visit in Old Continent we propose a travel to the USA, where Initial Jobless Claims are presented at 1:30 p.m. However it’s not the most important event tomorrow, as Jerome Powell (FED) speaks at 3 p.m. ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI (59.9) is released the same time.

Even if we don’t care about ADP Nonfarm Employment Change which will be released at 1:15 p.m., many will follow the testimony of Fed’s Jerome Powell at 3 p.m. followed by Crude Oil Inventories (prev. 4.515M) to be released half an hour later.

PKN Orlen makes next steps forward in its development. Some moves containing cooperation with Saudi Aramco and Hungarian company MOL has been announced. As we read on Polish company website - ORLEN.PL: ‘This is a watershed moment for the Polish fuel industry. We are about to finalise the acquisition of LOTOS Group, a deal intended to benefit the entire Polish economy, both companies involved, their respective customers, employees and shareholders. Ever since the process was launched, we have emphasised that the priority is to derive additional benefits from the merger remedies, and we have achieved just that. If the merger is followed through, it would provide an opportunity to ensure supplies to Poland of crude oil of sustainably high quality from Saudi Aramco. Such international partnerships are crucial to our vision of building the largest multi-utility group in this part of Europe. In the retail area, we have negotiated with our Hungarian partner an asset exchange deal, which will directly advance our plans of geographical expansion by strengthening the retail chain in Slovakia, but also through the entry into a completely new market of Hungary. Proceeds from the divestment of fuel stations will partly be applied to acquire another 100 retail sites across the region, in line with our strategic objectives. The merger between PKN ORLEN and the LOTOS Group will mark the inception of a single strong group capable of delivering environmentally friendly energy to the Polish economy and meeting the challenges posed by the fuel and energy transition,’ says Daniel Obajtek, President of the PKN ORLEN Management Board. ‘These acquisitions will support the diversification of Aramco’s product portfolio across the hydrocarbon value chain — including a focus on liquids-to-chemicals pathways. Our expanding global network of refineries and chemical joint ventures allows us to reach new markets with our products, and strategically place crude oil volumes across different geographies. Our business objectives for oil and chemicals are closely aligned with PKN ORLEN, and we are exploring additional opportunities in the European petrochemicals market, as well as in R&D,’ says Mohammed Al Qahtani, Aramco Vice President for Downstream. The acquisition of the LOTOS Group by PKN ORLEN would provide a real opportunity to diversify the sources of feedstock supplies. If the acquisition is finalised, PKN ORLEN will guarantee, under a long-term agreement, crude oil supplies from Saudi Aramco at the level of 200 to 337 thousand barrels per day. It is estimated that post merger this would cover up to 45% of total oil demand from the entire ORLEN Group, in Poland, Lithuania and the Czech Republic. In order to maximise benefits of the partnerships with strong global players, PKN ORLEN, under separate agreements with Saudi Aramco and SABIC (one of the world’s largest petrochemical companies), is to discuss potential joint investment projects in advanced high-margin petrochemicals. As potential areas for collaboration, opportunities to pursue development projects in Poland or in Central and Eastern Europe will be explored. PKN ORLEN and Saudi Aramco have also signed an agreement providing for their possible collaboration in research and development. R&D has been assigned a key priority in the ORLEN2030 strategy, and projects designed to foster innovation have been stepped up over the past three years. One of these projects is a state-of-the art research and development centre launched by PKN ORLEN in 2021, which provides real support in the pursuit of its strategic goals.  Source:
