The Swing Overview - Week 19 Stock indices continued to weaken strongly last week, while the US dollar has already surpassed the mark 104 and is at 20-year highs. However, a set of important data is behind us, which could bring some temporary relief to the equity markets. The Czech koruna weakened sharply after the appointment of the new CNB Governor Ales Michl, who is a proponent of a dovish approach. Thus, the rise in interest rates in the Czech Republic appears to be close to its peak.   Macroeconomic data The US consumer inflation for April was reported on Wednesday, which came in at 8.3% on year-on-year basis. Analysts were expecting inflation to be 8.1%. Although the figure achieved was higher than expectations, it was still lower than the 8.5% inflation figure achieved in March. On a month-on-month basis, the price increase in April was 0.3%, significantly lower than in March when prices rose by 1.5%.   On Thursday, industrial inflation was reported at 8.8% year-on-year and 0.4% month-on-month for April.   The positive thing about this data is that inflation declined from previous readings. However, it is important to note that the year-on-year comparison is based on data where inflation was also higher in the previous year due to the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.   The Fed chief reiterated that he expects another 0.50% point rise in interest rates at the next two Fed meetings. He also mentioned that a higher rate hike cannot be ruled out if necessary.   The US 10-year bond yields came down from their peak and made a slight correction. However, the US dollar continued to strengthen and broke the resistance at 104. The dollar is thus at 20-year highs. Figure 1: US 10-year bond yields and USD index on the daily chart   Equity indices heavily oversold The strong dollar, rising US bond yields, the war in Ukraine and the effects of the lockdown in China were the main reasons for the decline in equity indices. The SP 500 index hit 3,860, the lowest level since March 2021. This is also where long-term support is. However, the important macro data is behind us and the market has processed all the available fundamental information. This could bring temporary relief to the markets and the index could make an upward correction. The fall in 10-year bond yields, gives this move some boost as well.   Figure 2: The SP 500 on H4 and D1 chart However, from a technical analysis perspective, the US SP 500 index remains in a current downtrend as the markets have formed lower low and is also below both the SMA 100 and EMA 50 moving averages on the H4 and daily charts. The nearest resistance is 4040 - 4070. The next resistance is at 4,140 and especially 4,293 - 4,300. The support is at 3,860 - 3,900.   German DAX index In macroeconomic data, the German ZEW Economic Sentiment for May was reported last week and showed a reading of -34.3, an improvement from the previous month's reading of -41.0. Inflation in Germany for April is at 7.4% on year-on-year basis and up 0.8% from March (the previous month's increase was 2.5%). Figure 3: German DAX index on H4 and daily chart The index continues to move in a downtrend along with the major world indices. The price has reached the SMA 100 moving average on the H4 chart, which tends to signal resistance in a downtrend. The price is moving below the SMA 100 on both the daily chart and the H4 chart, confirming the bearish sentiment. The nearest support according to the H4 is 13,600 - 13,650. The resistance is 14,300 - 14,330. The next resistance is 14,592 - 14,632.   The big sell-off in the euro continues The euro fell to 1.0356 against the dollar, the lowest value since January 2017. This value is also an area of significant support where price could stall. Fundamentally, the euro's depreciation is due to the strong dollar and the Fed's hawkish policy, which contrasts with the ECB's policy of not raising rates yet.    Figure 4: The EURUSD on H4 and daily chart Eurozone inflation data will be reported next week, which could be an important catalyst for further movement. The significant support is priced around 1.0350 - 1.040. The current resistance is at 1.05.   Czech koruna weakened strongly on the new governor appointment The President Miloš Zeman surprised with the appointment of Ales Michl for the governor of the CNB. Michl is known for his dovish views, having spoken out against raising interest rates at recent meetings. His appointment was welcomed in the markets by a strong depreciation of the Czech koruna. However, the bank later intervened in the markets by selling part of its foreign exchange reserves to prevent further depreciation of the Czech koruna.   It is important to know that the Bank's monetary policy is decided by the seven-member Bank Board. So far, the proportion for voting on rate hikes has been 5:2. But by the end of June, the president must appoint 3 new board members. This could significantly change the voting ratio on the board and set a new course for the bank's policy, which would mean a halt to the rise in interest rates. However, it is likely that at the June board meeting the board, still with the old composition, will decide on further interest rate increases. Figure 5: The USD/CZK and the EUR/CZK on the daily chart The Czech koruna has reached 24.36 against the dollar and 25.47 against the euro, from which it started to descend after the CNB interventions.  

The Swing Overview – Week 28 2022 This week's new record inflation readings sent a clear message to central bankers. Further interest rate hikes must be faster than before. The first of the big banks to take this challenge seriously was the Bank of Canada, which literally shocked the markets with an unprecedented rate hike of a full 1%. This is obviously not good for stocks, which weakened again in the past week. The euro also stumbled and has already fallen below parity with the usd. Uncertainty, on the other hand, favours the US dollar, which has reached new record highs.   Macroeconomic data The data from the US labour market, the so-called NFP, beat expectations, as the US economy created 372 thousand new jobs in June (the expectation was 268 thousand) and the unemployment rate remained at 3.6%. But on the other hand, unemployment claims continued to rise, reaching 244k last week, the 7th week in a row of increase.   But the crucial news was the inflation data for June. It exceeded expectations and reached a new record of 9.1% on year-on-year basis, the highest value since 1981. Inflation rose by 1.3% on month-on-month basis. Energy prices, which rose by 41.6%, had a major impact on inflation. Declines in commodity prices, such as oil, have not yet influenced June inflation, which may be some positive news. Core inflation excluding food and energy prices rose by 5.9%, down from 6% in May.   The value of inflation was a shock to the markets and the dollar strengthened sharply. We can see this in the dollar index, which has already surpassed 109. We will see how the Fed, which will be deciding on interest rates in less than two weeks, will react to this development. A rate hike of 0.75% is very likely and the question is whether even such an increase will be enough for the markets. Meanwhile, there has been an inversion on the yield curve on US bonds. This means that yields on 2-year bonds are higher than those on 10-year bonds. This is one of the signals of a recession. Figure 1: The US Treasury yield curve on the monthly chart and the USD index on the daily chart   The SP 500 Index Apart from macroeconomic indicators, the ongoing earnings season will also influence the performance of the indices this month. Among the major banks, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley reported results this week. Both banks reported earnings, but they were below investor expectations. The impact of more expensive funding sources that banks need to finance their activities is probably starting to show.   We must also be interested in the data in China, which, due to the size of the Chinese economy, has an impact on the movement of global indices. 2Q GDP in China was 0.4% on year-on-year basis, a significant drop from the previous quarter (4.8%). Strict lockdowns against new COVID-19 outbreaks had an impact on economic situation in the country. Figure 2: SP 500 on H4 and D1 chart The threat of a recession is seeping into the SP 500 index with another decline, which stalled last week at the support level, which according to the H4 is in the 3,740-3,750 range. The next support is 3,640 - 3,670.  The nearest resistance is 3,930 - 3,950. German DAX index The German ZEW sentiment, which shows expectations for the next 6 months, reached - 53.8. This is the lowest reading since 2011. Inflation in Germany reached 7.6% in June. This is lower than the previous month when inflation was 7.9%. Concerns about the global recession continue to affect the DAX index, which has tested significant supports. Figure 3: German DAX index on H4 and daily chart Strong support according to the daily chart is 12,443 - 12,500, which was tested again last week. We can take the moving averages EMA 50 and SMA 100 as a resistance. The nearest horizontal resistance is 12,950 - 13,000.   The euro broke parity with the dollar The euro fell below 1.00 on the pair with the dollar for the first time in 20 years, reaching a low of 0.9950 last week. Although the euro eventually closed above parity, so from a technical perspective it is not a valid break yet, the euro's weakening points to the headwinds the eurozone is facing: high inflation, weak growth, the threat in energy commodity supplies, the war in Ukraine. Figure 4: EUR/USD on H4 and daily chart Next week the ECB will be deciding on interest rates and it is obvious that there will be some rate hike. A modest increase of 0.25% has been announced. Taking into account the issues mentioned above, the motivation for the ECB to raise rates by a more significant step will not be very strong. The euro therefore remains under pressure and it is not impossible that a fall below parity will occur again in the near future.   The nearest resistance according to the H4 chart is at 1.008 - 1.012. A support is the last low, which is at 0.9950 - 0.9960.   Bank of Canada has pulled out the anti-inflation bazooka Analysts had expected the Bank of Canada to raise rates by 0.75%. Instead, the central bank shocked markets with an unprecedented increase by a full 1%, the highest rate hike in 24 years. The central bank did so in response to inflation, which is the highest in Canada in 40 years. With this jump in rates, the bank is trying to prevent uncontrolled price increases.   The reaction of the Canadian dollar has been interesting. It strengthened significantly immediately after the announcement. However, then it began to weaken sharply. This may be because investors now expect the US Fed to resort to a similarly sharp rate hike. Figure 5: USD/CAD on H4 and daily chart Another reason may be the decline in oil prices, which the Canadian dollar is correlated with, as Canada is a major oil producer. The oil is weakening due to fears of a drop in demand that would accompany an economic recession. Figure 6: Oil on the H4 and daily charts Oil is currently in a downtrend. However, it has reached a support value, which is in the area near $94 per barrel. The support has already been broken, but on the daily chart oil closed above this value. Therefore, it is not a valid break yet.  

The previous trading week became one of the most volatile in the past month. Bitcoin made a bullish breakout beyond the range of $26.6k–$27.5k, but later experienced a price retracement to familiar levels. The previous week ended with another attempt by the asset to break the upper boundary of the $26.6k–$27.5k range.       The price increase occurred against the backdrop of synergy between Asian and American investors who were opening long positions. Despite consolidated efforts, Bitcoin failed to break through, resulting in a decline in the asset. BTC begins the new trading week with a retest of the lower boundary of the channel at $26.6k.     Fundamental background The attempt to achieve a bullish breakthrough at the $27.5k level can also be attributed to positive macroeconomic statistics. It is reported that the unemployment rate in the United States reached 3.7% against expectations of 3.5%. This is an indirect consequence of the Federal Reserve's policy of raising key rates and withdrawing liquidity from the global economy.     BBG reports that macro data have instilled optimism in investors regarding the Federal Reserve's policy.   The majority on the CME expects a pause in key rate hikes in June, which could have a positive impact on liquidity. The resolution of the situation with the national debt can also instill confidence in the crypto and other markets.       It is reported that an agreement to increase the debt ceiling is already awaiting the signature of the U.S. President. Once the agreement comes into effect, the U.S. Treasury will receive a stimulus of about $4 trillion. Considering that USDT market capitalization has reached an all-time high, June could become a month of bullish movement.   BTC investors continue to accumulate A classic pause in active BTC trading is accompanied by massive accumulation, which is a bullish signal. Over the past three weeks, BTC daily trading volumes have not exceeded $20 billion, and the number of unique addresses fluctuates around 700k-800k. These figures are insufficient for significant price movements, and thus BTC remains within the $26.6k–$27.5k range.     Meanwhile, almost all categories of investors are accumulating BTC volumes en masse, creating a strong foothold for further price increases. It is reported that BTC miners accumulated cryptocurrencies worth $540 million in the last week. Glassnode reports that "whales" continue to aggressively increase their Bitcoin holdings.     It is important to note that cryptocurrency trading started on the Hong Kong Exchange last week, which can lead to even more rapid accumulation and increased liquidity. Taking into account on-chain metrics and fundamental factors, it can be concluded that BTC will resume its upward movement in the near future.   BTC/USD Analysis Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has retested the upper boundary of the $26.6k–$27.5k channel. Due to increased selling pressure and successful defense of the $27.5k level, the cryptocurrency's price started a sharp decline and reached the lower boundary of the channel at $26.6k. Bulls need to maintain the price within the current range to stabilize the situation.       Technical metrics on the daily chart indicate a continuation of the downward price movement. The stochastic oscillator is still in a bearish crossover, and the RSI has broken below the 45 level. There is some activation of buyers; however, the current volume is insufficient to protect the level.     On the 4-hour timeframe, the main technical metrics have started to turn upwards. However, bears still have the advantage, and there is a possibility of further decline towards the $26.4k–$26.5k zone. That area is where the second order block is located, which sellers need to surpass to reach $25.5k.   Conclusion Bitcoin continues to consolidate within the range of $26.6k-$27.5k with active accumulation. If the current dynamics are maintained, there is a high probability of the resumption of an upward movement for Bitcoin. As for short-term targets, buyers need to hold the $26.5k level to achieve the potential bullish scenario.  

Analysis of transactions and tips for trading GBP/USD The test of 1.2679, coinciding with the rise of the MACD line from zero, prompted a buy signal that led to a price increase of over 30 pips. Pound gained in price after buyers flocked into the market due to the weak manufacturing activity data in both the UK and the US. As for today, markets will be closed in the afternoon due to the Independence Day celebrations in the US. Trading activity will also be limited.   For long positions: Buy when pound hits 1.2711 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2744 (thicker green line on the chart). However, do not expect a strong rise in the pair today. When buying, make sure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Euro can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.2663, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.2711 and 1.2744.     For short positions: Sell when pound reaches 1.2663 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2630. Pressure will not be very much today. When selling, traders should make sure that the MACD line lies below zero or drops down from it. Euro can also be sold after two consecutive price tests of 1.2711, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.2663 and 1.2630.   What's on the chart: Thin green line - entry price at which you can buy GBP/USD Thick green line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further growth above this level is unlikely. Thin red line - entry price at which you can sell GBP/USD Thick red line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further decline below this level is unlikely. MACD line- it is important to be guided by overbought and oversold areas when entering the market       Important:   Novice traders need to be very careful when making decisions about entering the market. Before the release of important reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid being caught in sharp fluctuations in the rate. If you decide to trade during the release of news, then always place stop orders to minimize losses. Without placing stop orders, you can very quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade large volumes. And remember that for successful trading, you need to have a clear trading plan. Spontaneous trading decision based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for an intraday trader.  

China strikes back in the tech war, restricting exports of gallium and germanium China is imposing controls on exports of gallium and germanium, which are used to make semiconductors and electronics, in the latest development in the global battle to control chipmaking technology.   China dominates supply of high-tech metals The restrictions, which will take effect from 1 August, will apply to gallium and germanium metals and several of their compounds. Exporters will need to apply for licenses from the commerce ministry if they want to begin or continue to ship gallium and germanium out of the country. They will be required to report details of the overseas buyers and their applications. China said the new licensing system was aimed at protecting national security. China holds the dominant position when it comes to high-tech metals, like gallium and germanium. The two metals are key in chipmaking, communications, electric vehicles and industries. The metals also have applications in the military industry – in radars, high-power lasers and spy satellites. The Chinese measures come days after the Netherlands announced plans to apply the latest set of controls to limit the sale of high-end chipmaking equipment abroad. The move will effectively bar ASML, the Dutch company producing the world’s most advanced semiconductor-making tools, from reaching Chinese companies. Japan and the US have also taken steps to limit Chinese companies' access to chips and chipmaking equipment. China is the world-leading producer of gallium and germanium so any restrictions on exports to the rest of the world will likely increase prices for manufacturers or slow down production. Both metals are on the European Union’s list of critical raw materials, deemed “crucial to Europe’s economy”. China accounted for about 98% of the world’s gallium production in 2022, estimated at 430,000kg in 2021. China was also the world’s leading producer of germanium in 2022, with the country controlling 68% of global refinery production, estimated at 140,000kg in 2021, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS), with the rest of processing spread across Europe and North America. The metals are not found naturally. They are both a by-product of the refineries of other metals. Gallium is a by-product of processing bauxite and zinc ores, while germanium is formed as a by-product of zinc production. Gallium is a soft silvery metal, similar to aluminium. About 95% of all gallium produced is used to make gallium arsenide (GaAs), a compound used in microwave and infrared circuits, semiconductors and blue and violet LEDs. The compound gallium nitride (GaN) is used as a semiconductor in Blu-ray technology, mobile phones and pressure sensors for touch switches. There are no substitutes for its use in some products. Gallium is not currently recyclable. China exported 94 metric tons of gallium in 2022, up 25% from the prior year, according to Chinese customs. US imports of gallium metal and gallium arsenide wafers in 2022 were worth about $3m and $200m, respectively, according to USGS. Germanium, a silvery-white metal, is used in the manufacturing of fibre optics to transfer data and information, as well as high-speed chips and infrared radiation. It can be used in military applications, including night-vision goggles. Silicon can be used as a less-expensive substitute for germanium in certain electronic applications and in some light-emitting-diode applications, while zinc selenide and germanium glass substitute for germanium metal in infrared applications systems, but often at the expense of performance. Around 30% of the global germanium supply is produced from recycled materials. In the US, for example, germanium scrap is now recovered from decommissioned military equipment. The recycling programme is expected to produce up to 3,000 kilograms per year of high-purity germanium ingot that could be consumed for night-vision and thermal-sensing devices and other military uses. China exported 43.7 metric tons of unwrought and wrought germanium last year, according to data from Chinese customs. The US took $60m of the metal, while the EU imported $130m of germanium in 2022, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Beijing’s move highlights China’s dominant position in the global production of gallium and germanium. There is no major global shortage of gallium or germanium. China dominates production of these two metals not because they are rare, but because it has been able to keep their production costs fairly low and manufacturers elsewhere haven’t been able to match the country’s competitive costs. Gallium and germanium can be costly, technically challenging, energy-intensive and polluting and very few facilities outside of China are able to extract the two metals. Gallium, for example, is an energy-intensive process, being a by-product of the processing of bauxite ore for aluminium and zinc ore. As China has been increasing its share of production, other countries have reduced their output, including Germany and Kazakhstan. Other producing countries include Japan, South Korea, and Russia for gallium, with an output of around 10,000 metric tonnes in 2021, according to the USGS, while the US, Canada, Belgium and Russia also produce germanium. Canada’s Teck Resources is the biggest germanium producer in North America, mining the metal alongside zinc and lead from its Trail smelter in British Columbia, while in the US, Indium Corporation produces the metal. Canadian speciality materials maker 5NPlus also produces both metals. In Europe, Belgium’s Umicore produces both germanium and gallium.

Analysis of transactions and tips for trading GBP/USD The test of 1.2720 on Friday afternoon, coinciding with the rise of the MACD line from zero, prompted a buy signal that led to a price increase of around 50 pips.   Weak data on the US labor market led to a sharp rise in GBP/USD. However, this did not last long, as already during today's Asian session, the pair fell, compensating for most of Friday's growth. In addition, buyers should not expect much today because only good data on the UK housing price index and confident defense of the level of 1.2705 will there be chances of a rally. For long positions: Buy when pound hits 1.2736 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2772 (thicker green line on the chart). Growth may occur. However, when buying, ensure that the MACD line lies above zero or rises from it. Pound can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.2705, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.2736 and 1.2772. For short positions: Sell when pound reaches 1.2705 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.2673. Pressure will increase with weak data and inactivity around 1.2705. However, when selling, ensure that the MACD line lies below zero or drops down from it.

Before the release of important reports, it is best to stay out of the market to avoid being caught in sharp fluctuations in the rate. If you decide to trade during the release of news, then always place stop orders to minimize losses. Without placing stop orders, you can very quickly lose your entire deposit, especially if you do not use money management and trade large volumes. And remember that for successful trading, you need to have a clear trading plan. Spontaneous trading decision based on the current market situation is an inherently losing strategy for an intraday trader.    

Analysis of transactions and tips for trading EUR/USD The test of 1.0961 on Friday afternoon, coinciding with the rise of the MACD line from zero, prompted a buy signal that led to a price increase of over 40 pips.     Reports on the volume of orders in Germany and industrial output in France and Italy did not help euro rise last Friday. However, weak data on the US labor market favored bullish traders, leading to a sharp increase in EUR/USD during the US trading session. Today, pressure may return on the pair, unless the data on industrial production in Germany and investor confidence in the eurozone show very good values. Although disappointing reports will continue the pair's decline, a lower-priced euro will certainly attract more buyers.   For long positions: Buy when euro hits 1.0989 (green line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.1035. Bullish traders will return to the market in the event of very good reports on the eurozone. However, before buying, ensure that the MACD line lies above zero or just starting to rise from it. Euro can also be bought after two consecutive price tests of 1.0960, but the MACD line should be in the oversold area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0989 and 1.1035   For short positions: Sell when euro reaches 1.0960 (red line on the chart) and take profit at the price of 1.0919. Pressure will intensify in the case of weak data from the eurozone. However, before selling, ensure that the MACD line lies below zero or drops down from it. Euro can also be sold after two consecutive price tests of 1.0989, but the MACD line should be in the overbought area as only by that will the market reverse to 1.0960 and 1.0919.     What's on the chart: Thin green line - entry price at which you can buy EUR/USD Thick green line - estimated price where you can set Take-Profit (TP) or manually fix profits, as further growth above this level is unlikely.

Singapore inflation rises more than expected Headline inflation heated up to 4.7% year-on-year compared to expectations of a 4.5% rise.   October inflation heats up more than expected Singapore's headline inflation rose to 4.7% YoY, higher than the median forecast of a 4.5% increase from October last year. Prices were up 0.2% from the previous month. Core inflation, which is the preferred measure of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), rebounded to 3.3% YoY, up from the previous month's 3.0% gain. The central bank was expecting some upside pressure on prices in the near term owing to higher energy prices and utilities but the acceleration in October was more than market participants were anticipating.  As expected, transport costs picked up (8.4% YoY vs 6.3% previous) as did healthcare (5.2% YoY) and housing & utilities (3.9% YoY). Meanwhile, items related to recreation & culture saw prices increase 5.8% YoY (vs 4.3% previous), reflecting still robust domestic spending, which figured in the latest 3Q GDP report.  For the year, the MAS expects headline inflation to average roughly 5% YoY while core inflation is forecast to settle at between 2.5-3.5% YoY.            Inflation picks up more than expected in October
