14 de gener • Comentaris del mercat • 2021 visualitzacions • Desactiva en augmentar la inflació dels EUA i el dèficit del govern dels EUA, el USD augmenta en conseqüència
Two high
impact economic data affected the value of USD during the trading sessions of
Wednesday 13. Inflation (CPI) came in at 1.4% annually due to a 0.4% rise month
on month, an 8.4% gasoline cost rise for consumers was the main driver for the
increase.
The Federal
budget balance beat the forecasts made by Bloomberg and Reuters, coming in at -$144B
versus predictions of -$200B. Although the reading is a significant rise compared
to the -$13.3B gap recorded at the same time last year, market participants concluded
that the US govt might need less stimulus than previously predicted.
Oil, gold
and silver trade down on the day
Oil fell
during the New York session after the latest inventories indicated that oil and
gasoline consumption has faded. The commodity gave up its position above R1 and
the $53 per barrel level/handle to trade down -0.60% at $52.89.
Gold and
silver continued its recent sell-off. After reaching an early January high of
$1,960 per ounce XAU/USD traded at $1,845. Close to S1 and down -0.63% on the
day and -2.63% YTD. Silver traded -1.57% down on the day.
After the
turmoil unleashed in Washington last week by Trump supporters inciting a riot,
market participants appear to be relieved that business is normalising on
Capitol Hill. Despite that normality including voting to impeach Trump an
historic second time, an ignominious end to his tenure.
Investors
begin to prepare for the Biden administration
Biden is now
seven days from the ceremonial inauguration, and predictions suggest further
fiscal stimulus will become available quickly, an exercise that could
immediately stimulate both the US equity markets and the grass roots real
economy.
The SPX 500
traded 0.37% up, DJIA was -0.10% down, and the NASDAQ traded 0.82% climbing
back over the critical handle of 13,000 to reach an intraday high of 13,016.
Still short of the record high of approximately 13,140 printed earlier in
January.
The dollar
index DXY was up 0.28% on the day and trading back above the 90.00 psyche
handle. The USD made gains versus all its main peers, including both antipodean
currencies NZD and AUD. At 9:00 pm UK time USD/CHF traded at 0.15% up, and
USD/JPY traded up 0.10% on the day and up 0.60% YTD.
GBP/USD
retreated from its recent two-year high, trading in a tight range close to the
daily pivot-point and down -0.22% at 1.3635. EUR/USD traded -0.43% down, close
to S1 at 1.2155, giving up the gains recorded on Tuesday, and -0.49% down
year-to-date.
Economic
calendar events to monitor on Thursday, January 13
Once markets
open in London on Thursday morning, we’ll have the latest November machinery
orders from Japan. Together with the balance of trade figure, this will
indicate how Japan’s economy is coping with the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.
The expectation
is that orders will illustrate a fall from 2.8% to -16.0% annually, with the
month-on-month figure coming in at -7.0%. The impact on yen could continue into
the London session and throughout the trading day.
China’s
export and import data gets published during the Asian session, and once the London
session opens, we’ll know how the data has affected Asian markets overnight.
The virus
has had little impact on China’s economy, the globe’s second-largest economy
showed growth of close to 6% during 2020. Perhaps their management of the
crisis is a lesson to the USA and UK currently grappling with renewed
outbreaks, mass unemployment and economies set for double-dip recessions.
The euro
will be under the microscope during the London-European FX trading session when
Germany reveals the latest GDP figure. Reuters forecast a figure of -5.4% for
2020, the first time Germany’s economy has recorded an annual recession since
the Great Recession. The ECB will publish the latest policy meetings to define
their short to medium-term monetary policy.
From the US
we have a raft of economic data on Thursday. The latest weekly unemployment
figures get published, worth keeping an eye on for any evidence that seasonal
layoffs are mounting up. The latest import and export prices, both monthly and
annually get published during the New York session, these will deliver a leading
indicator of the country’s economic trajectory.
As the NY session begins to wind down, Federal
Reserve officials including the chair Jerome Powell will deliver speeches.
These could provide forward guidance regarding how the Fed will work with the
incoming Biden administration.
