USD Forecast: strong US data underscores economy's resilience

This image is no longer relevant

Today marks the end of the last full trading week of October. The dollar continues to dominate in the market, while major global stock indices, including US ones, keep losing value. In the equity market, the dollar as a safe-haven asset is also in demand amid global geopolitical tensions.

After Tuesday's release of the PMI indices, Thursday's macroeconomic figures once again confirmed the strength of the US economy. Data showed that gross domestic product in the United States grew by 4.9% in the third quarter, marking the highest pace since the end of 2021. The reading followed the previous quarterly rise of 2.1% and surpassed a forecast of 4.2%. The GDP price index, measuring the changes in prices for all of the goods and services produced in an economy, rose to 3.5% in the third quarter, up from a 1.7% increase in the second quarter and above a consensus estimate of 2.5%. This indirectly indicated that inflation accelerated.

Statistics suggest that despite high interest rates, the US economy is coping well, and inflation remains elevated. This has sparked talks that the Federal Reserve might consider cutting interest rates instead of raising them further.

Economists believe that the resilience of the American economy and its relatively high growth rate paves the way for increased investor interest in US assets and government bonds. This in turn is likely to lead to lower yields and a weaker dollar.

Today, market participants will be closely watching the release of the US personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price indices. The core figure is expected to climb to 0.3% month on month, up from the 0.1% rate recorded in August. On an annual basis, the PCE price index is forecast to rise by 3.7% in September, slightly down from a gain of 3.9% recorded in August. If data exceeds forecasts, the US dollar will most likely advance. Besides, traders are awaiting the University of Michigan's final consumer confidence index. The figure is anticipated to remain at 63.0. Thus, its release will hardly trigger a significant investor response.

From a technical point of view, the US dollar index (#USDX) is trading upwards. In the medium term, the index is above the key level of 104.10 (EMA200 on the daily chart). In the long term, it is above the crucial support levels of 101.40 (EMA144 on the weekly chart), 100.30 (EMA200 on the weekly chart), and 100.00.

Thus, long positions remain a priority. Local resistance levels at 107.00, 107.32, 107.80, and 108.00 can be seen as immediate growth targets.

Support Levels: 106.32, 106.15, 106.00, 105.80, 105.40, 105.00, 104.10, 103.00, 102.00, 101.40, 101.00, 100.30, 100.00 Resistance Levels: 106.75, 107.00, 107.32, 107.80, 108.00, 109.00, 109.25.

英鎊:每週前瞻

最近對於這兩種金融工具的評論變得可以預測,甚至有些乏味。能夠影響市場情緒和工具走勢的所有因素皆可歸結於美國總統唐納德·特朗普。

歐元/美元:分析與預測

今天,歐元/美元貨幣對開始吸引買家,打破了連續三天的跌勢,並試圖在1.1300這一重要心理關口上方建立盤中動能。這表明在重要的歐元區和美國經濟數據發布前,買家興趣重新回升,進行了一些重新定位。

美國就業市場數據可能是重大失望

美國的就業增長在4月可能放緩,不過失業率預計將保持不變,顯示勞動力需求健康但屬於溫和增長。然而,特朗普政府的新貿易政策可能對勞動力市場造成顯著損害。

歐洲央行別無選擇

隨著交易者越來越多地押注於歐洲央行即將作出的貨幣政策決策,歐洲貨幣持續對美元失去優勢。 根據數據,預計歐洲央行在九月降息的機率顯著上升。

中國終於作出回應

在中國當局表示正在評估與美國展開貿易談判的可能性後,歐元、英鎊和其他風險資產都出現了反彈,這是自上個月唐納德·特朗普提高關稅以來,雙方首次有了真正的進展跡象。 週五,中國商務部發布聲明,提到美國官員多次表示願意就關稅問題與北京進行談判,並敦促華盛頓展現誠意。

進程已經開始。中國已做好貿易談判的準備(黃金和歐元/美元價格有可能再度下跌)

本週最後一個交易日呈現積極走勢。中國準備展開談判的消息激勵了投資者購買風險資產並削弱了美元。

市場進入動盪局勢

市場對於關稅不會成為現實,或者公司能夠將關稅轉嫁給顧客的信心十足。標普500指數的八日連漲——自八月份以來的最長漲勢——強烈暗示了這一點。
