The pound enters Monday with support from the latest UK economic data. June GDP grew more strongly than expected, while previously released business activity indicators pointed to an improvement in the services sector. This reduces concerns about a sharp slowdown in the UK economy and allows the market to maintain a more resilient assessment of the British currency’s outlook. At the same time, the US dollar lost some support after an unexpected decline in US retail sales and more moderate inflation readings. The probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September has fallen noticeably, while UK short-term interest rates remain elevated. For GBPUSD, this combination reduces pressure from the interest rate differential and supports demand for the pound. The main constraint is the approach of important UK inflation and labor market data, which could change expectations for Bank of England policy. The upside potential therefore does not appear one-sided. Nevertheless, there is currently no strong local factor weighing on the pound, while the softer US dollar impulse coincides with resilience in the UK economy. If these conditions persist, the bias remains toward a moderate rise in GBPUSD. Trading idea: BUY 1.3540, SL 1.3505, TP 1.3620

AI Drives #NQ100 Higher Again: NVIDIA and Micron Lead the Sector The U.S. technology sector received fresh support from artificial intelligence-related companies. On August 12, the Nasdaq gained around 0.5%, although the index remains approximately 0.4% below last Friday’s closing level since the beginning of the current week. At the same time, the Nasdaq rose 5.2% last week, highlighting continued strong interest in the technology sector. NVIDIA and Micron were at the center of attention. NVIDIA (#NVDIA) shares rose by around 3%, while Micron (#Micron) gained nearly 5%. Investors are increasing their positions in chipmakers again amid sustained demand for data-center equipment and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Key Drivers of Technology Sector Growth: AI demand remains strong. Major technology companies continue to increase spending on data centers and computing capacity. This supports expectations for further growth in NVIDIA processor sales and demand for Micron server memory. Investors are returning to semiconductor stocks. After the recent correction, chipmakers are once again attracting buyers. The market is becoming more selective, but companies directly benefiting from the expansion of AI infrastructure remain among investors’ favorites. Lower pressure from the Fed. Softer U.S. inflation data reduced the likelihood of a rate hike in September. Lower rate expectations traditionally support high-valued technology stocks and increase demand for #NQ100. According to FreshForex analysts, the base-case scenario for #NQ100 remains further growth. Demand for AI infrastructure remains strong, while the lower probability of another Fed rate hike provides additional support for the technology sector. If NVIDIA and Micron continue to strengthen, the index could maintain its upward momentum and test new local highs.

Date: 14th August 2026. PPI Boosts Market Sentiment, Pushing Stocks Higher. The latest inflation data from Wednesday saw the possibility of an interest rate hike fall slightly. However, an even more positive development for the stock market is the latest producer price index. The first reaction to the release of the Producer Price Index was minimal, but volatility soon kicked in as the US session opened. The Producer Price Index did not rise at all in July, whereas analysts were expecting a moderate rise of 0.2%. As a result, producer inflation fell from 5.5% to 4.7%, significantly lower than market expectations. The PPI YoY continues to read higher than the Federal Reserve’s target but has now seen three consecutive months of declines. In addition to this, the Core Producer Price Index rose 0.2%, lower than the 0.3% consensus. The lower producer inflation, along with the decline in oil prices is supportive of the global stock market. Crude oil prices have fallen more than 2% over the past 24 hours and any further decline could indicate a prolonged pause by the Federal Reserve. The possibility of an interest rate hike in September continues to fall, from 40% on Wednesday to 32% this morning. As a result, sentiment towards the stock market could rise further. However, analysts continue to advise that up-and-down volatility in the medium to longer term is likely to continue due to the AI trend, high earnings, and fear over AI-spending. Cisco and Applied Materials Earnings Report Cisco, which made its quarterly earnings report public on Wednesday, is the 15th most influential stock in the NASDAQ. Applied Materials Inc. is the 16th most influential and together they make up 2.10% of the NASDAQ. Cisco’s latest earnings report was strong, with fourth-quarter revenue rising 18% year-on- year to $17.3 billion, beating the high end of its guidance, while non-GAAP EPS increased 23% to $1.22. Cisco also reported a 35% increase in total product orders, with networking orders up 40%. Looking ahead, the company expects $72.2–$73.4 billion in revenue, suggesting continued growth. However, due to AI spending and the slightly lower gross margin are triggering a sell-off for the time being. Applied Material stock has fallen 5% after the company announced its quarterly report, weakening the bullish momentum of the NASDAQ. Applied Material Inc. is experiencing a similar reaction to most stocks within this earnings season. The company saw both earnings and revenue beat expectations, but the stock declines suggest that the results were simply not high enough. PPI Report Boost The NASDAQ The NASDAQ rose more than 1.30% in response to the Producer Price Index reading considerably lower than expectations. The inflation rate decline did little to change analysts’ views on upcoming interest rate decisions. However, Thursday’s PPI report was seen as particularly positive for the stock market. The price of the NASDAQ is now trading above key moving averages on most timeframes and is yet to become overbought. In addition to this, the VIX continues to trade lower, indicating strong investor sentiment for now. However, the price this morning is trading slightly below the VWAP. Therefore, buy signals will strengthen once bullish momentum is regained. Lastly, 76% of the NASDAQ’s most influential companies rose on Thursday, providing a further bullish indication from component analysis. HFM - NASDAQ 30-Minute Chart Key Takeaway Points: Inflation is cooling: July PPI was flat, lowering September Fed hike odds from 40% to 32%, which is bullish for stocks. Earnings are strong, but expectations are higher: Cisco and Applied Materials beat estimates, yet both sold off as investors demanded more. NASDAQ remains bullish: It jumped 1.3%+, trades above key moving averages, and remains below overbought levels. Momentum needs confirmation: The VIX is falling, but NASDAQ is slightly below VWAP, so short-term volatility remains likely. Always trade with strict risk management.

Market Fundamental Analysis for August 14, 2026 EURUSD Event to watch today: 15:30 EET. USD – Consumer Price Index EURUSD: Exclusively for our readers — get $10 to start trading with no deposit required!

The euro is supported by firmer expectations regarding ECB policy. A recent survey of economists shows that most expect another rate hike in September, as eurozone inflation remains above target and the economy grew more strongly than expected in the second quarter. This combination limits the case for a rapid shift toward a softer policy stance and supports the European currency. At the same time, the US dollar has lost momentum following July producer price data, which showed no monthly increase despite market expectations for a rise. Combined with moderate consumer inflation, this reduced the probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September to around 35%. Lower rate expectations reduce the dollar’s interest rate advantage and create conditions for a recovery in EURUSD. The main risk to this scenario comes from today’s US retail sales data. A strong reading could revive demand for the dollar and partly change market expectations for Federal Reserve policy. Until the release, however, the euro retains an advantage due to the combination of firmer ECB expectations and reduced expectations for a US rate hike. If this backdrop persists, the base-case scenario supports further gains in EURUSD. Trading idea: BUY 1.1535, SL 1.1510, TP 1.1590

Date: 13th August 2026. US Inflation Falls to 3.4% as Dollar Strengthens and Gold Struggles. US inflation fell from 3.5% to 3.4% in line with analysts’ expectations. The decline at first had a positive impact on Gold and the stock market, but they could not maintain momentum. Even though the decline remains a positive factor for the economy, 3.4% is still seen as a considerably high inflation rate and a weak decline. The stock market and metals experienced volatile trading as buyers and sellers competed for control. However, the US Dollar is emerging as the clear winner as the currency rises to a two-week high. With inflation falling by only 0.1% and oil prices remaining above $83 per barrel, demand for the Dollar remains strong. Currently, the Japanese Yen is the best-performing currency due to a change in stance from the Japanese administration. However, the US Dollar is firmly the second-best-performing currency of the day, and the US Dollar Index is only 0.07% away from reaching 100.00. Gold Struggles for Momentum Despite Lower September Rate-Hike Expectations Due to the inflation rate decline and weak employment data, the possibility of a September rate hike has fallen to 34%. This is considerably lower than in previous weeks. However, the possibility of a rate hike later in the year has not faded. This, along with geopolitical tensions, is resulting in the US Dollar increasing in value and applying further pressure on metals. According to President Trump, the US is changing its tactics to bring Iran to the negotiation table. The US will now increase economic pressure on Iran rather than take military action. The renewed focus on economic measures highlights the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Iran’s position and is also supporting the Dollar. This could continue to influence oil prices, shipping activity, and broader market sentiment. Gold is trading downwards on Thursday after rising to a new two-month high. The price has fallen to form a bearish breakout but has not yet fully formed a trend formation. On smaller timeframes, the price is trading below key moving averages, which indicates downward price movement. However, on larger timeframes, the price remains at a neutral level. The US Dollar Index is trading close to the psychological price of 100.00. If the Dollar rises above this level, Gold may struggle to regain bullish momentum. The key support level for Gold can be seen at $4,359.55. Traders will monitor whether the price rebounds off this level. If the price breaks below this level, bearish signals may potentially strengthen. HFM - Gold 20-Minutes USDJPY - Japan’s Government Supports Faster Rate Hikes Due to Currency Weakness The best-performing currency of the day is the Japanese Yen, as investors price in the change in tone from the Japanese government. In terms of the USDJPY price pattern, the price is forming an ascending triangle pattern, indicating that it is not able to maintain bearish momentum. However, the pattern does not indicate a clear rise either. Japan’s government is reportedly supportive of an earlier Bank of Japan rate hike, potentially as soon as September or October, as policymakers seek to address persistent inflation and weakness in the Japanese Yen. The shift in government support adds pressure on the BOJ to accelerate monetary policy normalisation, particularly as recent data showed Japanese wholesale inflation remaining elevated, with producer prices rising 7.2% year-on-year in July. For financial markets, an earlier rate hike could provide meaningful support to the Yen and increase pressure on USDJPY, particularly given the recent focus on currency intervention. Investors are now likely to pay close attention to upcoming BOJ communication. Analysts continue to advise that if the Bank of Japan is looking to hike only once in 2026, this may not be enough to support the Yen. According to analysts, the BOJ must hike on two occasions to avoid being a victim of the carry trade. For this reason, as mentioned above, the upcoming BOJ communication will be vital for the Yen. HFM - USDJPY 20-Minute Chart Key Takeaways: US inflation fell to 3.4% as expected. However, the modest decline has done little to ease concerns over persistently high inflation. The US Dollar is emerging as the clear winner due to geopolitical tensions. The currency is reaching a two-week high as strong demand continues to pressure Gold and other metals. Gold is struggling to maintain momentum, with $4,359.55 acting as a key support level. The Dollar Index is approaching the psychological 100.00 level, which may further pressure Gold. The Japanese Yen is strengthening on expectations of faster rate hikes due to a supportive tone from the Japanese government. Always trade with strict risk management.

Santosh, Your post on Eclipse. The nature of them is that, they are visible in some regions/countries while its not seen/observed in others. So in this case, should one consider or not if its not observed in a particular country? I hope/believe since its a celestial event, should be considered whether seen or not.

Hi Ali7qe, If you have any idea on how to apply cycles using natal data then little guidance on that will be really helpful. Thanks

entries alone are rarely the whole edge. Two traders can take basically the same setup and get completely different results just from sizing, exits and how consistently they follow the plan. A journal makes that pretty obvious after enough trades

USDJPY tests 159.40 and retains upside potential towards 160.90 The USDJPY pair is recovering after the currency intervention and testing the 159.40 resistance level. A breakout above this level could open the way towards 160.90. The rate currently stands at 159.40. USDJPY forecast: key takeaways The USDJPY pair is recovering after the currency intervention and testing the 159.40 resistance level The key macroeconomic event of the day will be the release of the US CPI USDJPY forecast for 12 August 2026: 160.90 Fundamental analysis Fundamental analysis of USDJPY for 12 August 2026 shows that pressure on the yen persists. Over the past two days, the pair has risen towards 159.30–159.45 despite the recent joint currency intervention by the US and Japan. This shows that fundamental demand for the dollar currently remains stronger than the effect of the intervention. At the same time, the domestic backdrop in Japan is gradually becoming more supportive for the yen. The summary of the Bank of Japan’s July meeting, published on 10 August, showed that several board members favour faster rate hikes due to inflation risks.

Market Fundamental Analysis for August 12, 2026 USDJPY Event to watch today: 15:30 EET. USD – Consumer Price Index USDJPY: Exclusively for our readers — get $10 to start trading with no deposit required! Register, complete verification, and enter the promo code INDOINVEST10 in your Client Area. This is a limited offer: the bonus is available to the first 100 participants only. The yen has weakened again after much of the impact from the recent coordinated actions by Japan and the United States in the foreign exchange market faded. At the same time, market participants have become more willing to price in the possibility of an earlier Bank of Japan rate hike, which has supported short-term Japanese government bond yields. This factor limits pressure on the yen but has not yet changed the broader backdrop. For USDJPY, the difference in interest rate expectations between the two countries remains important. US Treasury yields remain elevated, while the market is not ruling out a Federal Reserve rate hike in September ahead of the US inflation release. Until the Bank of Japan signals a faster tightening cycle, the yield advantage remains with the dollar and continues to support the pair. The main constraint on further gains is the risk of another response from the Japanese authorities following the recent large-scale support for the yen. A softer US Consumer Price Index could also quickly push yields lower and renew pressure on the dollar. The upside scenario for USDJPY therefore requires caution, but ahead of the data, the current combination of interest rate expectations and yen weakness still gives a moderate advantage to the BUY scenario. Trading idea: BUY 159.30, SL 159.00, TP 159.90
