Financial Markets Turn Their Attention to Jobs Data

Financial markets reversed their initial reaction after the latest FOMC Statement and press conference. In the two days that followed the June Fed meeting, the US dollar gained ground significantly against its peers in the developed world.

As such, the EURUSD fell from above 1.22 to 1.1850, the AUDUSD dropped a couple of hundred of pips, while the GBPUSD was strongly rejected at the 1.42. Also, stocks dropped in the United States and triggered a sharp decline in other equity markets too.

But it all lasted only two days. The week that just ended has seen the market participants changing their minds. Stocks reversed sharply, the US dollar weakness resumed, and overall risk-on outperformed.

What changed in the meantime? The answer comes from the Fed. Last Tuesday, Fed’s Chair Jerome Powell testified in front of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, and he downplayed the hawkish statement. Moreover, Fed members held speeches the entire week, reassuring markets that the accommodative measures will remain in place for quite some time despite the hawkish dot plot.

Furthermore, the Fed still sees inflation as transitory. Food and energy prices are expected to come down past 2021, even though right now inflation exceeds the Fed’s target.

Focus Turns to Job Creation

Now that the inflation has reached the Fed’s target, the only chance the US dollar bulls have is for the job market to show significant improvements. While the strong economic growth and improvements in the labor market should bode well for the currency and the stock market indices, further developments in the labor market will bring the Fed closer to its job creation mandate.

Therefore, the Fed’s hawkish message will have greater credibility if the US economy is able to create more jobs. We will find out as soon as next week the current state of the labor market as the Non-Farm Payrolls report for the month of May is due.

BTC and XRP – Upward move likely ended

BTC/USD

The price of Bitcoin has been on the rise since the 20th of July when it fell down to $29.316 at its lowest point. From there we have seen an increase of 38.7% as it came up to $40,679 at its highest point yesterday. Today the price fell down to $36,500 area and is now moving to the upside again, but the downfall of 10% might be indicative of the completion of the prior upward movement.

You can see that the price almost reached its most significant resistance zone at around $41,000 but failed to make interaction. The upward move from the 20th of July was impulsive in sections but the wave structure doesn’t imply a five-wave pattern. Instead, we could be looking at an ABC correction to the upside before the next downward move. The upward movement looks completed either way so now at least a retracement would be expected if not a start of a new downtrend.

Bitcoin May Reach ATH

On July 27, Reuters released a rebuttal from an Amazon spokesman regarding the company’s plans to implement Bitcoin.

“Notwithstanding our interest in the space, the speculation that has ensued around our specific plans for cryptocurrencies is not true,” the source said.

On the backdrop of this new turn, the Bitcoin rate fell, but what is important, it didn’t fall lower than the July 26 level, when London’s City AM newspaper cited an unnamed insider saying Amazon had intentions to accept Bitcoin payments until the end of the year.

The fact that the official clarification did not bring the price back to the starting point suggests a bullish market sentiment.

Mike McGlone, Bloomberg’s Intelligence senior commodity strategist, is of the opinion that BTC quotes are more likely to return to the $60,000 mark than fall to $20,000.

The price of Bitcoin fluctuates around the psychological level of $40k. The level of $36k — the base of the July 26 large-volume candlestick — is important. As long as the bulls keep the price above this level, the situation looks encouraging.

LTC and EOS – Corrective movement seen

LTC/USD

The price of Litecoin has been on the rise from the 20th of July when it fell to $104 at its lowest point. From there we have seen an increase of 35.9% measured to its highest point today at $141.83. This last rise was made after a sharp impulsive decline in a slowly moving manner and even though it is still moving to the downside it barely made it past Monday’s high.

These two signs – slowly moving price after a sharp decline and failure to make a significantly higher high are considered signs of weakness which is why soon a move to the downside would be expected. From the 20th of July have likely seen the completion of the five-wave impulse to Monday’s high. If this is true, then from Monday we have seen the start of the descending move with the rise from Tuesday being its 2nd sub-wave.

This can be a minor three-wave flat correction with the price continuing its upward trajectory after as it made a slightly higher high compared to Monday’s one.  Another possibility could be that this descending move is going to be larger but there aren’t still signs on how it can play out.

Considering the fact that this move is counted as corrective this structure can be labeled as the A wave from the higher degree ABC count.

The US Economic Growth Exceeds Expectations

The new trading month started with the market participants focusing on Friday’s NFP report. Because the Federal Reserve of the United States has a dual mandate, one that focuses on both price stability and job creation, the way the labor market performs is viewed as decisive for the future path of monetary policy.

While inflation has reached the Fed’s target, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the labor market. Fed’s definition of full employment leaves room for more strength before the rates could be lifted.

In the middle of last week, the Fed signaled that it is in no rush to lift the rates. Most likely, it remains intentionally behind the curve, wanting to see more strength in the labor market before acting.

But inflation and economic growth may trigger action from the Fed sooner than the market expects. We’ve seen the Gross Domestic Product released last week coming out much stronger than the expectations.

US GDP Grows Much Faster Than Forecasters Expected

The chart above shows a projection for the US GDP made by various institutions in the last quarter of 2020. All of them, including the FOMC, IMF, and OECD, have underestimated the growth of the US economy.

As it turned out, the actual growth path out of the economic recession is much steeper, with positive spillover effects for the main US trade partners. Because the United States is the largest economy in the world, a stronger economic recovery there is enough to add one percentage point or more to global growth.

Before the passage of the America Rescue plan, most forecasters expected that the economy would grow by 3/4%-4.2% in the four quarters of 2021. But the data released last week shows that the economy grows at an annualized rate of 6.4%, much higher than expected.

The solid growth should support the equity markets and keep the US dollar offered. Because most central banks in the developed world have adopted similar monetary policies, which are still loose, the market is dominated by risk-on/risk-off gyrations. Until we see central banks lifting rates, the chances are that the markets will remain correlated.

Google Green-lights Crypto Ads

On August 3, Google rolled out its new policy, allowing advertisers to officially offer their cryptocurrency and wallet exchange services online.

The latest set of rules is quite tough. To weed out shadow advertising and crypto fraud, Google requires advertisers to register with the Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN). ICOs, banned from advertising back in 2018, are still a no-go.

Thanks to this step, the corporation is expected to boost its revenue in the developing sector of digital currencies.

Meanwhile, Ethereum masterminds have begun a countdown to the Thursday launch of the London update on their website. The update will affect how the network handles transaction fees.

Ahead of the update, ETHUSD is showing more positive dynamics compared to BTCUSD.

On July 31, the BTCUSD market had very small trading volumes (see fig. 1) around the 42k level, and the next day, the price showed bearish dynamics with growing volumes. This indicates a weak demand for the coin at a price of 42k and the dominance of supply. The current decline can be stopped by the level of 36k (or something close to it), where, on July 26, the bitcoin price was growing aggressively under pressure from buyers.

Solid Jobs Report Sends the US Dollar Higher

The US dollar reversed the recent losses and closed the last week higher. Responsible for the move was the July NFP report.

The market expected a positive report, but the outcome exceeded expectations. The US economy added over 940k new jobs in July. Moreover, the data for the previous month was revised higher by over 100k jobs.

All the elements in the report pointed to a strong recovery of the US economy. Besides the better headline number, the Unemployment Rate declined to 5.4% – another positive development.

Sure enough, the US economy still needs to recover about 5 million jobs lost during the pandemic. But solid reports like the one from last Friday bring the Fed closer to fulfill its employment mandate, and thus the tightening of the financial conditions may be just around the corner.

The Fed, as a central bank, has a dual mandate. It aims at price stability and maximum employment.

The price stability mandate is monitored by the changes in inflation. Inflation is already above Fed’s target, even though it is unclear how long is the period the Fed looks at averaging inflation to 2%.

What remains is improvements in the labor market – and the July NFP report shows such improvements. The bias is now that the Fed will announce the tapering of its asset purchases sooner than expected, and so the US dollar ticked higher on the news.

The Technical Picture Also Favors a Stronger Dollar

From a technical analysis perspective, the US dollar may be at the end of a cycle. The Dollar index formed a double top at the 100 level, but it recently found both horizontal and dynamic support in the 90 area.

A quick look at the rising trend reveals the fact that the Dollar index has kept the series of higher lows intact, just like it is supposed to do in a rising trend. Hence, as long as the index holds above 89, the bias remains bullish.

Moving forward, traders will look for clues about what the Fed will do next. Is the July NFP report strong enough to trigger earlier tapering? If yes, the US dollar’s rally should continue unabated.
