RBFX Support Posted June 4 Author Report Share Posted June 4 EUR has surged. Overview for 04.06.2024 The primary currency pair continues to climb higher on Tuesday. The current EURUSD exchange rate stands at 1.0908. The US dollar has retreated to its lowest value since 21 March as signs of persisting weakening in the US economy strengthen arguments for an imminent interest rate cut by the US Federal Reserve. The US ISM manufacturing PMI in May decreased to 48.7 points from the previous 49.2, falling short of expectations. According to the LSEG monitor, the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September is currently estimated at 59.1% compared to 55.0% on Friday. This anticipation is further heightened by growing expectations, which were no more than 50.0% early last week. The employment market data for May, particularly the wage parameters, which are significant in the context of inflation, will be crucial this week. The Federal Reserve’s next meeting will conclude on 12 June, and the latest consumer price data will be released that day. Although no risk is expected at this meeting, the Federal Reserve must update its economic forecasts.

RBFX Support Posted June 5 Author Report Share Posted June 5 EURUSD corrected itself. Overview for 05.06.2024 The major currency pair stabilised on Wednesday after surging earlier. The current EURUSD exchange rate stands at 1.0877. The market is gathering strength ahead of Friday’s US employment market report. Investors are currently interpreting isolated signals, with the previous day’s surprising data from the April job openings report still fresh in their minds. The report revealed a significant drop, reaching its lowest level in three years. Specifically, JOLTS statistics showed that job vacancies decreased by 296 thousand, totalling 8.059 million, the lowest value since February 2021. Investors usually do not pay much attention to such a release, but it has gained attention because the market is concerned about the tone of Friday’s data on the labour market. Non-farm payrolls (NFP) are expected to have risen by 185 thousand in May compared to April’s 175 thousand. A weak employment report is good news for the US Federal Reserve, providing more arguments for a rate cut.

RBFX Support Posted June 6 Author Report Share Posted June 6 CAD has strengthened. Overview for 06.06.2024 The Canadian dollar, paired with the US dollar, has strengthened. The current USDCAD exchange rate stands at 1.3678. In the medium term, the pair remains within a wide sideways channel. Yesterday, the Bank of Canada reduced the interest rate for the first time in four years to 4.75% per annum from the previous 5.00%. The regulator cited the progress achieved in its battle against inflation as an argument for this decision. According to the Bank of Canada’s press release, the core Consumer Price Index is declining, providing a reason to abandon restrictive monetary policy. At least four inflation components improved significantly, including core inflation, the core price index with its median and average values, and the 3-month moving average. Some CPI components rose by over 3%, close to a historical average value. Fundamental analysis for other instruments can be found in the section "Forex Forecasts and Analysis" on our website.

RBFX Support Posted June 7 Author Report Share Posted June 7 JPY takes a pause. Overview for 07.06.2024 The Japanese yen is stable against the US dollar on Friday. The current USDJPY exchange rate is 155.57. Investors refrain from making significant decisions ahead of next week's BoJ meeting. The regulator is expected to maintain interest rates unchanged. The market is closely monitoring monthly bond purchases. A potential reduction in figures could signal a gradual tightening of monetary policy. Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda confirmed this week that the central bank will gradually reduce its extensive balance sheet. The timing of such an undertaking remains uncertain. In March 2024, the Bank of Japan phased out its negative interest rate policy, which had been in place for eight years. At the same time, it scrapped its yield curve control program as Japan set its sights on normalising monetary policy.

RBFX Support Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 EUR fell to a four-week low. Overview for 10.06.2024 The primary currency pair continues to plummet on Monday. The current EURUSD exchange rate stands at 1.0795. The euro faced two substantial pressure factors. Firstly, there were political developments in France, where the pro-presidential forces lost the European Parliament elections to the far-right. French President Emmanuel Macron called snap elections after his party’s defeat to Marine Le Pen’s far-right, which crushed it by nearly half. Secondly, investors have adjusted their expectations about the Federal Reserve interest rate trajectory following Friday’s US employment market statistics. In anticipation of the Federal Reserve meeting this week, the impact of such a driver is considerably strong. Non-farm payrolls expanded by 272 thousand last month from the previous 165 thousand, while the unemployment rate increased to 4.0% from 3.9% in April. Average hourly earnings rose by 0.4% m/m in May, twice as high as the April reading. The EURUSD pair will experience very high volatility this week.

RBFX Support Posted June 11 Author Report Share Posted June 11 GBP attempts to rise. Overview for 11.06.2024 The British pound sterling is trying to rise against the US dollar. The current GBPUSD exchange rate stands at 1.2736. The pound has stabilised after hitting a new local low last week. The UK employment market data, industrial production, construction activity, and trade balance figures are due for release. The data are expected to confirm an economic slowdown in April. The unemployment rate will likely remain at 4.30%, and average earnings are anticipated to increase by 5.70%. At its next meeting on 20 June, the Bank of England will likely keep the interest rate unchanged at 5.25% per annum, its peak since 2008. UK inflation is clearly reducing, but not fast enough. Additionally, there is some uncertainty about the country’s elections in early July, which may exert pressure on the pound.

RBFX Support Posted June 12 Author Report Share Posted June 12 EURUSD declines. Overview for 12.06.2024 The primary currency pair is dropping lower on Wednesday. The current EURUSD exchange rate stands at 1.0740. Political instability in France is significantly impacting the euro. President Emmanuel Macron’s position has become shaky following the far-right party’s victory in the European Parliament elections. Rumours are circulating that Macron might also lose the forthcoming elections, which would jeopardise France’s financial stability. This factor is now adding to the euro’s imbalance. The US Federal Reserve meeting is underway. The decision on the interest rate will be announced on Wednesday evening, and it is expected to remain unchanged at 5.25% per annum. The market is keen for fresh and relevant assessments of the economy and outlook. The most crucial information the financial world awaits is the timing of the first easing of monetary conditions, with general forecasts currently referring to November.

RBFX Support Posted June 13 Author Report Share Posted June 13 EURUSD experienced significant volatility. Overview for 13.06.2024 The primary currency pair is looking for support after a turbulent rise on Thursday. The current EURUSD exchange rate stands at 1.0805. Yesterday, the EURUSD pair faced a massive flow of data from both the US Federal Reserve and statistical reports. The Fed’s June meeting ended neutrally, with the interest rate remaining at 5.25% per annum, which was in line with expectations. However, the Federal Reserve’s comments, hinting at a rate cut this year closer to December, and the perceived aggressiveness of the Fed’s rhetoric regarding steps in 2025, have left the market in a state of anticipation for an active interest rate reduction. The US Consumer Price Index dropped in May, exceeding forecasts. Inflation stood at 3.3% year-on-year, remaining flat on a month-to-month basis. Core inflation decreased to 3.4% year-on-year from the previous 3.6%. This development indicates the easing of price pressure, a positive signal for the economy and the Federal Reserve. The market has become overly sensitive to statistical data releases. The US Federal Reserve created this foundation, having previously stated that it planned to gather as much data as possible to identify patterns.

RBFX Support Posted June 14 Author Report Share Posted June 14 JPY is under pressure. Overview for 14.06.2024 The Japanese yen is declining against the US dollar on Friday. The current USDJPY exchange rate stands at 157.85. The Bank of Japan concluded its meeting, opting to maintain its current monetary policy structure, keeping the interest rate at zero. In its comments, the BoJ stated that it would maintain the parameters for purchasing Japanese government bonds at the levels agreed in March. This disappointed investors who were expecting signals towards a reduction in bond purchases. Previously, the Governor of the Bank of Japan did not rule out a gradual reduction of its enormous balance sheet in the form of government bonds but did not specify any timelines. In March 2024, the Bank of Japan tightened monetary policy for the first time in seven years, moving the interest rate from negative territory to zero.
