FOREX SPOT WEEKLY TECHNICAL REPORT
(inter-bank prices below)
What next by the Federal Reserve after two interest rate hikes this year is the answer which traders will ask themselves? US economy is going through a golden period. Central banks are raising interest rates globally to curb ever rising inflation. US dollar is getting the benefit of global reduction in liquidity. Trump tax cut effects are still continuing. There is a working section in USA which believes that there could be more tax cuts announced before the US senate elections. These kinds of speculative news is supporting the greenback.
US dollar Index is hovering around 95.00. US dollar Index needs to trade over 95.80 for a fortnight to start another wave of rise. In case US dollar index does not break 95.80 for the rest of the US dollar, then a medium term top will be formed. US dollar Index should crash in the final quarter of the US dollar if it does not fall in August-September period. Europe’s political issues will be over this year as it near the worst. In the past many of us the analyst had written off euro but it had comeback with a vengeance.
Brexit woes will not be over soon. Lack of clarity is preventing traders and investors alike from going long. Narrowing down of interest rate differential will support cable sooner than later. One should be prepared for big five percent one way move in cable any time.
There is no big US economic data release this week or even in Europe and UK. It should be a technical trade. US-China trade spat news should will affect the global financial markets. There will be sudden one way moves.
India at a glance
If crude oil falls, then rupee will nosedive against the US dollar. FII flows will be positive. There can be some bond market inflows as well. Fundamentally, Indian economy will see some cyclical higher growth in the upcoming four months and thereafter a big drop in consumption. Once the festivals are over, there will be an economic slump.
I have never believed in service sector growth and service sector jobs growth as the key parameter of nation building. They are like the sale team of the company. The sales team gets fired first whenever a company faces slowdown. Similarly service sector jobs gets fired first whenever the economy slows. A pizza delivery boy or a courier delivery boy gets fired first when there is an economic slowdown. Core sector growth is still reeling under the influence on continued changes in Goods and service tax laws. The labor intensive small scale industry and tiny scale industry are nervous to expand as compliance cost of GST and the daily changes in GST has increased sharply.
Political parties are gearing for the key state elections in November. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are among them. These are all BJP ruled states. The political mudslinging has begun against the BJP by an extremely united opposition. Short term global investors will be fence sitters till November. Long term investors will continue to invest in India as the growth story is nowhere near saturation point.
