EURUSD Analysis

EURUSD is moving in the Descending Triangle and the market has reached the lower high area of the pattern.

Eurozone The PMI for Germany came in last week at a very low 40.6 for the month of June, and the PMI for France also performed better than expected. Because demand has slowed, factories in Europe have had to reduce production more frequently, resulting in very low overall PMI numbers over the past three years. ECB Businesses and households that spend money on materials are burdened by rising interest rates.

The Euro depreciated against the US dollar at the beginning of the week, retracing some of its Friday strong rebound, as the economies of the Eurozone continued to post disappointing economic data. Numerous Purchasing Managers Index numbers, from Europe and elsewhere, were released on Monday. These closely monitored indicators provide an accurate forecast of the state of the economy.The most worrisome of Europe’s recent developments may be Germany’s manufacturing release. Since July of last year, the headline figure has been below the crucial 50 level separating expansion from contraction, and the most recent release for June was regrettably no exception. The PMI stumbled to 40.6, its lowest reading in three years, as businesses reported further reductions in production as demand remained weak. The PMI for France came in slightly better than expected, but it was still very much in contraction mode.

As the European Central Bank works to control inflation, the interest rates facing the Eurozone will continue to rise. Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, actually came the closest to guaranteeing that borrowing costs would increase once more in July last month of any central banker ever. Therefore, more bad news is probably in store for European manufacturers, as tighter monetary policy will undoubtedly reduce demand even further, as that is its main objective. The manufacturing sector in China is still growing, but at a noticeably slower pace now. With the Institute for Supply Management’s PMI due later in the session, attention will now shift to the US. It is also anticipated to continue contracting. However, it is important to keep in mind that Monday’s trading hours in the United States will be cut short in anticipation of the Independence Day holiday on Tuesday. Additionally, the market experienced lighter trading conditions than usual.

XAUUSD Gold Price is moving in an Ascending channel and the market has rebounded from the higher low area of the channel.

Following the release of US ISM Manufacturing PMI data yesterday that was below expectations, gold prices have increased. This week, gold prices are more erratic because of the FOMC meeting minutes and the US NFP on Friday.

Due to a stronger US dollar, gold prices are slightly lower as the week begins. As last week’s core PCE deflator just barely missed expectations, gold remains at the mercy of US factors. Since then, the money market has been pricing in a 25 basis point increase by the Fed as having an 85% chance of happening. Later in the year, there is still a chance for another hike, but the markets are still unsure.

S&P500 futures have experienced nominal losses in Europe as a result of investors becoming more cautious due to the American holiday. Due to Independence Day, US markets will be closed. The US economy is currently going through a difficult period, which has put pressure on the USD Index. Due to difficult loan conditions, US factory activity has drastically decreased as businesses struggle to obtain credit from local banks. According to the US Institute of Supply Management (ISM), the Manufacturing PMI has continued to decline for an additional eight months. A value less than 50.0 is regarded as a general decline in economic activity. The economic data came in at 46.0, much less than the predicted 47.2 and the previous release of 46.9.

Kanda told reporters, according to Reuters, We are exchanging views with and communicating with authorities in other countries, including our ally the United States, not only on currencies, financial markets, but various other issues.” As the USDJPY hovers around the multi-month high of around 145.00, it is important to note that Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno and Finance Minister (FinMin) Shunichi Suzuki have also recently raised concerns about the Asian major’s market intervention. In addition to the Japan intervention, the recent softening of US data and rising US Treasury bond yields all contribute to the risk-barometer pair’s decline. However, the USDJPY pair is being supported by the Bank of Japan’s  defence of easy-money policy as well as recently softer Japan statistics. However, the Yen pair ended Monday’s North American trading session at about 144.65 and started the week with a daily gain of 0.26%.

The UK has thus far far exceeded expectations regarding economic growth in a difficult environment, and the reading of 46.5 is the lowest of 2023. One encouraging aspect of the data may be the decline in input prices and output charges, which have both decreased and should be encouraging for the future of the UK’s inflation situation. The Bank of England (BoE) has continued to be very optimistic about an easing of inflationary pressures in the second half of 2023, and this may be the first indication of an impending easing of price pressures.

However, WTI crude oil shows modest gains near $70.30 as it supports the most recent Saudi Arabian and Russian announcements suggesting additional supply cuts. The expectation that US and Chinese oil demand will rise as both of these economies work to resolve recent differences may strengthen the energy benchmark.
