Maybe the main characteristic in the FX market as the week is about to begin, is the continuance of the weakness of the USD. It\u2019s characteristic that the greenback is at 15-year lows against the CHF, while it\u2019s also at 4-year lows against the EUR. In Trump\u2019s trade wars, it\u2019s notable that the US is reported to be nearing a trade deal with China, while Canada scrapped a digital services tax for trade negotiations with the US to restart, both issues tending to be positive for the USD. On a monetary level, the market\u2019s expectations for the Fed to cut rates in the July meeting run high with Fed Fund Futures implying a probability of 80% currently for such a scenario to materialise, which in turn tends to weigh on the USD. Last but not least we note the attacks of US President Trump on Fed Chairman Powell, in an effort to undermine him and make Powell resign before the end of his term. The issue tends to undermine the market\u2019s perception of the independence of the Fed and is weighing on the USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the FX Market EUR\/USD continued to rise breaking the 1.1690 (S1) resistance line, now turned to support. We maintain our bullish outlook for the pair as long as the upward trendline guiding the pair since the 13th of May remains intact. As a word of warning for the bullish outlook we note that the pair\u2019s price action id flirting with the upper Bollinger Band for the past four days, which could slow down the bulls. The RSI indicator has reached the reading of 70, implying a strong bullish sentiment on behalf of market participants for the pair, yet at the same time may also imply that the pair is at overbought levels and may be ripe for a correction lower. Should the bulls maintain control, we may see it aiming if not breaking the 1.1905 (R1) line, a level that has seen no price action since August 2021. Should the bears take over, we may see the pair dropping, breaking the 1.1690 (S1) line and continue to reach if not breach the 1.1450 (S2) level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for US equities we note a relative optimism on behalf of the market with S&P 500 reaching new record high levels, breaking on Friday the 6140 (S1) resistance line, now turned to support. As the index\u2019s price action has broken 6140 level, we switch our sideways motion bias in favour of a bullish outlook. Yet note that the index\u2019s price action has been testing the upper Bollinger band and RSI indicator has reached the reading of 70, both implying that the index\u2019s price action may be nearing overbought levels and prone for a correction lower. For the bullish outlook to be maintained, we may see the index aiming if not reaching the 6400 (R1) resistance line. For a bearish outlook we would require the index to reverse course, breaking the 6140 (S1) support line and continue lower to break also the 5925 (S2) support level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
