The release implied an expansion of economic activity for the US manufacturing sector, the first since October 2022. On the monetary front we may see Fed policymakers pushing back against market expectations for the bank to proceed with rate cuts from June onwards which may also provide some support for the greenback. To that end we note Cleveland Fed President Mester, a well-known hawk among Fed policymakers and we would not be surprised to see San Francisco Fed President Daly making similar remarks. It\u2019s notable that despite USD\u2019s ascent, gold\u2019s price also tended to maintain breaking the classic negative corelation of the two trading instruments . Today we note the release of the JOLTS Job openings for February, and we also highlight the release of the US factory orders growth rate for the same month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the Atlantic, we highlight for EUR traders the release of Germany\u2019s preliminary HICP rate for March and should the rate slow down as expected we may see the common currency slipping as the release could intensify market expectations for the ECB to start cutting rates earlier than the rest of the central banks. It should be noted that France\u2019s sister indicator for the same month slowed down more than expected. Across the Channel we note that UK\u2019s nationwide house prices for March contracted unexpectedly on a month-on-month basis, yet pound traders did not seem to be disappointed for the time being. Nevertheless, we also highlight the release of UK\u2019s final manufacturing PMI figure for March later in today\u2019s European session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EUR\/USD edged lower yesterday, breaking the 1.0740 (R1) support line, now turned to resistance. We tend to maintain a bearish outlook for the pair given that the downward trendline guiding the pair remains intact and the RSI indicator remains near the reading of 30, implying a strong bearish sentiment in the market for the pair. On the other hand, the RSI indicator may also imply that the pair is in oversold territory and ripe for a correction higher. Should the bears maintain control over the pair we may see it aiming if not reaching the 1.0615 (S1) support line. Should the bulls take over ,we may see the pair breaking the 1.0740 (R1) resistance line, breaking also the prementioned downward trendline in a first signal that the downward motion has been interrupted, and breach the 1.0890 (R2) resistance base.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GBP\/USD fell yesterday, breaking the 1.2600 (R1) support line, now turned to resistance. We tend to maintain a bearish outlook for the pair given that the downward trendline guiding the pair remains intact and the RSI indicator remains near the reading of 30, implying a strong bearish sentiment in the market for the pair. Should the selling interest be maintained, we may see cable breaking the 1.2480 (S1) line aiming for the 1.2375 (S2) support base . Should buyers take over ,we may see GBP\/USD breaking the 1.2600 (R1) resistance line, breaking also the prementioned downward trendline in a first signal that the downward motion has been interrupted, and take aim of the 1.2760 (R2) resistance hurdle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-highlights-for-the-day\"><strong>Other highlights for the day:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we note France\u2019s, Germany\u2019s and the Eurozone\u2019s manufacturing PMI all for March. Oil traders on the other hand may be more interested in the release of the US API weekly crude oil inventories figure. In tomorrow\u2019s Asian session we note Japan\u2019s Jibunk Final services and composite PMI figures for March, followed by China\u2019s Caixin Services PMI figure also for March. On a monetary level, we note the speeches by Fed Board Governor Bowman, New York Fed President Williams, Cleveland Fed President Mester, and San Francisco Fed President Daly. On another note, we highlight that Alberto G. Musalem begins his tenure as St. Louis Fed President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eur-usd-h4-chart\"><strong>EUR\/USD H4 Chart<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"452\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-5.png\" alt=\"support at one point zero six one five and resistance at one point zero seven four, direction downwards     \" class=\"wp-image-79282\" title=\"eur-usd-four-hour-chart\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Support: 1.0615 (S1), 1.0450 (S2), 1.0290 (S3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resistance: 1.0740 (R1), 1.0890 (R2), 1.1010 (R3) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gbp-usd-h4-chart\"><strong>GBP\/USD H4 Chart<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"975\" height=\"452\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-6.png\" alt=\"support at one point two four eight and resistance at one point two six, direction downwards      \" class=\"wp-image-79283\" title=\"gbp-usd-four-hour-chart \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Support: 1.2480 (S1), 1.2375 (S2), 1.2285 (S3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resistance: 1.2600 (R1), 1.2760 (R2), 1.2890 (R3) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1990\" height=\"484\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79284\" title=\"benchmark-02-04-2024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"561\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79287\" title=\"table-02-04-2024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1215\" height=\"1125\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79285\" title=\"morning-releases-02-04-2024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1358\" height=\"502\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-9.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79286\" title=\"morning-releases-02-04-2024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">If you have any general queries or comments relating to this article please send an email directly to our Research team at <a href=\"mailto:research_team@ironfx.com\" target=\"_self\">research_team@ironfx.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclaimer:<br>This information is not considered as investment advice or an investment recommendation, but instead a marketing communication.
