News

16.01.2020 – Daily Report. The New York Stock Exchange is on a quiet and steady upward trend. While investors in the USA are applauding the customs deal with China, investors in Frankfurt are playing coy. Many Asian stock exchange traders are also analyzing the small print for the first time.

Frankfurt slightly in the red

Shareholders’ capital is increasingly flowing to New York, while Frankfurt is still lagging behind: the DAX was down 0.1 percent at noon on 13,420 points. There is still a bit of air left until the all-time high at 13,596 points. Apparently, many investors who believe in chart analysis expect that the DAX will first have to close the upward gap it tore last week in order to pick up.

Caution in Asiae

Investors in Asia also tended to stay on the sidelines. The Nikkei closed with a minimal plus of 0.1 percent at 23,933 points. The major Chinese stocks in the CSI-300 lost 0.4 percent to 4,149 points.

Promises, Promises

Many brokers welcomed the completion of Phase 1 – delivered as ordered and announced by US President Donald Trump. The stock market loves reliability. In addition, the fact that China intends to buy US goods worth around 200 billion dollars over the next two years exceeded expectations. However, it remains to be seen whether and how Beijing will fill this promise with life. And as described in our Annual Outlook, the really important problems are only in Phase 2 – industrial espionage and favouring domestic companies in China. We are skeptical that Beijing will change its business model. In fact, China has bought itself time now. And Washington is keeping existing punitive tariffs as a disciplining whip. Presumably nothing will happen until the presidential election.

Records on the US stock markets

Gregory Gilligan, Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, commented on CNBC that there is moderate optimism among companies after the customs deal, despite the continuing uncertainty. The target of 200 billion dollars will be difficult to achieve, but this is better than no way to sell goods at all.
So Wall Street celebrated the deal. The Dow Jones rose 0.3 percent to 29,030 points at the closing bell – a new closing record. In the course of trading, the leading index had marked an all-time high at 29,128 points. The S&P 500 rose by 0.2 percent to 3,289 digits at the end of trading – this was also a new closing high. The Nasdaq Composite had also reached a record high in intraday trading, and the high-tech index closed with a moderate gain of 0.1 percent at 9,259 points.
.

Serenity in New York

What the bulls should keep a close eye on is the fact that there is still no sign of exuberant euphoria on Wall Street. This would be a signal to get out. But instead, the major indices have groped their way forward a bit, only to fall back again before the daily high. Sensible cash management, then. Or is it Sell the News? Let’s wait and see. Another look into the Washington swamp: The articles in the impeachment indictment finally delivered to the Senate by the Democrats in the House of Representatives are currently not an issue for the bulls. Because the Republican defensive front in the Senate is in place.

The Eternal Tsar

Traders in EURRUB and investors who trade online shares on the Russian stock exchange should also keep an eye on the policy. We are not alone in suspecting that the current government reshuffle in Moscow is the harbinger of major events. Most likely, the Russian constitution will soon be amended – to allow the president to remain in power indefinitely and not just two terms in office at a time. Of course, this would be an autocratic move that will secure Vladimir Putin’s place in the Kremlin for the rest of his life. The financial market and the people should welcome the move, as it should ensure stability and prosperity for Russia for a number of years until the succession is settled.

What the day brings

The diary brings some interesting events, you can find the overview as always here: Market Mover
Traders in Euro and European government bonds will be watching the news on the trading platform closely at 1:30pm, as the ECB minutes of the meeting on 12th of December will be running on the tickers.

What recently seemed to be a small market error is beginning to look like a frightening trend. The Swiss franc ignores absolutely any positive news in the world economy and keeps growing against all major currencies.
Who feels bad about it? Bad, above all, for the Swiss economy itself. Exports and production are becoming less competitive and tourists do not want to visit the “expensive country”, which is becoming even more expensive. We passed all this 8 years ago, when the Swiss Central Bank first conducted currency interventions and then set the bar at 1.20 per euro/franc.

USD/CHF chart of the day

If stock markets continue to grow, we will not see any currency interventions in the near future. But what happens when the markets start to fall? For example, from May, which is traditionally bad for the stock market? The flow of money, which is sent to the Swiss franc, may reach the size of a huge avalanche. And it will be too late to do anything on the move.
We are sure that not only the Swiss National Bank, but also large hedge funds around the world are thinking about this problem. In any case, traders should understand that when sentiment changes in the stock market, it is the franc that can grow the most.

EURO

After a couple of abrupt moves in early 2020, EUR starts doing what it did for most of the past year. Namely, do nothing at all, but oscillate near the 200-day moving average. So far we do not see the emergence of new trends, which means that speculators working on the strategy of “carry trade” continue to make money without much risk.

Gold

A small consolidation, after a strong drop from the highs of the year, only benefited the yellow metal. Investors saw that there were no more people willing to sell the gold and started buying it again hoping for new growth. Against this background, the yellow metal rose in trading on Wednesday to 1555$ per troy ounce. Analysts continue to insist that the growth at the end of the year will be about 10-20%, so the most interesting things are still ahead.

Is this about Bitcoin? Oddly enough, it’s not even about Bitcoin. Yes, Bitcoin has grown by 8% by the time this review was written. However, which has become very rare for the market, on Tuesday most altcoins have grown much stronger than bitcoin. For example, Ethereum is 15 percent higher, and Bitcoin SV is 95 percent higher.

BTC/USD chart of the day

It takes one bitcoin to diversify from currencies and futures. In the crypto market there are those changes, which at the beginning of the year were detailed in one of the reviews. Those who missed it, again we recommend you to find and read the article.
It is very likely that this year Bitcoin will again become an asset that will bring maximum profit to trendy players.

JAPANESE YEN

As part of yesterday’s algorithm, the Japanese yen touched the border and fell below 110 yen for 1 US dollar. As the pair tried, but did not leave below the level on the same day, Wednesday becomes a critical day. If there is a second consecutive closing above 110 yen, we can predict a new range of 110-115.

S&P 500

And the American stock market does not care about any news at all! Traditionally, it drops slightly during the Asian and sometimes European session. Then American investors wake up, look at a more attractive price than last night and rejoice. They drink coffee, buy back cheaper stocks and go to bed. Wake up in the morning and rejoice again.
No matter how much the public hits Donald Trump, he fulfills his election promise that stock markets will grow under him as a businessman.

What awaits us today?

14.01.2020 – Daily Report. The start of trading in the Dax today can certainly be described as bumpy. In the first few minutes of trading, the stock market barometer plummeted to just under 13,355 points. However, a recovery movement began from this level, so that the Dax currently stands at 13,457 points, almost unchanged.

The benchmarks from the overseas stock exchanges have been positive through the Bank. Both the broad-based S&P500 and the Nasdaq technology exchange were able to achieve new highs. The Dax is also not far from its all-time high of 13,597 points.

Investors are likely to continue to focus on two events. On the one hand, all eyes are on the partial agreement in the trade dispute between the USA and China. The signing of the so-called Phase 1 deal is likely to be imminent. On the other hand, this evening marks the start of the reporting season in the US, where companies will provide insights into their Q4 business. The quarterly reporting season will be opened by the major banks JP Morgan, Citigroup and Wells Fargo. On average, analysts expect companies to report a decline in profits for the past quarter.

Against the background of the current global easing, the price of gold is easing slightly. Currently, the price of a fine ounce of gold is falling by around 0.3 percent to the current level of USD 1543.55.

Bernstein Bank wishes you succesful trades.

Yesterday the dollar/yen made an important breakthrough, reaching its highs since last May. Now it is at the most important level of 110 yen for 1 US dollar. As we all know, the Japanese currency is very trendy. That is, once the movement started, it can continue for a very long time. Trend is our friend, so we keep a close eye on what happens next.

USD/JPY chart of the day

There are now two main possible options. In one case there will be a false breakthrough, removal of stops and the pair will go down again. In the second case, the break-up will be true (probably, not from the first time) and the pair will move into the new growing range 110-115. Therefore, most speculators will use break-down strategies at this level, with small stops and large take profits. It is important for traders to keep this in mind when searching for entry points.

SWISS FRANC

Once again, please note that the second protective currency, the Swiss franc, shows an inverse trend. While the Japanese yen is falling, the franc is rising despite the new highs shown by the stock markets. This is a very bad sign personally for the European economy. Investors do not see how it will grow and what assets to invest in. This means they withdraw money in Swiss francs, even if they accept a negative percentage rate.

OIL

Meanwhile, oil falls for 4 consecutive days, all within the scenario we described earlier. And today it has already reached the level of 200 daily simple moving average. If tomorrow this level will be easily broken through, we can say that the bulls are completely capitulating. What can support the black gold? The best scenario for oil is a new round of tension in the Middle East.

What awaits us today?

13.01.2020 – Daily Report. After the stock exchange traders seem to have digested the shock news of the past few days from Iran/Iraq, the new stock market week is starting off on a friendly note. The Dax is currently trading at 13,506 points, up 0.2 percent.

Against the background of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East between Iran and the USA, the German leading index fell below the psychologically important mark of 13,000 points in the previous week. From this level, however, a recovery began quite quickly, so that we are now seeing prices above the 13,500 mark again. The situation in Iran and Iraq continues to be the focus of investor attention, but there are other aspects of the trading week that will provide impetus to the markets as it begins today.
The trade conflict between the U.S. and China is likely to be the focus of attention. A partial agreement between the two superpowers is expected to be signed in midweek. The conflict is far from resolved, but the partial agreement would be a first step in the right direction.
In addition, the reporting season that is about to begin in the USA should provide some impetus. With Citigroup, JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, the American heavyweights of the financial industry are giving the financial industry a glimpse into their books.
On Thursday, a speech by the new ECB chief Lagarde is eagerly awaited.
Today’s calendar with economic and business data is rather thinly populated.
At 10:30 a.m. figures on the gross domestic product from the United Kingdom are due.

The Bernstein Bank wishes you successful trades!

An important outcome of the weekend was Iran’s recognition that the Ukrainian Boeing was hit by their missile. This is absolutely the right decision to reduce tensions in the region as much as possible. However, the U.S. has already imposed new sanctions against Iran, destroying its already weak economy.

Chart of the day AUD/USD

Against this background, all risky assets grew. And the main beneficiary of the growth was the Australian dollar, which everyone had long forgotten about.

AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR

Why is he forgotten? There are several reasons for that. It’s the drop in prices for the main export commodity – iron ore. And the U.S. trade war with China (and China is the largest exporter of that iron ore). And the most difficult situation with fires, which caused Australia’s GDP to lose up to 0.5% per annum.
As a result, the Aussie is on a multi-year low. And not only against the American dollar (which is so clear), but also against other commodity currencies: Canadian and New Zealand dollars.
We know very well when a certain asset becomes completely uninteresting to everyone, that’s when a new bull market starts. Fundamentally and technically, the whole negative is already included in the price. The trade war with China will somehow be closed by the USA in the coming months. And then there is a new positive, in the form of an increase in gold prices, which is also one of the main export commodities. Therefore, it is worth watching the Australian dollar closely all the current year, finding the entry points when reaching new highs.

OIL

Oil prices continued to fall. After the exclusion of the geopolitical factor, the opposition of OPEC states and Russia against oil shale producers in North America begins again. Immediately after the holidays, data on a sharp increase in the number of new drilling rigs in Canada came out. And this is an objective process, given the recent price spike. It can be assumed that in the coming weeks a large number of wells will be reactivated, the owners of which have sold futures for future oil supplies.

09.01.2020 – Daily Report. Despite a renewed missile attack in the area of the US embassy in Baghdad, the signs seem to point to de-escalation between the USA and Iran for the time being. Against this background, the German leading index was able to increase by 1.3% at the start of trading and is currently at 13,492 points.

Today’s trading from the USA and Asia is positive for the bank. Investors were relieved to hear President Trump’s announcement that he will not retaliate militarily for Iran’s missile attack on US military bases in Iraq. While the US government will tighten the thumbscrews in the form of extended economic sanctions against Iran, an at least short-term military strike appears to be moving into the second line.
Against this backdrop, the broad-based S&P500 marked a new record high and closed at 3253 points. The Nasdaq technology exchange did not want to be left behind and also reached a record high. At the end of trading, the Nasdaq Composite stood at 9129 points, an increase of 0.7%.
The positive trend was seamlessly taken up by the Asian stock exchanges in further trading, so that the Japanese Nikkei ended trading with a solid plus of 1.9% at 23,650 points.
Against the background of the latest signs of relaxation, the price of gold fell by around 0.6%. One ounce of gold thus currently costs USD 1,547.98.
The agenda of economic and business reports is quite thin on the ground today. At 10:30am the head of the British central bank, Carney, will give a speech. However, the focus of investors’ attention is likely to be the Non Farm Payrolls data from the U.S., which will be released tomorrow. Analysts expect a figure of 164,000 new jobs.

Everyone said that the Ukrainian plane was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile. The Iranians were preparing for an attack by the Americans and mistakenly mistook the Boeing for an enemy plane.
It is clear that Iran will now sit very quiet. After all, any new aggressive actions and the Americans will bomb everything that is possible from the military infrastructure. Russia and China will not be able to say anything in defence, because they will bomb the terrorists who shot down the Boeing. Why is it important to understand all this?

DAX 30 Day Chart

The theme of the Middle East is removed from the agenda indefinitely. This means that large investors and funds can focus not on risks, but on choosing assets for their portfolios in the coming year.

INDICES

Against this extremely positive background, stock markets continue to storm highs. Bears are closing their positions in panic. January is in most cases a positive month for the stock market.

GOLD

Despite investors fleeing from the protective assets, gold has refused to decline further. As we noticed yesterday, the yellow metal started a strong bullish trend, which will not be able to quickly turn around. Many investors are waiting for the price of $2,000 by the 3rd quarter of this year, which means that risk/profit ratio plays into the hands of bulls.

JAPANESE YEN AND SWISS FRANC

The Japanese yen kept falling, but the franc rose again against the dollar. It seems like Asian investors have a more positive view on what is happening in the world than European investors. And this is an important signal that shows in which world economies the money will go to this year.

What awaits us today?

Only yesterday we wrote about oil and the risks of the bulls that oil producers play against. Today the situation is repeated again. The night gap, where someone was buying contracts again and the next big fall. The chart below speaks for itself.

The WTI chart of the day

Who is the main winner of the last 3 days? Of course, Donald Trump! What do we have on the fact? A comrade-in-arms (for some terrorists, for others a statesman), who has been causing Americans trouble for decades, has been eliminated. And now the US is also imposing new, extremely strong economic sanctions against Iran. There used to be no reason, now there is.

GOLD

It’s also a very interesting day for the gold market. On the news about the release of missiles on U.S. bases, yellow metal reached the level of $ 1610 per troy ounce. And then, when it turned out that the volleys were fired across an empty territory (Iran had warned the Americans in advance), gold turned around and went down $60 from the day’s highs.
However, it should be understood that unlike the history of oil, here it is just the removal of stops, fundamentally gold keeps looking up.

BITCOIN

The main beneficiary of yesterday, oddly enough, was Bitcoin. He also turned down, after an impressive night’s growth. But it didn’t go down, like oil and gold.

JAPAN YEN

The currency, which is traditionally rising sharply at any political tension, showed the most impressive dynamics yesterday. First a sharp rise and then a rapid decline, which exceeded all the strongest expectations.
In general, as we stated the other day, this year will be more volatile and interesting for traders.
