U.S. dollar continues its fall after Jerome Powell’s testimony and the FOMC minutes suggests rate cuts

During the Sydney, Asian and the early stages of the London-European trading sessions USD continued to fall as a consequence of the dovish comments made by Jerome Powell, during his first day of testimony in Washington on Wednesday. June’s FOMC minutes released on Wednesday evening which also indicated the continuation of a dovish stance, added to the losses incurred by USD versus its peers. Mr. Powell indicated that the Fed/FOMC stood ready to act by using loose monetary policy, in order to sustain the decade long period of expansion the USA has experienced.

FX analysts’ and traders’ collective
focus will turn to the U.S. economy this afternoon as the latest CPI (consumer
inflation) data is published. The Reuters forecast is for an annual reading of
1.6% up to June, a fall from the 1.8% recorded for May, with June’s inflation
figure predicted to come in at 0.00%. Such readings (if the forecasts are met)
will provide ammunition and justification for any key interest rate cuts the
Fed/FOMC might engage in, over the short to medium term.

At 8:40am U.K. time on Thursday July
11th USD/JPY traded down -0.32% and USD/CHF traded down -0.27%. Both currency pairs
breached the first level of support, S1, breaking the pattern of gains
witnessed since the strong NFP jobs number suggested a rate rise as part of a
normalisation process, might be considered by the Fed/FOMC. The dollar index,
DXY, traded down -0.23% as USD bearishness remained consistent across the
board.

After printing record intraday highs
in the New York trading session, during which the SPX broke through the key
3,000 handle for the first time in its history, the futures prices for the main
U.S. indices were indicating a rise when New York opens, with the SPX forecast
to reclaim position above the 3,000 level and both the NASDAQ and DJIA forecast
to print record highs. The SPX is close to recording a 20% year to date rise
with the NASDAQ at 23.62%.

The euro rose versus the U.S. dollar
during the early sessions and maintained the gains after the latest German CPI
reading came in at no change from the current 1.6% annual rise. At 9:00am
EUR/USD traded up 0.25% at 1.127 as price threatened to breach the first level
of resistance, R1. The euro’s gains were contained versus the U.S. dollar as
the single bloc currency registered falls versus its other peers; EUR/JPY down
-0.11%, EUR/CHF down -0.08% and EUR/GBP down -0.09%.

Sterling experienced mixed fortunes
versus its main peers, due to USD weakness across the board GBP/USD rose by
0.32% to 1.253 reaching the first level of resistance. However, the major pair
is still trading down -2.05% monthly as a consequence of Brexit fears causing
investors to exit the currency as a position trade over recent weeks. The
entrepreneur Richard Branson voiced his opinion overnight that the U.K. pound
would reach parity with the U.S. dollar in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
Versus both antipodean dollars sterling registered gains. With the exception of
0.26% gains recorded versus USD the Aussie dollar fell versus several of its
peers after investment lending in Australia fell by -1.17% in May.    

After recording gains above 4% during
Wednesday’s trading sessions WTI oil maintained position above the $60.00 a
barrel handle during the Thursday morning session, at 9:30am U.K. time the
commodity traded up 0.76% at $60.89. Price is trading above the three main
DMAs; 50, 100 and 200. The 100 DMA was breached during the 4%+ advancement
registered during Wednesday’s sessions. Gold (XAU/USD) traded up 0.76%
remaining above the $1,400 an ounce handle to trade at 1,423 whilst threatening
to print a fresh six year high of circa 1,440 reached during the previous week’s
trading sessions.
