Longer-term, if the Fed is able to increase price pressures but also leave rates near zero for longer, the policy would be negative for the dollar.

“What’s going to happen is when you have all the other central banks starting to pull back their stimulus, starting to show signs of tightening, the Fed is going to lag on that, said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA in New York.

“You’re going to see that interest rate differential not be in the dollar’s favor. It’s just providing a longer-term bearish outlook for the greenback,” Moya said.

The Fed's new policy mix would appear to have significant adverse implications for the US$. The US is a massive consumer of international capital through its twin (fiscal and trade) deficits. The Covid shock saw the US$ lose interest rate support for the dollar, the new Fed policy locks that in that loss and steers investors to expect lower real yields – not something that currencies usually like. All else equal, the US$ would appear to need to fall to entice foreigners into US assets.

The US is not only the most vibrant major economy, it also has an armful of tech leviathans changing the world and dominating global equity indices. The Fed’s policies have no great relevance for Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla etc but, in fostering periods of higher inflation, it is endorsing stronger economic growth which will broaden the attractiveness of US equities. With Japan’s economic revolution under Shinzo Abe having petered out before Abe stepped down for health reasons and with the ECB likely to take a year to complete its policy review – and biased to under-deliver, the Fed has added to US exceptionalism rather than detracted from it.

The new policy is not about creating inflation for its own sake. It aims to sustain the conditions that might be consistent with higher inflation; conditions which should support US corporate profits. None know how ‘hot’ a modern advanced economy needs to run before inflation becomes a problem. What is clear is that, in the US, the threshold is, probably well, above the average growth rate of the ten years pre-Covid (2.4%). The Fed know that monetary policy is nearing the limit of what it can achieve. They are effectively passing the baton to politicians and encouraging them, through fiscal policy, to have a go and they will.

Here is where the price is now (at the time of writing).

In the past, price has gone up and down.  From this point on, it may go up or go down.  Indeed, it is highly likely to go up and down, or down and up.

This has been today's expert market analysis from the DailyB0llocks.

Here's a good one for you Peregrin Took.  See, the lagging span is below the cloud, behind the current price and moving away from the candles; the Cajun chicken is below the ten-cans line, the cloud ahead is turning red again and you've got bearish candles.  So it is a short :)

    • Cocoa Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter-trend Mode - Corrective Structure - Double Zigzag Position - Blue wave ‘b’ Direction - Blue wave ‘b’ is still in play Details - Cocoa found resistance at the 10,000 major level as we expected. We should see at least a 3-waves down below 8000 but preferably an impulse breakdown toward 5,000 for wave c (circled) Cocoa Elliott Wave Analysis After two weeks of recovery, it appears Cocoa is poised for another downturn, putting sellers in control in the short term. Despite the overall bullish long-term trend, the bearish retracement that began from the all-time high is likely to continue lower in the coming weeks.   Daily Chart Analysis: In April 2024, Cocoa completed a long-term bullish impulse wave that began in October 2022, when it was trading at around 2198. After reaching the peak at 11732 in April 2024, Cocoa started a bearish retracement, completing a bearish impulse wave. From this peak, we expect at least a three-wave pullback, if not a larger bearish correction. Considering the path of least resistance, we will adopt a three-wave drop, labeled as waves a-b-c (circled in navy blue). The first two legs, waves a and b, appear to have completed, with wave b finding resistance at the major level of 10,000, as shown on the H4 chart. If wave c declines from the 10,000 level, it could extend lower toward the 5,000 medium level.   H4 Chart Analysis: The H4 chart reveals that the price broke below the trend line connecting the sub-waves of wave b (circled in navy blue), which could mark the beginning of wave c of the same degree. For confirmation, we need to see a more definitive move to the downside. The invalidation level for this bearish scenario is at 11732. A break above this level would signal the continuation of the long-term bullish impulse trend. However, current price action suggests a downward movement toward the 5,000 level in the short and medium term.   Summary: Cocoa's recent two-week recovery appears to be a temporary pause in the larger bearish retracement that started from the all-time high. The daily chart indicates a completed long-term bullish impulse wave from October 2022 to April 2024, followed by a bearish correction. The anticipated three-wave pullback, labeled a-b-c, has waves a and b seemingly complete, with wave b facing resistance at 10,000. The H4 chart supports the start of wave c, with potential downside targets around 5,000. The key invalidation level is 11732; a break above this would negate the bearish outlook and resume the long-term bullish trend. Traders should watch for further downside movement, with a focus on the 5,000 target in the short to medium term.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
