Market data to trade on Wednesday: US rate decision; GFRD earnings

Galliford Try (GFRD) and General Mills (GIS) are the only areas of corporate interest in what is otherwise a day dominated by the US rate decision.

The FX markets will be absorbed by positioning on the expectations of a 75-percentage point rise in US rates or the slim chance of a full percentage point increase.

Today’s coverage:

 

Just one game in town today and that’s the Fed which is twisting pretty much all markets. Yields are rising on expectations that Fed action will crush appetite for risk assets. 2yr UST yield now at 15yr highs  

Indices: Down across the board, despite hopes that the Fed will soon be done in raising rates – economists still looking for 75bps although could there be one more big market shock with 100 percentage point rise?

FX: USD rising although no runaway recent highs for the dollar, just keeping pretty much all crosses at recent levels. If anything there’s a bigger bid on USD vs NOK and CAD as commodity currencies which are underperforming  

Equities: Nothing particularly standing out, although earnings today from GFRD and GIS

Commods: Gold consolidating at recent lows poised for more declines should the Fed go big and tell markets there no let up. Oil down for a 3rds day but not scoring recent lows

Early Morning Call: dollar shows strength ahead of Fed rate decision

Yields are rising on expectations that Fed action will crush appetite for risk assets. Two-year UST yield now at 15-year highs.

 

 

 Jeremy Naylor | Writer, London | Publication date: Wednesday 21 September 2022 

Macro overview

Indices in the Asia-Pacific region traded lower overnight, following the negative lead of the US, as markets expect another oversized rate hike by the Federal Reserve (Fed).

Indeed, a 75-basis point (bps) hike is fully priced in, but some wonder whether the Fed could go even higher this time. The latest data shows a 17% probability of a full percentage point increase. This probability went as high as 35% on September 13 on the back of the latest US consumer price index (CPI).

Last August, headline CPI came in at 8.3% year-on-year (YoY), lower than the 8.5% recorded in July, but beating expectations of an 8.1% rise. Core CPI unexpectedly rose by 6.3%, from 5.9% in July.

Since the Jackson Hole symposium, Fed members have been very vocal, from Atlanta's Fed president Raphael Bostic saying the Fed still has 'some work to do', to Fed vice chair Lael Brainard saying 'we are in this for as long as it takes to get inflation down', to Jerome Powell's statement last week: "we need to act now, forthrightly, strongly as we have been doing." And charts reflect that. US treasury yields are at their highest since 2011, the dollar index trades near two-decade highs and gold is at a 2 ½-year low.

Elsewhere the Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced an unscheduled bond buying operation overnight as the authorities there continue to try to support the market. Also, a survey by Reuters indicated that economists are split on whether there will be intervention on the yen.

The Bank of England (BoE) is expected to raise its interest rates by 50-basis points tomorrow. Today in the UK we have some stats that are perhaps more important to the UK chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, ahead of his first budget that is to be delivered on Friday.

Public sector net borrowing for reached £11.06 billion in August, after £2.1bn in July.

In the US we see that start of building permits and housing. August data will be published at 1.30pm, followed at 3.30pm by EIA crude oil inventories.

Commodities

Yesterday API reported an increase in inventories across the board. Crude oil stocks rose by one million barrels, lower than the 2.3-million barrel increase anticipated by analysts. Note that the Department of Energy released another 6.9 million barrels from SPR.

Gasoline stocks rose by 3.2 million barrels, distillates by 1.5 million barrels.

Equities

Elsewhere, Galliford Try PLC posted a 68% pre-tax profit increase to £19.1 million, and announced a total dividend of 8 pence, up 70% on last year.

French industrial conglomerate Schneider Electric SA has agreed a deal to buy out minority shareholders in British software company Aveva Group PLC at a cost of £31 per share.

In the US, General Mills Inc is due to report its first quarter (Q1) earnings before the US market opens. Analysts expect earnings of 99 cents per share on revenue of $4.72bn.

Early Morning Call: equity markets slide after Fed warns of more hikes to come

Global markets drop and are on the way to a total retracement of the recent bear market rally. Europe expected to open lower.

 

 Jeremy Naylor | Writer, London | Publication date: Thursday 22 September 2022

Macro overview

Equity markets in Europe opened today’s session lower, matching the performance of US and APAC indices, after the US Federal Reserve (Fed) raised its interest rates by another 75-basis points (bps).

The dollar basket has set a new two-decade high, now trading above 111. As expected, the Fed raised its target for Fed funds rates to 3%-3.25%, a decision unanimously taken by Fed board members, as the latest inflation data showed no improvement despite its efforts.

Federal Reserve

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement reiterated “the committee is strongly committed to returning inflation to its 2% objective.” Fed chair, Jerome Powell said "we have got to get inflation behind us. I wish there were a painless way to do that. There isn't."

The Fed funds rate projection indicates a further 125 basis point increase by the end of the year.

During the press conference that followed the announcement, Powell singled out the housing market as a persistent source of rising consumer inflation: "What we need is supply and demand to get better aligned ... We probably in the housing market have to go through a correction to get back to that place."

Alongside the rate decision, the Fed published its latest economic projections and expects the economy to slow. New projections see the economy growing by 0.2% in 2022, rising to 1.2% in 2023. Unemployment, currently at 3.7%, is anticipated to rise to 3.8% this year and to 4.4% in 2023.

As for inflation, new projections put it on a slow path back to 2% in 2025.

Bank of Japan

As widely expected, the Bank of Japan(BoJ) kept its ultra-accommodative policy in place. The short-term interest rate remains at -0.1%, and 10-year bond yields target around 0% by a unanimous vote.

BoJ governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, has ruled out a near-term withdrawal of stimulus, arguing that wages need to rise more to sustainably achieve his 2% inflation target.

Kuroda’s dovish message further weakened the yen. USD/JPY briefly climbed above ¥145 for the first time since August 1998.

Bank of England

Having delayed its meeting from last week after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the Bank of England (BoE) decides today on its interest rates. Economists expect another 50-basis point hike, which would take the main rate to 2.25%.

As opposed to the Fed and the European Central Bank (ECB), the BOE hasn't yet opted for a larger, one might say more courageous rate increase of 75-basis points, which is one of the reasons why GBP/USD has fallen some 15% in the past eight months.

It's worth recalling that second quarter (Q2) gross domestic product (GDP) contracted for the first time in more than a year, and last Friday's retail sales showed a much larger than forecast drop for the month of August. Therefore, any rise in sterling on the back of a hawkish BoE move could be short-lived as the risk of recession is mounting.

Equities

Elsewhere on the equity market, JD Sports Fashion PLC posted first half (H1) results at the top end of the board's expectations. Profit before tax and exceptional items reached £383.5 million, lower than £439.5m posted a year ago.

In the US, FedEx Corp is expected to confirm weak earnings and revenue, after its warning last week. FedEx shares tanked in extended trading after the company withdrew its full-year financial forecast.

FedEx says it expects to post earnings of $3.44 per share, well below analysts' consensus of $5.17. Revenue should also fall short of expectations, at $23.20 billion. FedEx CEO, Raj Subramaniam, said in a statement that "global volumes declined as macroeconomic trends significantly worsened later in the quarter, both internationally and in the U.S. We are swiftly addressing these headwinds, but given the speed at which conditions shifted, first quarter results are below our expectations".

Also expected today are quarterly reports from Accenture PLC and Costco Wholesale Corp.

Commodities

On the commodity market, oil prices fell after the Federal Reserve announcement. Yesterday the EIA confirmed API estimates of a stock increase across the board. Crude inventories rose by 1.1 million barrels last week, gasoline stocks rose by 2.6 million barrels, while distillates also rose by 1.2 million barrels.

Early Morning Call: another day of losses for indices while GBP under more pressure

 Jeremy Naylor | Writer, London | Publication date: Friday 23 September 2022 09:40

Equity overview

Asia-Pacific equity markets fell overnight, following the lead of the US, as investors continue to assess the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) latest decision and comments.

Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 dropped 1.87% as trade reopened after a holiday on Thursday.

After Goldman Sachs Group Inc (All Sessions) earlier this week, Nomura Holdings Inc lowered its forecast for China's 2023 annual growth to 4.3% from 5.1%.

Forex

The yen is on track to post its first weekly gain against the dollar following five weeks of decline, after Japanese authorities intervened in foreign exchange markets yesterday. USD/JPY fell as much as 1% yesterday, down to ¥140.3, before rising again and settling above ¥142.

This government intervention, the first since 1998, came only hours after the Bank of Japan (BoJ) decided to maintain its ultra-low interest rates.

In the UK, GfK Consumer Confidence fell to a new all-time low of -49 in September, largely beating expectations of -42. Gfk’s Joe Staton said: “consumers are buckling under the pressure of the UK's growing cost-of-living crisis driven by rapidly rising food prices, domestic fuel bills and mortgage payments.”

Alongside its decision to raise interest rate by 50 basis points, the Bank of England (BoE) indicated yesterday it expected inflation to peak at 11% in October.

Later this morning, the market will get further indication of how the economic slowdown is shaping up, with the publication of manufacturing and services PMI flash for the month of September. Investors will be particularly attentive to France's manufacturing PMI, expected to join Germany and UK in contraction territory, and UK services PMI, expected to fall to 50, from 50.9 the previous month.

The new chancellor of the exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng, is expected to deliver a budget that will promise a "new era for Britain". Despite being billed as a mini-budget, expectations are that it will deliver a significant package of measures to turn the 'vicious cycle of stagnation into a virtuous cycle of growth".

Corporate overview

Elsewhere on the corporate front, FedEx Corp published its quarterly earnings in session yesterday evening, and confirmed what it had announced last week. It posted earnings of 3.44 per share on revenue of $23.20 billion. For the current quarter, FedEx sees revenue between $23.5bn and $24bn.

FedEx also announced a cost cutting plan of up to $2.7bn in full-year (FY) 2023

In the UK, Made.com Group PLC has decided to withdraw its FY forecast due to “challenging” market conditions and will conduct a strategic review which includes a formal sale process.

Smiths Group PLC reported a rise in full-year profit and revenue and added it expects moderate margin improvement next year.

Commodities

On the commodity market, lumber is back to testing support after Fed chairman, Jerome Powell, singled out the housing market as a persistent source of rising consumer inflation: "What we need is supply and demand to get better aligned ... We probably in the housing market have to go through a correction to get back to that place."

WTI and Brent are on track to post a fourth straight week of losses, ahead of Baker Hughes data. Last week, total rig count rose by four to 763, as the number of oil rigs in operation increased by eight to 599.

Risk-off prevails in APAC

Risk-off sentiment prevailed in the Asia-Pacific region overnight, as investors reacted to Friday’s selloff in European and US equity markets and saw the dollar basket briefly rising above 114 in the early hours.

UK mini-budget

Sterling continues to lose ground against all major currencies as traders are still assessing the “mini-budget” unveiled by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng.

GBP/USD hit an all-time low of $1.0322 overnight, falling as much as 5% on Friday’s close.

The FTSE 100 is starting the week higher paring some of Friday’s losses. The index dropped as much as 200 points after the presentation of the “mini-budget”, a hit three-month low.

Among the biggest fallers in Friday's session were energy and materials producer, a direct consequence of a weaker pound. BP PLC, Shell PLC, Glencore PLC (LSE), Antofagasta PLC and Anglo American PLC all fell in excess of 5%.

Macro overview

In Japan, the Jibun Bank Manufacturing PMI fell to 51 in September, from 51.5 in August. This is the 20th straight month of expansion in the sector, but the lowest since January 2021.

Services PMI rose to a three-month high of 51.9, from 49.5 in August, which meant that composite PMI climbed back to expansion territory at 50.9.

Markets await Germany Ifo business climate at 9am. Economists expect the index to fall for a third straight month in September, to 87 from 88.5 in August. The same goes for the other two indicators, current conditions and expectations, expected at 96 and 79 respectively.

This week will be a testing week for the DAX. German Gfk consumer confidence on Wednesday is expected to fall to a new record low in October. On Thursday, consumer price index (CPI) is forecast to jump to 9.5% in September, from 7.9% the previous month. And on Friday, retail sales in the country are anticipated to drop by 5.1% in August, twice the decline posted in July.

A couple of indicators are expected in the US: the Chicago Fed national activity index for August and the Dallas Fed manufacturing index for the month of September. The dollar is very likely to stay strong. Overnight the dollar basket set a new two-decade high, rising as high as 114.41.

Commodities

On Friday afternoon, WTI fell below $80 per barrel for the first time since January. The highest point last week for WTI was on Wednesday morning, hours before the Federal Reserve (Fed) raised Fed funds rates by another 75-basis points. Since the announcement, oil dropped as the dollar strengthened.

Last week was the fourth weekly decline for WTI and Brent, which was a first since November last year, and well on track for a fourth consecutive monthly decline, which hasn't happened since the first four months of 2020.

Last Friday, Baker Hughes total rig count rose by one to 764. That's 243 up on this time last year. The number of oil rigs in operation increased by three to 602, while the operational gas rigs fell by two to 162.

Dollar strength is also affecting base metals. Copper and zinc now trade at two-month lows. Aluminium ($5 Mini Contract) is at its lowest since March 2021.

Lumber showed signs of weakness in the second part of last week, after Fed Chairman, Jerome Powell, highlighted the imbalances of the US housing market, and has now gone through an important support level, back to levels not seen since July 2020.

Finally, a quick look at gold, which fell as low at $1,640 on Friday, its lowest level since April 2020.

    • FLOKI, one of the rising stars in the crypto market, has been making headlines recently. Here's a breakdown of what you need to know about the current state of FLOKI and why it could be a smart move for investors this quarter. 1. Current Market Performance As of now, FLOKI coin is trading at $0.000123, experiencing a 1.50% drop in the last 24 hours, according to Coinpedia markets.

If you're someone looking for a reliable investment, FLOKI might be worth considering. Many investors view it as a "no-brainer", especially with its ability to maintain key support levels even during periods of volatility. 2. Valhalla's Rising Influence Crypto analyst Jelle recently noted FLOKI’s increased visibility, particularly through its association with Valhalla—a popular name in sports events.

More and more traders are turning to it as a preferred tool for buying and selling tokens, adding to the coin’s overall credibility and growth potential. 3. Key Market Trends: Higher Lows and Positive Momentum FLOKI’s price action is following an encouraging trend. The coin is forming higher lows, meaning its support levels are progressively stronger. This is usually a bullish signal, indicating that there’s room for growth in the near future. With the broader crypto market expected to perform well in Q4, FLOKI is excellently positioned to ride this wave of positive momentum. Analysts believe that the coin could see significant gains as we approach the end of the year, making it an appealing option for both short-term and long-term investors. 4. FLOKI Trading Bot: A Game Changer for Traders One of FLOKI's most innovative features is its trading bot, which has already achieved some impressive milestones: $27 million in trading volume 20,000+ active users The FLOKI Trading Bot is designed to offer traders a fast and efficient way to execute trades, eliminating common issues like slow DEXs, transaction delays, and slippage.

    • Gold Elliott Wave Analysis Gold Elliott Wave Analysis: Strong Rally with More Upside Expected Gold has broken out of its 3-week range and surged to a new record high, continuing its highly profitable run for investors in 2024. Since ending a prolonged 51-month bearish phase from the September 2011 peak in September 2022, the yellow metal has appreciated nearly 60%. This impressive rally shows no signs of stopping in the short term, but traders should be cautious about entering new positions at elevated levels. Here's a detailed analysis from an Elliott Wave perspective.   Long-Term Chart Analysis On the daily chart, Gold has been in a steady bullish trend since December 2015. According to Elliott Wave theory, the market completed the supercycle degree wave (IV) in September 2022. This marked the end of the 51-month bearish phase that started in September 2011. The completion of wave (IV) set the stage for a new impulsive wave (V), which is currently unfolding.   Within this wave (V), waves I and II were completed in May and October 2023, respectively. Gold is now progressing in wave (3) of 3 (circled) of wave III. Wave (3) is a powerful impulse wave that is driving prices higher, and it is currently in its final stage, labeled as wave 5 of (3). This final leg of wave (3) is also forming an impulsive structure, indicating that the bullish momentum remains strong. The strength of the current uptrend suggests that traders should consider buying pullbacks, as these dips could offer attractive entry points for long positions. Long-term investors can also continue to hold, as the broader trend remains firmly bullish, and there is potential for more upside.   Daily Chart Analysis From a closer look at the daily chart, the ongoing advance in wave (3) is part of a larger impulsive structure. Wave (3) of 3 (circled) has been particularly strong, and within this wave, the final phase (wave 5 of (3)) is approaching completion. This suggests that while the uptrend is intact, the market may soon face a period of consolidation or a minor corrective pullback before resuming its upward trajectory. For now, Gold is likely to continue its advance toward new highs. Traders should focus on timing their entries during pullbacks to maximize profit potential, while long-term buyers are advised to stay the course and hold their positions as wave (V) continues to unfold.   H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the structure of wave 5 of (3) is more clearly visible. The sub-waves that comprise this final phase started forming in late June 2024. At this point, waves i and ii (circled) within wave 5 of (3) have already completed, and Gold is currently advancing in wave iii (circled). Zooming further into wave iii (circled), we can see that the price is in wave iii of (iii), which is often the most powerful part of an impulse wave. This sub-wave is expected to drive Gold toward the 2750 level in the coming weeks. However, traders should avoid buying from current highs, as entering at the top of a strong rally could expose positions to near-term pullbacks. Instead, waiting for decent corrections will offer better entry opportunities for long positions.   Conclusion Gold remains in a strong bullish trend, with the Elliott Wave structure suggesting further upside potential. The market is advancing in wave (3) of 3 (circled) of wave III, with the next major target being around the 2750 level. While the trend remains robust, traders are advised to wait for pullbacks to enter new long positions rather than chasing the current highs. Long-term investors can maintain their positions, as the broader outlook continues to favor further gains. Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
