USD, EUR/USD, AUD/USD ANALYSIS AND TALKING POINTS

  • US Dollar Extends Pullback
  • Euro Lifted By ECB and Kremlin Comments
  • AUD/USD Awaits Local CPI Data

USD: The USD remains on the backfoot following last week’s surprise contraction in the most recent US PMI report. As such, while this has fuelled an unwind of the US Dollar’s recent strength, it is thus far a case of a tactical pullback as opposed to a meaningful pullback. Despite the ECB’s surprise with a 50bps hike to end the era of negative interest rates, the current narrative surrounding Europe remains bleak. For now, the growth story trumps the normalisation outlook, meaning that preference for Euro exposure is on the short side.

This week, we will get a first look at the US Q2 GDP report, consensus looks for a tepid rise of 0.4%. However, there is a heightened risk according to the Atlanta Fed GDP Now Model that the figure could show a contraction, which if realised would mark a technical recession following the 1.6% drop in Q1. Over the weekend, US Treasury Secretary Yellen weighed in on the upcoming GDP report, stating that even if the number is negative, the US is not in a recession now, referencing the fact that the labour market is “extremely strong”. I think this is noteworthy coming from a former Fed Chair, as this gives some insight into perhaps the thinking among the FOMC. Suggesting that the Fed will remain steadfast in tightening policy aggressively as they lean against the strength of the labour market.

The trend is the US Dollar has generally been defined by the 21 and 55DMA. While softer yields and a pick-up in risk sentiment have also weighed on the greenback, the latter is likely a bear market rally as the path of least resistance remains lower in the current backdrop.

    • Ondo finance is a project that is aimed to democratise access to institutional grade financial products and services using blockchain technology.  The project’s team seeks to leverage on the blockchain technology, to improve both the financial infrastructure and accessibility of financial products. The team cuts across former members of reputable firms like Goldman Sachs and partnerships with VCs like; Blackrock and Morgan Stanley. Practically, it seeks to integrate the real world assets with blockchain technology. The native token $ONDO has performed exceedingly well since its launch in January18th, 2024. The tokenized products offered by the project have a bearing to US treasuries and the US money market funds. After keenly reading about this project it is quite clear that it is a fine blend of tradfi and defi product services. With this immense usecase, $ONDO will do very well. Looking at these, T1 platforms like Bitget have listed it and the price action is quite fair thus.        
    • You all will agree with me that many of us tends to focus on big names like BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP. I've followed this trend too. But lately, I've realized there's a whole world of opportunities beyond these mainstream coins. Taking a closer look at the market: BTC and ETH haven't doubled since the start of 2024. Meanwhile, some lesser-known crypto projects have shot up by 400% and more. I am not talking about memecoins  Just today while reading an article about ONDO and ZEEBU published by Bitget, I was amazed to see the incredible growth these two tokens have undergone in the past few months. While ONDO deals with tokenized real-world assets, ZEEBU is a loyalty token for smoother global transactions, rewarding users along the way. Both have seen incredible growth recently. Sure, holding BTC has its perks, but tokens like ONDO and ZEEBU are gaining traction fast. They've already hit billion-dollar market caps from humble beginnings. It seems like these underdog projects might be the ones to watch during this bullish phase. But the challenge remains: how do we identify gems in this evolving landscape?
