USD and many indices took a hit of around 100 pip/tick today on news China was considering stopping buying US Treasuries. Be interesting to see if there is any follow through as price approaches the weekly support at 110.85.

It looks like this may not be the case! 

 

Report on China slowing US bond purchases may be fake

06:06 11.01.18

 

  • FX regulator: report may be based on erroneous information
  • China has been diversifying forex reserves investments - SAFE
  • Says China's investment in U.S. treasury bonds market-driven

BEIJING, Jan 11 (Reuters) – A report that China is considering slowing or halting purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds may be based on erroneous information and could be "fake", the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Thursday.

 

Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday that Chinese officials reviewing the country's vast foreign exchange holdings had recommended slowing or halting purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds amid a less attractive market for them and rising U.S.-China trade tensions. The report sent U.S. Treasury yields to 10-month highs and sent the dollar lower.

 

"The news could quote the wrong source of information, or may be fake news," the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) said in a statement published on its website.

 

Bloomberg News could not immediately comment on the foreign exchange regulator's statement.

Interesting the affect news has, be it true or fake. The dow, dax, ftse and usdjpy all took around a 100 tick hit, but the dow and ftse recovered while the dax and usdjpy didn't. News often doesn't change a markets direction but rather either gives it a push onward or just makes it stagger temporarily.

    • Natural Gas Mode - Impulsive  Structure - Impulse Wave  Position - Wave (iii) of 5 Direction - Wave (iii) of 5 still in play   Details:  Price now in wave iii as it attempts to breach 1.65 wave i low. Wave (iii) is still expected to extend lower in an impulse.   Natural Gas is currently breaching the previous April low, marking a decisive move as the impulse initiated on 5th March continues its downward trajectory, further extending the overarching impulse wave sequence that commenced back in August 2022. This decline is anticipated to persist as long as the price remains below the critical resistance level of 2.012.   Zooming in on the daily chart, we observe the medium-term impulse wave originating from August 2022, which is persisting in its downward trend after completing its 4th wave - delineated as primary wave 4 in blue (circled) - at 3.666 in October 2023. Presently, the 5th wave, identified as primary blue wave 5, is underway, manifesting as an impulse at the intermediate degree in red. It is envisaged that the price will breach the February 2024 low of 1.533 as wave 5 of (3) seeks culmination before an anticipated rebound in wave (4). This confluence of price movements underscores the bearish sentiment prevailing over Natural Gas in the medium term.   Analyzing the H4 chart, we initiated the impulse wave count for wave (3) from the level of 2.012, which marks the termination point of wave 4. Notably, price action formed a 1-2-1-2 structure, with confirmation established at 1.65 and invalidation set at 2.012. The confirmation of our anticipated direction materialized as price breached the 1.65 mark, signifying a resumption of bearish momentum. Presently, there appears to be minimal resistance hindering the bears, thereby reinstating their dominance in the market. It is projected that wave iii of (iii) of 5 will manifest around 1.43, indicative of the potential for the wave 5 low to extend to 1.3 or even lower. This comprehensive analysis underscores the prevailing bearish outlook for Natural Gas in the immediate future.       Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
