The Week Ahead On The Markets
MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
The week begins quietly with a UK bank holiday, though markets will no doubt still be digesting the Jackson Hole comments from Jerome Powell and other key central bankers. But the week also sees the release of US job numbers for August, plus the return of the ADP private payroll report.

Third straight day of decline came with a lighter extent of sell-off: Brent crude, Straits Times Index, GBP/USD
MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
Major US indices edged lower overnight once more, but the lighter extent of sell-off compared to the previous two trading days could suggest that the caution around some push-back of a dovish pivot may have been largely priced.

The Week Ahead On The Markets
MongiIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
A busy week ahead sees a raft of purchasing managers index (PMI) surveys on Tuesday, with the contraction seen in mainland European manufacturing expected to continue apace. A US GDP revision brings potential volatility for the dollar, although traders will likely spend more time focusing on the PCE inflation data and Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole appearance as they look for signs that inflation has topped out.

Contractionary Monetary Policy: What is it and How Does it Work?
AndaIG posted a blog entry in IG Community Blog,
Contractionary monetary policy is the process whereby a central bank deploys various tools to lower inflation and the general level of economic activity. Central banks do so through a combination of interest rate hikes, raising the reserve requirements for commercial banks and by reducing the supply of money through large-scale government bond sales, also known as, quantitative tightening (QT).

Swiss Franc Firming Against US Dollar and Euro. Will Momentum Take CHF Higher?
AndaIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
EUR/CHF made a 7.5-year low at the end of last month at 0.9699, moving below the previous low of 0.9804.
Since breaking lower, the price has not managed to reclaim 0.9804 and it may continue to offer resistance. The 21-day Simple Moving Averages (SMA)is currently at that level, potentially adding resistance.
Further up, the recent peak of 0.9957 might offer resistance ahead of the break point at 0.9973.
In the last session, the price has crossed below the 10-day SMA and remains below the 21-, 55-, 100- and 200-day SMAs.
A bearish triple moving average (TMA) formation requires the price to be below the short term SMA, the latter to be below the medium term SMA and the medium term SMA to be below the long term SMA. All SMAs also need to have a negative gradient.
Looking at EUR/CHF, the criteria for a bearish TMA has been met and may indicate that bearish momentum could evolve further.
Support might be at the recent low of 0.9699 or further down at the 161.8% Fibonacci Extension of 0.9638.

USD/CHF TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
USD/CHF has bounced off low made at the start of this month at 0.9470 to trade in a wide range of 0.9545 – 0.9650. These levels might provide support and resistance respectively.
While the price is below all short-, medium- and long-term Simple Moving Averages (SMA), they have positive and negative gradients. This may suggest a lack of conviction for directional momentum that might see further range trading.
Re-iterating this possibility is the price criss-crossing the 10-day SMA. Recent history has shown that when the price crosses the 10-day SMA, momentum in that direction continues. That is not the case over the last week.
The recent low of 0.9470 may provide support ahead of the break point at 0.9460. On the topside, resistance might be at the break point of 0.9710 or the July peak of 0.9886.
