FX weekly — DXY and 14 currency pair levels and targets

Brian Twomey Brian's Investment

March 2022, Inflation at 8.5% was matched by GDP in the first quarter at - 2.0%. DXY traded 96.93 and the Fed embarked on the first of 10 interest rate raises. By March 2023 and 1 year later, Inflation traded 1/2 at 4.%. All central banks followed the interest rate path.

All central bank Import lines skyrocketed and Export lines severely dropped along with money supplies. While the BOJ failed to formally raise interest rates, BOJ rates traveled higher and traded fairly volatile to account for rising Import lines and higher USD/JPY.

The distance to highest Imports and lowest Export lines since 2022 began a compression throughout end 2022 and 2023 to travel and meet in the center. Import lines are dropping while Export lines are rising.

Provided the Fed fails to raise again, the Economic condition is headed for normalcy again as central banks eventually drop interest rates and money supplies travel higher as Import lines drop and exports rise. Its an extremely slow process as Imports and Exports are Indexed and released evey 6 weeks. Index prices move extraordinarily slow.

The United States releases Imports and Exports Friday and November 16. By this announcement, a comprehensive and understandable determination to Economics as Inflation and GDP will be known for all central banks.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
