FxGrow Fundamental Analysis – 23rd March, 2017 By FxGrow Investment Research Desk Wallowing U.S Index and Supper Yellen with Possible Scenarios Since FOMC epic decision with 0.25% hike to initial 0.75%, U.S Index has collapsed dramatically. After peeking to $102.26 Feb-highs, the Index has shed -$2.94 and anchored yesterday at $99.32, closing to 2017 lowest at $99.19. Below are the factors contributing to bearish U.S Index Foreces. 1- Markers had already priced in and traded on the fact that Fed hike was inevitable. So basically, the FOMC decision had zero contribution to the market "Buy the rumor sell the fact " fitted like the last peace of puzzle and the USD decline picture was drawn. 2- Traders were awaiting further instructions by Yellen and Co. about coming Fed hikes, but details were not listed. 3- Doubts about Trump's capacity to provide the right leadership for Republican party have been creeping into the market fueled by allegations about links of his election campaign with relation to Russian contributes and recent Trump's real estate bought by Russians as Greg Gibbs, Director at Amplifying Global FX Capital pointed yesterday. Also Trump's bombastic style including wild claims about wire taps for the white house when he addressed journalists in previous appearances. Fact : Combine these above elements, no wonder why U.S Index has tumbled and in case of further declines, it's logic. Now after we have briefed the above, the real question is, How will Yellen play along today when she appears preceded by U.S Unemployment Claims. If Yellen came out with promises about coming hikes, markets will start pricing in and trading on her words and the whole cycle ( U.S Index ) will be repeated again as Déjà vu. Recent speeches of FOMC's members Dudley and Evans with their declrelations supports the coming scenario further more. So, Yellen will try to avoid this scenario and turn into different aspect in which she will focus on how strong the U.S economy is supported by positive unemployment data, inflation rate, recent CPI, NFP, and retails sales which should boost U.S Index to a 100.46 where trend will make a reverse and turn bullish. Remark: Previous unemployment claims were 240K and forecasts for today are 241, narrowing down the gaps between the number, skepticism or confusion about comparison between recent, initial, and forecasts will be tight. Traders always tend to read the data in different way when recent is more than forecasts but less then previous, along with it, bearish and bullish volatility.

Today, U.S economic data is heavy first with Unemployment claims which in case positive, should re-balance U.S index levels with upward correction, but the main focus is on Yellen speech and traders will try to decipher words and signals out of her speech.

FxGrow Fundamental Analysis – 15th March, 2017 By FxGrow Investment Research Desk Crude Oil Plunged Over Concerns of An Increase On U.S Shale Drilling U.S has finally nailed the bulls eye and managed to plunge oil levels below $50 pb at 47.08 2017-fresh-lows. Today, oil prices managed to make an correction with a gain of $1.71 with 48.79 high, and currently oil is pushing for additional profits, lifted by lifted by a surprise draw-down in U.S. inventories and helped by figures from the International Energy Agency (IEA) suggesting OPEC cuts should push the crude market into deficit in time. "For those looking for a re-balancing of the oil market the message is that they should be patient, and hold their nerve," the IEA said in its monthly report. The IEA reported global inventories rising in January for the first time in six months despite OPEC cuts since Jan. 1, but said if OPEC stuck to limits the market should see a deficit of 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) in the first half of 2017. OPEC's compliance with output cuts remained high even though the group's monthly report indicated a rise in global crude stocks and a production jump from Saudi Arabia, Goldman Sachs said on Tuesday. Goldman said in a research note that market re balancing is still progressing, and it saw demand for oil finally exceeding supply in the second quarter aided by production cuts, despite an expected rise in U.S. shale output. However, OPEC on Tuesday reported a rise in oil inventories and raised its forecast for production in 2017 from outside the group. It said its biggest producer, Saudi Arabia, increased output in February by 263,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 10 million bpd. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is curbing its output by about 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) from Jan. 1, the first reduction in eight years. Russia and 10 other non-OPEC producers agreed to cut half as much. OPEC said in the report oil stocks in industrialized nations rose in January to stand 278 million barrels above the five-year average, of which the surplus in crude was 209 million barrels and the rest refined products. "Despite the supply adjustment, stocks have continued to rise, not just in the U.S., but also in Europe," OPEC said. "Nevertheless, prices have undoubtedly been provided a floor by the production accords." In the report, OPEC pointed to an increase in its members' compliance with the deal, according to figures from secondary sources that OPEC uses to monitor output. Supply from the 11 OPEC members with production targets under the accord - all except Libya and Nigeria - fell to 29.681 million bpd last month, according to these figures. That means OPEC has complied by more than 100 percent with its plan to lower output for those nations to 29.804 million bpd, according to a Reuters calculation. OPEC gave no compliance figure in the report. But the report revised up its estimate of oil supply from producers outside OPEC this year, as higher oil prices following the supply cut help spur a revival in U.S. shale drilling. ( Reuters ) Production outside OPEC is now expected to rise by 400,000 bpd, 160,000 more than previously thought. U.S. oil output in 2017 was revised up by 100,000 bpd. Finally with the significant down-drawn in U.S shale and forecasts for U.S inventories today is 3.3M compared with previous week 8.2M, we are looking for an ascending increase for oil price.

FxGrow Fundamental Analysis – 15th March, 2017 By FxGrow Investment Research Desk FOMC Volatility With All Possible Scenarios To Consider Fundamentals : Markets, traders, and analysts are anticipating FOMC Rate Decision today with high speculations for a hike, but the question is, will Yellen deliver? FOMC decision will depend on three elements. First element is Employment Rate and last NFP ( February ) result released on Friday with 239K while forecasts 196K, increases the odds for the hike. Also, U.S economy added more jobs than expected whilst the unemployment rate remains near record lows of 4.7%, below policymakers' minimum target. The second element is inflation, with personal consumption expenditure PCE index score last January 1.9% yearly basis, and PCE excluding food and energy at 1.7%, inflation in U.S has ceiled the 2%, lowest since five years. The third undetermined element is Consumer Price Index ( CPI ), which will be released today at 12:30 PM GMT, and most indicators and analysts support a positive outcome. Now we have combined these three elements together, the Fed Rate is almost inevitable with high forecast at 25bps. The question that rings in head right now is, how ill the market react? How far will US Index climb ? Where will USD rival bottom ? Let's draw the following scenarios and hopefully the image will look brighter. Scenario one: Forecasts for the hike today is 0.25%, and markets have placed positions and traded on this fact, but does it mean the Fed increase is 25bps ? What if Yellen caught the market off guard and announced a 0.5% hike for current 0.75%? ?Markets would result with higher volatility and U.S index will ride a roller coaster with an incline destination and USD rivals for a decline one. Which means that markets are already priced in for 0.25% hike. Scenario two: Let's go back in memory for recent market behavior and history. Previous US economic data were positive but we witnessed a negative reaction for US Index levels. Positive NFP and Unemployment Rate, yet the greenback was shortened, which indicates the markets were already priced in for positive outcome, and traders are following " buy the rumor, sell the fact" move " . Scenario three: It is never about a yes or no for a rate hike. The most important question, or the better question to ask is how many Fed hikes is there ? U.S Feds hinted for three hikes, but will they deliver ? Now the only concern for Yellen and Co. is how to avoid the case of negative reaction for U.S Dollar with a positive decision. The answer dwells in Yellen speech or FOMC statement and how will they approach other possible hikes. US Fed promised two to three hikes in 2017, with first coming today ( March ), the next should be in summer and the last by end of 2017. If U.S Fed want to avoid recent market behavior and dodge a collapse for U.S Dollar, then eyes and ears will be centered on FOMC statement, and a hint of possible hikes with a tiny detail on when for example this summer, this will back up and support U.S Index from rolling as market will have a target to look at and market will make new bets for market anticipation. The opposite for scenario three, including Yellen previous psychological history leaving details vague and unclear signs of additional hikes will result in collapsing U.S Dollar. Conclusion: The rate 0.25% is already established and its beyond skepticism. It's not about the hike or not, its about how many hikes and when. Market will not focus on the decision of U.S Fed as much traders will concentrate on FOMC statement. The only solution to back up U.S Dollar is that Yellen will have to halt her ambiguous speech and FOMC must have a clear message and hints about upcoming Fed hikes. Remark: Look forward for U.S Data today CPI and Retails sales both at 12:30 PM GMT which to be considered vital for FOMC meeting tonight at 6:00 PM GMT.

FxGrow Fundamental Analysis – 10th March, 2017 By FxGrow Investment Research Desk NFP Today Is Vital for FOMC's Decision Next Week Markets are poised ahead of US Non-farm Payrolls and what might come out of it but what makes it vital today is the FOMC meeting next week and its coloration with NFP data today. A positive NFP with strong input would increase the odds of Fed March hike and a negative NFP will decrease next week hike chances. But the main question is, how far will US Fed bare strong US Index levels ? If NFP is positive today, we expect US Index to break above 102.24 yesterday's high, with target at 103. A Fed rate hike will also peek US Index levels also above 104 level with additional bullish waves in the coming weeks as a reasonable market consequences. If NFP is negative today, US Index will shift to bearish forces with target at 100.65 and extension of further selloffs and wash towards 99.90 level. Chances of March hike will fade gradually but markets are placing 85% odds for a hike next week and anything opposite to that might create a further congestion and US Index will suffocate at 97 level. The main key in order to know how US Fed will play along despite NFP result today, are the levels or the range that the US Fed are seeking for US Index. Analysts from Wells Fargo, expected a gain in non-farm payroll of 210K in February, above the market consensus of 190K. Wednesday's ADP NFP scored strongly 298K which increases NFP odds today being positive. Previous comments of FOMC's members, supported by Yellen and Trump speeches boosted US Index to enter the 100 to 102 level at which we think is the target that US Fed are looking for. A Positive NFP today will increase US Index levels and unchanged rates by FOMC will make a correction back to current US index levels which supports the odds of an unchanged Fed rates next week although the odds are 85% for an increase.

FxGrow Fundamental Analysis – 09th March, 2017 By FxGrow Investment Research Desk Gold Finally Submit to strong US Dollar, Awaiting US Jobless Claims Gold abandoned the bullish levels after a long struggle with US Dollar with efforts to withhold last two weeks' strong gains. Recent bullish waves despite strong US Dollar performance was justified to US uncertainties and political rift lead by Trump and his previous decisions. Last week, FOMC's hints about March Fed hike increased the odds up to 85%, and Trump patriotic speech, both assisted to create the current stability and things are in Accord. Add to that, US strong data through this week boosted US Dollar levels and US Index peeked to 102.24 today, highest levels since 12th Jan. As a result, Gold shed -$60.62 since last week and had to give up the title being a sacred haven metal. XAUUSD will undergo a further test today as US released Jobless Claims but the main and vital data will be tomorrow with NFP report.

The Eurozone is the first of the major economies to release inflation data for February, and it rose to 2.0%y/y, now essentially on target (The ECB aims at inflation rates of below, but close to, 2% over the medium term). Mr. Draghi will hold a press conference shortly after rates decision where he will discuss current EU monetary policy and global economy. Despite the need for a continued accommodative monetary policy stance, the ECB is facing some challenges related to its QE purchases. Partly as a result of the ECB’s purchase patterns there has been a fall in short-end German yields at the beginning of this year, where the ECB has allowed itself to buy bonds yielding below the deposit rate. Regarding the future ECB QE purchases, the latest communication from the ECB shows it is very reluctant to allow a change to the 33% issue/issuer limit due to both legal and price formation issues.

FxGrow Fundamental Analysis – 08th March, 2017 By FxGrow Investment Research Desk Crude Oil levels Plunges over Houston Energy Meeting, Eyes on US inventories Fundamentals: Crude oil levels collapsed on Tuesday with a loss $1.08 per barrel -0.2% over fears of Houston energy meeting and outcome possibilities. Shell, the Royal Dutch company nailed a contract to ramp North American shale output earlier than planned and to lock in quick returns from what has become one of its most profitable businesses, the head of Shell's unconventional energy business said. The Anglo-Dutch company plans to make shale oil and gas in the United States, Canada and Argentina a key engine of growth in the next decade, targeting output of around 500,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOE/D), Greg Guidry told Reuters in an interview. Saudi Oil Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Tuesday that oil market fundamentals were improving as an agreement to curb supply by OPEC and non-OPEC producers took effect. Mr. Falih added that OPEC would not let rival producers take advantage of the reductions to underwrite their own production investment. OPEC cartel is expected to meet again in May, where OPEC might extend their production curbs. "We should not get ahead of the market," Falih told a group of oil industry executives at the CERA Week energy conference. Overall, he said the production reductions have had their intended effect, citing greater price arbitrage between east and west oil markets that "indicate the cuts are biting." He said there are signs of "green shoots" of oil investment in the United States although he cautioned that a fast response from the U.S. shale industry could be discouraging for needed investment in multiyear, long-term projects in other oil supply sources outside of shale. Saudi Arabia does not want OPEC to intervene in the oil market to address long-term structural shifts, but would support measures to address "short-term aberrations." (Reuters). China's crude oil imports rose to the second-highest level on record in February, as strong demand from independent "teapot" refiners continues to drive growth. February's imports came in at 31.78 million tons or 8.286 million barrels per day, up 3.5 percent on a year ago, Chinese customs data showed on Wednesday. Daily shipments were only behind December's record 8.57 million bpd, but up on 8.01 million bpd in January. Conclusion: The rift continues between OPEC and US with opposed interest. OPEC benefits from high levels of oil prices since it’s their main source of income. US on the other hand, with -4.2B deficit in trade balance yesterday, and Trump's industrial and infrastructure as his main concerns, will seek excessive efforts to tackle OPEC objectives. Crude oil levels will hang between $51 and $56 until OPEC's next meeting in May with possibilities for further reductions and compliance. Technical: Resistance levels: R1 52.92, R2 53.46, R3 54.00 Support levels: S1 52.56, S2 52.12, S3 51.64 Remark: Look forward for US crude inventories today at 3:30 PM GMT which will bring new levels for Crude Oil prices.

FxGrow Fundamental Analysis – 07th March, 2017 By FxGrow Investment Research Desk AUD/USD Surges Over RBA's Unchanged Rates Decision AUD/USD rallied +57 pips in early trading sessions and clocked a high 0.7632 over RBA rates decision, leaving interest rate unchanged at 1.5% which was highly anticipated by markets, with the policy statement keeping a neutral bias. Governor Lowe crossed wires with a press conference shortly after RBA's rate decisions with the following headlines: 1- At its meeting today, the Board decided to leave the cash rate unchanged at 1.50 per cent. 2- Conditions in the global economy have continued to improve over recent months. In China, growth is being supported by higher spending on infrastructure and property construction. The improvement in the global economy has contributed to higher commodity prices, which are providing a significant boost to Australia's national income. 3- Headline inflation rates have moved higher in most countries, partly reflecting the higher commodity prices. Interest rates are expected to increase further in the United States and there is no longer an expectation of additional monetary easing in other major economies. Financial markets have been functioning effectively and stock markets have mostly risen. 3- The Australian economy is continuing its transition following the end of the mining investment boom, expanding by around 2½ per cent in 2016. Exports have risen strongly and non-mining business investment has risen over the past year. 4- Labor market indicators continue to be mixed and there is considerable variation in employment outcomes across the country. 5- Inflation remains quite low. With growth in labor costs remaining subdued, underlying inflation is likely to stay low for some time. 6- Taking account of the available information the Board judged that holding the stance of policy unchanged at this meeting would be consistent with sustainable growth in the economy and achieving the inflation target over time. Fundamentals : 1- US Trade Balance today at 1:30 PM GMT. 2- CNY - Chinese Trade Balance tomorrow tentative - after 12:00 AM GMT Technical : Trend : Bullish sideways Daily Pp 0.7586 Resistance levels : R1 0.7642, R2 0.7668, R3 0.7713 Support levels : S1 0.7572, S2 0.7533, S3 0.7489 Remark : AUD/USD currently bullish but keep an eye on US index which is currently strong.
