AUD/USD: at a strong resistance level 30/04/2020 Next week (May 5), the next meeting of the RBA will be held. As you know, in early April, the regular meeting of the RBA was held, following which the bank management decided to keep the current monetary policy unchanged. The key interest rate of the RBA was kept at a record low level of 0.25%, and the target level of yield on 3-year government bonds was also left at 0.25%. The decision to lower the rate and determine the current target level of government bond yields was made at the previous unscheduled meeting of the RBA on March 19. RBA predicts a significant slowdown in inflation in the 2nd quarter. The guidelines for the RBA in determining priorities in its monetary policy, in addition to GDP growth, are inflation and unemployment. At the same time, economists note that inflation in Australia may approach zero, as housing prices are falling, wage growth is slowing, and unemployment is growing rapidly. Today, the AUD / USD pair is trading at a strong resistance level of 0.6560 (EMA144 on the daily chart), maintaining positive dynamics over the past few weeks. In the event of a breakdown of this resistance level, it can still grow to key resistance levels of 0.6640 (EMA200 on the daily chart), 0.6700 (EMA50 on the weekly chart). If the RBA next week reinforces incentive measures again, then the Australian dollar quotes may suffer, and the pair AUD / USD may decline. In this case, a signal for AUD / USD sales will be a breakdown of the short-term important support level of 0.6433 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart). The breakdown of the support levels of 0.6332 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 0.6272 (local lows) will confirm the resumption of the bearish trend of AUD / USD. From the news for today, in addition to the results of the meeting and the ECB press conference, it is worth paying attention to the publication at 12:30 (GMT) of data from the US labor market. It is expected that the number of new applications for unemployment benefits in the week of April 24-30 was 3.5 million (after 4.43 million in the previous week). Under current conditions (the coronavirus pandemic and a sharp economic slowdown), the reaction of market participants to the publication of this report by the US Department of Labor can be completely unpredictable. Support Levels: 0.6455, 0.6433, 0.6332, 0.6272, 0.6070, 0.5975, 0.5665, 0.5510 Resistance Levels: 0.6560, 0.6640, 0.6700 Trading Recommendations Sell Stop 0.6515. Stop-Loss 0.6575. Take-Profit 0.6455, 0.6433, 0.6332, 0.6272, 0.6070, 0.5975, 0.5665, 0.5510 Buy Stop 0.6575. Stop-Loss 0.6515.

EUR/USD: on the eve of the Fed and ECB meetings 29/04/2020 The attitude of investors towards the prospects of European assets and the euro remains restrained-negative. At the beginning of today's European session, EUR / USD is trading near 1.0840 mark, below the important short-term resistance level 1.0900 (EMA200 on the 4-hour chart). Demand for the dollar as a defensive asset still remains, while the situation with coronavirus in the world still does not have a clear improvement trend, and disappointing macro data continues to come from the US and the Eurozone. Investors do not expect from the planned two-day Fed meeting, which will end on Wednesday with the publication (at 18:00 GMT) of a decision on rates, something new or additional incentive measures. The Fed has already done a lot to soften the business environment amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Fed will be interested of the press conference, which will begin at 18:30 (GMT). Volatility could rise sharply again in the financial market if Jerome Powell makes unexpected statements about the immediate prospects for the Fed's monetary policy. At the same time, if the Fed is not expected to significantly change the current monetary policy at the moment, the ECB may greatly surprise the markets, if at the end of its meeting on Thursday it announces its intention to expand the quantitative easing program (QE), if not now, then in early June, when the next meeting of the ECB. Thus, it is logical to expect a further decline in the EUR / USD pair. Below the key resistance levels 1.1050 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 1.1010 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart) negative dynamics prevail. The breakdown of the support level 1.0840 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart) will strengthen the negative dynamics of EUR / USD. Support Levels: 1.0840, 1.0785, 1.0730, 1.0655, 1.0600, 1.0580, 1.0530 Resistance Levels: 1.0865, 1.0900, 1.0980, 1.1010, 1.1020, 1.1050, 1.1145 Trading Recommendations Sell by market. Stop-Loss 1.0920. Take-Profit 1.0785, 1.0730, 1.0655, 1.0600, 1.0580, 1.0530 Buy Stop 1.0920. Stop-Loss 1.0790.

S&P 500: on the eve of the Fed meeting 28/04/2020 Investors' enthusiasm for the start of lifting restrictions on movement due to coronavirus in a number of countries contributes to the growth of global stock indices. So, S&P 500 develops upward dynamics in the direction of key resistance level 2952.0 (ЕМА200, ЕМА144 on the daily chart, ЕМА50 on the weekly chart). At the same time, stabilization of the S&P 500 is likely near this level. Without additional incentive measures on the part of the Fed, it is unlikely to pass this level of resistance immediately. Stock indices may continue to grow, and the dollar will decline even more if during the 2-day Fed meeting, which begins today, the leaders of the US central bank decide to expand economic stimulus in response to the crisis provoked by coronavirus. The Fed decision on rates will be published on Wednesday (at 18:00 GMT). At the same time, it’s too early to relax. The peak of the coronavirus has not yet been passed. According to Johns Hopkins University, the number of cases of coronavirus in the world has already exceeded 3.04 million people. Medical experts warn that if restrictions and quarantine are removed too quickly, this could lead to another wave of the epidemic, which could make the global economy falling even deeper. If, nevertheless, a breakdown of the resistance level 2952.0 takes place, then the next goal will be the resistance level 3020.0 (the Fibonacci level 23.6% of the downward correction to the growth since February 2016 and the level of 1807.0). A breakdown of these two resistance levels 2952.0, 3020.0 will indicate a complete restoration of the long-term bullish trend of the S&P 500. In an alternative scenario, a signal for sales may be a breakdown of the support level 2769.0 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart). Below the key resistance level 2952.0, however, the long-term negative dynamics of the S&P 500 prevails. Support Levels: 2875.0, 2811.0, 2790.0, 2769.0, 2718.0, 2690.0, 2643.0, 2600.0, 2500.0, 2415.0, 2319.0, 2240.0, 2183.0 Resistance Levels: 2952.0, 3000.0, 3020.0 Trading Recommendations Sell Stop 2870.0. Stop-Loss 2970.0. Goals 2811.0, 2790.0, 2769.0, 2718.0, 2690.0, 2643.0, 2600.0, 2500.0, 2415.0, 2319.0, 2240.0, 2183.0 Buy in the market. Stop-Loss 2870.0.

USD/JPY: the pair is prone to decline 27/04/2020 During today's meeting, the Bank of Japan kept the current rate on deposits at -0.1%, and the target level of yield on 10-year bonds - around 0%. The bank also canceled the target level of purchases of government bonds (up to today it was 80 trillion yen per year) and promised to buy them in such volumes that will ensure a 10-year bond yield of about zero. “Reducing rates remains one of the easing policies”, said Haruhiko Kuroda, head of the Bank of Japan, during a press conference, habitually adding that the bank “will further soften policy if necessary”. In response to decisions of the Bank of Japan, the yen strengthened against the dollar. The Japanese Nikkei stock index also rose. Later this week, Fed and ECB meetings will be held. The Fed decision on rates will be known on Wednesday (at 18:00 GMT). In the meantime, the dollar is falling amid increased risk appetite for investors. USD / JPY remains under pressure, trading below the balance lines 109.25, 108.65, corresponding to the 200-period moving averages on the weekly and daily charts. USD / JPY is also below the important short-term resistance levels of 108.10 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 107.67 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart). The immediate goal of the decline is the support level of 106.50 (Fibonacci level 23.6% of the correction to the fall of the pair from the level of 125.65, which began in June 2015). More distant reduction targets are 104.70 (2018 lows), 102.30, 101.20 (2020 lows). In an alternative scenario and in case of breakdown of the resistance level 108.10, USD / JPY will go towards the resistance levels of 108.65, 109.25, 110.15 (Fibonacci level of 38.2%). But for now, short positions are recommended below the resistance level of 107.67. Support Levels: 107.00, 106.50, 105.00, 104.70, 102.30, 101.20 Resistance Levels: 107.67, 108.10, 108.65, 109.25, 109.70, 110.15, 110.50 Trading Scenarios Buy Stop 107.75. Stop Loss 106.90.

XAU/USD: long positions are preferred 24/04/2020 Last week, the price of gold rose to the next more than 7-year high near the mark of 1747.00 dollars per troy ounce. At the beginning of today's European session, gold is also trading near this mark, maintaining a positive trend. Investor caution is fueled by fears about the spread of coronavirus in the world. Johns Hopkins University, which makes calculations based on summaries of US authorities, the World Health Organization and other official sources, indicates that the number of cases of coronavirus infection in the world as of April 24 reached 2,709,408. Many economists expect US GDP to fall by 40% in the 2nd quarter, a drop of 45% in the Eurozone, 59% in the UK, and 35% in Japan. These data indicate that the global economy is entering a recession. In this regard, demand for the dollar and for gold, as protective assets, will remain high for a long time to come. Above the support level of 1532.00 (EMA200 on the daily chart), the long-term positive dynamics of XAU / USD remains. Above the short-term support level 1698.00 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), it is necessary to give preference to long positions. In an alternative scenario, and after the breakdown of the support level of 1698.00, XAU / USD may decline to the support levels of 1650.00 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 1587.00 (Fibonacci level 61.8% of the correction to the wave of decline from September 2011 and the mark of 1920.00). Nevertheless, in this situation and against the background of extra soft monetary policy of the world central banks, the demand for gold will remain, which speaks in favor of long positions in the XAU / USD pair. Support Levels: 1698.00, 1650.00, 1587.00, 1565.00, 1555.00, 1532.00 Resistance Levels: 1747.00, 1795.00 Trading recommendations Sell Stop 1695.00. Stop-Loss 1720.00.

EUR/USD: towards "the south" 23/04/2020 Investors' attitude towards the prospects of European assets and the euro remains restrained negative after the publication of the Eurozone business activity indexes at the beginning of today's European session. The Eurozone composite PMI (according to IHS Markit) in April reached a record low of 13.5 (with a forecast of 25.7 and values of 29.7 in March and 51.6 in February). The PMI index of business activity in the most important manufacturing sector of the Eurozone also in April was much worse than the forecast of 39.2 and the previous value of 44.5, amounting to 33.6. Values below 50 indicate a slowdown in activity. Economists predict a significant weakening of business activity in the Eurozone and in the 2nd quarter, which may be the most severe fall in the entire history of observations, due to the fact that most of the European economy is likely to continue to be in quarantine mode to curb the spread of coronavirus in the coming weeks, and maybe months, if the pandemic situation does not begin to improve. Today, investors will also pay attention to the publication of data from the US labor market, which can cause increased volatility in the quotes of the dollar and the pair EUR / USD, respectively. At 12:30 (GMT) the US Department of Labor will publish weekly data on the number of applications for unemployment benefits in the week of April 12-18. Their number is forecast to be 4.2 million (after 5.245 million applications in the previous reporting week). However, the reaction of market participants to the publication of this report by the US Department of Labor can be completely unpredictable. But so far, the dollar continues to be in demand, including because of its role as a protective asset. Thus, it is logical to expect a further decline in the EUR / USD pair, which is trading at the beginning of today's European session near 1.0760, 1.0780, in the zone below the important short-term resistance levels of 1.0925 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 1.0865 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart ), which speaks in favor of short positions.

USD/CAD: buying! 22/04/2020 The dollar is falling on Wednesday. The DXY dollar index is moving towards the opening price of yesterday's trading day at around 100.05. Commodity currencies and stock indices also, despite the drop in oil prices, are growing in Wednesday. The USD / CAD pair, which is most sensitive to movements in the oil market, is trading at the beginning of today's European session near 1.4135, below the opening price of yesterday's trading day. Nevertheless, the growth of the US dollar, which plays the role of a protective asset in the current situation, may resume at any moment, especially when another portion of negative information will be received regarding the reporting of American corporations, whose profit and capitalization had suffered significantly in recent months, as well as news regarding the ongoing coronavirus pandemics. Regarding the prospects of the Canadian dollar and the pair USD / CAD, many observers and economists are inclined to further weaken the Canadian dollar and the growth of the pair USD / CAD. Last week, according to the results of the next meeting, the Bank of Canada left its key rate unchanged (at 0.25%), but announced its intention to start purchasing debt obligations of Canadian provinces and corporate bonds. "In the near future, the leaders of the (central bank) can hardly do anything else to mitigate this blow (in the economy)", said Bank of Canada manager Stephen Poloz at a press conference after a meeting last Wednesday. According to the leaders of the Bank of Canada, in the 2nd quarter, the economic contraction could reach 15% -30%, which would be a record high. Despite today's decline, the USD / CAD pair is developing upward, trading in upward channels on the daily and weekly charts, above the important short-term support levels of 1.4000 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart) and 1.4090 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), which says in favor of long positions and growth in the direction of resistance levels of 1.4600 (Fibonacci level of 0% and highs of the pair’s growth wave from the support level of 0.9700, which began in September 2012), 1.4665 (March and 17-year highs). In an alternative scenario, and after the breakdown of support levels 1.4090, 1.4000 USD / CAD will go to support levels 1.3860, 1.3900 (EMA50 on the daily chart). Above key support levels 1.3560 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 1.3500 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart) a positive impulse prevails, making long positions preferable. Support Levels: 1.4090, 1.4000, 1.3900, 1.3860, 1.3660, 1.3560, 1.3500, 1.3450 Resistance Levels: 1.4200, 1.4272, 1.4350, 1.4600, 1.4665, 1.4700 Trading Scenarios Sell Stop 1.4080. Stop-Loss 1.4160.

AUD/USD: negative dynamics 21/04/2020 "The double blow to health care and the economy that led to the emergency we are experiencing now will cast a shadow over our economy for a long time", said Reserve Bank of Australia manager Philip Lowe on Tuesday. According to him, the country's GDP in the first half of the year will decrease by 10%, and unemployment will rise to 10% - a level that the country has not seen since the beginning of the 1990s. Philip Lowe began his speech shortly after the minutes were published from the April meeting of the RBA. As you know, in early April, the next regular meeting of the RBA was held, following which the bank management decided to keep the current monetary policy unchanged. The key interest rate of the RBA was previously lowered to a record low of 0.25%, and the target rate of return for 3-year government bonds was down to 0.25% in order to support businesses and Australian citizens amid the rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic. After the performance of Philip Lowe and amid a landslide drop in oil prices and world stock indices, the Australian dollar is weakening today along with other commodity currencies. At the same time, the US dollar continues to dominate the financial markets amid investors fleeing risk, acting as a protective asset. On Tuesday, AUD / USD broke through the important short-term support level of 0.6313 (EMA200 on the 1-hour chart, EMA50 on the daily chart) and is developing a downward trend in the direction of support level 0.6272 (EMA200 on the 4-hour chart). A breakdown of this support level will increase the likelihood of a further decline in the pair and again make short positions relevant with targets at local support levels of 0.5975, 0.5665, 0.5510. Below the resistance level of 0.6640 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), the long-term negative dynamics of AUD / USD prevails. For now, only short positions should be considered. Support Levels: 0.6272, 0.6070, 0.5975, 0.5665, 0.5510 Resistance Levels: 0.6313, 0.6460, 0.6560, 0.6640 Trading Recommendations Sell Stop 0.6260. Stop-Loss 0.6350.

GBP/USD: short positions are preferable 20/04/2020 Over the past few weeks, the pound has strengthened, while the GBP / USD pair has grown, coming close to a strong resistance level 1.2660 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart). Nevertheless, growth near this resistance level stalled, and the GBP / USD pair rolled back. Despite the extraordinary efforts of the Fed and the US government to support citizens and businesses in the context of the coronavirus pandemic, demand for the dollar, as a defensive asset, remains. Until there is more clarity regarding the ultimate impact of the pandemic on economic activity, markets are likely to remain volatile and demand for defensive assets, in particular the dollar, is high. At the same time, the British economy faced serious problems due to the coronavirus pandemic. Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said Friday that the UK economy may well fall by 35% in the 2nd quarter. According to economists, the need for more extensive stimulus measures is growing rapidly in the UK. At the same time, as soon as the restrictions are lifted and the number of coronavirus infections decreases, investors will again turn their attention to negotiations on Brexit. The pound's prospects will worsen again if the UK refuses to extend the transition. In the zone below the important resistance level 1.2690 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), the GBP / USD pair remains vulnerable. The breakdown of important short-term support levels of 1.2463 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart) and 1.2435 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart) will signal the resumption of short positions on GBP / USD. Tomorrow, investors will pay attention to the data on the number of applications for unemployment benefits in the UK, which will be released at 06:00 (GMT), as well as the report on retail sales and purchasing managers' indices (PMI), which will be published on Thursday (08: 30 GMT). Support Levels: 1.2463, 1.2435, 1.2400, 1.2200, 1.2000, 1.1915, 1.1410 Resistance Levels: 1.2525, 1.2590, 1.2690, 1.2860, 1.2965, 1.3000, 1.3070, 1.3210, 1.3310 Trading Scenarios Sell Stop 1.2425.

XAU/USD: it is worth being more careful with gold sales 17/04/2020 After the beginning of last month, the XAU / USD pair reached more than a 7-year high near the mark of 1703.00, over the next 2 weeks it fell by 250 points (more than 17%), to the mark of 1452.00. However, the strong support level of 1484.00 (Fibonacci level 50% of the correction to the wave of decline since September 2011 and the level of 1920.00 and ЕМА200 on the daily chart at that time) resisted. The price rebounded from the level of 1484.00 and again rushed up amid the aggressive stimulating actions of the Fed and the weakening dollar, as well as investors' caution regarding the spread of coronavirus in the world. In this situation, the demand for protective assets, including gold, will remain. Global stocks rose sharply on Friday, and demand for defensive assets, such as government bonds and gold, fell after Gilead Sciences Inc., an American company, reported that its experimental drug showed good results in clinical trials in patients with Covid-19. Financial market participants also ignored today's data from China, which indicated a sharp slowdown in the world's second largest economy. Despite the official Chinese macro data showing that China's GDP in the 1st quarter of 2020 fell by 6.8% (in annual terms), which was the first such strong reduction since the beginning of the quarterly statistics in 1992, during today's Asian session gold quotes declined. The publication of important macro statistics in the second half of today's trading day is not expected. Therefore, in the absence of new negative information, in particular about coronavirus, gold quotes are likely to remain under pressure. Nevertheless, the peak of the epidemic has not yet been passed, and a turning point in the negative trend of the global economy has not yet occurred. Demand for defensive assets is also likely to remain. At the beginning of today's European session, XAU / USD is traded near the short-term important support level of 1685.00 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart). Above 1630.00 mark, through which the middle of the rising channel on the daily chart also passes, it is necessary to give preference to long positions. Above the support level of 1525.00 (EMA200 on the daily chart), the long-term positive dynamics of XAU / USD remains. Support Levels: 1685.00, 1630.00, 1587.00, 1575.00, 1555.00, 1538.00, 1525.00, 1484.00 Resistance Levels: 1700.00, 1718.00, 1747.00 Trading Recommendations Sell Stop 1670.00. Stop-Loss 1720.00.

DJIA: a serious economic collapse cannot be avoided 16/04/2020 Despite growth in the past few weeks, DJIA purchases and other stock indices should be treated with extreme caution. While the DJIA is traded in the zone below the resistance levels of 26000.0 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 24170.0 (Fibonacci level of 23.6%), it is premature to talk about the restoration of its long-term bull trend. The market is dominated by pessimistic sentiment associated with coronavirus and a slowdown in the economy, which can again bring down stock indices to new local lows. From a report by the Fed (Beige Book) published on Wednesday, one can see that economic activity in the United States has stalled sharply. The decline in economic activity was sharp and sudden, which led to job losses and lower wages, the Fed said in a report. At the same time, business representatives expect a worsening situation in the short term and an increase in the number of layoffs. Today, financial market participants will wait for the publication (at 12:30 GMT) of new data from the US labor market. The number of initial applications for unemployment benefits in the week of March 29 - April 4 amounted to 6.6 million (after a record high of 6.9 million in the previous week). The suspension of work of enterprises led to mass layoffs. It is expected that the number of new (primary) applications for unemployment increased last week by another 5.105 million. Avoid a serious economic collapse, probably will not succeed. Probably, now is the right time to take profits in long positions on the stock indices, especially since the DJIA has hit strong resistance levels of 24000.0 (ЕМА200 on the weekly chart and ЕМА50 on the daily chart), 24170.0 (Fibonacci 38.2% of the correction to the wave of DJIA growth, which began in February 2016 from 15500.0). A signal for sales will also be a breakdown of short-term important support levels of 23300.0 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 23050.0 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart). Support Levels: 23300.0, 23050.0, 22520.0, 21600.0, 21240.0, 20850.0, 20400.0, 19700.0 Resistance Levels: 24000.0, 24170.0, 25200.0, 26000.0, 26220.0 Trading Scenarios Buy Stop 24200.0.

USD/CAD: long positions are preferred 15/04/2020 The US dollar resumed growth on Wednesday. Fears about a larger coronavirus epidemic in the world are contributing to a fall in global stock indices and increased demand for defensive assets, the role of which is currently played by the yen, gold and the dollar. The renewed drop in oil prices, in turn, has negative pressure on commodity currency quotes, primarily CAD. Investors do not believe in the effectiveness of the OPEC+ restrictive measures adopted last week. According to many oil market analysts, the agreement was concluded too late and agreed quotas are not enough. On Wednesday (at 14:30 GMT), the US Department of Energy will publish data on commercial oil reserves. In the week of March 28 - April 3, the figure increased by 15 million barrels. This is a record increase in the history of maintaining such statistics since 1982. It is expected that official data from the Ministry of Energy will indicate another increase in US reserves by 11.68 million barrels of oil. Investors and traders trading CAD will also today study the outcome of the meeting of the Bank of Canada, which will end with the publication (at 14:00 GMT) of the rate decision. It is likely that the Bank of Canada will also give a clear signal of its readiness to increase the volume of its large-scale asset purchase program, also known as quantitative easing (QE). In addition, on Wednesday, the Bank of Canada will present an updated forecast for the economy, which is likely to show a sharp slowdown in GDP growth and inflation, which may also indicate the regulator's tendency to strengthen incentive measures. The volatility in the USD / CAD pair, therefore, can increase sharply at 14:00, 14:30 and 15:15 (GMT), when the Bank of Canada press conference begins. On Wednesday, USD / CAD rose sharply, breaking through two important short-term resistance levels of 1.3940 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart) and 1.4000 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart). Above these levels, only long positions should be considered. A breakdown of the local resistance level of 1.4100 (February 2016 highs) will mean a return into the upward channel on the daily chart and the restoration of the bullish USD / CAD trend. Support Levels: 1.4000, 1.3940, 1.3830, 1.3660, 1.3560, 1.3500, 1.3452, 1.3380, 1.3330 Resistance Levels: 1.4100, 1.4272, 1.4350, 1.4600, 1.4665, 1.4700 Trading Scenarios Sell Stop 1.3990.

AUD/USD: current dynamics 14/04/2020 According to the Customs Administration of China, export of this country fell in March by 3.5% (in annual terms) after a decrease of 15.9% in the first two months of the year. In Q1, Chinese exports fell 11.4%, while imports fell 0.7%. Despite the fact that the positive balance of China's foreign trade increased (in March it amounted to $ 19.9 billion against a deficit of $ 7.1 billion in January-February), the data again indicate the negative impact of the coronavirus epidemic on the economy. According to the forecast of economists, in the 1st quarter of GDP will fall by 8.3% compared with the same period last year. This will be the first quarterly decline in China's GDP since the start of such statistics in 1992. China is Australia's largest trade and economic partner and purchaser of Australian commodities, in particular coal, liquefied gas, and iron ore. The gradual restoration of transport links between Australia and China (as the coronavirus infection decreases) will also positively affect the Australian economy. In the meantime, the balance of risks for the Australian dollar and other commodity currencies in the short and medium term will still be biased towards a fall against the current global economic crisis and the coronavirus pandemic. The rise in commodity currencies quotes is also constrained by the renewed decline in oil and other commodity prices. Investors are still concerned about the overabundance of supply on the world market, despite a record decline in the total oil production of the OPEC+ coalition. The production cut agreement, which will begin on May 1, will reduce global supply by 9.7 million barrels per day. Nevertheless, the magnitude of the expected growth in world reserves in April and May is still likely to be insufficient to break the negative oil trend amid a slowdown in the economy and the coronavirus pandemic. AUD / USD updated today a 5-week local maximum near 0.6432. Nevertheless, growth above this mark and the resistance level 0.6460 (Fibonacci level 23.6% of the correction to the wave of decline, which began in July 2014 from the level 0.9500) remains open to question. Below key resistance levels 0.6590 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 0.6670 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), long-term negative dynamics prevail. The return of AUD / USD to the zone below the support level of 0.6320 will cause a resumption of the downward trend and will direct the pair inward of the downward channel on the daily chart and towards the recent local minimum near the level of 0.5510 (the recent almost 18-year low and the Fibonacci level of 0%). Support Levels: 0.6320, 0.6255, 0.6070, 0.5975, 0.5665, 0.5510 Resistance Levels: 0.6460, 0.6590, 0.6670 Trading Recommendations Sell Stop 0.6370. Stop-Loss 0.6470.

S&P 500: negative dynamics may resume 13/04/2020 News from the oil market and the spread of coronavirus continue to affect the dynamics of stock indices. Asian stock indices (in Tokyo, Shanghai and Seoul) fell as a result of today's trading, while the markets of Europe, Australia and Hong Kong were closed due to Easter Monday. Probably, the US stock markets will also begin today's trading with a fall in the indices. It seems that investors are restrainedly reacting to the agreement reached last week among the largest oil producers to jointly limit oil production. Last Sunday, a deal to reduce production was still concluded with the support of US President Donald Trump, who helped to resolve the differences between Saudi Arabia and Mexico, which prevented the final agreement. Under the deal, 23 countries pledged to reduce oil supply by 9.7 million barrels per day. Countries that are members of the International Energy Agency (IEA) also intend, according to informed sources, to announce purchases of oil to replenish their national reserves, which will help remove some of its excess from the market. As a result, the agreed measures can reduce the oil supply in the market by 20 million barrels per day, the OPEC draft press release notes. Nevertheless, investors fear that a reduction in production will not be an effective measure to support oil prices in the coming weeks amid growing cases of coronavirus infection. This means that the fall in oil prices, and with them the stock indices, may resume. The S&P 500 could not overcome the resistance levels of 2800.0 (EMA50 on the daily chart), 2790.0 (Fibonacci level 38.2% of the downward correction to the increase since February 2016 and from the level 1807.0), and during today's Asian session, the S&P 500 futures fell sharply, largely leveling the growth of the previous Friday. A signal for sales may be a breakdown of support levels 2718.0 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 2690.0 (ЕМА200 on the weekly chart). Short positions are preferred. Only growth into the zone above the resistance level of 3020.0 (Fibonacci level 23.6%) will indicate the restoration of the long-term bullish trend of the S&P 500.

Brent: on the verge of a new collapse? 10/04/2020 The situation in the oil market remains the focus of attention of investors and participants in the global financial market. Participants at the OPEC+ summit agreed on Thursday a total production cut of 10 million barrels per day in May and June. In the future, the reduction will be 6 million barrels per day until April 2022, according to the OPEC press release. Nevertheless, despite the joint decision taken by Saudi Arabia and Russia to reduce production, investors are still worried that the reduce in OPEC+ production may not be enough to support prices in the coming weeks. World oil consumption in April may fall by almost 35 million barrels per day, some oil market analysts predict. “The fundamental indicators of the oil market are terrifying, they are much worse than ever before”, the OPEC Secretary General said on Thursday. According to him, the volume of free oil storage capacities in the world is more than 1 billion barrels, "world oil reserves may increase by another 1.3 billion barrels, which will lead to the full use of oil storage capacities in May". Further prospects for an agreement to jointly reduce oil production are vague, and in countries such as the US and Canada, authorities are not able to quickly reduce oil production. At the same time, a number of other leading oil producing countries have not yet given their consent to reduce production. The OPEC+ negotiations revealed contradictions between the main producers. It is possible that the oil market is on the verge of a new collapse. On Thursday, after rising in the first half of the trading day, prices again went down. ICE Brent crude futures fell 4.1% to $ 31.48 a barrel, gaining more than 10% earlier in the day. In the event of a breakdown of the support level of 29.70 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), the price of Brent crude oil may resume a downtrend and head towards recent multi-year lows near the level of $ 22.60 per barrel. Below the resistance level of 35.50 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), long-term negative dynamics prevail and short positions are preferred.
