    Brent: prices fell sharply after rising earlier 10/01/2020 Current Dynamics Dollar growth continues on Friday. The DXY dollar index, which reflects the value of the dollar against a basket of 6 major currencies, rose another 0.18% to 97.25, 10 points above today's open price. Most likely, the dollar will also end this week on a positive note, if data from the US labor market will meet the expectations of market participants. The publication of this data is scheduled for 13:30 (GMT), and economists expect that in December the number of jobs outside the agricultural sector of the American economy increased by +160,000, while unemployment remained at 3.5%, as In November. A report by the ADP Research Institute on the change in the number of employees published on Wednesday indicated an increase in jobs in the private sector of the US economy by 202,000 in December (the forecast was +160,000). November ADP data on jobs were revised up to +124,000, while earlier it was reported an increase of 67,000. These are very positive data indicating the stability of the US labor market. Meanwhile, oil prices continue to decline on Friday, both against the backdrop of a stronger dollar and after statements by US President Donald Trump, which eased investors' concerns about escalating the conflict in the Middle East region. As the degree of tension in the Middle East declined, the price also began to decline. At the beginning of today's European session, Brent crude is trading near the short-term support level of 66.00 (EMA200 on the 4-hour chart). Nevertheless, above the support levels of 64.30 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 63.90 (Fibonacci retracement 38.2% of downward correction in the wave of price growth from the level near the level of 27.10 to the October 2018 highs near the level of $86.60 per barrel), long-term positive dynamics Brent oil prices remain. Therefore, a decrease to the support level of 66.00 provides a good opportunity to build up long positions. In the case of a breakthrough of the local maximum of 69.70, recorded in September after the drone attack on large oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, the next growth target will be the resistance level of 72.60 (Fibonacci level of 23.6% and the upper border of the ascending channel on the weekly chart). In an alternative scenario, the signal for resumption of sales will be a breakdown of support levels 66.00, 65.10 (EMA50 on the daily chart) with targets at support levels 64.30, 63.90, 63.00. The breakdown of these support levels will mean breaking the bull trend and the resumption of the global downtrend with support at 60.40 (May lows), 58.50, 56.90 (Fibonacci level of 50%). From the news today regarding oil prices, it is worth paying attention to the publication (at 18:00 GMT) of the weekly report of the American oilfield services company Baker Hughes. According to the latest report, the number of active drilling rigs in the United States grew over the past month by just 2 rigs, to 670 units from 668 units 4 weeks ago. However, this is much less than the number of active drilling rigs at the beginning of June (800 units) and at the beginning of September (742 units). If a Baker Hughes report indicates a decline in the number of active rigs, it could also support oil prices. Support Levels: 66.00, 65.10, 64.30, 63.90, 63.00, 61.00, 60.40, 58.50, 56.90 Resistance Levels: 66.65, 67.50, 69.70, 71.95, 72.60 Trading Recommendations Sell Stop 64.90. Stop-Loss 66.70. Take-Profit 64.30, 63.90, 63.00, 61.00, 60.40, 58.50, 56.90 Buy Stop 66.70. Stop-Loss 64.90.

    USD/CAD: US dollar resumed growth 09/01/2020 Current Dynamics Against the backdrop of the weakening US dollar, the USD / CAD pair broke through the key support level 1.3205 (EMA144 and EMA200 on the daily chart) last month and reached 1.2957 in early January. Further decline and breakdown of the long-term support level of 1.2930 (EMA200 on the weekly chart) would mean breaking the bullish trend of USD / CAD. Nevertheless, there was no further decrease in USD / CAD and today the pair has been growing for the third day in a row. The pair’s growth is facilitated by both the strengthening of the US dollar and the decline in oil prices that followed after their significant increase on the eve amid a sharp aggravation of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. As you know, on Tuesday night, Iran launched a missile attack on US military bases in Iraq. However, as follows from the statements of the White House, none of the US military was injured. In turn, the Iranian Foreign Minister tweeted that the missile attacks were not intended to escalate the conflict or start a war. The words of US President Trump that "everything is fine", and Iran, it seems, does not intend to continue the conflict, reassured investors, which helped to renew the rally of US stock indices and the USD. USD / CAD broke through the short-term resistance level 1.3027 on Wednesday (EMA200 on the 1-hour chart), which was the first signal to resume long positions, and is trading on Thursday near the local resistance level 1.3050 (October lows). If the growth continues, USD / CAD will go to the resistance level 1.3120 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), and in case of breakdown, the growth will accelerate to the key resistance level 1.3205. The December report of the US Ministry of Labor will be published on Friday. Economists expect jobs to reach +160,000, while unemployment remains at 3.5%, as in November. Also, on Friday at the same time (at 13:30 GMT) will be published data from the Canadian labor market. In December, Canada's unemployment rate is expected to be 5.8%. This is slightly better than the November figure, but still worse than the average for 2019 (about 5.6% - 5.7%). Growth in unemployment is a negative factor for the national currency. If the data turn out to be worse than the forecast of 5.8%, then the Canadian dollar will drop sharply, and the growth of USD / CAD will continue. In an alternative scenario and after the breakdown of the short-term support level 1.3027 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), short positions will again become relevant. Nevertheless, in this period of time (13:30 GMT) on Friday, a sharp increase in volatility in the foreign exchange market is expected, and above all - in the pair USD / CAD. From the news today it is worth paying attention to the speech at 19:00 (GMT) of the head of the Bank of Canada Stephen Poloz. If in his speech today he touches on the topic of monetary policy, the volatility of Canadian dollar quotes will increase. If Stephen Poloz speaks out in favor of the need for a softer monetary policy of the Bank of Canada, then the weakening of the Canadian dollar and the growth of USD / CAD will accelerate. Support Levels: 1.3027, 1.3000, 1.2960, 1.2930 Resistance Levels: 1.3050, 1.3120, 1.3205, 1.3300, 1.3325, 1.3345, 1.3380, 1.3400, 1.3452 Trading Scenarios Sell Stop 1.3025. Stop-Loss 1.3065.

    DJIA: investor optimism pushes indices up 12/30/2019 Positive dynamics prevail in the global stock market. The main factor contributing to the growth of indices in recent days is both the traditional New Year rally and the expectation of the signing of the first part of the US-China trade agreement in January. If this happens, it should give the world economy an impetus for growth. Nevertheless, there remains a lot of ambiguity regarding the future prospects of trade relations between the two countries, whose total GDP is about 35% of total world GDP. The details of the agreement were not disclosed, so it remains unclear what will happen if the parties fail to resolve the remaining contradictions. Investors are also mostly optimistic about the prospects for the stock market in 2020. Expectations of further growth in stock indices speak in favor of DJIA purchases. In an alternative scenario, after the breakdown of the short-term support level 28450.0 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart) and in case of further decrease in DJIA, the targets will be the support levels 28030.0 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 27100.0 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 26850.0 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart). The breakdown of support level 26800.0 may provoke a further decline to support levels 25600.0 (Fibonacci level 23.6% of the correction to the DJIA growth wave, which began in February 2016 from 15500.0), 25270.0 (August lows), 24600.0 (June 2019 lows). Stronger decline in the DJIA will require convincing evidence of a slowdown in the US economy and a worsening trade conflict between the US and China. In the meantime, there is the long-term positive dynamics of US stock indices and the DJIA index, including. Support Levels: 28450.0, 28030.0, 27400.0, 27100.0, 26850.0, 25600.0 Resistance Levels: 28730.0 Trading Scenarios Buy Stop 28750.0. Stop-Loss 28430.0. Take-Profit 29000.0, 30000.0 Sell Stop 28430.0.

    Brent: Strong positive momentum 12/27/2019 A strong positive momentum of a fundamental nature, observed on world stock markets and the oil market, is pushing prices to new 3-month highs. The price broke through at the beginning of the month the key resistance level 63.90 (EMA200 on the daily chart and the Fibonacci level 38.2% of downward correction in the wave of price growth from the level near the level of 27.10 to the highs of October 2018 near the level of 86.60) and continues to develop upward trend in side of the local maximum 69.70. In the case of a breakthrough of this resistance level, the next growth target will be the resistance level 72.60 (Fibonacci level of 23.6% and the upper border of the ascending channel on the weekly chart). The positive mood of investors is fueled by hopes that the US and China will reach an agreement of the "first phase" in January. Earlier this month, OPEC and other oil producing countries, including Russia, agreed on an additional cumulative cap on production of 500,000 barrels per day in order to reduce global supply. Following the results of three meetings, the Fed lowered interest rates this year, and in October the range of key interest rates was 1.5% - 1.75%. At the same time, in December, Fed leaders said that monetary policy was likely to remain unchanged in the next 2020. The stock market euphoria, despite the political instability in some regions of the world, also contributes to the growth of oil prices. Thus, a favorable external background is forming for the possibility of further growth in the oil market. In an alternative scenario, the signal for the resumption of sales will be a breakdown of the support level of 66.40 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart). The breakdown of the support levels 63.90, 63.00 will mean the resumption of the global downtrend with support at the levels of 60.40 (May lows), 58.50, 56.90 (Fibonacci level of 50%). From the news today, we are waiting for the publication by the US Department of Energy at 15:30 (GMT) weekly data on stocks of oil and petroleum products. According to the forecast, it is expected that they decreased by 1.724 million barrels last week. When confirmed, oil is likely to continue to rise in price. Also, today (at 18:00 GMT) the next weekly report of the American oilfield services company Baker Hughes will be published. If the report indicates a decrease in the number of active drilling rigs, this may give an additional positive impetus to prices. Support Levels: 67.50, 66.40, 64.50, 63.90, 63.00, 61.00, 60.40, 58.50, 56.90 Resistance Levels: 68.00, 69.70, 72.60 Trading Recommendations Sell Stop 67.40. Stop-Loss 68.20.

    DJIA: rally may continue in the new year 12/26/2019 The US stock market is dominated by positive dynamics. US stock indexes end the year with the best results in the last 6 years. The S&P 500 gained almost 29% this year, DJIA - 24%, moreover, shares rose in almost all sectors. Investors are also mostly optimistic about the prospects for the stock market in 2020. In Europe and some other countries continue to celebrate Christmas. Trading volumes are likely to recover after January 6th. Meanwhile, the uncertainty about the details of the deal between the US and China is fueling some uncertainty among investors. At the same time, the exact form of future trade relations between the UK and the EU is unclear. In addition, the risk of another Scottish independence referendum is growing. Expectations of further growth in stock indices speak in favor of DJIA purchases. In an alternative scenario, after the breakdown of the short-term support level of 28330.0 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart) and in case of resumption of decline, the targets will be support levels 27950.0 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 27100.0 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 26800.0 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart ) The breakdown of support level 26800.0 may provoke a further decrease to support levels 25500.0 (Fibonacci level of 23.6% of the correction to the DJIA growth wave, which began in February 2016 from the level of 15500.0), 25270.0 (August lows), 24600.0 (June 2019 lows).

    S&P500: positive dynamics continues 12/24/2019 Major US stock indices Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 finished trading last Monday at historic highs. After futures for US stock indexes continued on Monday the recent series of growth, today they are trading in a very narrow range: S&P 500 - near 3225.0, Nasdaq100 - near 8702.0, DJIA - near 28570.0. The S&P500 index maintains long-term positive dynamics, trading above key support levels of 2978.0 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 3018.0 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart and Fibonacci level 23.6% of the correction to the growth since December 2018 and 2335.0). Probably, after the breakdown of the local resistance level 3229.0, the S&P500 will continue to grow. In an alternative scenario and after the breakdown of support levels 3193.0 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), 3135.0 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart) S&P500 will go to support levels 3018.0, 2978.0. Long positions are preferred so far. Trading volume on European and American stock markets today will be small. Most exchanges are either closed or shut down early on the eve of the holiday. Market volatility will return on December 26 - 27, and will fully recover after the New Year holidays.

    XAU/USD: Current Dynamics 12/23/2019 After the publication of data on US GDP last Friday, according to which in the 3rd quarter annual growth amounted to 2.1%, and data on personal income / expenses of the Americans, the dollar strengthened and gold futures declined. According to the US Department of Commerce, personal consumption expenditures (household expenses) in November increased by 0.4% compared with October. At the same time, personal income of Americans over this period increased by 0.5%. Expenditure on durable goods increased by 1%. Rising wages and lowering unemployment to 50-year lows stimulated consumer spending this year, which in turn supported the US economy. Gold prices are under pressure from the stabilization of the US economy and amid progress in the course of trade negotiations between Washington and Beijing. And yet, the dollar still can not develop upward momentum at a faster pace, and at the beginning of the new week, the DXY dollar index is falling. Washington and Beijing are expected to sign an interim trade agreement (of “first phase”) in January, but the uncertainty about the details of the deal adds uncertainty to the ranks of buyers of risky assets and supports safe haven assets. U.S. political uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump’s impeachment, which was announced by the House of Representatives on Wednesday, also boosts gold prices at the start of a new Christmas week. The pair XAU / USD is trading at the beginning of the European session near the mark of 1484.00, which corresponds to 6-week highs. Above the support levels of 1450.00, 1428.00 (EMA200 on the daily chart), the long-term positive dynamics of XAU / USD remains. A break into the zone above the resistance level of 1484.00 (Fibonacci level 50% of the correction to the wave of decline from September 2011 and the mark of 1920.00) will resume the bullish trend XAU / USD. In an alternative scenario, the breakdown of the short-term support level of 1475.00 (EMA200 on the 1-hour chart, EMA50 on the daily chart) will be a signal for XAU / USD sales with targets at the support levels of 1450.00, 1428.00. From the news for today it is worth paying attention to the publication at 13:30 (GMT) of a block of macro data from the United States, including data on orders for capital goods for November. The indicator reflects the value of orders received by manufacturers of capital goods, implying large investments. Forecast for November: -0.3%. The dollar is likely to decline after the publication of data. Data better than forecast will strengthen the dollar in the short term.

    USD/CAD: so far, correction after the fall 12/20/2019 After a many-day decline, the USD / CAD pair entered the correctional phase on Thursday. The weakening Canadian dollar was contributed by the disappointing macro statistics on wholesale trade and supplies to the manufacturing sector of the Canadian economy. According to the National Bureau of Statistics Canada, the volume of wholesale trade in October fell sharply (-1.1%). The data for the previous month were revised downward, to +0.8% versus +1.0% earlier. At the same time, supplies in the manufacturing sector in October fell for the second month in a row (-0.7%) after falling in September by -0.2%. The Canadian dollar reacted negatively to the publication of the data. The Canadian dollar still maintains a positive trend against the US dollar. However, a number of negative macro data from Canada this week could stop the fall of the USD / CAD pair. If positive news about the state of the US economy comes from the US, then the growth of the USD and the pair USD / CAD will resume. Today at 13:30 (GMT) Statistics Canada will publish the retail sales index, which is often considered an indicator of consumer confidence and reflects the state of the retail sector in the near future. Index growth is usually a positive factor for CAD; a decrease in the indicator will negatively affect CAD. If data for October is weaker than the previous value (-0.1%) or forecast (+0.5%), then CAD may drop sharply, given the release of weak macro data on wholesale trade and supplies in Canada’s manufacturing sector earlier this week. Thus, at 13:30 (GMT) an increase in volatility is expected in the USD and CAD quotes, and, accordingly, in the USD / CAD pair. In the last 2 days, the USD / CAD pair has been rising after a strong fall before. Breakdown of the short-term resistance level 1.3165 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart) will be a signal for the resumption of long positions. Above the key resistance level of 1.3230 (EMA144 and EMA200 on the daily chart), long positions will again be preferred. In an alternative scenario and in case of breakdown of the support levels 1.3140 and 1.3345, and the lower border of the upward channel on the daily chart, passing near the mark 1.3100, and of further decline, USD / CAD will go to support levels 1.3042, 1.3015, corresponding to annual minimums. A decline into the zone below the support level of 1.2920 (EMA200 on the weekly chart) will indicate a break in the bullish trend of USD / CAD. Support Levels: 1.3100, 1.3060, 1.3042, 1.3015 Resistance Levels: 1.3140, 1.3165, 1.3205, 1.3230, 1.3300, 1.3325, 1.3345, 1.3380, 1.3400, 1.3435 Trading Scenarios Sell Stop 1.3115. Stop-Loss 1.3150.

    GBP/USD: Bank of England rate decision 12/19/2019 Today at 12:00 (GMT) the decision of the Bank of England on the interest rate will be published. Due to the importance of today's event, a sharp increase in volatility is expected at this time in the foreign exchange market, especially in pound quotes. GBP / USD broke through an important support level of 1.3210 on Tuesday (Fibonacci level 23.6% of the correction to the GBP / USD decline in a wave that began in July 2014 near the level of 1.7200) and a short-term support level of EMA200 on the 1-hour chart. In case of further decline, the immediate goal will be the support level of 1.3010 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart). The Bank of England is expected to maintain its monetary policy today unchanged. However, it may signal the possibility of lowering the key interest rate in the coming months. Inflation remains weak, well below the target level of 2%, and the fiscal stimulus measures promised by the UK government aimed at ensuring robust economic growth are unlikely to be implemented soon. Media reports that conservatives rule out a transitional extension for Brexit could hurt the recovery of investment after the election and increase the risk of a tough Brexit. In addition, the threat of a new referendum on Scottish independence is growing. Given all these negative factors, the Bank of England may be forced to soften its monetary policy in the coming months. The return of GBP / USD to the zone below the support level of 1.2750 (EMA200 on the daily chart) will indicate the resumption of the bearish trend. In case of breakdown of the support level of 1.2750, the aim of lowering for the next 3-4 months will be the support level of 1.2000 (2017 lows and the Fibonacci level of 0%). A signal for the implementation of an alternative scenario will be a growth into the zone above the resistance level of 1.3210. Support Levels: 1.3100, 1.3010, 1.2750 Resistance Levels: 1.3172, 1.3210, 1.3340, 1.3510, 1.3960, 1.4350, 1.4580, 1.5080, 1.5190 Trading Scenarios Sell Stop 1.3190. Stop-Loss 1.3260.

    NZD/USD: Current Dynamics 12/18/2019 After the release of weak data from a dairy auction organized by the New Zealand company Fonterra (a specialized trading platform GlobalDairyTrade - GDT) and amid the strengthening of the US dollar, the NZD / USD pair fell. The Dairy Price Index prepared by Global Dairy Trade came out last Tuesday with a value of -5.1% (against the forecast of +0.5% and after a decrease of -0.5% in the previous 2-week period). News of the achievement of an intermediate trade deal between the US and China contributed to the growth of world stock indices and commodity quotes at the beginning of the week. US economic data has also recently eased concerns about a sharp slowdown in global economic growth. At the same time, many investors in the commodity market are cautious because of the abundant supply and continuing risks of an unsuccessful outcome of the upcoming trade negotiations between the US and China. All details of the interim agreement, which has not yet been officially translated and has not been signed, are not yet clear. Some participants in the foreign exchange market consider the current growth in commodity currencies excessive in the framework of the global downtrend, and the closure of long positions may strengthen the rally in the coming days. In particular, this applies to the New Zealand dollar. So far, the NZD / USD pair remains positive dynamics, trading in the upward channel on the daily chart above the important support level of 0.6519 (EMA200 on the daily chart). A breakdown of the local resistance level of 0.6575 can be a signal for continued purchases and an increase in NZD / USD towards the local maximum of 0.6635 and the upper border of the ascending channel on the daily chart and further to the key resistance levels of 0.6770 (EMA144 on the weekly chart), 0.6865 (EMA200 on the weekly chart and Fibonacci level 23.6% of the correction in the global wave of pair decline from the level of 0.8820). An alternative scenario will be associated with the breakdown of the support level of 0.6565 (EMA200 on the 1-hour chart, EMA50 and the bottom line of the ascending channel on the 4-hour chart), which can trigger a decline to the support level of 0.6519 and further to the support level of 0.6485 (EMA200 on the 4-hour chart, ЕМА144 and the bottom line of the ascending channel on the daily chart). A further decline will indicate a resumption of the NZD / USD global downtrend. Support Levels: 0.6565, 0.6555, 0.6519, 0.6485, 0.6440, 0.6400, 0.6322, 0.6260, 0.6200, 0.6100 Resistance Levels: 0.6575, 0.6635, 0.6770, 0.6865 Trading Scenarios Sell Stop 0.6550. Stop-Loss 0.6585.

    AUD/USD: RBA is ready to lower rates 12/17/2019 The AUD / USD pair broke on Tuesday an important short-term support level of 0.6860 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart) and is developing a downward movement, returning to the global down-trend. Following a meeting in December, the RBA left the key interest rate unchanged, at a record low of 0.75%. Concerns about a sharp slowdown in global economic growth have become one of the main reasons that prompted the RBA to lower interest rates this year. According to the text of the minutes of the meeting of the RBA held on December 3, which were published earlier on Tuesday, the bank's management in February intends to reassess the prospects of monetary policy. RBA Governor Philip Lowe spoke about the "emerging turning point" in the economy. However, the published RBA protocols indicated that the bank was ready to lower rates again if necessary. Weak GDP growth in the 3rd and 4th quarters, remaining low personal consumption and weak retail sales reinforce expectations of a further reduction in interest rates at a meeting of the Reserve Bank of Australia on February 4. This will put downward pressure on AUD. AUD / USD is trading below important resistance levels 0.6912 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 0.6869 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart). In the event of a breakdown of the local support level of 0.6802 and a further decrease, the targets will be the support levels of 0.6670 (2019 lows), 0.6600. Below resistance level 0.6860, short positions are preferred. Support Levels: 0.6833, 0.6802, 0.6745, 0.6700, 0.6670, 0.6600, 0.6300 Resistance Levels: 0.6860, 0.6869, 0.6912, 0.6938 Trading Recommendations Sell by market. Stop-Loss 0.6870.

    GBP/USD: Conservatives won 12/16/2019 Last Friday, when it became known about the victory of the Conservative Party in parliamentary elections in the UK, the country's Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised to spend billions of pounds and improve the situation in the economy. However, quickly and seriously improve the situation after 3 years of disagreements regarding Brexit, it is unlikely to succeed. Many economists believe the UK economy in 2019 is likely to show the weakest growth since the peak of the financial crisis in 2008. GDP growth is likely to be limited to 1.3%. This is the slowest pace since 2009 compared to 1.4% in 2018. In 2020, it is expected that GDP growth will also remain rather sluggish, no higher than 1.5%, and inflation will remain below the target level of 2%. This week there will be data on inflation, the labor market, GDP, the current account of the balance of payments. However, the focus of investors will be focused on the meeting of the Bank of England on monetary policy, which will be held on Thursday. It is likely that the Bank of England at this meeting, the last in 2019, will maintain its current monetary policy unchanged, but may signal a tendency towards a softer policy. If the Bank of England does indicate the likelihood of a rate cut in 2020, then the pound may again come under pressure, now from a softer monetary policy. As you know, when the interest rate is lowered, the national currency is usually under pressure due to its relative cheapening against other currencies, in particular the dollar. Today at 17:00 (GMT) the Bank of England will present the reports of the Financial Policy Committee with a detailed analysis of the country's financial system. The harsh tone of the report regarding the prospects for the financial sector is a positive factor for GBP. Conversely, the soft tone of the Bank's Committee report demonstrates concern about financial stability, which will negatively affect GBP. Over the past 4 months, the GBP / USD pair has grown by about 10%, and reached a key resistance level of 1.3340 (EMA200 on the weekly chart). Despite a strong positive impulse, it will not be easy for the GBP / USD pair to overcome two resistance levels (1.3340 and 1.3430). The most likely rebound in the zone of these resistance levels and a return to the global downtrend. The first signal for the resumption of GBP / USD sales will be a breakdown of the support level 1.3210 (Fibonacci level 23.6% of the correction to reduce the GBP / USD pair in a wave that began in July 2014 near the level of 1.7200). A short-term level of EMA200 support on the 1-hour chart also passes through this mark. The return of GBP / USD to the zone below the support level of 1.2745 (EMA200 on the daily chart) will indicate the resumption of the bearish trend. An alternative scenario for continued growth will be associated with the breakdown of the local resistance level 1.3510 with targets at resistance levels 1.3960 (Fibonacci level 38.2%), 1.4350 (highs in January and April 2018), 1.4580 (Fibonacci level 50%).

    S&P500: positive dynamics of indices 12/13/2019 In the financial markets, optimistic moods are reviving again, associated with increased expectations of a preliminary trade agreement between the US and China. The White House suggested lowering duties on Chinese goods worth about $ 360 billion, as well as repealing the introduction of duties on goods worth $ 156 billion, which was scheduled for Sunday. If China meets this proposal, then, in accordance with the agreement, China must commit itself in 2020 to buy US agricultural products by $50 billion, as well as energy and other goods. As expected, on Friday, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Chinese Ambassador Tsui Tiankai will sign a draft agreement. “We are very close to a big trade agreement with China. They want this, and so do we”, Trump tweeted. This news and the high likelihood of a halt in the US-China trade war, as well as the Fed's announcement of its intention to adhere to the current monetary policy (amid low inflation, favorable labor market conditions and price stability) contribute to the growth of world and US stock indices. At the beginning of today's European session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading at 28250.0, the NASDAQ100 at 8508.0, the S&P 500 near the new absolute maximum and 3182.0 mark, 36 pips above the opening price at the beginning of the week. The S&P500 index maintains a long-term positive trend, trading above the key support levels of 2962.0 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 2982.0 (Fibonacci level 23.6% of the correction to the growth since December 2018 and mark 2335.0).

    EUR/USD: Current dynamics on the eve of the ECB meeting 12/12/2019 The last Fed meeting this year ended on Wednesday. As expected, no decisions were made by the Fed leadership regarding monetary policy. The rate remained unchanged at 1.75%. Now the financial market participants are waiting for the publication of the decision on interest rates by the ECB. It will be published at 12:45 (GMT). The ECB press conference will begin at 13:30 (GMT). It is widely expected that ECB executives will not make changes to the current monetary policy. However, if they make unexpected statements regarding the current monetary policy, the volatility in the financial markets, primarily in the EUR / USD pair, will increase sharply. Previous macro data provided by Eurostat indicate the need for further support of the European economy by the ECB and the continuation of its extra-soft monetary policy. As you know, at the moment the ECB's basic interest rate is 0%, and the key deposit rate for commercial banks is -0.5%. Many economists point out that the risks to the European economy in the 4th quarter are still biased towards the downside, based on weak data on industrial production and retail sales at the beginning of the 4th quarter. At the same time, EUR / USD remains in a global downtrend, trading below the key resistance level of 1.1160 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart). The current correctional growth of EUR / USD is likely to be limited by this resistance level. The first signal to resume sales will be a breakdown of the support level 1.1115 (EMA144 on the daily chart). After the breakdown of short-term support levels 1.1080 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), 1.1064 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart, ЕМА50 on the daily chart) the relevance of short positions will increase sharply. A break into the zone below the local support level 1.0995 (November lows) will indicate a strengthening of the downward trend with targets at support levels 1.0940, 1.0900.

    GBP/USD: on the eve of the Fed decision and the British parliamentary elections 12/11/2019 On Thursday in the UK parliamentary early elections will be held. After YouGov’s poll came out last Tuesday, which showed conservatives would win the Thursday’s election and get a majority in parliament by 28 seats rather than 68, as previously expected, the pound has dropped. Nevertheless, the GBP / USD pair is likely to consolidate at current levels near 1.3150 before the preliminary voting results are released on Thursday. Investors are holding long positions on the pound in the expectation that Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be able to win a majority in parliament. The British economy will probably be able to regain some momentum early next year if Prime Minister Boris Johnson succeeds in negotiating Brexit in parliament or shifting towards a softer Brexit or canceling Brexit. In the campaign, Boris Johnson promised to break Brexit’s deadlock. Today, investors will wait for the publication (at 19:00 GMT) of the Fed decision on rates. Now the Fed interest rate is at 1.75%. As expected, the central bank will leave the monetary policy unchanged, and the attention of market participants will be riveted to the Fed statement. The Fed press conference will begin at 19:30 (GMT). Fed Chairman Jerome Powell previously called the rate cut this year a “mid-cycle correction”, which could mean that the central bank could resume raising rates. Strong data on the US labor market published last Friday may convince some Fed leaders and force them to consider raising rates. Therefore, any signals from the Fed’s leaders about the likelihood of a rate hike in the coming months could trigger a stronger dollar. To break the global bearish trend, GBP / USD must overcome the strongest resistance levels of 1.3340 (EMA200 on the weekly chart), 1.3210 (Fibonacci level 23.6% of the correction to the reduce the GBP / USD pair in a wave that began in July 2014 near the level of 1.7200). Below these resistance levels, preferred are still short long-term positions. The first signal to resume sales will be a breakdown of the local support level 1.3100 and the short-term support level 1.3083 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart).

    EUR/USD: on the eve of the Fed and ECB meetings 12/10/2019 Despite current growth, the Euro is still vulnerable against the dollar, while EUR / USD remains in a global downtrend. Data released last Friday indicated an increased risk of worsening recession in German industry. Industrial production in October fell by 1.7% compared with the previous month after a decline of 0.6% in September. Compared to October last year, industrial production decreased by 5.3%, and recent polls by economists do not contain any signals that the situation is improving. In the 3rd quarter, Eurozone GDP, according to updated data provided by Eurostat last week, grew by 0.2% (+1.2% in annual terms). Eurozone GDP is also likely to show slight growth in the 4th quarter. However, many economists point out that the risks for the 4th quarter are still biased towards the downside. This week, financial market participants will follow the publication of decisions by the Fed and the ECB at rates on Wednesday (at 19:00 GMT) and on Thursday (at 12:45 GMT), respectively. Bets are likely to remain at current levels. Comments on rate decisions and press conferences by the Fed and the ECB, which will also begin on Wednesday (at 19:30 GMT) and on Thursday (at 13:30 GMT), will be of interest. If the management of the Fed or the ECB signals aimed at changing the monetary policy plans in the near future, then the volatility in the quotations of the dollar and the euro and the pair EUR / USD will increase sharply. Similar press conferences in previous years moved the euro by 3-5%. At the moment, EUR / USD is developing an upward movement above the short-term support levels of 1.1064 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart), 1.1058 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart, ЕМА50 on the daily chart). Nevertheless, the correctional growth of EUR / USD will be limited by the resistance levels of 1.1115 (ЕМА144), 1.1160 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart). In general, the long-term negative dynamics of the EUR / USD pair remains, which speaks in favor of its sales.

    XAU/USD: a tendency to further decline remains 12/09/2019 Last Friday, the price of gold was under pressure after the publication by the US Department of Labor of data according to which in November 266,000 jobs were added (against the forecast of +180,000 and +156,000 in October) outside the US agriculture. At the same time, the unemployment rate fell to 3.5% from 3.6%, the minimum since 1969. At the end of the trading day on Friday, gold was trading at $ 1,461 an ounce. Also, pressure on gold prices in the short term will be provided by the information on progress in the development of a trade agreement between the United States and China. Earlier, Donald Trump threatened to introduce on December 15 a new series of protective duties that will affect Chinese goods worth about $ 156 billion. Neither side is interested in disrupting the negotiations, which will inevitably be followed by another round of escalation of the trade conflict. Investors hope that countries will be able to sign an agreement before December 15, when new customs duties on Chinese goods when they are imported into the United States, must be entered into force. Another disruption of the trade agreement between the United States and China or weak macro data from the United States could trigger a fall in world stock indices and higher gold prices. Also, this week will be the next Fed meeting. Earlier, the central bank said that monetary policy is likely to remain unchanged in December. If the Fed signals an intention to maintain current policy unchanged, then gold is likely to continue to remain under pressure, given the prospect of a trade agreement between the United States and China, as well as strong macro data from the United States. At the beginning of the European session on Monday, XAU / USD is trading below important short-term resistance levels of 1467.00 (EMA200 on the 1-hour chart), 1475.00 (EMA200 on the 4-hour chart, EMA50 on the daily chart), while remaining 5 weeks in the range between the levels 1484.00 (Fibonacci level 50% of the correction to the wave of decline since September 2011 and the mark of 1920.00) and 1446.00 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart).

    USD/CAD: on the eve of NFP publication and unemployment data 12/06/2019 Last Wednesday, the Bank of Canada left the key interest rate unchanged, signaling that additional monetary stimulus could be implemented in the foreseeable future. “Further decisions regarding rates will depend on the bank’s assessment of the negative impact of trade conflicts on the sources of stability of the Canadian economy”, the bank said in a statement. The pair USD / CAD fell sharply after the decision of the Bank of Canada not to change the monetary policy. Having broken through the key support level of 1.3235 (EMA144 and EMA200 on the daily chart), USD / CAD continues to decline towards the lower border of the range located between the levels of 1.3138 and 1.3345. A breakdown of the support levels 1.3042, 1.3015, corresponding to annual minimums, and a decrease to the area below the support level 1.2920 (EMA200 on the weekly chart) will indicate a break in the long-term bullish trend of USD / CAD. In an alternative scenario, and after returning to the zone above the resistance level 1.3235, long positions will become relevant again. On Friday, investors will be waiting for the publication of employment reports by the US and Canadian Department of Labor (at 13:30 GMT). Strong data expected in the USA. At the same time, unemployment remained at a multi-year low of 3.6%. Unemployment stays at current levels for 20 consecutive months. This is the longest period since the 1960s. The Fed is guided by the level of inflation, GDP and the state of the labor market, which remains a bright spot against the general background. In Canada, unemployment in October was 5.5%. If unemployment rises, the Canadian dollar will decline. If the data turn out to be better than the previous value, the Canadian dollar will strengthen. A decrease in unemployment is a positive factor for the currency, an increase in unemployment is a negative factor. Thus, during the publication of data from the US and Canadian labor markets (at 13:30 GMT), a sharp increase in volatility is expected in the financial market, especially in the USD / CAD pair.

    Brent: prices rise again 12/05/2019 Oil prices rose sharply again on Wednesday amid positive reports regarding the course of trade negotiations between the US and China and in anticipation of the outcome of the OPEC meeting. Bloomberg announced that the United States and China are close to concluding a preliminary trade agreement, which may be signed as early as December 15. This deal could spur oil demand. Oil quotes also rose thanks to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), published on Wednesday, according to which oil reserves fell by 4.856 million barrels last week (against the forecast of -1.734 million barrels). ICE Brent crude futures rose 3.6% to $ 63 a barrel, and today, prices continue to rise. At the beginning of today's European trading session, Brent crude is trading at $63.90 a barrel.

On Friday (at 18:00 GMT) the next weekly report of Baker Hughes will be published. If he again indicates a decrease in the number of active drilling rigs, this could give a new positive impetus to prices. A breakdown of the local resistance level of 64.55 (monthly highs) will strengthen the bullish momentum and direct the price to the nearest resistance levels of 65.10, 66.10, 67.50.

    USD/CAD: will the Bank of Canada reduce the rate? 12/04/2019 Bank of Canada managing director Stephen Poloz said last month that the central bank is pursuing the right policy, given the current uncertainty about how global negative factors will affect the country's economy. "We believe that monetary policy is in line with the current situation", said the head of the Bank of Canada, and "remains largely stimulating", he added. In his opinion, the overall economic situation in Canada is favorable, although trade conflicts harm Canada’s exports and the investment of Canadian companies. During 2019, the Bank of Canada kept the key rate at 1.75%, and according to the majority of financial market participants, at its meeting on Wednesday, the central bank will leave the key interest rate unchanged, at 1.75%. According to the economic advisers of the central bank, the easing of monetary policy could provoke credit growth and lead to overheating of real estate markets in the country, especially in large cities. At the same time, there is an opinion that the central bank should nevertheless consider reducing interest rates in order to prevent the negative economic consequences of the current trade conflicts. Last Tuesday, US President Donald Trump signaled that a trade war with China would continue next year. Trump said he “has no deadline” to conclude a trade agreement with China, and he “likes the idea of waiting until the election”. Reducing the likelihood of a soon deal may put pressure on commodity prices and commodity currencies quotes, in particular the Canadian dollar. If, on the part of the Bank of Canada, signals are sent today aimed at easing monetary policy in the short term, the Canadian dollar could drop sharply. The decision on the rate will be published at 15:00, and at 16:15 (GMT) a press conference will begin, during which the head of the Bank of Canada Stephen Poloz will explain the position of the bank and give an assessment of the current economic situation in the country. Meanwhile, USD / CAD broke through the short-term support level 1.3286 on Wednesday (EMA200 on the 1-hour chart) and is developing a downward trend towards the key support level 1.3238 (EMA200 on the daily chart). In case of breakdown and a further decrease in USD / CAD, the targets will be support levels 1.3200, 1.3138 (September lows), 1.3100, 1.3060, 1.3042. If the Bank of Canada today shows a tendency to soft monetary policy, then USD / CAD will resume growth, and a breakdown of the resistance level of 1.3286 will signal a resumption of long positions. Support Levels: 1.3238, 1.3200, 1.3138, 1.3100, 1.3060, 1.3042, 1.3015 Resistance Levels: 1.3286, 1.3300, 1.3325, 1.3345, 1.3380, 1.3400, 1.3452 Trading Scenarios Sell by market. Stop-Loss 1.3305.

    NZD/USD: Current Dynamics 12/03/2019 According to the US Institute for Supply Management (ISM) on Monday, the manufacturing PMI index fell to 48.1 in November from 48.3 in October (the forecast was 49.2). The manufacturing sector does not have such a significant effect on US GDP as consumer spending. However, it is an important indicator of the state of the American economy as a whole. Index values below 50 indicate a decline in activity. At the same time, the value of the manufacturing PMI below this mark has been observed for the fourth month in a row. New manufacturers were pressured by new import duties and uncertainty over the US-China trade dispute. The DXY dollar index reached a new 7-week high last Friday near 98.50. However, on Tuesday, the DXY index is down for the second day in a row. At the beginning of today's European session, futures on the DXY dollar index was trading near 97.75, 45 points below the closing price last Friday. This week, investors will be waiting for the publication of data on the US services sector (on Wednesday at 14:45 and 17:00 GMT), as well as a report on employment by the Department of Labor (on Friday at 13:30 GMT). In general, strong data are expected from the US labor market. At the same time, unemployment remained at a multi-year low of 3.6%. If the data is confirmed or is better than the forecast, then the US dollar will quickly catch up. In the first half of the trading day on Tuesday, NZD strengthened, and the NZD / USD pair rose, and for the second day in a row. At the beginning of the American session, NZD / USD is trading near the 0.6512 mark, through which the key resistance level passes (ЕМА200 on the daily chart). At 0.6545, there is another strong long-term resistance level (EMA50 on the weekly chart). To pass these strongest levels, the NZD / USD pair needs additional drivers. If positive macro data begins to arrive from the USA, then NZD/USD can rebound from current levels and return into the global downtrend. Below the support level of 0.6465 (EMA144 on the daily chart) short positions will again become relevant. Support Levels: 0.6465, 0.6440, 0.6400, 0.6322, 0.6260, 0.6200, 0.6100 Resistance Levels: 0.6512, 0.6545 Trading Scenarios Sell Stop 0.6490. Sell Limit 0.6545. Stop-Loss 0.6610.

According to statements by the Ministry of Commerce of China made last month, the parties "agreed to properly resolve key issues and confirmed that the technical consultations on some parts of the text of the agreement have basically been completed". Last week, US President Donald Trump signed law to support protesters in Hong Kong, but China refrained from retaliation. The parties are still set to sign a trade agreement. Trump is likely to also refrain from introducing December 15 previously announced new import duties on Chinese goods. On Monday, world and US stock indices received additional support after the publication of positive macro data, indicating that the second largest economy in the world continues to grow, despite a trade conflict with the United States. So, the Procurement Managers Index (PMI) for China's manufacturing sector according to Caixin in November rose to 51.8 from 51.7 in October.

    Brent: Strong drivers are needed for price increases 11/29/2019 Expectations of a soon conclusion of a trade agreement between the United States and China contributed to higher prices for commodities, including oil. So, Brent crude oil has risen in price over the past 2 months by almost 6%, reaching $ 64.55 a barrel this week. However, further price growth stopped. The price is trying to gain a foothold in the zone above the key resistance levels 63.70 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart), 63.90 (Fibonacci 38.2% of the downward correction in the wave of price growth from the level near the level of 27.10 to the highs of October 2018 near the mark of 86.60 dollars per barrel). A breakdown of the local resistance level of 64.55 (monthly highs) will strengthen the bullish momentum and will direct the price to resistance levels 65.10, 66.10, 67.50. However, the global downtrend of the price is prevailing. Its further growth is unlikely without strong fundamental drivers. A signal for the resumption of sales will be the breakdown of support levels 63.00 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 63.35 (ЕМА200 on the 1-hour chart). The targets for further decline are located at the levels of 60.40 (May lows), 58.50, 56.90 (Fibonacci level of 50%). Continued tensions in international trade relations, as well as significant oil reserves in the United States will put pressure on oil prices in the direction of their decline. A stronger dollar is also putting pressure on oil prices. At the beginning of today's European session, DXY futures are trading near 98.32, 17 pips above the opening price last Monday, staying close to the highs of the last 7 weeks. Support Levels: 63.35, 63.00, 62.30, 61.00, 60.40, 58.50, 56.90 Resistance Levels: 64.00, 64.55, 65.10, 67.50 Trading Recommendations Sell by market. Stop-Loss 64.60.

    USD/CAD: in the last days of the month 11/28/2019 Today is a day off in the USA (Thanksgiving). US financial markets and banks will be closed, and on Friday, trading will end earlier. In this regard, trading volumes during the US trading session will be low. Meanwhile, the US dollar remains positive. After the publication of a number of positive macro data from the United States on Wednesday, the DXY dollar index reached a local 6-week high near 98.37, while maintaining multi-month positive dynamics. According to official data released on Wednesday, US GDP growth in the 3rd quarter was 2.1% (the initial estimate assumed US GDP growth in the 3rd quarter by 1.9%), mainly due to strong indicators of consumer spending. Rising wages, historically low unemployment and low interest rates in October supported consumer spending, which is about 2/3 of US GDP. Speaking on Monday, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said that "this growth period has been going on for 11 years and is the longest in US history, so overall economic conditions can be called favorable". The US economy in the current conditions looks more stable compared to other major economies in the world, which will help maintain the demand for US assets and the dollar. Meanwhile, USD / CAD has been growing since the opening of today's trading day. At the beginning of the European session, USD / CAD is trading above the short-term support level 1.3275 (EMA200 on the 1-hour chart) and the important support level 1.3235 (EMA200 on the daily chart), which speaks in favor of purchases of this currency pair. Therefore, you should look for the opportunity to enter long positions, for example, when roll back (lower) to the support level of 1.3275. Above this level of support, long positions are preferred. A breakdown of this level of support will be a signal for sales. In this case, the reduction targets will be the support levels 1.3200, 1.3138 (September lows), 1.3100, 1.3060, 1.3042. Despite the optimism of Bank of Canada managers, many economists believe that the central bank should consider lowering interest rates to prevent the negative economic effects of ongoing trade conflicts. The next meeting of the Bank of Canada will be held on December 4. If at this meeting, the Bank of Canada will signal its intention to lower the rate in the coming months, then the Canadian dollar may come under pressure, which may intensify amid falling oil prices. Support Levels: 1.3275, 1.3235, 1.3200, 1.3138, 1.3100, 1.3060, 1.3042, 1.3015 Resistance Levels: 1.3300, 1.3325, 1.3345, 1.3380, 1.3400, 1.3452 Trading recommendations Sell Stop 1.3250.

    XAU/USD: Current Dynamics 11/27/2019 Against the background of increased expectations of investors in the soon conclusion of a trade agreement between the United States and China, the demand for protective assets, including gold, is declining. According to reports received earlier this month from the Ministry of Commerce of China, if a “first phase” trade agreement is signed, the parties will cancel duties at the same time and in equal volumes. This news triggered a sharp increase in stock indices and a drop in gold prices. On Tuesday, investor optimism was reinforced by another report by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce that the parties agreed to continue discussion of the remaining issues that need to be agreed upon to conclude a "first phase" deal. At the beginning of the European session on Wednesday, XAU / USD is trading below the important short-term resistance level of 1464.00 (EMA200 on the 1-hour chart). In case of further decline, XAU / USD will go towards the support levels of 1440.00 (ЕМА144 on the daily chart), 1420.00 (ЕМА200 on the daily chart). Above these levels, a long-term bull trend remains. Return to the area above the resistance levels of 1478.00 (ЕМА200 on the 4-hour chart), 1484.00 (Fibonacci level 50% of the correction to the wave of decline since September 2011 and the mark of 1920.00) will create conditions for further growth of XAU / USD. Nevertheless, investors are cautious before Thanksgiving and before the publication of important macro data from the United States today (at 13:30, 14:45, 15:00 GMT), including data on orders for durable goods, the second estimate of GDP for 3- the first quarter and data on applications for unemployment benefits, data on personal income and expenses of Americans, the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index. At 19:00 (GMT) the Fed Beige Book will be published. If the data indicate the stability of the US economy, the dollar will strengthen, and gold prices will come under pressure. Conversely, weak macro data from the United States, as well as new difficulties in the negotiation process between US and Chinese trade representatives, could trigger a fall in stock indices and an increase in demand for gold. The first signal to resume the long XAU / USD positions will be a breakdown of the resistance level of 1464.00. Support Levels: 1440.00, 1420.00, 1380.00, 1368.00, 1310.00, 1253.00 Resistance Levels: 1464.00, 1478.00, 1484.00, 1497.00, 1520.00, 1535.00, 1555.00, 1585.00 Trading Recommendations Sell Stop 1451.00.
