USD/JPY retreated after spiking higher to 147.36 and intraday bias is turned neutral first. Further rally remains in favor as long as 144.52 support holds. Above 147.36 will resume the rise from 127.20 to retest 151.93 high. On the downside, however, firm break of 144.52 should confirm short term topping, and turn bias back to the downside for 55 D EMA (now at 142.86).

In the bigger picture, overall price actions from 151.93 (2022 high) are views as a corrective pattern. Rise from 127.20 is seen as the second leg of the pattern and could still be in progress. But even in case of extended rise, strong resistance should be seen from 151.93 to limit upside. Meanwhile, break of 137.22 support should confirm the start of the third leg to 127.20 (2023 low) and below.

Markets

US and EMU markets yesterday initially held to the guarded technical trading as was the case on Monday. However, with central banks working under the highest the degree of data dependency, things can move quickly. Both US JOLTS job openings (8827k from 9165k, lowest since March 2021) and consumer confidence (106.1 from 114) showed an unexpected tumbling, causing markets to raise the odds for a pause in the Fed hiking cycle at the September meeting, despite chair Powell and other central bankers holding to the higher for longer narrative at Jackson Hole just a few days ago. In a perfect re-steepening the US 2-y yield dropped 15.4 bps leaving behind the 5.0%+ area (4.90%).The 30-y eased 4.7 bps. The decline was mainly driven by the real yields (10-y minus 6.4 bps). The spill-over to European markets was modest. The focus in the EMU is on inflation data to be published today (Germany) and tomorrow (EMU). German yields lost between 2.3 bps (2-y) and 5.7 bps (30-y). The sharp decline in US yields propelled equities (S&P 500 +1.45%, Nasdaq 1.74%). Important support levels that were at risk only a week ago look again relatively safe now. The lost of (real) interest rate support and the risk rebound broke the USD’s momentum. The DYX dropped below 104 (close 103.5). A potential test of the 104.7 end May top is called off for now. EUR/USD jumped to the high 1.08 area (close 1.088). Even the yen received some breathing space after USD/JPY initially jumped well north of 147 (close 145.88). Even so, the USD/JPY uptrend remains intact for now.

Asian equities mostly open in green but gains could have been bigger give the price action on WS yesterday evening. Persistent uncertainty on Chinese growth and on the country’s property sector are tempering sentiment. US ADP private job growth later today is expected to decline from a very strong 324k in July to 195k in August. Markets are sensitive to negative surprises, but after yesterday’s repositioning expectations for a September Fed rate hike have already become low going into Friday’s payrolls report (0.15%). So the room for a further sharp decline in ST US yields probably isn’t that big anymore. The reaction of European interest rate markets to the German August CPI data could be more interesting. Headline HICP inflation is expected to slow down further to 0.3% M/M and 6.5% Y/Y (from 0.5%M/M and 6.5% Y/Y in July). With markets discounting a close to even chance between a rate hike and a pause at the September 14 ECB meeting, there is room for a market reaction either way in case of a surprise. The EUR/USD decline over the previous month was mainly driven by overall USD strength. After yesterday’s rebound, the pair is now closing in the ST downtrend line marking the decline since mid-July (coming near 1.09). The payrolls will have the final say on the overall USD performance. Even so, higher than expected EMU inflation data might help to put a floor the euro short term.

News and views

Headline Australian inflation rose by 0.3% M/M in July following a 0.7% gain in June. The Y/Y figure dropped more than forecast, from 5.4% to 4.9%, matching the lowest level since February 2022. Declines in holiday travel and accommodation (-3.3%), fruit and vegetable prices (-2.9%) and automotive fuel (-0.2%) weighed on headline CPI while price for rents (0.7%), electricity (6%) and gas and other household fuels (2.3%) increased. Government energy rebates prevented a 19.2% increase in electricity prices, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. CPI excluding volatile items remained higher at 5.8% Y/Y (vs 6.1% Y/Y in June). The Aussie dollar briefly ticked lower on the release, but already returns towards yesterday’s 0.6480 top (USD weakness). Incoming RBA governor Bullock yesterday said that inflation is still too high in Australia and that the RBA may have to raise interest rates again. For the time being and at least until next year, the central bank will be taking decisions month by month. She’s reluctant to give any sort of predictions on how long interest rates may have to stay high.

People familiar with the matter told news agency Bloomberg that China’s largest banks are preparing to cut interest rates on existing mortgages (loans on first homes) and deposits as soon as today in the latest bid to revamp consumer spending. In separate news, the China Securities Journal reports, citing analysts, that the country’s currency will receive government support to prevent excessive volatility awaiting pro-growth measures to take effect. USD/CNY is camping around 7.30, matching the weakest CNY level since end 2007.

Market movers today

Today we get the first August CPI releases in the euro area with both Germany and Spain reporting numbers ahead of the Flash Euro CPI tomorrow.

In the US ADP employment for August is due. It may get extra attention after the weak job openings data and consumer confidence yesterday but remember the ADP release is rarely a good guide for the non-farm payrolls due on Friday.

In Scandi, Sweden will release the monthly batch of survey data for consumers and businesses.

Overnight China will release August PMI for both manufacturing and services from NBS.

The 60 second overview

US releases. The US session yesterday saw the release of the monthly JOLTS job opening statistics which showed a sharp decline from 9.2m in June to 8.8m in July. This is a clear indication that demand for labour is beginning to level off and that wage growth pressures are easing with the JOLTS report having many coinciding features with other US labour market compensation measures. Hence the release should be encouraging news for the Federal Reserve as it suggests that the last years' monetary tightening is beginning to feed through to the labour market. We will get the important non-farm payrolls report on Friday.

In addition, the Conference Board Consumer survey release for August - also released yesterday - showed beginning signs of weakening US consumer sentiment. Consumer expectations declined following some improvement over the summer, while the assessment of job opportunities being 'plentiful' fell to the lowest level since April 2021. For the consumer confidence indices there were signs of weakness both in the current situation assessment as well as in the future expectations component - similar to earlier signals from University of Michigan and the PMIs. Inflation expectations in this report ticked ever so slightly higher (5.8%; from 5.7%), although we would be careful reading too much into this amid the summer rise in gasoline prices.

Markets. Overall softer US consumer sentiment combined with signs of declining nominal wage growth eases the pressure on the Federal Reserve to deliver more monetary tightening. Indeed, rates markets reacted sharply to the releases with 2 Y US yields moving more than 10bp lower driving a general bullish steepening of the US yield curve. In turn the drop in yields added relief in financial markets with risky assets across asset classes performing strongly. This shows that we are currently in a "bad news is good news"-regime for markets with investors fretting the potential for additional monetary tightening.

Norway. Also in Norway we got data yesterday on unfilled vacant positions in the job market which showed a drop from 131K to 118K bringing the vacancy rate from 4.1% to 3.7%. The release supports the signals from other recent indicators that the labour market remains tight, but is weakening moderately as growth is slowing down. While not weak enough to stop Norges Bank from delivering another 25bp hike in September, we do believe that a weaker labour market increasingly suggests that the peak in policy rates will be hit next month.

Equities were notably higher on Tuesday as the soft landing narrative was reinforced by new job data. This especially spurred US equities as yields fell, with S&P500 gaining 1.5%, but also Europe rose 1%. Sector performance differed between the two regions. European and Nordic outperformance was driven by value cyclicals, such as Stora Enso and Nokia among the top performers, while big tech led the gains in the US (consumer discretionary, communication and tech all up 2%). Buoyant tones are continuing this morning with Asia and US futures in green.

FI: Global fixed income markets have had a strong performance following the US data releases described above. 2-year US Treasury yields have fallen by a significant 12bp, while the 10-year Treasury yield is down 9bp. The tailwind to US bond markets spilled over to European markets, where 10-year yields fell 5-7bp. The 10-year Italian yield spread to Germany tightened by a few basis points. The market pricing of the expected peak ECB rate was close to unchanged, while the implied probability of further rate hikes from the FOMC subsided a bit.

FX: Yesterday's FX session was dominated by a boost to risk and cyclically sensitive currencies following the sharp decline in USD yields. Unsurprisingly, the USD had a poor session with EUR/USD moving close to one full big figure higher after having moved below the 1.08 mark earlier in the session. Both NOK and SEK have enjoyed the rally in risk appetite with EUR/NOK and EUR/SEK moving back to the low 11.50s and low 11.80s, respectively. The decline in global yields has contributed to sending USD/JPY a full big figure lower toward the 146 mark while EUR outperformance vis-à-vis GBP has sent EUR/GBP back above the 0.86 mark for the first time in two weeks.

Credit: The red hot primary credit market continued Tuesday with a number of high profile deals announced. In Scandi space this included among others Securitas, Molnlycke, Klaveness Combination Carriers, Eurofins and Sydbank. Once again, the high primary activity took most of the attention leaving the secondary credit market activity subdued. That said, iTraxx Main ended 4bp tighter at 70bp while iTraxx Xover was 18bp tighter at 395.

Swiss KOF Economic Barometer, a leading indicator for the Swiss economy, declined from 92.1 to 91.1 in August, missing market expectation of 91.3. The barometer continues to hover below the average mark, signaling that Swiss economy is likely to face challenging conditions in the near term.

According to KOF, almost all sectoral indicators contributed to the lower reading except for construction and domestic consumption, which exhibited slight positive developments.

The most notable downturn in sentiment was observed in the services sector, affecting both real and financial services. This was closely followed by export-oriented businesses, as well as the hotel and restaurant industries.

Daily Pivots: (S1) 0.8753; (P) 0.8806; (R1) 0.8837; More....

USD/CHF's retreat from 0.8874 extended lower but stays above 0.8758 support. Intraday bias remains neutral first and further rally remains in favor to continue. On the upside, break of 0.8874 will resume the rise from 0.8551 to 0.9146 cluster resistance next. Nevertheless, break of 0.8758 will turn bias back to the downside for 0.8688 support and below.

In the bigger picture, rebound from 0.8551 medium term bottom is currently seen as a correction to the downtrend from 1.0146 (2022 high). Further rally would be seen to 0.9146 cluster resistance (38.2% retracement of 1.0146 to 0.8551 at 0.9160). Strong resistance could be seen there to limit upside, at least on first attempt. Nevertheless, medium term outlook is neutral at best as long as 0.8551 holds, until further developments.

Dollar's attempted rally quickly reversed overnight, following disappointing consumer confidence data. Interestingly, equities gained on what some market participants are calling a "bad news is good news" factor. The logic here is that Fed is now less likely to raise interest rates again this year, thereby giving stocks a lift, as Treasury yields also took a dip. However, it's worth noting that there hasn't been a sustained selloff in the greenback as market attention is largely focused on the impending non-farm payroll and PCE inflation data due this Friday. Meanwhile, today's ADP private job data might still trigger some market reactions.

Australian Dollar is emerging as the week's best performer for now, largely ignoring the lower-than-expected monthly CPI data. It is followed closely by the New Zealand Dollar, buoyed by an overall positive risk sentiment. Euro and Swiss Franc have also firmed up, benefiting from Dollar's momentary stumble. For now, Dollar, Yen, and Canadian Dollar are the laggards in currency markets.

Technically, EUR/CAD is worth a watch in the next few days, with focus on 1.4799 resistance. Firm break there would argue that corrective pattern from 1.4879 has completed, and further rally could then be seen through 1.4879 to resume whole rise from 1.4280. On the other hand, break of 1.4626 support will extend the pattern from 1.4879 with another fall through 1.4482. The next move would be a reaction to either Eurozone CPI flash or Canada GDP, or both.

In Asia, at the time of writing, Nikkei rose 0.33%. Hong Kong HSI is up 0.37%. China Shanghai SSE is up 0.07%. Singapore Strait Times is up 0.16%. Japan 10-year JGB yield rose 0.011 to 0.658. Overnight, DOW rose 0.85%. S&P 500 rose 1.45%. NASDAQ rose 1.74%. 10 year yield dropped -0.090 to 4.122.

Australian CPI eases more than expected to 4.9% in July

Australia's monthly CPI for July registered a deeper than expected slowdown, easing from 5.4% yoy to 4.9% yoy. Analysts had forecasted a milder decline to 5.2% yoy. The underlying inflation measures also indicated a deceleration. CPI excluding volatile items such as holiday travel came in at 5.8% yoy, down from 6.1% yoy. The trimmed mean CPI, which is often regarded as a more accurate reflection of inflationary pressures, slowed from 6.0% yoy to 5.6% yoy.

A closer look at the inflation contributors reveals a mixed picture. Housing costs remained a significant upward pressure, climbing 7.3% on an annual basis. Food and non-alcoholic beverages followed closely, rising by 5.6% yoy. However, this was offset by substantial price falls in other areas. Automotive fuel costs dropped by -7.6%, while fruit and vegetable prices declined by -5.4%, thus tempering the overall July increase.

The latest CPI data comes on the heels of yesterday's hawkish comments from incoming RBA Governor Michele Bullock, who emphasized that her first priority is still to maintain a focus on bringing inflation back down to target. Today's lower-than-expected inflation figures might lend some flexibility to RBA's policy approach, but with sectors like housing and food still exhibiting strong price pressures, the central bank's task appears far from straightforward.

BoJ's Tamura eyes next Q1 for decisive inflation data for policy shifts

BoJ board member Naoki Tamura offered insights into the timeline for potentially phasing out the central bank's ultra-accommodative stance. he signaled that by the first quarter of 2024, BoJ could gather sufficient data to evaluate whether the 2% inflation target could be sustainably achieved.

"It's appropriate at this stage to sustain monetary easing, and earnestly scrutinize wage and price developments," Tamura said, adding that he is hopeful for "further clarity" on the inflation target "around January through March next year" through wage and price data available by that time.

Tamura anticipates that Japan's inflation could slow down for the time being, only to moderately accelerate later. This coincides with his expectation of high wage growth in the next year's spring wage negotiations.

Tamura emphasized that the "biggest key to monetary policy outlook is whether Japan achieves a positive cycle of rising wages and inflation."

Bitcoin soars after Grayscale's legal win, now pressing 55 D EMA

In a notable development for cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors, Bitcoin experienced a significant surge overnight, pulling other cryptocurrencies higher in its wake. This rally was triggered by Grayscale's key legal victory against the US Securities and Exchange Commission in its bid to launch a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund. The favorable ruling could pave the way for the SEC's approval of other Bitcoin ETF applications, thereby providing the cryptocurrency industry with access to a new pool of retail investor capital.

From a technical perspective, Bitcoin's strong bounce suggests that cluster support zone around 25k is defended well for now. This support zone comprises various key levels, including 24739 support, 25242 resistance-turned-support, and more importantly 38.2% retracement of 15452 to 31815 at 25564.

The overnight activity implies that recent price actions from 31815 may simply represent sideways consolidation rather than a bearish trend. It suggests that the medium-term rise from 15452 isn't over just yet.

However, to firmly establish this bullish case, Bitcoin still has hurdles to overcome in the near term. Specifically, it will need to break through the 55 D EMA, currently at 28173, and 28555 support-turned-resistance.

Looking ahead

Swiss will release KOF economic barometer and Credit Suisse economic expectations. Eurozone will release economic sentiment indicator. Germany will release CPI flash.

Later in the day, US will publish ADP job, goods trade balance, pending home sales and Q2 GDP revision.

The July Monthly Indicator rose just 4.9%yr (0.3%mth) softer than market expectations but was clost to our 4.8%yr (0.2%mth) forecast. As it is close to our forecast it is unlikely to see us meaningfully revise our Q3 CPI forecast of 1.0%qtr.

The Monthly CPI Indicator printed 0.3%mth/4.9%yr, very close to Westpac’s 0.2%mth/4.8%yr forecast but quite a bit softer than the market’s 5.2%yr forecast.

As expected, electricity presented a key upside risk printing 6.0%mth vs 2.4%mth forecast. Also on the upside was gas & other fuels (2.3%mth vs 0.8%mth forecast), auto fuel (–0.2%mth vs –1.0% forecast), clothing & footwear (2.5%mth vs -0.3% forecast) and dwelling purchases (0.7%mth vs 0.3%mth forecast). All up housing surprised to the upside at 1.3%mth vs 0.7%mth forecast.

Offsetting was falling prices for food (–0.2% vs flat forecast), recreation (–1.5%mth vs –1.0% forecast).

We will process the numbers in more detail and will make any revisions that are necessary, with note to the stronger than expect housing costs but weaker household contents & services. Overall, with a headline print so close to our forecast we doubt any revisions will be significant.

As such it is also consistent with out view that there is no near term pressure for the RBA to increase rates again.

Yesterday was a typical ‘bad news is good news’ day. Risk sentiment in the US and across the globe was boosted by an unexpected dip in US job openings to below 9 mio jobs in July, the lowest levels since more than two years, and an unexpected fall in consumer confidence in August. The weak data pushed the Federal Reserve (Fed) hawks to the sidelines, and bolstered the expectation of a pause in September, and tilted the probabilities in favour of a no hike in November, as well.

Note that the latest JOLTS data printed the ideal picture for the Fed: Job vacancies eased, but hiring was moderate and the layoffs remained near historically low levels. The data also suggested that the era of Great Resignation, where quit rates hit a record, could be over, as people quitting their jobs retreated to levels last seen before the pandemic. The US 2-year yield dived 15bp, the 10-year yield fell 8bp, while the S&P500 jumped nearly 1.50% to above its 50-DMA and closed the session at a spitting distance from the 4500 level. 90% of the S&P stocks gained yesterday; even the Big Pharma which had a first glance at which medicines will be subject to price negotiations with Medicare held their ground. But of course, tech stocks led the rally, with Nasdaq 100 closing the session with more than a 2% jump. Tesla was one of the biggest gainers of the session with a more than a 7.5% jump yesterday.

US and European futures suggest a bullish open amid the US optimism and news of upcoming deposit and mortgage rate cuts from Chinese banks.

On the data front, all eyes are on the US ADP report and the latest GDP update. The ADP report is expected to reveal below 200K new private job additions in August, while the US growth is expected to be revised from 2% to 2.4% for the Q2 with core PCE prices seen down from 4.90% to 3.80%. If the data is in line with expectations, we shall see yesterday’s optimism continue throughout today. Again, what we want is to see – in the order of importance: 1. Slowing price pressure, 2. Looser, but still healthy jobs market, 3. Slowing but not contracting economy to ensure a soft landing. We will see if that’s feasible.

In Europe, however, that slow landing seems harder to achieve. Today, investors will keep an eye on the latest inflation updates from euro-area countries, and business and sentiment surveys. We expect to see some further red flags regarding the health of the European economy due to tighter financial conditions in Europe and the energy crisis. German Chamber of Commerce and Industry warned yesterday that German businesses are cutting investments and move production abroad due to high energy prices at home. The EURUSD flirted with 1.09 yesterday, as investors trimmed their long dollar positions after the weak JOLTS data. The AUDUSD rebounded, even though the latest CPI print showed that inflation in Australia slowed below 5% in July, a 17-month low. In the UK, shop prices fell to a 10-month low. But it won’t be enough for central bankers to cry victory just yet, because the positive pressure in energy prices remains a major concern for the months ahead. The barrel of American crude is pushing toward the $82pn level, with improved trend and momentum dynamics hinting that the bullish development could further extend.

DXY:

The DXY (US Dollar Index) chart is currently characterized by a bearish momentum, attributed to its break below an ascending support line, indicating the potential for a downward price movement. In this context, the chart could potentially witness a decline towards the 1st support level at 103.40. This level holds significance as an overlap support, backed by historical instances of price finding support in this region.

Further reinforcing potential support, the 2nd support level at 102.82 also serves as an overlap support, suggesting its importance in historical price action. These levels may act as foundations for a short-term drop.

On the flip side, the 1st resistance at 103.83 is marked as a pullback resistance, which might serve as a hurdle for any potential short-term upward correction.

Additionally, the 2nd resistance at 104.40 is identified as a multi-swing high resistance, signifying its historical role as a barrier against upward movements.

EUR/USD:

The EUR/USD chart currently exhibits a bearish momentum, primarily influenced by the fact that the price is positioned below a significant descending trend line, indicating a likelihood of further bearish movement. In this context, there’s potential for a short-term upward movement towards the 1st resistance level at 1.0915, followed by a potential reversal off this level, leading to a subsequent drop towards the 1st support level.

The 1st support level at 1.0838 is considered a pullback support, suggesting that historical price action has shown support around this region during pullbacks or corrections.

In addition, the 2nd support level at 1.0784 is marked as an overlap support, indicating its historical significance in terms of providing a base for potential price movements.

On the upside, the 1st resistance at 1.0915 is identified as an overlap resistance, signifying historical instances of price encountering resistance in this area. Traders often monitor these levels for potential price reactions.

EUR/JPY:

For EUR/JPY, the chart shows a bullish overall momentum.

The 1st support level at 158.00 is an overlap support, indicating potential buying interest at this level. It’s also aligned with the 50% Fibonacci retracement, adding to its significance.

The 2nd support level at 157.07 is a multi-swing low support, further suggesting its importance as a potential area of buying activity.

On the resistance side, the 1st resistance level at 159.20 is an overlap resistance, which might act as a barrier to upward movement.

The 2nd resistance level at 159.88 is particularly interesting as it’s a 127% Fibonacci extension, implying that this level could be a target for bullish momentum.

EUR/GBP:

For EUR/GBP, the chart indicates a bullish overall momentum.

The 1st support level at 0.8564 is an overlap support and also coincides with the 38.20% Fibonacci retracement, suggesting potential buying interest at this level.

The 2nd support level at 0.8515 is a swing low support, which could reinforce its significance as a potential area where buyers might step in.

On the resistance side, the 1st resistance level at 0.8636 is an overlap resistance. Moreover, it aligns with both the 78.60% Fibonacci retracement and the 61.80% Fibonacci projection, indicating strong potential for resistance at this level.

The 2nd resistance level at 0.8670 is a swing high resistance, which could further add to its importance as a potential barrier for bullish movement.

GBP/USD:

The GBP/USD chart is currently displaying a bearish overall momentum, signaling a downward trend in the price. Within this context, there’s potential for the price to continue its bearish movement and potentially target the 1st support level.

The 1st support at 1.2541 is identified as an overlap support, indicating that historical price action has found support around this level. This level is a significant consideration as it provides a potential base for the price to stabilize or rebound.
