    S&P500: investors took a pause
    21/03/2018
    Current dynamics

    The second trading day, the main US indices are traded in a narrow range. Traders paused before the decision of the Fed on rates, which will be published today at 18:00 (GMT).
    Virtually all market participants believe that interest rates will be increased. As expected, the Fed will raise the range of key interest rates by 25 basis points, to 1.50% -1.75%. According to the CME Group, the probability of an increase is estimated at 95%, and this decision is already included in the price.
    Greater interest for investors will be presented by a press conference of the new head of the Fed, Jerome Powell, which will start at 18:30 (GMT). Investors will seek in his comments signals for the possibility of faster monetary tightening. The steady rise in inflation and the growth of the US economy forced some investors to put in price 4 rate hikes this year. If Powell confirms this probability, the dollar will rise sharply, and US stock indices will decline.
    The Fed's fresh economic forecasts will also be of interest, according to which the Fed may slightly raise forecasts of US GDP growth for 2019 and 2020. Tax reform in the US can provide support to the economy for at least a few years. These are the factors in favor of the growth of stock indices.
    Meanwhile, investors are also monitoring the situation around the introduction of import duties on steel and aluminum, which will begin to operate in the US since Friday. On Thursday, the administration of the US president is expected to announce new foreign trade measures directed against China, including duties of $ 30 billion. This will again remind of the possibility of unleashing new world trade wars.
    Also on the agenda of the US Congress is the question of the adoption of a bill on the financing of the government in the amount of $ 1.3 trillion, in order to avoid the third for the year 2018 a partial cessation of work of state institutions. The decision on this issue should be made by the end of the trading day on Friday.
    On Thursday, investors' attention will also be directed to the meeting of the Bank of England, which will address the question of the interest rate in the UK.
    Thus, volatility on global financial markets will be high until the end of this trading week.

    DJIA: investors analyze the results of the last meeting of the Fed
    22/03/2018
    Current dynamics

    The decision of the Fed to increase the interest rate by 0.25%, and adhere to the previously planned plan for further tightening of monetary policy, was negatively welcomed by investors, which caused a decline in both the dollar and the major US stock indexes.
    If dollar buyers were disappointed that the Fed did not directly state the probability of 4 rate increases this year, then the stock market participants are disappointed that the Fed has confirmed the direction of its monetary policy for its further tightening.
    Seven of the fifteen participants in the last meeting of the Fed still expect at least four increases this year.
    The Fed revised its GDP growth forecasts up by 2.7% this year and 2.4% in 2019 against earlier forecasts of 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively. The Fed also expects that unemployment, which remained at 4.1% in October, will fall to 3.8% this year against 3.9% in the December forecast.
    With the opening of today's trading day, the major US indices are declining.
    Investors analyze the comments of the Fed, the dynamics of the monetary policy of the world's central banks and the prospects for increasing tensions in trade.
    Investors believe that the Fed's confidence in the US economy and its restrained tone, ultimately, should positively affect the stock market. However, the prospect of further intensifying trade tensions could put pressure on stock indices.
    Later on Thursday, the White House will announce a series of restrictive measures directed against China, including import duties on Chinese goods with a total value of at least $ 30 billion.
    Donald Trump previously repeatedly pointed to the inadmissibility of a huge deficit in the US trade balance in trade with China.
    As you know, the US foreign trade deficit in January amounted to a record $ 56.6 billion. And the introduction of import duties in the US should contribute, on the one hand, to increasing the competitiveness of national producers, and on the other hand, indirectly contribute to reducing the deficit of the foreign trade balance.
    At the same time, in the long run, world trade wars do not contribute to the growth of the world economy and stock markets.
    Today (at 12:00 GMT) the decision on monetary policy should be announced by the Bank of England. Investors will wait for hints of possible actions on the tightening of monetary policy in May.
    Volatility in this period of time will grow throughout the financial market, which must be taken into account when making trading decisions.

    S&P500: the mood in the markets remains negative
    23/03/2018
    Current dynamics

    The newly exacerbated threat of the emergence of world trade wars provoked another decline in world stock markets. So, the US DJIA index lost 2.9% on Thursday, which was its worst one-day percentage drop since February 8, the S&P500 fell 2.6% and lost all growth this year, the Chinese Shanghai Composite Index lost 3.4%, while the Shenzhen Composite dropped 4.3%.
    European indices are also under pressure. For example, the European EuroSTOXX50 opened today's trading day with a gap down after yesterday's sharp decline of 2.1%.
    In Europe, the decline was led by the core resources sector. Shares of the steel company Outokumpu Oyj fell 4.8%. The decline in government bond yields led to a pullback in the banking sector.
    So the world stock indexes reacted to the new restrictive actions of Washington. Restrictive measures were taken by China. On Thursday, US President Donald Trump signed a memorandum on the introduction of charges for the import of goods of Chinese production for a total of $ 60 billion. The restriction also concerns the access of Chinese business to American technologies.
    Previously, the US imposed import duties on steel and aluminum at 25% and 10%, respectively. Today these duties have come into force.
    Protectionist actions of the White House cause sharp criticism from the leaders of the world community. So, Japan's trade minister Hiroshige Seko said today that "This measure is extremely unfortunate". "If we respond to the steps taken by the United States by a series of retaliatory measures, this could indeed lead to the collapse of the free trade system", Seko added.
    South Korea, the EU, Australia and some other countries, including those belonging to the NAFTA (Canada and Mexico), are temporarily exempted from these duties.
    The US action was a response from China, which announced the introduction of duties on goods from the US, and alarmed markets in Asia. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce today announced that it will return duties on imports of American goods, including pork and processed aluminum, in the amount of $ 3 billion. On Friday, the Nikkei Stock Average closed with a decline of 4.5%, and the yen asylum currency rose against the dollar to its highs since 2016. Stock indexes of South Korea, China and Hong Kong decreased by more than 3%. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 2.8%. Earlier, the EU also announced the introduction of restrictive measures to import a number of American goods. In response, Trump threatened to introduce import duties on European cars.
    Negative news will continue to rock the markets.
    Today, traders will be focused on the publication at 12:30 (GMT) of important macro data on the US and Canada, which will increase the volatility of trading in financial markets.
    However, investors will evaluate US protectionist actions against their trading partners. It is likely that in the foreseeable future, the mood in the markets is likely to be negative.

    XAU/USD: investors are concerned about recent decisions of the White House
    26/03/2018
    Current dynamics

    Due to increased tension in trade relations between China and the United States, the demand for protective assets, in particular gold, has risen sharply. March gold futures on COMEX on the basis of trading rose in price by 1.7%, to 1349.30 dollars per troy ounce, which was the most significant one-day growth since February 14.
    Fears that the protectionist trade policy of the US and China will provoke trade wars caused a large-scale decline in the dollar, world stock indices and supported the quotes of gold. Another surge in the volatility of trades in this non-ferrous metal was caused by the US decision to impose restrictive measures against China. Among these measures - import duties on supplies from China worth $ 60 billion, restrictions on the acquisition of American companies and the transfer of technologies to China.
    This was stated on Thursday by US President Donald Trump, who intends to reduce the US trade deficit with China to $ 100 billion from the current record level. "Our trade deficit with China, according to various estimates, ranges from $ 375 billion to $ 504 billion. We have a situation with a colossal theft of intellectual property, corresponding to the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars", Trump said before signing the memorandum.
    China reacted negatively to this decision of the White House. "The US actions do not meet the interests of the Chinese side, or the interests of the American side, or the interests of the whole world, becoming a bad precedent. In any case, the Chinese side will not be indifferent to seeing how its legitimate interests are damaged, we are fully prepared to defend our interests in a resolute manner", the Ministry of Commerce of China said in a statement.
    Investors are extremely concerned about the threat of the emergence of world trade wars. Previously, the US announced the introduction of import duties on steel and aluminum, and first of all, it will affect Japan and China, the largest suppliers of these products in the US. Japanese Commerce Minister Hiroshige Seko said last week that "this measure is extremely unfortunate". "If we respond to the steps taken by the United States by a series of retaliatory measures, this could indeed lead to the collapse of the free trade system", Seko added.
    Under normal conditions, monetary tightening strengthens the dollar and leads to a decrease in gold quotations. At the March meeting, the Fed raised its forecast for economic growth for the next two years and left its intention to raise the rate this year two more times. Basically, economists expect that a further increase in the interest rate in the US this year will put pressure on gold.
    But, despite the Fed's decision to stick to its plan to tighten monetary policy, the dollar is getting cheaper, and gold is rising in price, as geopolitical risks related to the prospect of new trade wars are coming to the fore.
    With the opening of today's trading day, gold is traded in a narrow range. On the one hand, the dollar continues to become cheaper today, which positively affects gold quotes. On the other hand, today there is an increase in the main US stock indices, which reached important support levels on the eve, which indicates the resumption of purchases of risky assets of the US stock market. Against this background, gold, usually, becomes cheaper.
    If the dollar starts to recover when the positive dynamics on the US stock market resume, then the XAU / USD will start to decline again.

    DJIA: investors monitor the negotiations of representatives of the United States and China
    27/03/2018
    Current dynamics

    As you know, last Thursday, US President Donald Trump announced a number of measures aimed at reducing the US trade deficit with China by $ 100 billion from the current record level. "Our trade deficit with China, according to various estimates, ranges from $ 375 billion to $ 504 billion. We have a situation with a colossal theft of intellectual property, corresponding to the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars", Trump said before signing the memorandum.
    China reacted negatively to this decision of the White House. "The US actions do not meet the interests of the Chinese side, or the interests of the American side, or the interests of the whole world, becoming a bad precedent. In any case, the Chinese side will not be indifferent to seeing how its legitimate interests are damaged, we are fully prepared to defend our interests in a resolute manner", the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement.
    The increased threat of the beginning of world trade wars, provoked by US protectionist actions, contributed to a sharp drop in world stock indices.
    Investors also sold the dollar, moving funds into defensive assets, such as the franc, yen, gold.
    On Tuesday, the dollar and major US stock indexes are rising. The optimism of investors is fueled by reports that high-ranking representatives of the United States and China are negotiating to resolve the recent contradictions in the trade relations between the two countries.
    The chief economic adviser to the Chairman of the People's Republic of China, Liu He, met with representatives of American companies and other representatives of the business community, counting on the resumption of the dialogue. Chairman of the State Council of China Li Keqiang on Monday evening reaffirmed Beijing's readiness to continue negotiations with the US in order to resolve the contradictions in trade and reach a mutually beneficial result.
    The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.8% on Monday to 24200.00 points, the S&P 500 grew 2.7% to 2660.00 points, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 3.3% to 7220.00 points. On Tuesday, the recovery of indices continues.
    If China and the US come to an agreement that suits both sides, then the recovery of the indices will continue. Otherwise, the stock markets are waiting for another collapse. Trade wars have not brought long-term benefits to anyone, although, in the short term, a party that introduces protectionist measures can gain advantages in trade.
    For today, the economic calendar is empty. The dynamics in financial markets is currently determined by the situation in the US trade relations with their largest trade and economic partners.

    Brent: price growth may soon resume
    28/03/2018
    Current dynamics

    According to the American Petroleum Institute (API) data, which was published Tuesday night, US oil inventories rose 5.3 million barrels last week. The reserves of gasoline decreased by 5.8 million barrels, and the reserves of distillates decreased by 2.2 million barrels.
    Investors drew attention to the growth of oil reserves, and its quotes decreased.
    Today Brent crude oil is trading in a narrow range near the $ 69.00 per barrel mark, pending the publication at 14:30 (GMT) of official data from the US Department of Energy on oil and petroleum products in the US. Some analysts of the oil market expect an increase in commercial oil reserves in the US, by 1.4 million barrels in the week of March 17-23.
    Other analysts expect the stock to decline by 0.287 million barrels. Given the data previously provided by the American Petroleum Institute (API), it is likely that stocks have grown.
    While OPEC is making efforts to reduce oil production, the US successfully took advantage of the situation and increased oil production, including shale oil. As you know, the OPEC agreement on the reduction of oil production by about 1.8 million barrels per day was signed in 2016 and will continue until the end of 2018.
    And now, as it became known from media reports last week, OPEC intends next year to continue joint efforts to reduce the supply of oil.
    Another positive factor for oil prices and the argument for further price growth may be the prospect of the US withdrawing from the international agreement on the Iranian nuclear program concluded in 2015.
    Iran is the largest supplier of oil, possessing about 10% of all the world's proven oil reserves. And if sanctions are imposed on Iran again, the country will not be able to supply oil to the world market, which inevitably entails a decrease in the world supply of oil and, consequently, a rise in prices for it.
    Even despite the growth of oil production in the US, the world oil supply will not be able to cover the demand for it in this case.
    As the UAE energy minister Suhail Al-Mazrui, who is the OPEC president at the present time, said last month that OPEC is "more concerned about the supply shortage than its surplus".
    There is a high probability that the oil price rally may soon resume.

    USD/CAD: market participants are likely to prefer the US dollar on the eve of a long weekend
    29/03/2018
    Current dynamics

    "Economic prospects have strengthened in recent months", Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said last week. "Some factors confirm that the prospects for fiscal policy are becoming more stimulating, the continuing growth of jobs contributes to income and trust, foreign growth has been on a strong trajectory and the financial conditions as a whole remain mild".
    The dollar demonstrates a large-scale strengthening, which is caused by the successful advancement of negotiations between high-ranking representatives of the United States and China regarding trade relations between the two countries, expectations of further tightening of monetary policy in the US, and also by the continuing of receiving positive macro data from the US.
    So, on Wednesday the US Commerce Department published data according to which GDP in the 4th quarter was better than forecast and rose by 2.9% (the previous release indicated GDP growth of 2.5%, and the forecast was + 2.7%). .
    The report, published on Wednesday, also pointed to an increase in consumer spending in the 4th quarter, while investment by companies remained high. At the same time, investments in fixed assets of non-residents increased by 6.8% per annum. The growth leader was equipment costs, which grew by 11.6%.
    President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Rafael Bostic said on Wednesday that inflation is growing faster than some common indicators indicate, which gives the US central bank the opportunity to continue a gradual increase in interest rates.
    On Thursday, the market is demonstrating the sluggish trading dynamics. Traders prefer not to open new positions before the long weekend in connection with the celebration of Catholic Easter.
    It is likely that at the second half of the US session traders will also begin fixing long positions in the dollar, which will cause it to decline, unless, of course, the macro statistics published at 12:30 (GMT) on the US again surpass the market expectations and will not, therefore, support dollar. Among the data published at this time - indicators of personal income / expenditure, as well as the basic price index of personal consumption expenditure for February. The base price index is expected to grow by 1.6% (in annual terms) against + 1.5% in January. If the data is confirmed or will be better than the forecast, the dollar will resume growth.
    Weak indicators will have a negative impact on the dollar and may become a trigger for closing long positions in the dollar.
    Also at 12:30 (GMT) will be published data on Canada's GDP for January. Probably, GDP will grow by 0.1%, as well as in December. If the data prove to be better than the forecast, the Canadian currency will strengthen, including against the US dollar.
    With all other unaccounted-for conditions, market participants are likely to prefer the US dollar on the eve of a long weekend. European stock exchanges will be closed from March 30 to April 2, although the work of the forex market will remain unchanged.

    USD/CHF: ahead - Catholic Easter. The exchanges are closed.
    30/03/2018
    Current dynamics

    Today there is a low activity of traders. The volume of trading on the forex market even more fell with the beginning of the European session. In Catholic countries today is a day off (Good Friday). Stock and commodity exchanges in Europe, the United States, as well as in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada will be closed. Although forex and works in the usual mode, volatility and trading volumes will be restored only on Tuesday.
    Meanwhile, the dollar is declining from the opening of today's trading day against all major currencies, including against the franc. The dollar is not helped by the positive macro statistics released yesterday, according to which the price index of personal consumption expenditure (PCE) in February rose by 1.8% compared to the same period of the previous year and by 0.2% compared to the previous month. This Fed's preferred inflation indicator indicates that inflation in February rose and approaches the Fed's target level of 2%.
    President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and member of the FOMC Patrick Harker said on Thursday that, in view of the acceleration of inflation this year, it is necessary to raise the rates a total of three times, whereas previously he had forecast two increases.
    Harker expects that in the coming years inflation will slightly exceed the target level of 2%. "Trade taxes increase costs", - said Harker. New forecasts of the Fed's leaders published last week suggest higher economic growth, higher inflation and lower unemployment compared with the December forecasts. Heads of the Fed refer to the likely acceleration of economic growth due to changes in tax policy and increased federal spending.
    As you know, last week the leaders of the Fed unanimously voted to raise the key interest rate to a range of 1.5% -1.75% and outlined two more such increases this year.
    Investors expected to receive signals from the Fed for 4 rate hikes this year. However, this did not happen, and the dollar declined shortly after the Fed meeting, as 3 rate increases are already laid in the prices and quotes of the dollar.
    Concerns of investors is continued due to the cause increased risks of the emergence of world trade wars after the well-known steps of the US administration towards escalating the protectionist position and imposing restrictions on the importation of a number of foreign goods into the US.
    In this situation, investors prefer safe assets, such as the yen, gold and franc.
    Meanwhile, the Swiss franc also remains under pressure, despite its purchases as a safe haven. As you know, in mid-March, the Swiss National Bank left its negative interest rates unchanged. The deposit rate remained at the level of -0.75%, the range for the 3-month LIBOR rate also remained unchanged, between -1.25% and -0.25%. The NBS traditionally stated that the franc rate is still too high, which indicates that the NBS still intends to keep rates in the negative territory.
    "The bank still considers it necessary to have a negative interest rate and is ready to intervene in the foreign exchange market, if the situation requires it", the NBS said.
    Thus, the difference in the direction of monetary policy in the US and Switzerland is the most important argument in favor of the growth of the USD / CHF.

    S&P500: negative sentiment of investors
    02/04/2018
    Current dynamics

    The European stock and stock markets of Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong are still closed today on the occasion of the holiday (Catholic Easter).
    Asian indices fell on Monday amid tensions in world trade and concerns about the technology sector.
    The key index of the Shanghai Stock Exchange fell by 0.2% after the introduction of import tariffs; South Korean Kospi dropped 0.1%, Taiwan's Taiex declined 0.3%, Japanese Nikkei traded 0.3% lower.
    The Chinese authorities introduced reciprocal import duties on US agricultural products, including a 25% tariff on American pork and a 15% duty on fruit. In total 128 items of goods imported from the United States are in the restrictive list.
    As you know, President of the United States Donald Trump signed on March 9 an order to impose tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum. Fees for import of steel amounted to 25%, for imports of aluminum - 10%, because according to Washington, the import of steel and aluminum "threatens the national security" of the country.
    Then on March 22, the White House adopted a memorandum on imposing trade restrictions on Beijing in order to reduce the deficit in US trade with China, which "according to various estimates, was between $ 375 billion and $ 504 billion". In total, the amount of restrictions on Chinese imports will be $ 60 billion. In China, after this, the United States were warned against the "trade war".
    Investors are worried about the aggravation of trade relations between the US and China and have not yet decided what exactly this situation will turn out.
    It is likely that against the background of the decline in leading Asian stock indices today, the main US trading indices will also open on negative territory.
    News background today is meager. Negative mood of investors will be reflected in the decline of US indices at the opening of the American market. In full, the volatility and trading volumes on world financial markets will recover only on Tuesday.

    AUD/USD: there is no reason to change the current monetary policy
    03/04/2018
    Current dynamics

    As expected, the Reserve Bank of Australia left interest rates unchanged on Tuesday at 1.5%. Interest rates remain unchanged as a result of 18 meetings in a row. In the comments RBA adhered to the usual rhetoric. "Despite the improvement in the labor market, wage growth rates remain low, which is likely to continue for some time", said RBA Governor Philip Lowe. "Inflation is likely to remain weak, reflecting the slow growth in labor costs and high competition in the retail sector", Lowe said, adding that the RBA will not follow other central banks in the world that are prone to tightening policies. The country is expecting a weak wage growth, as well as low inflation, which means interest rates can remain unchanged for most of 2019, according to many economists.
    The Australian dollar rose against the US dollar after the publication of the RBA's decision on rates. Nevertheless, the negative trend of AUD / USD persists.
    The tension associated with the trade relations between China and the US will continue to put pressure on commodity currencies, including the Australian dollar. The threat of further protectionist measures by the US against other countries (especially China) is a risk to economic growth in the world. If tensions in foreign trade increase, it can slow global economic growth and lower demand and commodity prices, which, in turn, will negatively affect the quotations of commodity currencies.
    The key rate of the RBA remains at a record low of 1.5% for the RBA since mid-2016, and economists believe that the central bank will not change it after 2019. The reasons for changing the current monetary policy in the RBA are not seen, and this is the main negative factor for the Australian dollar, while other major world banks can start curtailing softening programs and raise interest rates.
    The different focus of monetary policy in the US and Australia will be the main most important long-term factor in favor of weakening the AUD / USD.
    For today, important economic news is no longer planned. The attention of investors will gradually switch to the publication on Friday of data on the US labor market for March. Strong data are expected. If there are no unexpected events in the world until Friday, then we should expect the strengthening of the US dollar.
