    Dax Index Adds 10 New Companies Ahead of the German Federal Elections



    September 2021 will remain in history as the month when the German Dax index undergoes the biggest reform in its existence. Starting with September 20th, ten new companies will be added to the Dax index, and so the number of its constituents increases from 30 to 40.

    One of the reasons cited for the change in the Dax is the need to add new companies that reflect the new economy. Truth be said, the Dax had underperformed its peers for some time now. For example, the S&P 500 index outperformed the German Dax index, and so did other indices in the United States.


    The ten companies to be added to the Dax index are “promoted” from the MDAX. MDAX is an index tracking middle-sized businesses in Germany, and by adding the new companies, the number of constituents in the Dax increases, while the one in the MDAX decreases.

    Puma, Zalando, or Airbus, are some of the names known by the general public that will be added to the Dax. Some other ones, not so popular, are equally important – Symrise, Sartorius, Qiagen.

    Will the changes make the Dax index more attractive to investors? It remains to be seen.

    Euro Traders Prepare for the German Federal Elections

    The federal elections in the United States are scheduled on September 26th, and the market participants are aware that this is the main event in the Euro area for the rest of the year. The importance of it cannot be understated – Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, will not be candidate, as she ends a long-lasting political career.


    With only two weeks until the elections, the SPD, or the socialists, are rising in polls. Olaf Scholz, their leader, is now viewed as the one with the biggest chances to win the German Chancellor position. If the socialists do win, it will mark a change in the German leadership, and the markets embrace for changes in the fiscal space too.

    All in all, an interesting September lies ahead for traders monitoring events in Germany. Because the German economy is the largest in the Eurozone, what happens in Germany will affect the common currency, the euro.

    It is now consolidating near the 1.1800 level and the 50 hourly simple moving average. An immediate resistance is near the 1.1820 level. The main resistance is still forming near the 1.1840 and 1.1850 levels. A clear break above the 1.1850 resistance could push EUR/USD towards 1.1900.

    On the downside, the 1.1800 level is a major support. Any more losses might lead EUR/USD towards the 1.1750 support zone in the near term. The next major support sits near the 1.1720 level.

    US Dollar Flexing Muscles Ahead Of The Fed’s Decision



    The US dollar ended the previous week with a bang, rising to new heights and outpacing its main peers. The new trading week saw a continuation of this march of triumph.

    Meanwhile, investors are preparing for what may prove to be the Fed meeting of the year. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce the tapering of its asset purchases, a move already communicated to markets via its forward guidance model.

    Yet, even with this information in mind, it is quite hard to predict the market’s reaction. One of the things that bring uncertainty is the dot plot.


    Fed members are required to project the federal funds rate for the years ahead. The sum of their forecast is displayed on a chart in the form of dots. The number of rate hikes and, more importantly, their timing is what affects the way the financial markets move. Should the Fed members reveal an unexpected hawkish outlook, the dollar may grow even stronger.

    Risk-Off Sentiment Dominates

    Ahead of the Fed’s meeting and outcome announcement, a risk-off sentiment seems to be dominating the markets. Evergrande, a Chinese property developer, is on the verge of collapsing, and the government has no intention to bail the company out. The big question for financial market participants is: Will the collapse of Evergrande have an impact on the international financial system, or will it end up being a local event?

    In any case, part of the US dollar’s strength rides on the back of lower equities in the States. Moreover, futures markets are showing renewed weakness at the start of the trading week, so the dollar's growth prospects are good.

    All in all, this trading week will be packed with political events (i.e., Canadian and German federal elections) and central banks’ decisions (i.e., Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan, Bank of England, Swiss National Bank, etc.). In other words, volatility is guaranteed to reach new record levels.

    Natural Gas Prices Soar To New Heights. What Is Driving the Climb?



    One of the sharpest rallies in 2021 is taking place in the commodities market. Natural gas, seen below as XNGUSD, has doubled in price since late May, and the bullish run may continue into the winter season as it is about to start in the Northern Hemisphere.

    Before discussing some of the reasons why natural gas has entered an uptrend, let’s look at the technical state of things. Below is the daily timeframe of the XNGUSD pair which tracks the price of natural gas in US dollars.


    The bullish run started in 2020 as the market made a double bottom within the $1.50 area. By the end of 2020, the price action stalled, and consolidation began. A contracting triangle finally acted as a continuation pattern, and the bullish breakout that followed led to the sharp rally mentioned above.

    Why Is Natural Gas Rallying?

    Different countries charge different prices for natural gas, but now, the prices have one thing in common: they are rising all over the world. In Europe, for example, the natural gas price jumped to record levels, driven by factors such as Russian supply bottlenecks or lack of wind in the UK.


    The trend is likely to continue because natural gas is used for electricity generation, plus winter is coming soon. Additionally, Russia announced recently that it wouldn’t increase gas supply to Europe, so the pressure on higher prices remains.

    Let’s not forget that rising demand from Asian economies drives the price higher as well. As the post-COVID-19 economic recovery continues, the higher demand will result in more bottlenecks and shortages.

    In the UK, the situation is dire, too. The country uses 40% natural gas to meet its energy demands. This week, the UK natural gas wholesale price settled at the highest-ever closing level. If we transform the price of natural gas expressed in mBtu (i.e., million British thermal units) into oil equivalent, we get $150 per barrel of oil.

    All in all, while the rally in the natural gas price is nothing short of impressive, we may see more of the same in the months to come. As winter reaches the Northern Hemisphere, the pressure on natural gas prices remains elevated.
