June 19, 2017 - Market Update (Macron win a huge potential for France, Fed speakers, US groceries shaking up, extreme long specs in EUR - a fall to come?)

Short recap

Asia up
Europe opening higher
China-Iran to conduct join naval practice in the Gulf
Iran firing over Syria
Trump doesn’t like Cuban salsa


Macron doesn’t need a coalition partner for important economic reforms
France has a huge potential if he delivers
PBOC made a huge CNY 110 bln OMO liquidity injection
Stating the declining liquidity after banks bought gov bonds (official statement)
Japan reported a surprise huge trade deficit on energy imports while exports made a fast jump on cars/steel
Fed’s Kaplan – Fed should be very cautious and patient in rising rates
Lots of speakers this week, let’s see whether others share the same hawkish view as Yellen does (check Data calendar below)
Macron, Schauble and now GE’s Zypries would welcome UK’s U-turn in Brexit

Equities

US groceries shaking on Amazon buying Whole Foods and Aldi entering the market
Is it going to end up for Wall-Mart as for Tesco in UK?
Do you like car makers? Watch for those with more exposure to China
As US auto sales to decline further on expiring leases pushing prices of used cars lower
Petrobras looking as an opportunity as it cuts debt but is still valued below industry average
Fiat-Chrysler exiting Japan?
Airbus upgraded its A380 to boost the sales

Bonds

10-yr Trys yield at 2.16% - still holding close to recent lows but the break of 2.10% would be critical for USD
10-yr Bund yield at 0.28%

COT report as of last Tue (pre-FOMC/ECB):
EUR long specs at 79k vs 74k week before
Highest since 2007
But bear in mind that any extreme is reverted to the mean in some time

Are we going to expect the same long specs reduction as we had witnessed in 2011/2014 ?



EURUSD

Support at 1.1187 (23.6% Fibo) then 1.1120/30
Resistance 1.1284, 1.1295/1.1300
Breaking 1.1100 or 1.1300 would definitely see strong flows and follow through

USDJPY

Likely heavy going to 111.50
Resistance at 111.24 (50.0% Fibo), then 111.32 and 112.16 Ichimoku
100 DMA at 111.85
Support at 110.50 (61.8% Fibo) and 110.71(200 DMA)
Descending trendline around 111.00

DXY

USD consolidation on halt?
To watch the US 10-yr yields breaking 2.10% or not
Need better US data to push real yields higher, so risky assets keep rising and financial conditions tightening
Close to resistance at 97.62, then 97.85 (50.0% Fibo)
And descending trendline around 97.98
Support at 97.02 (10 DMA)

Gold

Still under pressure post-FOMC
Support at 100 DMA at 1248, 1245 (61.8% Fibo)
200 DMA at 1237 and 1234 (76.4% Fibo)
Resistance at 1255 (50.0%)
