June 5, 2017 - Market Update

Short recap

Asia mixed
Europe opening higher


Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Bahrain cutting diplomatic ties with Qatar over support of Iran (Islamic Brotherhood and Hamas)
Pushing oil more than 1% higher
All of that coming after Trump’s visit and security threats (banning travellers or notebooks on the planes)
Russia sees oil down to USD 40

UK – attacks and risk of no majority government increasing
It may weight on GBP as UK heads towards weaker government mandate
ECB’s Visco – Italy down most in 10 years
High debt because of low growth but still the average Italian household is wealthier the German one
Fed on track for June hike after weaker Friday’s NFPs but further hikes in question
Unless we see a pick up in inflation and Trump coming with positive fiscal news
Trump to come up with Dodd Frank revamp on Tuesday
But the reality is he doesn’t have enough votes in Congress to push it through

Equities

Investindustrial and Alibaba likely to submit a join bid for The Body Shop from L’Oreal
Blackstone selling Logicor to China Investment Corp (EUR 12.25 bln)

EURUSD

Resistance at 1.1284, 1.1300 (big level), 1.1355/65and 1.14/15/1600 range
Should see lots of hesitation ahead of 1.1300
Support at 1.1213 (10 DMA), 1.1200 and 1.1179 (23.6% Fibo)
New trading range 1.1000-1.1500 ?
Morgan Stanley switching from end year 0.97 level for EURUSD to 1.1800
On strong data, political stability, valuations and equity market inflows
A very nice switch…

US yields taking the cross lower
Support at 200 DMA at 110.34, 110.10 (Ichimoku) and 109.60 (76.4% Fibo)
Bids sitting ahead of 110.00, with stops below
Resistance at 110.50 (61.8% Fibo), heavy level
New trading range 108.00-112.00 ?

GBPJPY - With GBP under pressure and strong JPY double whammy  possible here... looking for lower levels



AUDJPY - Are bears controlling the market?
