July 7, 2017 - Market Update (Good NFPs may trigger collapse in bonds/stocks, EZ stocks under pressure from higher yields/EUR, BoJ buying and buying, ECB not respecting allocation key, thus pushing core yields/EUR higher, EUR - make it through 1.1500 or ? Berkhsire to buy Oncor, Celgene/BeiGene to cooperate)

Short recap

Asia in red
Europe opening lower
Flash crash in Silver
Trump to meet with Putin


Very good US NFPs numbers may trigger collapse in bonds and stocks
As the risk of rising rates further will all implications will be higher
ECB Minutes with some tightening of financial conditions

Central Banks’ Reversals Signal the End of One Era and the Beginning of Another (Bridgewater CIO)  link

Equities

EZ stocks under pressure from higher rates and stronger EUR (like capital/debt intensive utilities)
But banks/financials doing well
In general financials (higher profits), health care (defensive play), consumer staples and techs (low debt) generally doing better
China pushing GM, Mercedes and Volkswagen to recall vehicles with air bags produced by Takata
Volvo selling 25% stake in Deutz
Berkshire to buy Oncor (utility)
Microsoft to cut 30k jobs (mostly outside US)

Axis Capital to buy Lloyd’s Novae
EU to fine Merck, GE and Canon
Celgene and BeiGene agree on tumor cancer treatment cooperation

Bonds

BoJ to purchase an unlimited amount of 10-yr bonds at 0.11% yield
10-yr Trys yield at 2.39% vs 2.33% yesterday morning
10-yr Bund yield at 0.57% vs 0.47% yesterday morning

Broke an important 0.50% level, next is 0.60% and 1.00%
Looks like the move higher in core EZ bond yields comes from ECB
As it has not purchased assets fully in line with allocation key
What in turn supports EUR
Higher gov bond yields represent a risk for bonds with long durations and EM as such

EURUSD

Bounced off the pivot 1.1300 (post election high)
As mentioned on Monday getting way over 1.1600 not sustainable
Trading right below strong resistance from descending trendline and 1.1445, then 1.1615 high
If above resistances are broken we can eventually get ready for a move towards 1.2000/1.2500
With first target at 1.1714 (1.1750)
In order to look at 1.1580 need get through 1.1450

On the top of very strong resistance range
1.1400, 1.1344 (38.2% hourly Fibo) and 10 DMA at 1.1365 providing some support
But bear in mind that financing long EURUSD positions is pretty expensive swap wise

USDJPY

Pretty resilient in risk off mood
Broke descending trendline
Resistance at 114.36 high
Support at 113.05 (76.4% Fibo)

Gold

Getting support from geopolitical risks
Support at 1214 low
Resistance at 1231 (200 DMA), 1234 (76.4% Fibo) and rising trendline
