Weak jobs and low PPI lift stocks
BY Janne Muta
|July 14, 2023The dollar continued lower and tech stocks rallied due to lower-than-expected US CPI and PPI figures. They followed weaker-than-anticipated job growth. Weaker hiring combined with lower inflation means the Fed is not likely to keep hiking rates after the July meeting. Although there are some signs of the dollar stabilizing against the yen it is still in a downtrend against the major rivals.
Recent data from China, showing a significant 12.4% year-over-year decline in Chinese exports for June, suggests that US inflation is likely to continue its downward trend. This drop represents the largest decline since early 2020. The decrease in Chinese exports can be attributed to the high cost of living, which poses challenges for consumers in Western nations to spend. As a result, the reduced demand for goods and services impacts Chinese exports.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has announced its next governor: Deputy Governor Michele Bullock. Apart from media attention, the news didn’t impact the AUD significantly. Her appointment is seen as a gradual change in policymaking rather than a revolutionary shift.
DAX
Dax has been rallying strongly higher. Now the market is trading near a key resistance level (16 210) and has lost some momentum. If the level is penetrated decisively, Dax might trade to 16 400 while a failure to penetrate the level would be likely to result in more weakness. This could take the market down to 16 000.
S&P 500
S&P 500 is bullish above 4488. Below the level, the market could move down to 4460. The nearest major resistance level is at 4636. The market is, however, trading at a bull channel top which could slow the rally down.
Nasdaq
Nasdaq is bullish above 15 500. Below the level, Nasdaq could move to 15 450. Above 15 500 the nearest important resistance level is at 15 850 (the bull channel high). At the time of writing this, the nearest key support level is at 15 540.
EURUSD
EURUSD is bullish above 1.1110 but quite extended (far from this support) at the moment. Therefore the USD short trade could be getting crowded. Below the 1.1110 level, the market could move to 1.1040. If the market remains bullish a move to 1.1280 could be likely.
