The USD tended to remain supported on Friday as the release of the Core PCE price index showed that inflationary pressures were still strong in the US economy for January. The relative rates accelerated both on a month-on-month as well as on a year-on-year level surpassing the market’s expectations, intensifying the expectations that the Fed is to maintain an aggressive, hawkish stance in order to curb inflationary pressures in the US economy. On the flip side, US stock markets dropped maintaining their bearish movement, as also did gold’s price pressured by the strengthening of the USD. At this point we would also like to note on a fundamental level, our worries for possible further escalation in the tensions in the US-Sino relationships given China’s involvement in the war in Ukraine, which could hurt riskier assets and the Aussie in particular. In the UK we highlight on a fundamental level the developments regarding Brexit and note that UK PM Rishi Sunak is to meet with EU chief Ursula Von der Leyen, to discuss a new Brexit deal which is to be followed by the relative statements and could shake the pound.
GBP/USD edged lower aiming for the 1.1925 (S1) support line. The RSI indicator is near the reading of 30 implying a bearish sentiment of the market for cable, yet for a bearish outlook we would require a clear breaking of the S1. Yet should the bears be actually in charge, we would expect GBP/USD not only to break the 1.1925 (S1) support line but also to aim if not reach the 1.1740 (S2) support level. Should the bulls take over we may see cable reversing course, breaking the 1.2115 (R1) resistance line, paving the way for the 1.2270 (R2) resistance level.
AUD/USD continued to drop breaking the 0.6720 (R1) support line, now turned to resistance. We tend to maintain a bearish outlook for the pair currently, given that the RSI indicator is below the reading of 30 and a downward trendline dictates the pair’s movement. Should the selling interest be maintained, we may see AUD/USD breaking the 0.6625 (S1) support line aiming for even lower grounds. Should the pair find fresh buying orders we may see AUD/USD reversing course, breaking the prementioned upward trendline, the 0.6720 (R1) resistance line and aim for the 0.6800 (R2) resistance level.
