The FOMC’s January meeting minutes stated that “several participants mentioned the risk that financial conditions were or could become less restrictive than appropriate, which could add undue momentum to aggregate demand and cause progress on inflation to stall”, implying that Fed officials may be concerned about cutting rates to early. Yet the market reaction appears to have been relatively insignificant, despite the possibility of the Fed maintaining interest rates at their current levels for a longer time period. On another note, the comments made that “participants observed that risks to the banking system had receded notably since last spring, though they noted vulnerabilities at some banks that they assessed warranted monitoring”, are particularly concerning and warrant closer attention in the future. In the US Equities markets, we note that Nvidia (#NVIDIA) beat market earnings expectations, with revenue coming at $22.19B and EPS at $5.16. The better-than-expected earnings report may have alleviated some downward pressures placed on the NASDAQ index and could have supported the company’s stock price. However, it appears that the statements made in the company’s earnings call that growth was strong in all regions except China, which may spark concerns about future revenue.
EUR/USD appears to be moving in an upwards fashion after having broken above resistance turned support at the 1.0795 (S1) level. We maintain a bullish outlook for the pair and supporting our case is the upwards moving trendline which was incepted on the 14a. of February, in addition to the RSI indicator below our chart which currently registers a figure near 70, implying a bullish market sentiment. For our bullish outlook to continue we would like to see a clear break above the 1.0890 (R1) resistance line, with the next possible target for the bulls being the 1.0985 (R2) resistance level. On the other hand, for a sideways bias, we would like to see the pair remain confined between the 1.0795 (S1) support level and the 1.0890 (R1) resistance line. Lastly, for a bearish outlook, we would like to see a break below the 1.0795 (S1) support level, with the next possible target for the bears being the 1.0697 (S2) support base.
