Fed Chair Powell stated on Friday that despite the Core PCE rates for February being “in line with our expectations”, the Fed doesn’t “need to be in a hurry to cut” which could be received as relatively hawkish in nature and may support the USD. In our opinion, we tend to agree with Fed Chair Powell that the Core PCE rates for February, appear to have been ‘favourable’ in implying easing inflationary pressures in the US economy. Yet, some caution about the risks of persistent inflationary pressures in the US economy appears to persist. Over in Asia, China’s NBS Manufacturing PMI figure for March came in better than expected at 50.8, implying an expansion in China’s manufacturing industry. The better-than-expected figure appears to have spurred optimism in regards to China’s economic recovery and as such may have provided support for the CNY and AUD given their close economic ties.
On a technical level, EUR/USD appears to be moving in a downwards fashion. We maintain a bearish outlook for the pair and supporting our case is the downwards moving trendline which was incepted on the 26a. of March, in addition to the RSI indicator below our chart which currently registers a figure near 40, implying bearish market tendencies. For our bearish outlook to continue, we would require a clear break below the 1.0745 (S1) support level, with the next possible target for the bears being the 1.0665 (S2) support line. On the flip side, for a sideways bias, we would like to see the pair remain confined between the 1.0745 (S1) support level and the 1.0805 (R1) resistance line. Lastly, for a bullish outlook we would require a clear break above the 1.0805 (R1) resistance line with the next possible target for the bulls being the 1.0865 (R2) resistance level.
XAU/USD appears to be moving in an upwards fashion, having formed a new all time high earlier on today at $2265 per ounce. We maintain a bullish outlook for the precious metal and supporting our case is the RSI indicator below our chart which currently registers a figure near 80 implying a strong bullish market sentiment, in addition to our upwards moving trendline which was incepted on the 22a. of March. However, we should note that the RSI indicator, could also imply that the precious metal could be in overbought territory and may be due a market correction to lower ground. Nonetheless, for our bullish outlook to continue, we would require a clear break above the 2265 (R1) resistance level, with the next possible target for the bulls being the 2298 (R2) resistance line. On the other hand, for a sideways bias, we would like to see the precious metal remain confined between the 2222 (S1) support level and the 2265 (R1) resistance line. Lastly, for a bearish outlook we would require a clear break below the 2222 (S1) support level, with the next possible target for the bears being the 2188 (S2) support line.
