An exhange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 Index jumped in late trading after Apple Inc. crushed revenue estimates and Facebook Inc. reported gains in sales and users.

Stocks ended the cash session lower after a back-and-forth day.

The S&P 500 reached a session high after Jerome Powell said the central bank is not considering cutting back on asset purchases that have helped the economy recover from the pandemic. Treasuries rose after the Fed kept interest rates at zero and policy makers strengthened their view of the economy.

Here are three takeaways of Fed Chairman speaking and FOMC statement:

1. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues upgraded their assessment of the U.S. economy but said they were not yet ready to consider scaling back pandemic support.

2. The recovery has been faster than expected but “it remains uneven and far from complete” and the economy “is a long way from our goals.” U.S. central bankers repeated they would not change the pace of bond buying until “substantial further progress”.

3. The statement also noted that sectors hit hardest by the Covid-19 pandemic had “shown improvement.” And on the risk of prices rising, policy makers said: “Inflation has risen, largely reflecting transitory factors.”

        

Main Pairs Movement:

The dollar slid to session lows Wednesday as the Federal Reserve signaled risks to the economy from the coronavirus have abated and left the current pace of asset purchases unchanged. Resource-linked currencies led gains, with the Canadian dollar hitting the highest level since 2018 as a key gauge of commodities touched a fresh almost three-year high.

Among G-10 peers, the Norwegian krone, New Zealand, and Canadian dollars led gains. EUR/USD trading +0.3% at 1.2124 in the day as European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde says the region is probably past the peak of the third wave of coronavirus infections, but there are still downside risks in near term.

ECB’s response to the crisis has proven efficient; euro area still needs monetary, fiscal stimulus. ECB is closely watching exchange rate’s impact on inflation.

Daily Market Analysis

Market Focus

U.S. technology stocks fell as investors turned their attention to a batch of earnings from industry heavyweights that have helped drive the market to all-time highs.

The Nasdaq 100 dropped for the first time in three sessions, weighed down by declines in tech heavyweights including Tesla Inc. and Alphabet Inc. The S&P 500 closed little changed after swinging between gains and losses throughout the day. United Parcel Service Inc. soared to a record after beating Wall Street’s profit estimates.

Tesla ended a two-day streak of gains after its results failed to impress investors. 3M Co. was the biggest drag on the Dow Jones Industrial Average after it warned that higher costs for raw materials and transportation is a worsening threat. Google parent Alphabet climbed more than 4% post market, erasing its cash-session decline after profit and revenue exceeded Wall Street’s expectations. Microsoft Corp. reversed a gain and dropped 3.5% after reporting revenue that missed the highest analysts’ estimates.

While the earnings season has been generally strong so far, investors may be waiting for more robust beats to fan the next move higher. Four out of five S&P 500 companies that have released results have either met or beaten expectations. On average, shares have gained less than 0.1% after the reports, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Meanwhile, U.S. data this week are expected to show growth accelerated to an annualized 6.8% in the first quarter. A Conference Board measure Tuesday showed consumer confidence reached the highest since February 2020 as Americans grew more upbeat about the economy and job market.

                 

Main Pairs Movement:

The dollar advanced while U.S. 10-year yields touched the highest level in a week as Federal Reserve policy makers began a two-day meeting with a decision Wednesday that may provide insight into their views on tapering asset purchases. The Canadian dollar slipped from the highest level in five weeks as traders await comments Tuesday from the central bank governor.

Among Group-of-10 peers, the Norwegian krone and pound led gains; the Australian and New Zealand dollars were among the laggards. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield climbed as much as 5.9bps to 1.63%

The divergence in sentiment for the euro as shown by its volatility skew has reached levels seen only a handful of times in data going back to 2006. The spread between one-year and nine-month risk reversals is trading around 40 basis points in favor of the longer-term puts.

          

Technical Analysis:

EURUSD (4 hour Chart)

EURUSD consecutive two days slightly move in the day market which gird in tiny horizontal channel, trading at 1.2088 as of writing. Euro dollar bounced back but under 1.21 from intraday low of 1.2060 while investor awaiting ECB chairman speaking, FOMC statement and Fed interest rate decision. For RSI side, indicator shows 58 which suggest a upward momentum ahead of. On average price aspect, 15 and 60-long SMAs are retaining an ascending trend.

In the lights of aforemetional suggestion, we still expect market maintain bull movement at current stage. It is one thing worthnoting that there has a solid threshold at 1.21. In additional, market could face a tumultuous as central bank governor speaking and any decision.

Resistance: 1.2106

Support: 1.2071, 1.199, 1.192

For RSI side, indicator is locating at 66 figure, suggesting a bull move at short run. On the other hand, yen jumped significantly that drove 15-long SMA indicator turn to upward way and 60-long remaining a slightly move.

At current stage, yen stand above the month-long neckline at 108.37 level as recovery from days ago low. Therefore, we believe market has potential upward indication. However, we see the market momentum was pick up too rapidly in short term that probably will induce some take-profit trade from long position.

Resistance: 108.93, 109.22

Support: 108.37, 107.936

For RSI side, indicator record 34 figure which suggest a downward sentiment in short term. On moving average side, both SMA indicator are retaining downside movement.

Integrity all spots, we consist our yesterday view that loonie could cling at current stage, at 1.238 level, to waiting other strong bearish signal like greenback devaluation or loose statement from central bank. Moreover, pan-commodities price rising will appreciate for loonie as well.

Resistance: 1.246, 1.2491, 1.2587

U.S. equities climbed to a record high amid solid corporate earnings and confidence that the Federal Reserve will remain accommodative even as robust growth takes the world’s largest economy back to pre-pandemic levels.

The S&P 500 rose after notching its first weekly decline since mid-March. Most of the main 11 industry groups gained, with energy and consumer-discretionary shares jumping the most. Small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 outperformed the broader market. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield hovered around its 50-day moving average. Copper, seen as a barometer of growth, surged to the highest in a decade.

Investors this week will focus on corporate earnings and U.S. economic data even as the Fed primes them to expect no change to policy at their two-day meeting ending Wednesday. While emerging economies from India to Brazil are grappling with a Covid-19 surge or renewed curbs, the developed world is on a firmer recovery path with a faster pace of vaccination.

Data on Thursday may show U.S. gross domestic product increased at a 6.9% annualized pace from January through March after a more moderate 4.3% rate in the previous quarter. Other reports this week may show a pickup in consumer confidence and robust personal spending. Recent indicators cemented economic optimism, with durable-goods orders rebounding in March and output at manufacturers and service providers reaching a record high in April.

European stocks advanced Monday, as gains for banks and travel companies offset losses for food companies and utilities. The dollar was little changed after initially falling to a two-month low. It was still on course for the biggest monthly drop this year.

             

Main Pairs Movement:

The Canadian dollar touched a five-week high, while the Australian dollar topped all Group-of-10 peers Monday, as a key index of commodities climbed to the highest since June 2018. A gauge of the dollar hit the lowest in two months as the Federal Reserve is set to begin a two-day meeting that ends Wednesday with a decision that could provide clues on its tapering stance.

Among G-10 peers, the Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars outperformed amid a surge in copper and iron ore prices; the yen and euro led losses.

EUR/USD -0.1%; earlier climbed to 1.2117, the highest since Feb. 26. Short-dated risk reversals ease with gamma around EUR2.6 billion of 1.20 strikes and EUR2 billion of 1.19 strikes rolling off Wednesday.

AUD/USD advanced 0.8% to 0.7803; NZD/USD rose 0.5% to 0.7238. Pair likely capped by ~AUD1.1 billion of 0.7830 options expiring Tuesday, according to DTCC data. GBP/USD +0.2%; rose as much as 0.4% to 1.3929; a move through 1.40 is likely.

AUDUSD (4 Hour Chart)

Aussie dollar has remians on upward track to post strong daily gains around 0.78 level which amid weakness greenback and benefit by booming commodities price as it commodities-linked characteristic.

On average price view, 15 and 60-long SMAs indicator are both sprawling upward trend.

Overall, we expect market still have room for upper side if greenback remaining weak\ness and rising price of commodities marketplace. Elsewhere, we see there has a strong resistance in short distance on 0.783 around. Moreover, unstopable bullish sentiment will drive RSI too quick to over bought threholds that might spur some sell-off order to the market.

Resistance: 0.783

Support: 0.775, 0.7695, 0.7656

         

USDCAD (Daily Chart)

Just like other commodities-linked currencies, loonie also driven by weakness greenback and inflation expectation of commodities market.

For RSI perspective, indicator has drop to 30 figure which pretty close to over sought barrier. Moreover, 15 and 60-long SMAs indicator have death cross in recently day.

Integrity all spots, we foresee market will reverse currently movement in short term as trigger the critical support level. On slip side, if market sucessive tamp down over nadir level, there will extend the plummet momentum and sentiment because there lack of a price cluster support.

U.S. stocks had their biggest slide in five weeks after President Joe Biden was said to propose almost doubling the capital-gain tax for the wealthy. The dollar advanced.

The S&P 500 turned lower after Bloomberg News reported that for those earning $1 million or more, the new top rate, coupled with an existing surtax on investment income, means that federal tax rates for rich investors could be as high as 43.4%. Speculation arose that some traders may sell shares before any change is made to capture the lower rate.

Equities whipsawed throughout the session amid mixed economic data and renewed concern the pandemic was worsening. All major groups in the S&P 500 fell, led by material, energy and tech shares. AT&T Inc. jumped after beating earnings estimates. Intel Corp. — the biggest chipmaker — slid in afterhours trading as it reported a drop in data-center revenue and a steep slump in gross profit margin.

Elsewhere, Bitcoin declined for the sixth time in seven days, extending losses after the higher capital gains proposal was revealed. Investors already face a capital-gains tax if they hold the cryptocurrency for more than a year.

         

Main Pairs Movement:

The dollar rose as reports of President Joe Biden considering almost doubling the capital gains tax rate weighed on risk appetite, with U.S. stocks headed for worst day in four weeks. The euro slipped after the European Central Bank confirmed that it was not yet discussing a phase-out of its emergency bond purchases. U.S. 10-year bond yields slid for a third day, edging lower to 1.55%; U.S. stocks headed for their biggest drop since mid-March.

Here are the takeaways from the ECB decision and news conference.

1.The ECB kept policy steady as widely expected, confirming that the latest incoming information pointed to a continued need for “significantly higher” emergency bond purchases

2. Pressed on whether the last weeks’ purchase figures really constituted a “significant” increase, President Christine Lagarde stressed the focus must be on monthly numbers, rather than weekly

3. She also said it would be premature to discuss phasing out the crisis tool, and offered a downbeat assessment of the short-term risks to the economy. A number of analysts expect buying to slow again in the third quarter

4. Lagarde highlighted that she doesn’t see the ECB and the U.S. Federal Reserve moving in tandem, as the two economies are “not on the same page”

5. Market moves were limited, with the euro erasing a gain to trade around 1.2026 versus the dollar; German and Italian bonds also reversed earlier

USD/JPY is little changed at 108.09, dropped as much as 0.2% as Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike sought to reimpose a state of emergency. NZD/USD sinks 0.8% to 0.7159 to be the worst performer in G10. The kiwi’s decline was led by sales against the Aussie, according to an Asia-based FX trader. AUD/NZD snapped a three-day drop to rise 0.1%.

             

Technical Analysis:

EURUSD (4 Hour Chart)

The European Central Bank had a monetary policy meeting. As widely anticipated, European policy makers decided to leave rate unchanged. President of ECB said it would be premature to discuss phasing out the crisis tool, and pessimitic assessment of the short-run risks to the economy. On the technical side, RSI indicator has fallen below neutral line to 49.7 figure as of writing, suggesting a shred of bearish movement. On the other hands, 15-long SMA indicator turn side to south way but 60-long SMA indicator remain north way.

On price action, it is obvious that euro dollar attain a strong downside support after correction to 1.199 level couple times. As the mixed information, we foresee market still have a north side chance. However, poor indicator suggestion is pinning the marketplace. Therefore, 1.19 is still vital first support level which need immediately to be defended. If penetrate downward further, 1.192 will be the next support level.

Resistance: 1.2071, 1.2106

Support: 1.199, 1.192, 1.1877

Reuters reported that “Brititsh manufacturing’s expectations of an economic rebound rose to highest since 1973 this month as the country begain recovery from COVID-19 pandemic”. However, we need to faint wary of UK PM was warning the next pandemic wave probably forthcoming.

For RSI side, indicator has drop to 37.8 figures, suggesting a bearish momentum ahead. On price average perspective, 15-long SMA turn negative slope whilst 60-long SMA retain upward movement. Currently, we see price has plummeted over the former critical support level at 1.39 which is neckline of previous double bottom. Therefore, we expect market will choppy in a tiny range between first resistance and support gauge. On slid way, if consecutive go down after 1.3822 level, it could induce continuosly downward movement.

Resistance: 1.4, 1.3959, 1.39

U.S. stocks fell for a second day as rising virus cases around the world led to renewed concern over the continued economic impact, overshadowing a batch of solid corporate results.

The S&P 500 extended its slide from an all-time high, with investors showing caution ahead of the brunt of the earnings season. All eyes will be on whether an anticipated rise in profits will bring with it forecasts for stronger growth ahead. International Business Machines Corp. climbed after reporting its largest revenue growth in 11 quarters, while United Airlines Holdings Inc. paced a selloff in travel stocks on a bigger-than-expected loss. Netflix Inc. plunged in post market trading as its first-quarter subscriber growth fell short of the average analyst estimate.

While American equities are trading at a valuation that’s about 35% above the average of the past decade, investors are focused on what’s forecast to be the best earnings season in two years. One of their biggest concerns is whether companies are equipped to handle mounting inflation pressures as the economic recovery gains momentum.
