EUR/USD Approaches Important Support

Yesterday, EUR/USD hit new May’s lows. This week’s latest news contributed to the decline:

→ Germany’s GDP in Q1 2023 decreased by 0.3% compared to the previous three months. German media write about the official start of the recession.

→ The US economy in Q1 grew by 1.3% in annual terms.

→ Worrying opinions are spreading about a possible crisis due to the situation in the US housing market. According to JPMorgan analysts, the next shock to the US banking system could be loans for commercial real estate.

→ Traders see the dollar as a reliable asset in the face of the not yet raised US government debt ceiling.

The EUR/USD chart shows that the rate has already fallen by 3.3% from the peaks of May. The rate is approaching the psychological mark of USD 1.07 per euro, which may support the market.

US Debt Default Date Gets Nearer. Will the Dollar Retain Dominance over the Pound?

It’s all so predictable, isn’t it?

Politics and suspense go hand in hand, and when it comes to potential cracks in the economy and central monetary policy of the United States, the issuer of the world’s de facto reserve currency, that’s what keeps the markets going.

Over recent weeks, the global media and the US Federal Reserve have been engaging in a dance with each other, involving speculation and suspense in the advent of the United States government’s ability or otherwise to be able to maintain payments on its debt commitments after June 1 this year.

That date is now fast approaching, especially considering that today is a public holiday across many nations in Europe and North America, giving the reality of the outcome just two working days to make itself known.

Interestingly, very little impact has been felt by traders of the US Dollar, and today’s currency market shows no change in this dynamic.

Ordinarily, if one of the world’s most important and influential economies is about to become insolvent, the currency issued by its central bank would depreciate like an iron girder being thrown off a precipice.

In the case of the US Dollar, this has simply not been the case at all, and the US Dollar has continued its rise against other majors, especially the British Pound.

EURO STOXX 50 Hits 2-month Low

During the first 3 days of this week, the price of EURO STOXX 50 (SX5E) has fallen by more than 3%.

This was facilitated by:
→ lower oil prices on the eve of the OPEC+ meeting scheduled for June 4. The Saudi oil minister urged market speculators to "be careful”;
→ uncertainty about the US debt ceiling. While a deal has been tentatively reached, it has yet to be officially approved by the Senate. There are only a few hours left;
→ reduced shares of European companies producing luxury goods due to falling demand;
→ disappointing data from China (we wrote about it yesterday), with which Europe is actively trading.

NASDAQ 100 Overtakes Bitcoin

This is how prices for popular exchange-traded assets changed from March 1 to May 31:
→ The price of the NASDAQ 100 increased by almost 20%
→ The price of the S&P-500 increased by almost 6%
→ The price of gold increased by almost 7%
→ The price of bitcoin increased by almost 14%
→ The price of Ethereum increased by almost 12%

For a long time, cryptocurrencies were the leaders of the spring market, but in May, the NASDAQ-100 made a sharp leap upwards, thanks to the soaring of the NVDA share price and the hype around artificial intelligence (AI).

What will happen in summer?

According to Citigroup analysts, there is a risk that the rally in US technology stocks will end as investors want to take profits.

Perhaps the hype around AI will decrease, as its widespread adoption should take time. Barclays analysts note that past game-changing technologies took several decades to show up at the level of the entire economy. Take electricity, automobiles, and refrigeration, for example – US labor productivity skyrocketed in the 1950s, 3-4 decades after these technologies were introduced.

Market Analysis: AUD/USD Skyrockets

Since the beginning of yesterday’s trading session, the AUD/USD rate has increased by 1.7%. This is due to the difference in the monetary policies of the Fed and the RBA.

On the one hand, Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker said on Thursday that it was time to at least press the stop button for one meeting and see how it goes, referring to the June 13-14 meeting and the pause in a series of Fed’s interest rate hikes.

On the other hand, Australia raised the minimum wage by 5.75% from July 1, a decision that will affect the wages of 2 million people. This is an argument in favor of the fact that the RBA will continue to raise interest rates. The decision will be published on June 6th.

Market Analysis: “Black Monday” for Crypto Community

On June 5, it became known that the SEC filed a lawsuit against the largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance, collapsing the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Here is the essence of claims:

→ improper handling of customer funds,
→ misleading investors and regulators,
→ violation of the law on activities with "unregistered securities” — the stablecoins of the BUSD exchange, the native BNB token, as well as a number of cryptocurrencies.

In addition, a lawsuit was filed against the head of the Binance exchange, Changpeng Zhao, who hastened to reassure customers: do not give in to fears, the exchange continues its work.

Market Analysis: A Week of Important News in Full Swing

On Tuesday, Australia’s central bank raised interest rates from 3.85% to 4.10%. This is the highest value in 11 years. We wrote about the likelihood of this event in a post dated June 2. Speaking on June 7, bank governor Philip Lowe said: “We have been prepared to be patient […] but our patience has a limit, and the risks are starting to test these limits,” warning of a possible further rise in rates.

Also yesterday, rates in Canada were raised to 4.75%, a 22-year high. Strong consumer spending, a recovery in demand for services, an increase in housing activity and the situation in the labor market show that excess demand is more stable than expected, the central bank said in a statement. Reuters writes that experts predict another increase next month, aimed at slowing down the overheating economy and stubbornly high inflation.

BTC/USD Analysis: Test of an Important Breakout Amid Scary News

The cryptocurrency market is shaken by claims from the SEC.

→ Hearings are scheduled for June 14 on the SEC request to freeze Binance.US assets.
→ A division of Binance.US has drastically reduced the number of cryptocurrency pairs available for trading.
→ Coinbase does not see the risk of losing customers or banking partners; the exchange has more than $5 billion on its balance sheet, available to maintain operations and pay legal fees.

However, the bears were active near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the 1.1489 swing high to the 1.0479 low. The pair declined and revisited the 1.0600 support. It is again moving higher toward the 50-week simple moving average at 1.0920.

On the AUD/NZD chart, the pair could struggle to surpass 1.0920 and 1.0985. Only a successful daily close above 1.0985 might start a strong increase. The next major resistance sits near the 1.1100 level.

On the downside, the first major support is near a key bullish trend line at 1.0600. The next major support is near the 1.0300 level, below which the pair may perhaps extend its decline toward the 1.0150 level. Any more losses might call for a move toward the 1.0000 level.
