FX next week: EUR/USD vs US Dollar Index

Brian Twomey Brian's Investment

The currency market problem this week was DXY to remain trading in deep overbought territory and to trade a tiny 66 pip range from 104.60 to 103.94. DXY highs sent GBP/USD and EUR/USD to depths of massive oversold. USD/JPY began the week overbought and remains overbought at 148.00's.

The positive to DXY shorts is current 104.00's bumps against EUR/USD at upper 105.00's. The last DXY vs EUR/USD crossover occurred in 2002 / 2003. Markets contain a minimal chance for another crossover and DXY to trade 106.00's and 107.00's.

The question to a possible crossover involves lower Inflation and lower Oil. WTI Oil at 74.00's is far to high. Lower would strengthen the case for lower Inflation, higher GDP and a possible Fed Rate cut. WTI's 5 year average is located at 67.07.

The FED's dilemma is Economics is off kilter to market prices as Powell is now paying the price to raise interest rates to high and to quick. Powell is market price dependent as much as Economics. Does Powell sacrifice the DXY exchange rate for lower Oil.

DXY vs WTI 2024

DXY 107.11 Vs WTI 69.25.

DXY 108.69 Vs WTI 67.67.

DXY 111.84 Vs WTI 64.52.

DXY 119.73 Vs WTI 56.63.

DXY 107.00's translates to EUR/USD 1.0300's and 102.00's easily.

DXY's trouble next week is the same old DXY story as supports build against a significant move lower. Immediate supports are located at 104.27, 103.75, 103.68, 103.64, 103.45.

EUR/USD: US Dollar to remain pressured until uncertainty fog dissipates

Unimpressive European Central Bank left monetary policy unchanged for the fifth consecutive meeting. The United States first-tier employment and inflation data is scheduled for the second week of February. EUR/USD battles to remain afloat above 1.1800, sellers moving to the sidelines.

GBP/USD reclaims 1.3600 and above

GBP/USD reverses two straight days of losses, surpassing the key 1.3600 yardstick on Friday. Cable’s rebound comes as the Greenback slips away from two-week highs in response to some profit-taking mood and speculation of Fed rate cuts. In addition, hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill are also collaborating with the quid’s improvement.

Gold: Volatility persists in commodity space

After losing more than 8% to end the previous week, Gold remained under heavy selling pressure on Monday and dropped toward $4,400. Although XAU/USD staged a decisive rebound afterward, it failed to stabilize above $5,000. The US economic calendar will feature Nonfarm Payrolls and Consumer Price Index data for January, which could influence the market pricing of the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook and impact Gold’s performance.
