PCE in focus, markets potentially with big shifts

Important news for the day

  • Fri, 29th, 14:30 CET        US        PCE price index / Gross domestic product

PCE in focus

Today’s PCE price index might offer more clarity. A potentially stronger reading would likely help the Dollar to rise again. Most currencies remain in a positive trend based on the monthly charts and might lose momentum against the Greenback. A stronger reading might also cause equities to lose some momentum, risk sentiment might fall. On the flipside a weaker number might cause the positive risk sentiment to gear up steam. The recent data from Nvidia caused the S&P 500 to create a new all- time- high and thus the breakout to higher levels might continue also at the last trading day of the month.

Market talk

Markets don’t move much in general but the risk sentiment seem to remain positive. The AUDUSD currency pair keeps rising and indices like the S&P 500 and also Nasdaq kept gearin up some momentum. The German DAX on the other hand remains weaker due to the recent negative dat from the Eurozone. Especially altcoins remain well- bid in this matter. After the creation of a new high in ETH as well as SOL the positive sentiment might continue. Traders will focus on the PCE data from the US today for a clearer picture.

Tendencies in the markets

  • Equities positive, USD sideways, BTC lower, ETH correcting, oil sideways, Silver correcting, Gold correcting, JPY sideways

Taking out the lines in the sand
Good Day... And a Wonderful Wednesday to you! Well, just as I suspected, my beloved Cardinals' bats went silent last night in the Bronx, and they lost 0-2... The Yankees' bats were exactly a murderer's row, but they hit 2 homers and won. I said yesterday that the song : Just Once In My Life, could be the Cardinals' song after hitting 5 home runs the previous night!
9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?
The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
