Markets: What to look out for this week? – Deutsche Bank

Analysts at Deutsche Bank suggest that it's a fairly quiet start to the week today with the only data of note in Europe being the June IFO survey in Germany, while in the US we'll have the May Chicago Fed national activity index, May new home sales, and June Dallas Fed manufacturing activity index.

Key Quotes

“Tuesday: Overnight in Japan we'll get the May PPI print, before the focus turns to the UK with the June CBI retail sales report. In the US the most significant data due out is the June consumer confidence reading, while the June Richmond Fed manufacturing index and April S&P CoreLogic house prices index data are also due. Away from that the ECB's Hansson is due to speak in the morning while in the evening we're due to hear from the Fed's Bostic and Kaplan. German Chancellor Merkel is also due to hold private talks with her coalition partners on refugee policy and euro area reform.”

“Wednesday: In Asia on Wednesday we're due to get Q1 money flow data from the BoJ and May industrial profits data in China. In Europe it is fairly quiet with June consumer confidence data in France and May E3 money supply data for the Euro area due. In the US the main focus will likely be on the preliminary May durable and capital goods orders data, while the May advance goods trade balance is also due along with May pending home sales. Central bank speak continues with the BoE's Carney speaking in the morning about the BoE's Financial Stability Report, followed later by the ECB's Praet and Fed's Rosengren.”

“Thursday: The big focus on Thursday will likely be the EU Summit in Brussels where leaders are due to discuss migration policy, the EU budget, Brexit, security and reforming the economic and monetary union. Datawise, it is looking like a busy day for inflation releases in Europe with preliminary June CPI reports due in Spain, Italy and Germany. We'll also get June confidence indicators for the Euro area while in the US the third and final reading for Q1 GDP and Core PCE is due, as well as the June Kansas City Fed manufacturing activity index and latest weekly initial jobless claims data. The Fed's Bullard and Bostic are also both due to speak in the late afternoon. The Fed will also release part two of its annual bank stress test results.”

“Friday: Friday looks set to be another busy day for inflation releases with preliminary June CPI reports due in France and the Euro area, followed by the May PCE report for the US. Other data worth watching includes May employment data in Japan, June unemployment data in Germany, May money and credit aggregates data and the final Q1 GDP print in the UK, and May personal income and spending, June Chicago Fed PMI and final June University of Michigan consumer sentiment revisions in the US.”

AUD/USD flirts with 0.7000, lowest since early August amid bullish USD

AUD/USD hits a fresh low since early August during the Asian session on Friday and looks vulnerable near 0.7000 after breaking below the 200-day SMA overnight. Against the backdrop of the hawkish Fed, a two-day rally in oil prices revives inflation fears and continues to push US bond yields to multi-year highs. Adding to this, geopolitical risks lift the US Dollar to a two-month high, overshadowing RBA rate hike bets and weighing on the pair.

USD/JPY pulls back from three-week high after failing near 159.00

USD/JPY edges lower during the Asian session on Friday, stalling its recent strong move to a three-week high of 159.00 as Japanese Yen bears turn cautious amid intervention fears. Meanwhile, the US Dollar retains a strong bullish undertone as the Fed's hawkish outlook and oil-driven inflation fears continue to push US bond yields to multi-year peaks. Furthermore, the BoJ's dovish rate hike last week might cap JPY and support spot prices.

Gold extends the range play below $4,300 as Fed hike bets counter modest USD pullback

Gold struggles to gain any traction and remains confined in a narrow range near the weekly low through the early European session on Friday amid a bearish fundamental backdrop. The US Dollar pulls back slightly following a strong rally to a nearly two-month high and offers some support to the commodity. However, the US Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook, elevated US bond yields, and persistent geopolitical uncertainties favor USD bulls.

Ripple, Cardano, Solana: ETF inflows and whale demand signal further rally
Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), and Solana (SOL) continue to experience a steady recovery with double-digit gains so far this month. Ripple and Solana experience firm institutional demand, while the percentage of ADA supply in profit rises, underpinned by interest from large-wallet investors, commonly referred to as whales.
The Dollar is winning, but markets may be losing
The dollar is strengthening, Treasury yields are approaching levels not seen in almost two decades, and oil prices are again adding to inflation concerns. For currency traders, these developments appear to offer a relatively straightforward conclusion: higher US interest rates should support the dollar. But the broader market picture is considerably more complicated.
BoJ Recap: Not as hawkish as expected

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) raised its short-term interest-rate target to 1.25% from 1.00% in a 7-2 vote, marking another step in the normalisation of monetary policy and widely matching what everyone has been expecting for weeks.
