USD/JPY: US economy continues to decline

The Japanese currency intends to seize the initiative in conjunction with the "American" amid the publication of positive macroeconomic data. At the moment, the instrument is trading at 137.00.

The cost of corporate goods and services for the year remained at the same rate of 2.1%, slightly inferior to market expectations of 2.2%. At the beginning of the trading day, statistics on the index displaying consumer prices in the capital of Japan for August were published, which showed an increase in inflation in annual terms from the previous 2.3% to 2.6% in the present. When accounting for fuel and food group of goods, the strengthening was from 2.5% earlier to 2.9% at the current time.

Overview of the S&P 500 index

The S&P 500 index shows moderate growth, trading at 4193.0.

The US stock exchange is in correction, and the further prospects for the movement of indicators will depend on the nature of the statements of the chairman of the regulator of the United States. Recall that Jerome Powell will speak at the symposium held in Jackson Hole, announced at 16:00 (GMT+2). Economists predict the continuation of aggressive steps, but the tightening of monetary policy may be adjusted, since there is a certain split between the officials of the US Federal Reserve. On the eve of the labor market, positive statistics were released, showing a decrease in the number of initial applications for registration of the status of unemployed from 245.0 thousand last week to 243.0 thousand in the present. The consumer price growth index for July decreased to 8.5% from the maximum level of 9.1%, which will allow the national regulator to reduce the rate of interest rate increase to 0.50%, instead of the previously expected 0.75%.

  • Support levels: 4110.0, 3900.0.
  • Resistance levels: 4310.0, 4631.0.

Cryptocurrency Market Overview

As of the end of the current trading week, experts cannot agree on the reasons for the continued strong pressure on the cryptocurrency market, which caused a correction of key assets of the digital segment in the market, which led to an outflow of investments from tokens, collapsing the market capitalization below the psychological threshold of 1.0 trillion dollars. According to economists, the reason could be caused by the massive sale of bitcoins by one of the major asset holders. In addition, the correction could have been caused by the decision of the US House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Trade to begin auditing the largest mining companies and their impact on climate change. Investors expressed concerns that such measures could lead to a partial or complete shutdown of cryptocurrency mining in the United States.

On the eve of the end of the week, the cryptocurrency market was able to recover only a small part of the losses incurred the day before. So, BTC reached the mark of 21400.00, having sank by 0.3%, ETH is testing the mark of 1660.00, having strengthened by 2.5%, USDT is held at the limit of 1.0001, having moderately increased 0.01% in price, BNB reached the indicator of 296.00, having lost 1.3%. At the end of the week, the capitalization level reached 1.031 trillion US dollars.

A slight improvement in economic sentiment is expected, with a correction from 93.3 to 93.7 points. Also due for release is German inflation data for November, where the annualized consumer price level is forecast to decline from 3.8% to 3.5%, with a 0.2% decline expected on a monthly basis.

Christopher Waller, a member of the Federal Open Market Committee, suggested the possibility of a rate cut if inflation continues to decline over the next 3-5 months. On Thursday, data is expected to be released on the core private consumption price index for October, which is expected to fall from 3.7% to 3.5% year-over-year. The realization of these forecasts may strengthen the position of supporters of a looser monetary policy in the Federal Reserve, which may have a negative impact on the US dollar.Resistance levels: 1.3705, 1.3793, 1.3916.Support levels: 1.3549, 1.3450, 1.3305.Gold price analysisThe currency pair XAU/USD is witnessing a slight rise, continuing the uptrend in the short term and updating the last highs recorded in early May. The currency is actively testing the possibility of overcoming the level of 2050.00, with the US dollar feeling moderate pressure due to expectations of the end of the tight monetary policy of the Federal Reserve. Recently, Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) member Christopher Waller emphasized that a loosening of policy in the coming months is being considered, provided inflation slows. However, other members of the regulator have pointed to potential price increases, especially in energy.Today, investors are focused on revised U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) data for the third quarter and the Federal Reserve's economic report, known as the Beige Book. Tomorrow will see the release of October data on personal consumption price indexes, important for the Fed's inflation forecasting.

Hydrocarbon prices have shown resilience this month after setting the date for the next OPEC+ summit to be held on November 30 via video conference. The postponement of the meeting was due to discrepancies in the alliance regarding oil production quotas. Experts' forecasts lean toward maintaining current production levels, especially from Saudi Arabia and Russia, which have agreed to cut production by an additional 1.3 million barrels per day.Oil price movements are largely dependent on US hydrocarbon inventory reports. The positive movement was interrupted this week, with the American Petroleum Institute (API) reporting a -0.817 million barrel decline in inventories after a significant increase of 9.074 million a week earlier, implying a likely decline in the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA) report to be released today. Analysts anticipate a -0.933 million barrel decline after an increase of 8.701 million a week earlier, which could support oil prices.Resistance levels: 77.70, 81.20.Support levels: 75.50, 72.30.

November NZD/USD: Neuseeländischer Dollar nahe SpitzenwertenDas Währungspaar NZD/USD erfährt eine Korrektur nach dem Anstieg der letzten Woche, als es seit dem 10. August frische Höchststände erreichte. Im Moment testet der Kurs das Niveau von 0.6060 auf die Möglichkeit eines Rückgangs, in Erwartung neuer Anreize auf dem Markt.Der heutige Tag wird die Aufmerksamkeit der Anleger auf die US-Verkaufszahlen für neue Häuser für Oktober und den November-Geschäftsaktivitätsindex der Federal Reserve Bank von Dallas lenken. Händler werden wahrscheinlich vorsichtig sein, neue Positionen bis Mittwoch, den 29. November, zu akzeptieren, wenn das Treffen der Reserve Bank of New Zealand stattfindet. Es wird erwartet, dass die Bank die Geldpolitik nicht strafft und den Zinssatz bei 5,50% belassen wird.Der neuseeländische Dollar wird von den am vergangenen Freitag veröffentlichten Einzelhandelsumsätzen für das dritte Quartal leicht unterstützt. Diese Daten zeigten Stabilität, nachdem sie im Vorquartal um 0,9% gefallen waren, im Gegensatz zu den Prognosen für einen Rückgang um 0,8%. Der Absatz ohne Berücksichtigung von Autos stieg um 1,0% und übertraf damit die Erwartungen von -1,5%.Widerstandsniveaus: 0.6100, 0.6131, 0.6155, 0.6183.Unterstützungsniveaus: 0.6075, 0.6053, 0.6030, 0.6000.Analyse der GoldpreiseIn der asiatischen Handelssitzung zeigt das Währungspaar XAU/USD nach oben und versucht, über der wichtigen Marke von 2000.0 Fuß zu fassen. Dies geschieht vor dem Hintergrund einer vorübergehenden Waffenruhe im Nahostkonflikt, die die geopolitischen Risiken verringert, sowie aufgrund des anhaltenden Fallens des USD-Index.Experten diskutieren oft die Möglichkeit einer globalen Rezession in der US-Wirtschaft und die Zeit des Abschlusses einer aggressiven Finanzpolitik. Analysten der Goldman Sachs Group Inc. sie schätzen die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Rezession auf 15% und gehen davon aus, dass die Korrektur der Kreditkosten im letzten Quartal des nächsten Jahres beginnen wird. Die UBS Group AG und Morgan Stanley prognostizieren im zweiten Quartal des kommenden Jahres die gleiche Entwicklung mit einer erwarteten Lockerung der Geldpolitik im März, wobei die Experten der UBS Group AG für 2024 eine Zinskorrektur von mehr als 275 Basispunkten erwarten. Unter solchen Bedingungen kann Gold Wachstum zeigen, da der Rückgang des USD-Index aufgrund der weichen Politik zu seinem Wachstum beiträgt, da die umgekehrte Korrelation zwischen Gold und Index gegeben ist, die auf ein normales Niveau nahe -0,80 zurückkehrt.Widerstandsniveaus: 2024.0, 2053.0.Support-Levels: 2000.0, 1965.0.Analyse des KryptowährungsmarktesDie letzte Woche für das Währungspaar BTC/USD war gemischt: Zunächst gab es einen Rückgang auf das Niveau von 35640.00, gefolgt von der Wiederherstellung verlorener Positionen mit Überwindung des Niveaus von 38400.00, aber zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt fiel der Kurs wieder auf 37200.00.Dieser negative Trend ist mit einer verstärkten Kontrolle durch die amerikanischen Aufsichtsbehörden über die führenden Kryptowährungsplattformen verbunden. Zum Beispiel erkannte Changpeng Zhao, Leiter von Binance, die Unfähigkeit des Unternehmens, die Anforderungen des Anti-Geldwäsche-Programms einzuhalten, und trat zurück, wobei das Unternehmen mit einer Geldstrafe von 4,32 Milliarden Dollar bestraft wurde und zusätzliche rechtliche Einschränkungen auferlegte. Darüber hinaus hat die US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) die Kraken-Kryptobörse des illegalen Wertpapierhandels, der fehlenden Maklerlizenz und der Vermischung von Kundengeldern mit Unternehmensvermögen beschuldigt. Die Beamten bemühen sich, die Aktivitäten von Kraken vollständig zu verbieten und finanzielle Sanktionen zu verhängen. Auch Vertreter der Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) erklärten ihre Absicht, digitale Plattformen weiterhin zu verfolgen, wenn sie die Interessen ihrer Kunden nicht schützen.Widerstandsniveaus: 38000.00, 39062.50, 40625.00.Support-Levels: 35937.50, 35300.00, 32812.50, 31200.00.Analyse des RohölmarktesWährend der asiatischen Handelssitzung gab es einen moderaten Rückgang des Wertes von WTI-Öl, der auf das Niveau von 75.00 fällt, was den bärischen Trend der letzten Woche fortsetzt.Der Preisverfall kommt vor dem Hintergrund der abnehmenden geopolitischen Spannungen in der Region Nahost, wo im Rahmen des Abkommens über den Austausch von Geiseln eine Waffenruhe in Gaza eingeführt wurde. Einige Experten glauben, dass diese temporäre Welt zu einer diplomatischen Konfliktlösung werden könnte. Darüber hinaus erwarten die Anleger die Ergebnisse des für den 30. November geplanten bevorstehenden OPEC+ -Gipfels, bei dem die Exporteure über die Möglichkeit einer weiteren Reduzierung der Ölproduktion verhandeln. Analysten sind zuversichtlich, einen Kompromiss zu erzielen, der zu einer Verringerung des Ölangebots auf dem Markt führen wird.Widerstandsniveaus: 76.00, 77.00, 78.00, 79.14.Unterstützungsstufen: 75.00, 74.00, 73.00, 71.77.

Analytical Forex forecast for NZD/USD, Gold, Cryptocurrencies and Crude Oil on November 27
NZD/USD, currency, Ethereum/USD, cryptocurrency, Bitcoin/USD, cryptocurrency, Brent Crude Oil, commodities, WTI Crude Oil, commodities, Gold, mineral, Analytical Forex forecast for NZD/USD, Gold, Cryptocurrencies and Crude Oil on November 27 NZD/USD: New Zealand Dollar is close to peak valuesThe NZD/USD currency pair is experiencing a correction after the growth achieved last week, when it reached fresh highs since August 10. At the moment, the exchange rate is checking the 0.6060 level for the possibility of a decline, in anticipation of new incentives in the market.Today will attract investors' attention to the data on new home sales in the United States for October and the November business activity index from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Traders are likely to be cautious about taking new positions until Wednesday, November 29, when the Reserve Bank of New Zealand meets. It is expected that the bank will not tighten monetary policy and will leave the interest rate at 5.50%.The New Zealand dollar is slightly supported by retail sales data for the third quarter, published last Friday. These data showed stability after a 0.9% drop in the previous quarter, contrary to forecasts of a 0.8% decline. Sales excluding cars increased by 1.0%, exceeding expectations of -1.5%.Resistance levels: 0.6100, 0.6131, 0.6155, 0.6183.Support levels: 0.6075, 0.6053, 0.6030, 0.6000.Gold price analysisIn the Asian trading session, the XAU/USD currency pair is showing growth, trying to gain a foothold above the important 2000.0 mark. This is happening against the background of a temporary ceasefire in the Middle East conflict, which reduces geopolitical risks, as well as due to the continued decline of the USD index.Experts often discuss the possibility of a global recession in the US economy and the period of completion of aggressive financial policy. Analysts from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimate the probability of a recession at 15% and assume that the correction in the cost of loans will begin in the last quarter of next year. UBS Group AG and Morgan Stanley predict the same development in the second quarter of next year with the expected easing of monetary policy in March, and UBS Group AG experts foresee an interest rate correction of more than 275 basis points for 2024. In such conditions, gold can demonstrate growth, since a decrease in the USD index due to a soft policy contributes to its growth, given the inverse correlation between gold and the index, which returns to the usual level of about -0.80.Resistance levels: 2024.0, 2053.0.Support levels: 2000.0, 1965.0.Cryptocurrency Market AnalysisLast week was ambiguous for the BTC/USD currency pair: at first there was a decline to the level of 35640.00, followed by the recovery of lost positions with overcoming the level of 38400.00, but by the current moment the exchange rate has again fallen to the level of 37200.00.Such a negative trend is associated with increased control by American supervisory authorities over the leading cryptocurrency platforms. For example, Changpeng Zhao, the head of Binance, acknowledged the company's inability to comply with the requirements of the anti-money laundering program and resigned, while the company was fined $ 4.32 billion and additional legal restrictions were imposed. In addition, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused the Kraken crypto exchange of illegal securities trading, lack of a broker's license and mixing client funds with corporate assets. The officials seek to completely ban the activities of Kraken and impose financial sanctions. Also, representatives of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced their intention to continue pursuing digital platforms if they do not protect the interests of their customers.Resistance levels: 38000.00, 39062.50, 40625.00.Support levels: 35937.50, 35300.00, 32812.50, 31200.00.Crude Oil Market AnalysisDuring the Asian trading session, there is a moderate decline in the price of WTI oil, which falls to the level of 75.00, continuing the "bearish" trend that developed last week.The drop in prices is taking place against the background of a decrease in geopolitical tensions in the Middle East region, where a ceasefire has been introduced in Gaza in the context of the hostage exchange agreement. Some experts believe that this temporary peace can turn into a diplomatic settlement of the conflict. In addition, investors are waiting for the results of the upcoming OPEC+ summit scheduled for November 30, where exporters are negotiating the possibility of an additional reduction in oil production. Analysts are confident that a compromise will be reached, which will lead to a decrease in the volume of oil supply on the market.Resistance levels: 76.00, 77.00, 78.00, 79.14.Support levels: 75.00, 74.00, 73.00, 71.77.

The index of services from the Commonwealth Bank in November fell from 47.9 to 46.3, which is worse than forecasts, and the indicator of the manufacturing sector from S&P Global fell from 48.2 to 47.7. Business is under pressure due to high inflation and tight monetary policy of the Reserve Bank of Australia, which may worsen due to new measures to control the price pressure.

Investors have reduced their positions in the US dollar ahead of the Thanksgiving celebration.Meanwhile, the British pound did not receive support from the results of the hearings on the national budget and revised economic forecasts.

Despite the relatively strong statements and minutes of the Fed suggesting the possibility of another rate hike, the market is already beginning to anticipate the beginning of a period of monetary policy easing. Some analysts suggest that the first rate cut in 2024 may occur as early as the March meeting of the regulator.Resistance levels: 23.83, 24.00, 24.20, 24.42.Support levels: 23.60, 23.32, 23.00, 22.70.

Michelle Bullock, head of the Reserve Bank of Australia, noted that some key indicators, including the number of vacancies, show a downward trend from the maximum values.

The number of building permits in October increased from 1.471 million to 1.487 million, contrary to forecasts of a decline to 1.450 million, and the volume of new construction of houses increased from 1.346 million to 1.372 million with an expected figure of 1.350 million.Resistance levels: 1.2500, 1.2550, 1.2600, 1.2650.Support levels: 1.2450, 1.2400, 1.2350, 1.2300.NZD/USD: New Zealand manufacturing sector shows strengthening trendsThe NZD/USD currency pair is gaining momentum, stabilizing at 0.6028 during morning trading, thanks to positive economic data from New Zealand.In September, the producer price index in New Zealand registered an increase of 0.8% compared to August, while the purchasing price index increased by 1.2%.
