EUR/USD: Negative factors continue to weigh on the euro

The single currency of the Eurozone is showing a negative trend, making another record low and crossing another threshold of 0.9550, which caused the EUR/USD pair to show a decline.

The American currency has been actively strengthening its positions during the last week, especially it was brightly demonstrated last Friday, when the negative statistics was published for the markets. According to the data the PMI (business activity index) of the manufacturing sector in Germany according to S&P Global for September showed a decline down to 48.3 points from 49.1 points. Value of services sector decreased to 45.4 points from 47.7 points against expectations of 47.2 points, composite PMI (business activity index) decreased to 45.9 points from 46.9 points against expectations of 46.0 points.

USD/CAD: the U.S. dollar strengthens the bullish dynamics

In the Asian trading session, the trading instrument USD/CAD is showing a confident upward dynamic, formed from September 13 and reached the level of 1.3625 with the prospect of growth in the future, having updated the July record of 2020.

Market participants are unanimous in their forecasts that the Canadian regulator will stick to the "hawkish" methods of tightening monetary parameters, the more so as Deputy Central Bank Governor Paul Beaudry said, the core and overall indicators for August were at levels above the target level of 2.0%, despite the slowdown in inflation. Specifically, the Consumer Price Index was at its highest level in more than 40 years at 8.1% over the summer, putting the household sector under unprecedented pressure, accelerating the 10.8% year-over-year rise in the food commodities group. A combination of factors allows experts to conclude that the Bank of Canada will decide to raise the key index by 50.0 percentage points, strengthening it to 3.75% in the summit in October.

  • Resistance levels: 1.3650, 1.3700, 1.3750 and 1.3800.

AUD/USD: instrument consolidation at the level of 0.6500

The AUD/USD currency pair is trading in a moderate downtrend, being at 0.6500 developing a bearish dynamic near the record low of May 2020.

Positions of the instrument are under moderate pressure amid increasing popularity among investors of the U.S. currency due to uncertainty in the markets. At the same time, most trades are made in British and euro zone currencies, while the Australian dollar is supported by Friday's business activity data.

  • Resistance levels: 0.6572, 0.6650, 0.6700, 0.6750.
  • Support levels: 0.6485, 0.6400, 0.6320, 0.6250.

GBP/USD: The government's statements are weighing on the pair

Due to the collapse of the British currency to the record low of the last 37 years, GBP/USD traded down to 1.0554.

The key factor for the pair quotes movement was the report of the U.K. Treasury Department where the actions to stabilize the economic situation were announced. So, besides helping to pay for electricity, taxation was named as a priority area of support. The new Finance Minister Kwasi Kwarteng noted that the government is working on an algorithm of actions that can significantly help reduce duties, preliminary estimates assume attraction for the implementation of additional 72.0 billion pounds through a number of ways, including the correction of the volume of benefits for the unemployed, which are now provided by the majority of British subjects. Evaluating the risks, the major market participants began to actively redirect assets into alternative currency pairs, due to which the pound may reach parity against the U.S. dollar in the short term.

  • Resistance levels: 1.0800 and 1.1214.
  • Support levels: 1.0276, 1.0000.

Forex analytical forecast for EUR/USD, USD/CAD, GBP/USD and silver for Thursday, June 8
EUR/USD, currency, GBP/USD, currency, USD/CAD, currency, Silver, mineral, Forex analytical forecast for EUR/USD, USD/CAD, GBP/USD and silver for Thursday, June 8 EUR/USD: economists expect EU economy to contract in Q1The currency pair EUR/USD is holding around the level of 1.0709, and all attempts of its growth are restrained by weak macroeconomic statistics from the European Union.Today the gross domestic product (GDP) for the first quarter is expected to be published. Analysts expect the pair to show zero growth compared to the previous 0.1%, which will lead to the slowdown of the annual rate from 1.8% to 1.2%. Some experts believe these forecasts are overstated, given the decline in the region's key economic indicators. For example, industrial production in Germany and Italy in April adjusted down to 1.75% and 3.2%, respectively, from a previous reading of 2.07% and 5.8%.At the moment there are almost no prospects for the euro growth, and taking into account the stable dynamics of the American dollar the EUR/USD trading instrument is likely to continue its decline.Resistance levels: 1.0760 and 1.0900.Support levels: 1.0630, 1.0460.USD/CAD: bears have taken the initiative in the pair.During the Asian session, the pair USD/CAD strengthened the dominance of the "bears" in the short term, which led to a renewal of the local lows set on May 8.The Canadian dollar received additional support from April export statistics, which increased from $63.24 billion to $64.85 billion, while imports declined from $63.01 billion to $62.91 billion. That boosted the trade surplus from $0.23 billion to $1.94 billion. On Friday, the May labor market report is expected to be released, which could determine the future dynamics of this asset. The unemployment rate is projected to increase from 5.0% to 5.1% and the number of employed people is expected to adjust from 41.4 thousand to 23.2 thousand. This will confirm further pressure on the economy.Resistance levels: 1.3400, 1.3450, 1.3500, 1.3550.Support levels: 1.3350, 1.3300, 1.3250, 1.3200.GBP/USD: pound is showing a weak uptrendAt the moment the pair GBP/USD is recovering and holding near the levels reached on June 2, around 1.2452, after trading with mostly mixed dynamics.Recently published macroeconomic statistics from the UK and the U.S. did not have a noticeable impact on the movement of this instrument. The Halifax housing price index for May showed zero dynamics after a decline of 0.4% in the previous month. On an annualized basis (over the last 3 months), the index declined 1.0% after rising 0.1% in the previous period, with a forecast of -0.95%. Demand for real estate is declining under the influence of high interest rates of the Bank of England and rising inflation. According to the forecast of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Kingdom will face the most significant inflation rate among developed countries this year, which could reach 6.9%. Next year, inflation is expected to fall to its target of 2.0% due to falling energy costs, but the baseline will remain above 3.2%.Resistance levels: 1.2450, 1.2500, 1.2550 and 1.2600.Support levels: 1.2419, 1.2390, 1.2350, 1.2307.Silver price analysisAt the moment, the pair XAG/USD showed an unsteady corrective growth after the extremely volatile session that took place the day before. During this session, the instrument was able to renew the local highs set on May 16 and tested the level of 24.00, but finished the session in the "red" zone, closing at 23.40.The volatility of the instrument is gradually declining towards the end of the current trading week, which is connected with the expectations of the upcoming meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve System next week. It is predicted that the U.S. regulator will not tighten the current monetary policy, and the interest rate is likely to remain at 5.25%. However, the Fed may leave open the possibility of rate adjustments in the future depending on economic conditions as the inflation target in the 2.0-3.0% range has not yet been reached.Resistance levels: 24.00, 24.42, 25.00, 25.35.Support levels: 23.50, 23.29, 23.00, 22.65.

"The American continues to be under increased pressure since last Friday, June 2, amid the release of May labor market data.Meanwhile, the chairman of Japan's financial authorities used the opportunity to speak to the Japanese parliament late last week and said there was no clear timetable for the consumer price index to return to the 2.0% target area for reasons that could influence the ongoing monetary policy, suggesting that the officials could achieve their goal in the near future. Kazuo Ueda pointed out that there are still no conditions to discuss details of the end of "dovish" rhetoric in the regulator's policy, including the sale of agency's assets via real estate trust funds is not expected, while the Japanese authorities undertook commitments to bring the economy out of the deflationary zone.Resistance levels: 139.67, 140.21, 140.91 and 141.50.Support levels: 138.90, 138.00, 137.50, 136.50.Silver price analysisThe precious metal is testing the 23.55 area in a corrective move amid a strengthening of the U.S. currency and investors transferring capital to a range of risky assets.Having made a first serious attempt to rise above the 24.00 threshold, the asset retreated, and volumes of transactions declined with the current support of fundamental factors. In the PRC, one of the key centers for silver imports and processing, the level of shipments to foreign markets declined 7.5% in May, while purchases from partners showed a correction of 4.5% against a decrease of 7.9% earlier.

In turn, markets were able to almost win back the loss of positions amid decisions of OPEC+ the day before to extend the agreement to reduce the level of production capacity in 2024. Cartel participants report that their decisions were caused solely by a desire to maintain a stable situation on the market, as well as to keep a stable forecasting background.Meanwhile, oil was supported by the data published by the American Petroleum Institute on hydrocarbon reserves, according to which the weekly value for June 2 fell by 1.71 million barrels compared to the previous period growth of 5.202 million barrels. Today, June 7, investors await the release of the final statistics from the EIA, which is estimated to show a significant increase of 1.5 million barrels, building on the previous upward trend of 4.488 million barrels.Resistance levels: 72.50, 73.52, 74.66, 76.00.Support levels: 71.00, 70.00, 69.00, 68.04.

Analytical Forex forecast for USD/CAD, USD/CHF, AUD/USD and Gold for Tuesday, June 6
AUD/USD, currency, USD/CAD, currency, USD/CHF, currency, Gold, mineral, Analytical Forex forecast for USD/CAD, USD/CHF, AUD/USD and Gold for Tuesday, June 6 USD/CAD: the pair is moving in the local corridor 1.3330–1.3250The Canadian currency is strengthening against the background of strong macroeconomic statistics, and the key support area of 1.3330–1.3250 is currently the goal of reducing the USD/CAD pair.Last week, data on Canada's gross domestic product (GDP) was published, which in quarterly terms amounted to 0.8%, exceeding analysts' forecast of 0.4% and the value for the previous period of 0.0%. In addition, core inflation dropped 4.3% to 4.1% per annum, which confirms the effectiveness of the monetary policy pursued by the Bank of Canada and gives investors confidence that the regulator will cope with the rise in consumer prices earlier than the US Federal Reserve. On Wednesday, the agency will announce its decision on monetary policy, and economists predict that the interest rate will remain at 4.5%. Last month, the head of the Bank of Canada, Tiff Macklem, noted that officials do not intend to adjust the indicator, but plan to take a break to assess the impact on the economy of the measures taken the day before.Resistance levels: 1.3660, 1.3830.Support levels: 1.3330, 1.3250, 1.3050.USD/CHF: the policy of the Swiss financial authorities slowed down the May inflation dynamicsDuring the Asian session, the USD/CHF pair continues to decline, developing the downward momentum formed by the previous trading day, and is testing the 0.9042 level for a break down, trying to gain a foothold below the local lows of June 2.The US dollar is under pressure due to the general improvement in market sentiment, which leads to an increase in demand for risky currencies. Investors were optimistic about the news about solving the problem of limiting the US public debt: over the weekend, President Joe Biden signed a bill to abolish this restriction for the next two years, which provides for a partial reduction in government spending. Now investors are paying attention to macroeconomic statistics and discussing possible decisions of the US Federal Reserve Bank at the upcoming meeting next week. At the moment, more than 70.0% of analysts expect that the interest rate will be left unchanged, which may limit the further growth of the dollar.Resistance levels: 0.9073, 0.9100, 0.9118, 0.9146.Support levels: 0.9030, 0.9000, 0.8960, 0.8930.AUD/USD: RBA increased the cost of borrowing by 0.25%The AUD/USD pair is showing steady growth, continuing the strong upward momentum formed on June 1 last Thursday. The currency pair is testing the 0.6660 level, overcoming it and updating local highs since May 19. The main factor supporting the growth of the instrument is the decision of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) regarding the interest rate.The Australian regulator raised the rate by 25 basis points to 4.10%, reaching the highest level since April 2012. In an official statement, officials noted that they made this decision in light of the continuing pressure on inflation, which, although it has reached its peak, is still at an unacceptably high level of 7.0%. That is why the RBA is seeking to tighten monetary policy in order to return inflation rates to the target range of 2.0-3.0% in the near future. At the same time, RBA officials noted that the growth of the Australian economy continues to slow down, and the situation in the labor market remains tense. They also did not rule out the possibility of further increases in the cost of borrowing, if the situation requires such measures and they will not cause significant damage to economic growth and the welfare of citizens. Recall that in April 2022, the official interest rate in Australia was set at a historic low of 0.10%, but in May the RBA began a series of rate hikes in the fight against inflation.Resistance levels: 0.6681, 0.6708, 0.6750, 0.6795.Support levels: 0.6635, 0.6590, 0.6563, 0.6530.Gold price analysisThe asset shows steady growth, developing a strong "bullish" momentum formed last Thursday, June 1. The instrument is testing the 0.6660 mark for an upward breakdown, updating local highs from May 19. The main factor in the growth of the instrument remains the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) decision on the interest rate.The Australian regulator raised the indicator by 25 basis points to 4.10% — the highest level since April 2012. In the accompanying statement, the officials noted that they made the decision against the background of the continuing pressure of inflation, which, although it has passed its peak, remains at an unacceptably high level of 7.0%. That is why the agency seeks to tighten monetary policy in order to return the indicators to the target of 2.0–3.0% in the near future. At the same time, the RBA noted that the growth of the Australian economy continues to slow down, and the situation in the labor market remains tense. Officials also do not rule out a further increase in the cost of borrowing, if the situation demands it and there will be no significant damage to economic growth and the welfare of citizens. Recall that in April 2022, the official interest rate in Australia was at a record low of 0.10%, but in May the RBA made a series of adjustments to the value to combat inflation.Resistance levels: 1960.00, 1971.39, 1983.20, 2000.00.Support levels: 1950.00, 1936.40, 1920.00, 1900.00.

Forex analytical forecast for EUR/USD, USD/CAD, GBP/USD and NZD/USD for Monday, June 5
EUR/USD, currency, GBP/USD, currency, USD/CAD, currency, NZD/USD, currency, Forex analytical forecast for EUR/USD, USD/CAD, GBP/USD and NZD/USD for Monday, June 5 EUR/USD: experts expect decline in business sentiment in the EUThe pair EUR/USD showed a decline, reaching the level of 1.0697, and a negative trend compared to its main competitors, including the U.S. dollar. This trend could intensify after the publication of macroeconomic data.Today, investors will pay attention to the Italian Service Business Activity Index, which is expected to decline from 57.6 to 56.5 points, while in France the index may drop from 54.6 to 52.8 points. While Germany is expected to increase from 56.0 to 57.8 points, it is not enough to have a significant impact on the composite index of service sector business activity across the EU and it may continue to decline from 56.2 to 55.9 points.Resistance levels: 1.0759, 1.0920.Support levels: 1.0628, 1.0400.USD/CAD: USD is regaining lost groundThe pair USD/CAD during the Asian session is moderately rising after the active decline last week and is testing the level of 1.3440 in an attempt to break up, retreating from the local lows set on May 16.Technical factors are supporting the upward dynamic, while the main impulses for the U.S. currency growth are gradually weakening. The U.S. labor market report released on Friday pointed to a continued high level of tightness: the unemployment rate rose from 3.4% to 3.7%, while the forecasted level was 3.5%. The number of new jobs created outside the agriculture sector increased by 339,000 in May, up from 294,000 last month, although analysts had expected 180,000. Average hourly earnings growth slowed from 0.4% to 0.3% on a monthly basis and from 4.4% to 4.3% on an annual basis. These statistics put additional pressure on the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to further tighten monetary policy. Nevertheless, experts suppose with the probability of about 66% that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged at the next meeting, which is scheduled for June 13-14.Resistance levels: 1.3450, 1.3500, 1.3550 and 1.3600.Support levels: 1.3400, 1.3350, 1.3300, 1.3250.NZD/USD: pair pulled back from the peak of MayThe NZD/USD pair showed mixed trading dynamics, holding near the level of 0.6060. It deviated from the local highs set on May 25 as a result of the reaction to the publication of the May report on the U.S. labor market, which caused mixed feelings among traders.Let's remind that this data showed the increase in the number of new jobs outside the agricultural sector by 339.0 thousand after the previous growth of 294.0 thousand, while analysts expected the slowdown to 190.0 thousand. At the same time the unemployment rate went up from 3.4% to 3.7% while the forecast was 3.5%. In such a situation, it is unclear what steps the US Federal Reserve (Fed) officials will take at the upcoming meeting scheduled for June 13-14. Earlier most experts were inclined to consider a 25-basis-point interest rate hike, but rising unemployment could force the regulator to suspend monetary policy tightening. Right now there is about a 66.0% chance that the Fed will leave rates at current levels.Resistance levels: 0.6100, 0.6150, 0.6200 and 0.6250.Support levels: 0.6043, 0.5984, 0.5938 and 0.5900.GBP/USD: pound is affected by the contradictory sentimentGBP/USD is in a consolidation phase near the level of 1.2430, but there is an ongoing negative sentiment which formed on June 2 when the pound declined after its local highs set on May 16.According to a Reuters poll of British economists, most of them predict a 3.0% decline in average home prices in the country this year, while previously a 2.4% decline was expected. This is due to the ongoing cost of living crisis and the expected rise in interest rates, which will have a negative impact on consumers and the entire British economy. The slow decline in inflation is likely to stimulate an interest rate hike from 4.50% to 5.00% at the Bank of England meeting scheduled for June.Resistance levels: 1.2450, 1.2500, 1.2550, 1.2600.Support levels: 1.2390, 1.2350, 1.2307, 1.2236.

AUD/USD, currency, EUR/USD, currency, USD/CAD, currency, USD/CHF, currency, Forex analytical forecast for AUD/USD, USD/CHF, EUR/USD and USD/CAD for Friday, June 2 AUD/USD: developing a bullish momentumAUD/USD currency pair continues to grow actively, forming a strong upward momentum, which began yesterday. The instrument is currently testing the level of 0.6615, breaking through upwards, making new local highs since May 23. Such growth is due to the vulnerability of the U.S. currency, which is declining at the end of the current week.The weak macroeconomic statistics from Australia has almost no significant impact on the active growth of the instrument today. The index of trade conditions declined by 1.5% in the first quarter after the previous increase by 1.8%, which is fully in line with experts' forecasts. Mortgage loan originations fell 3.8% in April after rising 5.5% the previous month, while analysts had expected a 3.0% decline. Investment borrowing for construction also declined 0.9% after a previous increase of 3.7%. Commerce Secretary Don Farrell said he will continue to consult on a comprehensive trade agreement with the European Union, negotiations on which began back in 2018. This agreement aims to establish a fair partnership for local producers and exporters. The official praised the benefits of access for Australian products to the European market, as it promotes national economic growth, investment, job creation and higher wages.Resistance levels: 0.6635, 0.6670, 0.6700, 0.6750.Support levels: 0.6590, 0.6563, 0.6530, 0.6489.USD/CHF: yesterday's publications have not changed the dynamics of the instrumentDuring the Asian session, the pair USD/CHF continues to decline, following the downward impulse, which was formed earlier, and is testing the level of 0.9040.Investors revise their forecasts on the future actions of the US Federal Reserve and assume that the interest rate will not reach the 5.0% level before the end of the year. In their speeches at the two-day meeting on June 13-14, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia (FRB) President Patrick Harker and Philip Jefferson, FRB board member, spoke in favor of not tightening monetary policy. In addition, the U.S. Senate passed by a majority a bill that eliminates the national debt limit until 2025 and provides for cuts in government spending. The document must now be signed by President Joe Biden.Macroeconomic statistics released Thursday had little effect on the trade instrument, with Swiss exports falling from 27.031 million francs in March to 19.902 million francs in April and imports falling from 22.505 million francs to 17.302 million francs. This led to a decrease in the trade surplus from 4.526 million francs to 2.601 million francs, below analysts' average forecast of 3.822 million francs.Resistance levels: 0.9073, 0.9100, 0.9150 and 0.9200.Support levels: 0.9030, 0.9000, 0.8960, 0.8930.EUR/USD: the single currency shows a correctionThe currency pair EUR/USD showed insignificant growth, developing the corrective movement, which was formed the day before. Currently, the instrument is consolidating at the level of 1.0770, with the possibility of a break-up, updating the local highs since May 24. Activity in the market remains relatively low, as traders are waiting for the May report on the US labor market, which will affect the decision of the US Federal Reserve System (FRS) on the interest rate. At the moment the probability of the monetary policy tightening at the regulator's meeting on June 14 is 24.0%, while at the beginning of the week it exceeded 40.0%.Data from the U.S. also put additional pressure on the U.S. currency. The index of business activity in the manufacturing sector released by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) in May decreased from 47.1 points to 46.9 points, which was lower than the expected 47.0 points, and the index of new orders declined from 45.7 points to 42.6 points, which was significantly lower than the forecasted 44.9 points.Resistance levels: 1.0768, 1.0800, 1.0850, 1.0900.Support levels: 1.0725, 1.0682, 1.0640, 1.0600.USD/CAD: investors note the stable Canadian economyDuring the trading session in Asia, the pair USD/CAD shows a correction at 1.3416. The Canadian currency strongly strengthened the previous day, climbing more than 110.0 points against the U.S. dollar, influenced by two key factors.Firstly, the Canadian economy report had a positive impact: gross domestic product (GDP) remained unchanged at 0.0% in March, leading to a quarterly increase of 0.8% compared to the expected 0.4%. The annual GDP figure thus rose to 2.21% from the previous value of 2.07%, virtually eliminating the risks of a recession in the economy.Resistance levels: 1.3490 and 1.3630.Support levels: 1.3400, 1.3260.

EUR/USD, currency, USD/CAD, currency, USD/TRY, currency, Gold, mineral, Forex analytical forecast for EUR/USD, USD/CAD, USD/TRY and Gold for Wednesday, May 31 EUR/USD: key sectors of the European economy are downPublished macroeconomic statistics, which reflected the downward trend development in the main economic indicators of the Eurozone, caused the EUR/USD pair to correct around 1.0696.For instance, the consumer prices in Spain fell by 0.1% in May from the previous 0.6% growth, which had an impact on the annual figure, reducing it to 3.2%, or the minimum for August 2021. The cost of manufactured goods kept the negative trend to -4.8% from April's -1.5%. Weakening values of the central economies in the region lowered the European Alliance Business Activity Index from 0.51 points to 0.19 points. Taking into account the released inflation data of Germany and France, the current euro dynamics will continue in the medium term.Resistance levels: 1.0760, 1.0950.Support levels: 1.0610, 1.0400.USD/CAD: the pair is going to test a new local maximumUSD/CAD is moving in active growth, being under the influence of the upward momentum formed earlier, when the pair updated the local low of May 24. The U.S. dollar strengthened due to technical reasons and the announced consideration of the bill to increase the national debt ceiling by the congressmen.The agreement reached the day before by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy concluded last weekend, after which the Congress has only one week to approve the bill, without which the financial authorities will lose the ability to make payments on government bills since June 5. Meanwhile, the macroeconomic backdrop also drew investors' attention with the Dallas Fed's May manufacturing activity falling to -29.1 points from a previous estimate of -23.4 points at -19.6 points. A number of Fed officials are expected to speak on Wednesday, May 31. In turn, economists expect publication of the Chicago Business Sentiment Index in May and the monthly economic survey from the US Federal Reserve, the so-called "Exchange Book".Resistance levels: 1.3650, 1.3700, 1.3750 and 1.3800.Support levels: 1.3600, 1.3550, 1.3500, 1.3450.USD/TRY: Turkish currency is making new record lowsIn morning trading, USD/TRY showed strong bullish momentum and made a new record high at 20.7000.On the threshold of the next election in Turkey, the conditions for the lira to go down were formed, amid the markets uncertainty about the predictability of the voting results. The announcement of the final election results at the beginning of the week, according to which the incumbent President Recep Erdogan won a clear victory, triggered another downward trend in the national currency, as economists expect the authorities to put pressure on the Turkish Central Bank in the future. Thus, the vector of "doves" in the issue of monetary parameters, most likely, will remain the same, which will serve to improve the investment climate of the Republic, strengthening of the labor market and supply of goods to foreign markets that can deprive the consumer prices of the prospects for further growth, which now hold the level of 43.68%, at the cost of borrowing at 8.5%. Meanwhile, experts raise fears that the prices of consumer goods and services in the short term may resume growing again due to the involvement of public resources in the election campaign, for example, citizens were given the opportunity to consume natural gas for free for a month. The sharp decline in the Turkish lira forces market participants to transfer their capital to savings accounts, where the lira is quoted against the U.S. dollar and the state compensates for the difference in exchange rates. Such measures have been in effect in Turkey since 2021.Resistance levels: 20.7000, 20.8680, 21.0000, 21.1500.Support levels: 20.4263, 20.2242, 20.0036, 19.8500.Gold pricesThe precious metal is developing a correction at the key multi-year level of 2000.0.Physical gold demand level is steadily increasing, especially after the cancellation of Covid-19 epidemiological measures in the regions.
