4/6 Forexové trhy

FX: Potom co ECB aj Bank of England nechali úrokové sadzby nezmenené (v súlade s očakávaniami), USD zaznamenal pomerne výrazné posilnenie. Dôvodom boli najmä Trichetove slová o tom, že USA podporujú silnejší dolár. To posunulo EURUSD takmer na doležitú hranicu supportu 1,4070 (support 1,4050). A GBPUSD až k hranici 1,6090. Následne došlo k miernej korekcii.

XAUUSD: zlato sa taktiež dostalo k dôležitej úrovni 960, avšak support ostal neprekonaný. Aj preto zlato znovu na hranici 970. Momentálny vývoj je silne ovlpyvnení eurodolárovým pohybom.

3/6 Crude Oil close to major resistance

Crude Oil close to major resistance
By: Ole S Hansen, Senior Manager, Saxo Bank

Crude oil is up 10% since we broke the 200 daily moving average last week. That was the trigger for the additional strength we have seen recently, combined with the continued weakness in the US dollar.

Also playing in is the verbal intervention we saw at the Opec meeting last week. The meeting agreed to leave production levels unchanged (although there is some suspicion that some countries are producing more than the agreed level) but the Saudis said that the improvement in the global economy suggests a price level of $75 -$80 a barrel may be supportable.

As far as the market is concerned we are approaching a critical level in the low 70s. The Relative Strength Index is as high as it has been for some time suggesting the market is overbought. That means there is an increased near-term risk of a correction.

An RSI above 70 indicates the market might be over stretched and we have seen levels as high as 78.

We expect today’s Department of Energy figures to show an increase in Crude stocks of 1.5 million, compared with a fall of 5.4 million last week.

For Gasoline, to be up 650,000, compared with 248,000 last week.For Distillates, up 900,000 compared with 2.4 million last week.Refinery utilisation is expected to be around 0.5%, compared to 3.3% last week

The market needs a weak number to test the strength of the upside. If the market doesn’t go up we know we are close to the break point.

The near-term upside is around 69 and we could see it reaching 72 but not higher. The increasing downside risk is now defined by the 200 DMA support at 61 with initial support before then at 66.

Futures: Cena medi (HGN9) rovnako ako všetky kovy rastie. Dôvodom je oslabujúci dolár ako aj rast priemyslu v Číne.
