This week's Multi-Asset Technical Strategies is attached. CURRENCIES: A resurgence of Dollar strength against the Euro is clear. Elsewhere: not so clear. There is volatile and confused range-trading in Cable; a lack of clarity and rang-trading in both the Yen and Sterling/Euro cross. STOCKS: The S&P's long-term chart is at critical very long and medium-term support. The short-term is rather less critically set up - the market is still within a clear and rather wide range. The European market l...

Technical Strategies 20th November 2018

This week's Multi-Asset Technical Strategies is attached. CURRENCIES: The Dollar is still strong against the Yen with a further bull trigger close by. There was some weakness in the Dollar against the Euro late on in the week, but not enough to convince. An uneasy equilibrium was evidenced against the Sterling. STOCKS: The S&P still swings wildly within the long-established (over 2018) trading range. There is some slight short-term evidence of consolidation in the EuroStoxx that might, in due ...

13th June - General Election review

​We think the Pound is in for a period of volatility since negotiations will likely need to be referred to Parliament. As a result the economy is likely to remain weak as business either cancels or postpones investment due to increased uncertainty. That has implications for monetary policy and probably means the Bank of England facing the need to keep policy at current low levels for an extended period.  As for the UK Gilt, a weaker economy will mean lower tax revenues and either higher taxes ...

Can the US T Note go still higher?

​Although the rally in equity markets lasted throughout the first quarter of this year, the sell-off in T Notes bottomed in mid-December 2016, leaving that market in a clearly-defined trading range.  Moreover, in recent weeks T Notes have begun testing the top of their trading range, while the rally in equities seems to have stalled. Why?

How weak is the Dollar?

​Trump is not a typical politician, he is a business man used to getting his own way and he will kick hard against a Congress that tries to thwart his plans.  Once the Fed gets a strong handle on this, as his policies unfold, we expect the Fed to adopt a more hawkish tone. That, taken together with the reality of rising US inflation, a bigger budget deficit and a still-torpid Euro zone economy, will see the Dollar rally.

Gold is looking vulnerable

​We are bearish of Gold.  The weekly chart shows a confirmed bear trend. Fundamentally, as Trump begins to roll out his policies, we think others will become bearish of Gold too. The Fed holds its FOMC meeting next week and a rate hike is almost certain. But watch what they say in the policy statement: any hints of a more aggressive policy stance will feed directly into the Dollar and weigh on Gold.

What is driving the Bund up?

​As 2016 drew to a close the bull market in government bonds, including the Bund, was widely considered to be over due to two factors:  The election of Donald Trump as US President and his economic plans to ramp up spending and cut tax meaning a bigger budget deficit, higher inflation and higher interest rates, and The improving performance of economic activity in the US, but also in the Euro zone which fed strongly into equity markets, resulting in several global equity markets making new hi...

This week's Multi-Asset Fundamental Strategy Guide is attached. Recent US data makes a US rate hike look unlikely at this week's FOMC, and last week's ECB meeting left markets with the thought their QE program could continue longer than September's intended cut off date, then there is weak UK growth.

19th March 2018 - What's holding Oil back?

In spite of the two-month pause in the price action there are imbedded patterns close to completion that give the technical oil bulls hope. But John Lewis argues that the fundamental headwinds for the oil price, due to fracking or trade wars, are growing ever stronger.

What has happened to the Oil rally?

​Why has the rally stalled?  Though the charts remain positive for the moment, the market is vulnerable to falls from current levels is close support is broken. On the other hand, the fundamentals are suggesting a trading range because of the economics of shale production. So we think the oil price will struggle to break through $60 any time soon, but equally, $40 should act as a floor.

How much lower for Gold?

​The Dollar looks set for a long rally and Gold looks set to travel in the opposite direction. Despite the uncertainty surrounding many of his policies, the economics of Trump's incumbency look clearer and clearer: the period of cheap money arising out of financial crisis that has for so long underpinned gold. looks set to end.

CURRENCIES The drama of the Dollar Euro is dominant, with growing evidence that a top has been created for the Euro and further and growing Dollar strength is to be expected. Elsewhere Sterling looks under great and continued pressure - except against the Euro against which it remains solid. STOCKS: The S&P remains the market leader in technical terms. Eurostoxx looks woefully vulnerable as it languishes below multiple failed Prior Highs. FTSE too, now has fallen beneath Prior Highs, and compl...
