Week to Aug 23rd


Trump tariff tweets, Muted FOMC Minutes, Sterling rally on Brexit hopes

Mon Aug 19
Today President Trump tweeted “we are doing very well” with the China trade talks, and there was a temporary reprieve for Huawei. This slight thaw kept markets up, and saw bond yields rise from last week’s lows. The 10-year was up 6.6bp. Equities and Oil carried on rising. The dollar was up evenly against all currencies, with CAD notably lower. Gold was down in line with the dollar, and bonds down in line with the equity move.


Tuesday August 20
As Italy’s government teetered on the brink of collapse, indices pulled back today after a three-day winning streak. All markets were down, particularly of course Italy with MIB down 1.1%. The FTSE fade was also notable as GBP joined other currencies rallying against USD. Gold and bonds rose for the same reason as yesterday as DXY gave up 0.21%. Oil was flat on the day.


Wednesday August 21
Markets recovered again today on strong earnings from retailers TGT and LOW, the former rising 20%. Indices were all up. USD was generally up (DXY +0.11%), except against CAD which outperformed after the Canadian inflation beat at 1230. Gold and bonds again moved in line, and Oil faded after a spike up following the EIA beat at 1430. The FOMC minutes were as generally expected and did not move the market.


Thursday August 22
Another directionless day as markets awaited Jackson Hole. SPX and NDX were slightly down with DJIA slightly up due to a rally in BA. DAX and EUR rallied briefly following the important German Manufacturing PMI beat at 0800, but ended the day lower. Today DXY shedded 0.05% but in reality was up generally against currencies and Gold. The reason was a strong rally in GBP up over 1% on Boris Johnson meeting European leaders and hopes of a Brexit deal.


Friday August 23
Today should have been all about Jackson Hole but it wasn’t. Fed Chair Powell’s speech was overshadowed by a curiously timed 4-tweet tirade by President Trump against China, ‘ordering’ US companies to repatriate their manufacturing jobs, and saying further tariffs would be announced later. The effect was brutal. SPX dropped 2.6% in a couple of hours, with similar moves seen around the world. 

Normally, bad tariff news has no effect or even helps USD. Not today. DXY fell 0.96%, it’s largest one-day move since Jan 12, 2018 - a day of index ATHs and a three-year dollar low. This ‘equities and currency’ panic, where both fall sharply together (like FTSE and GBP on Brexit day), is always followed by a swift recovery in one or the other sooner or later.

Obviously Gold and JPY soared, but so did every other currency, as Oil and yields fell sharply with equities. Immediately after the bell the President announced a 10% increase in certain China tariffs, causing even further fading in the small Friday AH market.



WEEKLY PRICE MOVEMENT
In this risk-off week, NDX fared worst amongst indices. EURCAD was the strongest pair, up 1.75%. FANGs are more volatile than NDX as a whole, and fared worse, with NFLX the biggest loser. A very flat week from crypto, we have rarely seen BTC move less than 1% in a week.

NEXT WEEK (all times are GMT)
(Calendar High volatility items are in bold)
  • Trade war hots up
  • Germany, Japan, Eurozone inflation
  • US and Canada GDP
  • End of calendar month

Monday August 26
Markets will be reacting the the G7 conference, and of course President Trump’s late Friday announcements on tariffs, and his flip-flop position on this over the weekend. The Durable/Capital Goods print moved markets notably last month, maybe it will do so again. Markets are closed in the UK, so expect reduced forex volatility as London is the centre for forex.

Week to Aug 16th


US delays some tariffs, 2/10 yield curve finally inverts, Textbook whipsaw week

Mon Aug 12
Trade war concerns continued to weigh on equities today, with SPX down 1.2%. Other world indices followed suit. The most severe move, though, was in yields, with the US 10-year falling 9bp to a new low of 1.65%, as investors moved from equities to bonds.

Risk instruments Gold and JPY were up, as was GBP, but a sharp weekend drop in EUR left DXY up 0.35%. Oil was surprisingly unaffected, and up slightly on the day.


Tuesday August 13
It’s all about the trade war, and this was proved today as President Trump announced (exactly as the US opened) that the additional tariffs on China would be delayed until December 1st. Markets reacted very strongly, as you can see from the charts above. SPX added 2% instantly, and a similar reaction was seen in all equity markets, which recovered Monday’s losses and then some.

Note what matters. DAX was up 0.6% and this was on a day that German inflation failed to beat estimates, and the ZEW Economic Sentiment estimate at 0900 came in at -44.1 (vs est -28.5), a new low.

In a textbook risk-on reaction, Gold, JPY and bonds instantly collapsed. A similar instant spike was seen in the commodity group, AUD, CAD and Oil. The effect was barely noticeable in EUR and GBP as these are not really considered to be risk on or off vis-a-vis the dollar. Both the European currencies were down on the day, coupled with the JPY move, added 0.45% to DXY.


Wednesday August 14
Before the bell today, the long-feared 2/10 yield curve inversion (the 10-year yield was lower than the 2-year) happened for the first time in 12 years. It had actually gone positive again by the time the market opened, but the move was enough to continue the whipsaw. Equity markets which all fell heavily, more than erasing Tuesday’s gains.

Everything went risk off again. Gold, JPY and bonds were sharply back up, AUD, CAD and Oil were equally sharply back down, and yields fell 12bp to a new low of 1.59%. Again the only quiet areas were EUR and GBP, the latter staying flat after the UK inflation beat at 0830.


Thursday August 15
Another bond record today, as the US 30-year bond yield fell under 2% for the first time since records began in the 1970s, and the UK equivalent fell to below 1% for the first time. Nevertheless, after the wild volatility of the last few days, equity markets took a breather. SPX was slightly up after the Retail Sales beat at 1230. The UK equivalent print at 0930 also beat, which was enough to send oversold GBP climbing, which inevitably depressed FTSE. NKY was also flat, but DAX fell.

The other components of DXY all fell, giving the basket a green candle (up 1.21%) for the day. The 10-year yield fell again, briefly touching the psychological 1.5% level. Oil was slightly down on the day, and Gold was slightly up.


Friday August 16
Markets recovered on Friday after a news report in Der Spiegel that Germany was prepared to run a budget deficit and increase debt and spending. DAX naturally rallied, and recoveries were seen in all equity markets. 

A smaller risk-on more today saw Gold, JPY and bonds fall slightly, and AUD, CAD and Oil rise. Further GBP gains and EUR decline saw a flat dollar overall.



WEEKLY PRICE MOVEMENT
The GBP recovery meant FTSE was the weakest index this week, and EURGBP was the weakest currency. A pullback was seen in crypto. FANGs followed the general trend, except for AAPL which outperformed.

09:00 EUR Eurozone CPI

Week to Aug 9th



Worst day of 2019 on Monday, Surprise NZD 50bp cut, GBP and FTSE both fade

Mon Aug 05
Today was the worst day of 2019 for indices, SPX was down 3% at the close, and carried on falling throughout the Tuesday Asian session, the largest 24 hour drop since the 5/6 Feb 2018 collapse. It touched a low in Asia of 5.43% down on Friday’s close. This was generally blamed on the Trump tariff tweet of last week coming immediately after the rate cut, although not helped by the bad miss on the US Non-Manuf PMI at 14:00 (53.7 vs 55.1). Services are supposed to be strong in the US (tech etc.)

DXY was similarly affected, down 0.71% at the close (the worst day since Jan 25 2019), and a low of 0.92% in the Asian session. EUR and JPY were around 1% up, but CAD and GBP hardly moved, and AUD fell 0.6% even against the weaker dollar. Gold was up in line with the dollar, Oil down in line with equities, and yields down in line with both.


Tuesday August 06
After such a large drop on Monday, indices rebounded about a quarter of the drop, as did DXY although only CAD was notably down, following Oil which continued to slide. EUR, GBP, AUD were more or less flat, and risk-off markers Gold, JPY and bond prices (inverse to yields) were up again. The AUD rate hold had no effect.


Wednesday August 07
A quieter day today as volatility receded, with SPX and DJIA more or less flat, but an advance for NDX and European indices. The dollar (and yields) were fairly flat as well with a slight advances in JPY balancing a pullback in Oil-linked CAD. Oil was at one point down 5.5%, but found June support around $51 and rebounded. 

The big news was the 50bp rate cut in New Zealand, when only 25bp was expected, which triggered an immediate 2.5% drop in the kiwi, and a sympathetic 1.5% fade in AUD. The Aussie recovered to close flat. The Antipodean currencies are not, of course, part of the DXY basket.


Thursday August 08
The recovering SPX and DJIA passed into last weekend’s gap territory. This is known as an ‘air pocket’, ie there is no resistance. The indices advanced evenly and closed the gap by the end of the day. Foreign indices followed suit. Some attributed this to the Chinese Trade Balance beat, although the move only really took off when the US cash session opened. Also today the PBoC allowed USDCNY to rise above 7.0, a significant roundpoint, marking an 11-year low for the renminbi.

A small aside, renminbi or “people’s currency” is the currency, yuan is the unit of account. Most other countries use the same word for both, the nearest example is sterling and pound in the UK. So you wouldn’t say ‘a thousand renminbi’, but you could say ‘the yuan is weak’.

Yet another dollar indecision day, with a slight move down (in yields as well) with the heavily DXY-weighted euro balancing moves up in JPY and CAD. AUD performed surprisingly well up 0.73%, possibly due to Gold pushing through the $1500 barrier for the first time in six years. 


Friday August 09
President Trump told reporters he was not ready to make a deal with China yet, and indices pulled back again today, although there was a partial recovery towards the US close. Of course, like all week, movement has been also a technical whipsaw following the enormous move on Monday. The dollar was well down (DXY -0.55%), and would have been more if GBP had not cratered again, as PM Johnson and allies rhetoric increases fears of a no-deal Brexit, and GBP keeps sliding towards 1.20 ‘Brexit floor’ and important psychological points, as it also tends to EURGBP parity. This ended the week with DXY down 1.09%, The yen was of course up, but despite all this, other risk indicators were contrarian: Gold was down, and yields and Oil were both up.


WEEKLY PRICE MOVEMENT
The Monday rout recovered to various degrees, but Brexit-troubled FTSE for once did not benefit from sterling weakness, and fell the most. Buying EURNZD would have been the best forex trade. BTC continued to rise, although not joined by ETH. FANGs are more volatile than NDX and therefore fell more, with NFLX the worst performer.

Monday 5 August 2019

Week to Aug 2nd



First rate cut for over a decade, Risk off on tariff tweet, GBP collapses

Mon Jul 29
In the absence of any specific news, which is often the case on Mondays, US equity markets slipped slightly from Friday’s highs, where other world markets advanced, in particular FTSE, which was up 1.82%, its best day in six months, mainly on currency, but also strong gains from LSE.L (up 15%) and JE.L (up 25%) on merger news, and AZ.L (up 4%) and VOD.L (up 6.4%) on earnings.

The currency market was directionless, with slight moves in EUR and Gold (up), AUD and JPY (down), but the big mover was GBP, down 1.33% as new PM Johnson’s bold ’no-deal’ Brexit plans continued. Oil was up, but yields were flat.


Tuesday July 30
Today President Trump criticised China’s intransigence in the trade talks (ie saying a deal is less likely/further away). Markets were down again, with DAX coming off particularly sharply, after the Eurozone Business Climate at 0900 and German inflation print at 1200 missed. (CPI 1.1% v 1.3% est).

DXY was completely flat, with a further 0.46% fade in GBP balancing slight gains in other currencies and Gold. Oil followed the weaker dollar and yields had a second flat day.


Wednesday July 31
The long awaited Fed rate cut came today, and it was only 25bp, and Chair Powell made it clear this was an “insurance” cut, and not a start of a series of easing moves. As you know from previous reports, some people were hoping for 50bp. Equity markets, which had been flat, fell on the news, and USD appreciated sharply (DXY +0.50%) with all currencies, Gold and Oil down. Yields fell 5bp on bond/stock rotation.


Thursday August 01
Today was most unusual. Markets quickly recovered from yesterday’s sharp move (and USD similarly gave up its gains), only for everything to change again when President Trump tweeted his plans to impose yet more tariffs on $300bn of Chinese goods. SPX moved from a +1% to -1% position in minutes. World equities followed suit, this time NKY showing the biggest move.

The USD reaction was pure risk-off. DXY was up 0.18% because EUR moved little, and GBP and CAD hardly at all. AUD fell sharply along with indices. However there was a huge move up in JPY (up 1.3%)  and Gold (up 2%), classic risk-off instruments. Oil had its worst day for nearly three years, falling 7.4% at one point, to close 5.9% down. Similarly yields fell nearly 12bp, the largest one-day drop for 15 months.


Friday August 02
The rout continued today, with all markets falling, ignoring the normally very important NFP print, although this unusually (and must be for the first time in years) came in exactly as estimated at 164k, as did the the AHE and unemployment figures. Other currencies followed the yen and Gold and all moved upwards against USD. DXY was down 0.3%. Yields continued down to touch 1.846%, a level not seen since the day of Trump’s election. Oil made a slight recovery.


WEEKLY PRICE MOVEMENT
Markets all fell on the ‘hawkish’ rate cut and the Trump tariff tweet. DAX fared worst losing 4.41%. Risk off yen and Brexit GBP meant a GBPJPY short would have made you 3.61%, the largest weekly forex move for years. A relatively quiet week in crypto, and the FAANG stocks all suffered more than NDX itself, with AMZN losing most.

NEXT WEEK (all times are GMT)
(Calendar High volatility items are in bold)

  • Aus and NZ rate decisions
  • Further trade war news expected
  • China inflation and trade figures
  • Will UK GDP help sterling?

Monday August 05
The only releases today are PMIs. Of more interest is any retaliation to Trump’s tariff tweet on Thursday. The president mollified his position with a tweet on Saturday saying things are going “very well” with China. The weekend proprietary market run by British broker IG Markets didn’t buy it, with DJIA down another 80 points.

Fed Brainard (voter) speaks today, but only on payment systems. Also today are USTR hearings on EU Airbus subsidies, and EU/|US talks continue this week.
