Forex Today: Key US data prompt some caution

Source Fxstreet

The FX universe traded mostly within a range bound theme, as investor assessed the political front in the US, while cautiousness kicked in ahead of important data releases due later in the week.

Here is what you need to know on Tuesday, July 23:

The USD Index (DXY) saw its recent uptick somewhat curtailed, faltering once again around the 200-day SMA near 104.40. Existing Home Sales, the Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index and the weekly report on crude oil inventories by the API are all due on July 23.

EUR/USD regained some acceptable traction and managed to revisit the 1.0900 neighbourhood. On July 23, the European Commission will publish its Consumer Confidence gauge. In addition, the ECB’s Lane will also speak.

GBP/USD picked up pace and reversed two daily pullbacks in a row, shifting its attention back to the 1.3000 region. The next data release of note in the UK will be the preliminary PMIs for the month of July on July 24.

The erratic performance in the greenback and higher US and Japanese yields left USD/JPY with modest losses around the 157.00 zone. The advanced Jibun Bank PMIs are next in “The Land of the Rising Sun” on July 24.

AUD/USD extended its bearish move further south of 0.6700 the figure on the back of lower commodities and disheartening news from China. Coming up next on the Australian docket will be the Judo Bank flash PMIs.

Demand concerns and easing geopolitical fears weighed on WTI and dragged prices to fresh lows below the $78.00 mark per barrel.

Gold prices remained on the defensive and broke below the key $2,400 mark per ounce troy. Same performance saw Silver prices retreat for the fourth straight day and print new monthly lows near $28.70 per ounce.

Bitcoin lost its 200-day average — but the exit started three sessions before the CPI Bitcoin fell 2.5% to about $73,400 on 11 November, an 11-week low, breaking its 200-day moving average near $73,100. The 24-hour liquidation tally reached $632 to $705 million, roughly 82% of it longs. But spot ETF outflows began three sessions earlier and USDT's market cap has shrunk $6.6 billion in 60 days — the leveraged length left before the inflation print did. A double top at 81,890 and 81,080 leaves a measured target of 69,366.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't break Nvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you think Spot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.

Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same week Brent January settled at 95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI at 88.74, up 2.55%, after the US signalled it would not pursue a deal with Iran and attacks on Gulf shipping continued. In the same week, EIA data showed US crude inventories rising 4.657 million barrels against expectations of a 1.1 million draw, with gasoline up another 1.799 million. OPEC output also rebounded 1.96 million barrels a day to 27.16 million in October, led by Saudi Arabia at 10.56 million. This piece separates the geopolitical premium from the physical balance and lays out where each side of the trade is anchored.
