Last German investor confidence (Zew Index) slumped as its economy stagnates, sending the euro cheaper than $1.08 for the first time since 2017. Last German GDP data ticked lower than expected. Last German Manufacturing data confirms a recovery from the lows of the end of 2019.
In his second day of testimony, U.S. Fed’s Chair Powell suggested that there was little reason for the Fed to cut rates as the economy remained in a good place, despite the recent coronavirus outbreak.
Last U.S. Unemployment Rate data ticked higher. Also, last U.S. ADP Nonfarm Employment Change and ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI better than expected.
ECB President Christine Lagarde recently noted: ‘We will not leave any stone unturned and how we measure inflation is clearly something we need to look at.’
We are Oversold from Neutral. As we wrote, a confirmed breakout of 1.098 would quickly drag the price below our important Demand Area (at 1.087). 1.087 will be recovered soon and First Target remains in area 1.098: we are about to witness a price swing.
Our special Fibo Retracement is confirming the following S/R levels against the Monthly and Weekly Trendlines obtained by connecting the relevant highs and lows back to 2012:
Weekly Trend: Oversold
1st Resistance: 1.1055

Last UK Retail Sales data better than expected. Last UK Job Market data showed some resilience. Last UK GDP data ticked higher than expected but UK Manufacturing Production is doing very bad.
Sterling weak as Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chief EU Negotiator Michel Barnier laid out opposing visions for the relationship between the two groups post-Brexit. Fears still exist that the UK could end the transition period at the end of this year without a trade deal.
Economists currently put the odd of Interest Rate reduction at about 50%. Yet investors and forecasters will be in the dark about the views from agents until the decision is announced, when the accompanying Monetary Policy Report will include a section summarizing the feedback.
We are still Overbought. As we wrote in the previous commentaries, First Supply Area is in area 1.336 and after that test a reversal would have occurred (with breakout of 1.30). Now eyes to our second Support, 1.275 Area.

The Westpac Consumer Sentiment Index fell by 1.8% to 93.4 in January. In December, the index had fallen by 1.9% to 95.1. According to the latest Westpac Report, the bushfires reportedly contributed to the downside. The currently low levels in consumer confidence are consistent with lackluster consumer spending figures.
Despite upward momentum in the equity markets and improved sentiment towards the global economy, all the economic components of the index declined.
