AUD/USD Technical Analysis

On the weekly chart of AUD/USD at FXOpen, the pair climbed higher above the 0.6540 and 0.6900 resistance levels. However, the Aussie Dollar failed to clear the 0.7150 zone against the US Dollar.
As a result, there was a bearish reaction from the 0.7150 zone. The pair corrected lower below the 0.6900 pivot level and the 50-week simple moving average. Besides, there was a spike below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 0.6170 swing low to the 0.7157 high.
On the AUD/USD chart, the pair is now showing bearish signs below the 50-week simple moving average and a crucial bearish trend line with resistance near 0.6900. Only a successful daily close above 0.6900 might start a strong recovery toward the 0.7150 level.
Any more gains might send the pair toward the 0.7550 level. The next major resistance sits near the 0.8000 resistance. On the downside, the first major support is near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the 0.6170 swing low to the 0.7157 high at 0.6540.
The next major support is near the 0.6400 level, below which the pair may perhaps extend its decline toward the 0.6170 level. Any more losses might call for a move toward the 0.6000 level.

EUR/USD Approaches Important Support



Yesterday, EUR/USD hit new May’s lows. This week’s latest news contributed to the decline:
→ Germany's GDP in Q1 2023 decreased by 0.3% compared to the previous three months. German media write about the official start of the recession.
→ The US economy in Q1 grew by 1.3% in annual terms.
→ Worrying opinions are spreading about a possible crisis due to the situation in the US housing market. According to JPMorgan analysts, the next shock to the US banking system could be loans for commercial real estate.
→ Traders see the dollar as a reliable asset in the face of the not yet raised US government debt ceiling.

The EUR/USD chart shows that the rate has already fallen by 3.3% from the peaks of May. The rate is approaching the psychological mark of USD 1.07 per euro, which may support the market.

US Debt Default Date Gets Nearer. Will the Dollar Retain Dominance over the Pound?



It’s all so predictable, isn’t it?

Politics and suspense go hand in hand, and when it comes to potential cracks in the economy and central monetary policy of the United States, the issuer of the world’s de facto reserve currency, that’s what keeps the markets going.
Over recent weeks, the global media and the US Federal Reserve have been engaging in a dance with each other, involving speculation and suspense in the advent of the United States government’s ability or otherwise to be able to maintain payments on its debt commitments after June 1 this year.
That date is now fast approaching, especially considering that today is a public holiday across many nations in Europe and North America, giving the reality of the outcome just two working days to make itself known.

Interestingly, very little impact has been felt by traders of the US Dollar, and today’s currency market shows no change in this dynamic.
Ordinarily, if one of the world’s most important and influential economies is about to become insolvent, the currency issued by its central bank would depreciate like an iron girder being thrown off a precipice.
In the case of the US Dollar, this has simply not been the case at all, and the US Dollar has continued its rise against other majors, especially the British Pound.

EURO STOXX 50 Hits 2-month Low



During the first 3 days of this week, the price of EURO STOXX 50 (SX5E) has fallen by more than 3%.

This was facilitated by:
→ lower oil prices on the eve of the OPEC+ meeting scheduled for June 4. The Saudi oil minister urged market speculators to "be careful”;
→ uncertainty about the US debt ceiling. While a deal has been tentatively reached, it has yet to be officially approved by the Senate. There are only a few hours left;
→ reduced shares of European companies producing luxury goods due to falling demand;
→ disappointing data from China (we wrote about it yesterday), with which Europe is actively trading.

NASDAQ 100 Overtakes Bitcoin



This is how prices for popular exchange-traded assets changed from March 1 to May 31:
→ The price of the NASDAQ 100 increased by almost 20%
→ The price of the S&P-500 increased by almost 6%
→ The price of gold increased by almost 7%
→ The price of bitcoin increased by almost 14%
→ The price of Ethereum increased by almost 12%
For a long time, cryptocurrencies were the leaders of the spring market, but in May, the NASDAQ-100 made a sharp leap upwards, thanks to the soaring of the NVDA share price and the hype around artificial intelligence (AI).

What will happen in summer?

According to Citigroup analysts, there is a risk that the rally in US technology stocks will end as investors want to take profits.
Perhaps the hype around AI will decrease, as its widespread adoption should take time. Barclays analysts note that past game-changing technologies took several decades to show up at the level of the entire economy. Take electricity, automobiles, and refrigeration, for example – US labor productivity skyrocketed in the 1950s, 3-4 decades after these technologies were introduced.
