US stock market bulls are facing a reality check (3 ominous signs to watch)
Goods-based inflationary pressures in the US may resurface in H2 2024 due to leading bullish momentum built-up in commodities. Persistent low correlation readings among S&P 500 constituents may trigger a spike in the VIX. The leading Nasdaq 100 has displayed bearish reversal elements. The US stock market continued to hit another milestone last week when the benchmark S&P 500 recorded 14 weekly gains in the past 15 weeks as of 9 February 2024, its longest winning streak since 1972.

GBP/JPY - Eases from highs after weaker UK inflation data
UK inflation unchanged in January Markets expect BoE rate cut in Q2 GBPJPY pares gains after hitting 8.5 year high UK inflation data this morning will have been a welcome surprise for the Bank of England but there's still a long way to go. Unfavorable base effects were expected to lift headline and core CPI last month but in both cases, they stayed at the same level. A small win but a win nonetheless for the BoE. It was already expected to fall back to target in the second quarter before rebo

Gold - Falls below $2,000 after resilient display this year
US inflation report hits gold Fewer Fed rate cuts priced into markets A loss of major technical support US inflation data finally took its toll on gold which, after holding strong above $2,000 this year, finally crumbled under the pressure of higher rates. How much worse it gets for the yellow metal will ultimately depend on how bad the data gets but, under the circumstances, we're certainly back in a "good news is bad news" scenario ahead of the retail sales data.

EUR/USD - Three-month low after US inflation disappointment
US inflation falls less than expected Fed rate cuts scaled back in markets EURUSD falls and momentum builds This is not the inflation report that the Federal Reserve wanted to see and markets have responded accordingly. Inflation in January was hotter than expected across the board. The headline and core monthly readings printed at 0.3% while the annual readings came in at 3.1% and 3.9%, respectively. While an improvement at the headline level, it's less so than markets were positioned for an

UK wage growth slows to 5.8% (inc bonus) and 6.2% (exc bonus) in December CPI eyed tomorrow with UK expected to be confirmed as in recession on Thursday EURGBP sell-off accelerates in key support zone The UK continues to make progress toward being able to cut interest rates but as has been the case throughout the last couple of years, the process is not straightforward.

GBP/JPY - Testing highs ahead of key UK economic data
UK wage growth key to BoE sustainably hitting inflation target GBPJPY struggling near recent highs Divergence points to loss of momentum The coming days offer several important data points for the UK that could help determine when the Bank of England starts cutting interest rates and, by extension, where the currency is headed in the coming months. The jobs report on Tuesday is always widely followed but with the unemployment component less reliable than normal, it's the average earnings that

USD/CAD - Rebound running on fumes ahead of Canadian employment data
US jobless claims no longer trending lower Canadian unemployment expected to rise again USDCAD running low on momentum near key resistance The US dollar has performed well recently, buoyed by some strong US economic figures that have forced traders to pare back rate cut expectations.
