USD/JPY Analysis: The Rate Falls Below 140 Yen per Dollar

Despite today's public holiday in Japan, yen buyers remain active.

As shown on the USD/JPY chart, today's candle low has dropped below the psychological level of 140 yen per dollar. The last time this exchange rate was seen was on 28 July 2023.

On 11 August, when analysing the USD/JPY chart, we:
→ drew a descending channel (shown in red);
→ plotted a resistance line (shown in orange);
→ predicted the possibility of a bearish attack on the 140 yen per dollar level.

Current market sentiment is influenced by:
→ comments from Bank of Japan representative Junko Nakagawa, who stated last week that interest rates will continue to rise if economic and inflation forecasts align with expectations;
→ expectations of a rate cut from the Federal Reserve. A shift towards monetary easing now seems almost inevitable, with the main question being whether the rate will be reduced by 25 or 50 basis points.

Mastering Trading with the Symmetrical Triangle Chart Pattern

In technical analysis, a symmetrical triangle is one of the most popular tools traders use to analyse a price direction. It’s a bilateral formation, meaning it provides buy and sell signals. This is the biggest challenge for traders. In this FXOpen article, we will try to explain how to read and use the symmetrical triangle formation.

What Is a Symmetrical Triangle Pattern in Trading?

A symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern that relates to the triangle group, which also includes ascending and descending triangles. It’s a bilateral formation, so it may signal a fall or rise in the price.

Moreover, as with ascending and descending triangles, it can occur in an uptrend and downtrend and reflect a potential trend reversal or continuation. Still, according to the work Technical Analysis of Stock Trends by Robert D. Edwards and John Magee, in 75% of cases, the triangle is a continuation signal. Therefore, it can be assumed that a bullish symmetrical triangle pattern occurs in an uptrend, while a bearish symmetrical triangle pattern appears in a downtrend.

Understanding a Currency Peg: Definition, Mechanisms, and Implications

Fixed exchange rates, a cornerstone of international finance, play a pivotal role in shaping global commerce and investment landscapes. This article delves into their intricacies, exploring the historical evolution, practical understanding, and the balance of benefits and challenges they present.

Historical Context of Fixed Exchange Rates

The concept of fixed exchange rate systems has evolved over centuries, but its modern form gained prominence with the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944. This system was designed to rebuild the global economy after World War II by creating a stable international monetary framework. Under the Bretton Woods system, countries pegged their currencies to the US dollar, which in turn was backed by gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce. This arrangement aimed to maintain relative exchange rate stability, promote international trade, and prevent competitive currency devaluations.

FTSE 100 Bullish Ahead of Key Announcements

The chart of the UK stock index FTSE 100 (UK 100 on FXOpen) shows prevailing positive sentiment in the market. The right side of the daily chart displays a series of bullish candles, with a likelihood of this trend continuing today, as the price has been rising since the market opened.

This optimism is likely driven by the anticipation of key announcements:
→ Tomorrow at 09:00 GMT+3, the UK CPI figures will be released. Analysts expect inflation to remain steady without an increase.
→ Also tomorrow, at 21:00 GMT+3, the Federal Reserve will announce its decision on interest rates, with a cut seeming inevitable.

EUR/ZAR: A New Currency Pair for Trading on FXOpen

Traders using FXOpen can now incorporate the EUR/ZAR currency pair into their strategies.

The EUR/ZAR pair is known for its volatility, making it suitable for trend trading within a single day. On the other hand, as the daily chart (below) shows, the exchange rate remains within a range, which supports swing trading around key support and resistance levels.

What Influences the EUR/ZAR Exchange Rate?

Key factors affecting the value of the South African rand (ZAR) in 2024 include:

→ High Inflation: In January, inflation was 5.4%, but by July it had decreased to 4.6% due to high interest rates set by the South African Reserve Bank, which strengthen the rand.

→ Prices of Exported Commodities: Gold, platinum, and diamonds.

→ Political Instability: Domestic political events and reforms can trigger spikes in volatility.

S&P 500 Sets Record Ahead of Fed Decision

As shown by the S&P 500 index chart (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen), yesterday's trading saw the index hit a new intraday high of 5,678.9, surpassing the previous record of 5,677.5 set on 16 July. However, the bulls were unable to maintain this historic peak, which is a negative sign, suggesting the possibility of a bear trap scenario.

Nevertheless, this first new record in two months is significant as it shows the market's recovery from the panic-driven drop on 5 August, which was linked to fears of a potential recession.

Yesterday’s rise was boosted by the US Commerce Department's August retail sales report, which exceeded expectations. As Forbes noted, this supports the view that the US is not on the brink of a recession.

The market now heads into the final stretch before the highly anticipated Federal Reserve decision, expected today at 21:00 GMT+3, which will likely see the first interest rate cut in 4.5 years.

According to Forex Factory, analysts predict a rate cut to 5.25% from the current 5.50%. However, surprises are possible, with a 0.5% cut also on the table. Only a small minority seems to expect the rate to remain unchanged.

Fed Cuts Interest Rates by 0.5%

As we have frequently noted, a rate cut by the Federal Reserve seemed inevitable. Market participants debated whether the reduction would be 0.5% or 0.25%, and those predicting a 0.5% cut were proven correct.

According to Bloomberg, a narrow majority of 10 out of 19 committee members supported the 50-basis-point cut. Seven members favoured an additional 0.25% cut later this year, while two opposed any further reductions.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that the 0.5% cut "reflects our growing confidence that we can maintain labour market strength amid moderate growth and a steady decline in inflation to 2%". He added that interest rates are unlikely to return to the ultra-low levels seen for many years before the pandemic.

Financial markets reacted with increased volatility, with stock indices rising and the dollar strengthening slightly against other currencies. However, it is still too early to determine the impact of the Fed's decision on current trends.

Australian S&P/ASX 200 Index Hits All-Time High

As seen on the S&P/ASX 200 chart (Australia 200 on FXOpen), today's candle surpassed the 8200 level, marking a new all-time high.

Positive sentiment was driven by:

→ The Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates, which led to a surge in volatility and set historical records for gold prices (XAU/USD), the S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen), and others.

→ Today's positive news from the Australian labour market, showing that unemployment has not increased, and the number of new jobs created in the month exceeded expectations (actual = 47.5 thousand, forecast = 26.4 thousand).

Dollar Trades Mixed After Fed Rate Cut

The Federal Reserve surprised the market yesterday by cutting the dollar rate by 0.5%, with expectations that a similar reduction might occur by the end of the year. The dollar initially dropped sharply following the announcement but then partially recovered after comments from Jerome Powell. The Fed Chair stated that the current decision would not dictate the pace for further rate cuts and should help maintain stability in the labour market under current conditions.

Major currency pairs reacted strongly to the Fed's decision. The GBP/USD pair hit a new high for the year, dropping to 1.3100, while USD/JPY fell to 140.50 before strengthening by more than 200 pips. The USD/CAD pair managed to rise above 1.3600.

USD/JPY
The USD/JPY pair is under dual pressure. On one side, the US regulator is aggressively cutting rates, while the Bank of Japan plans to raise rates after a long period of ultra-low rates. In such conditions, the pair experiences high volatility, with a daily range of 200 pips.

According to technical analysis, the pair is undergoing a corrective pullback after forming a "hammer" pattern on the daily timeframe. Currently, the rise is constrained by a significant resistance level at 144.00. The price has been testing this level for about two weeks, and if buyers fail to hold above it in the upcoming trading sessions, a return to 141.00-140.00 is possible.

USD/ZAR: New Trading Opportunities at FXOpen

FXOpen traders can now incorporate the USD/ZAR currency pair into their strategies. If you want to diversify your portfolio and deal with market volatility, open an account now and enjoy USD/ZAR trading.

As shown by the USD/ZAR chart, on 19th September the price fell below the 17.400 level for the first time since February 2023.

It is likely that this was more due to the weakness of the US dollar ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rate cuts than to the strength of the South African rand.

However, after the decision was published, the ensuing surge in volatility led the price to hit a multi-month low, and today the USD/ZAR chart offers bulls increasing hope for a rebound.

The Price of Nike (NKE) Shares Surged by More Than 6%

Investors in Nike (NKE) can hardly call 2024 a successful year:
→ while the S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) has risen by over 20% since the beginning of the year and is hovering near historic highs,
→ the price of NKE shares has dropped by about 20% in 2024 and is now more than twice as low as its all-time high reached in 2021.

Nike’s shares have been in a downward trend for several months, driven by increasing competition, as confirmed by the latest quarterly report, which showed that sales remained flat, and the company forecasts a potential 10% decline in quarterly sales.

As CNN reports, many investors had been calling for changes at Nike. Thus, they welcomed the news of a leadership change – it was announced last week that the current CEO, John Donahoe, will retire next month and will be replaced by former Nike executive Elliott Hill – which led to a rise in the company’s shares by over 6% in a single day.
