IF I were the FED chair ( hihihi)

–

you would do well (for your own welfare and wellbeing) to remember that the FED’s first job is to protect the Banking System befoare the peasant population. In fact IF the peasants in aggregate bshould somehow threaten the Banking System, the gloves are to be taken off.

If I was in Fed Chair Powell’s shoes, I would pat myself on the back and just look to confirm what economists are forecasting, which is for 75bps of rate cuts this year.

Further data for economic consideration:

·        The hire to job openings ratio between 2018-2020 was 0.85 on average.

·        The ratio has since fallen to its current rate of roughly 0.35, which is a 500% decrease.

·        This equates to hirings having fallen from 8 hires per 10 job postings to 4 out of 10.

For consideration regarding real economics according to the respected source Resume Builder:

1.      4 out of 10 jobs posted in the US in 2024 were “fake.”

2.      3 out of every 10 jobs in 2024 had roles that were not “real.”

This, added to the BLS not reporting almost 1 million job losses in the last report, and the continued high inflation in real terms not “how its doing the last two years” is not the rosy picture some are painting.

Result:

1.      Buy military defense, gold, energy dividend,  AI, and staple stocks.

2.      Bonds/notes.

3.      Less performance related currencies.

4.      Coffee and Booze related commodities.

The UsdJpy 146.25 magnet I’ve been mentioning the last two days is quite active with some expected over/under.  Last hurrah is just above for a bit of time.  Current problems with it:

1.      Major bank executives have voiced no confidence in US government data from this administration in light of the hidden in plain sight BLS fraud.

2.      Stocks are likely to remain in trouble overall regardless of the FED being forced to lower rates coming up in part to the fraudulent data and the fact that almost 1 million job losses went unreported with more to come showing an unstable economy.

3.      The short side of UsdJpy is dicey with the evaporation of confidence due to the uncertainty and stronger in stocks now than before.

Rates will be reduced but now the impact is likely reduced.  So USD is a matter of the extent pricing in has been achieved.

big picture: when viewed from the 2008 High, the current Euro rally since October 2022 lacks conviction and will soon turn lower :gtwo3

Another flurry on medium data release.

US bond yields are higher, likely giving a heavily sold dollar some support.

Helped by the anti-dollar staying below 1.1150.

Jobless claims caused a flurry but a non-event.

Next up US S&P Global PMIs, not as impoertant as the ISM but these days all data seems to see a reaction.

All eyes are looking ahead to Powell tomorrow.

[GVI Forex]

This weekly jobless claims coincides with the BLS jobs survey window for NFP to be reported on Sept 6

So this is seen as a key weekly jobless claims report.

[SF Monedge]

UsdJpy is bid in buy mode until the 146.25 area where the odds of that changing increase a bit more than moderately.  The number 25 is not a magical reversion it is just working that way this time.

Every time the Jobless Claims comes up
I am reminded of the cheek of dubya

“You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn’t it? I mean, that is fantastic that you’re doing that.” – Bush to mother of three

NEXT UP ARE WEEKLY JOBLESS CLAIMS AFTER LAST WEEK’S SURPRISE DROP.

THIS DATA HAS BEEN ELEVATED IN IMPORTANCE GIVEN THE FED’S FOCUS ON THE JOBS MARKET.

EURGBP DAILY CHART – TUG-Of-WAR

Break of .8500 makes this the pivotal BIAS SETTING level with little on charts until .8382-8407

This has created a tUg-of-war between EURUSD )trading below 1.1150) and GBPUSD (extending high with the 2023 peak at 1.3141 looming above).

Note 100 (blue) and 200 (yellow) mVas

GBPUSD Daily

Supports : 1.31050, 1.30750 & 1.30350

Resistances : 1.31300, 1.32050 & 1.36200

1.32050 being a top of the channel might prove hard to crack – at least on the first attempt.

However, Cable has a tendency to break every and any level, so wouldn’t surprise me if we see it above – if not this, then next week.

EURUSD

Daily chart

4h chart

Supports : 1.11300, 1.11100 & 1.10950

Resistances : 1.11450, 1.11550 & 1.11850

Time wise – we should be seeing some kind of a correction at least.

As long as 1.10950 holds, we are in Up trend.

Pattern wise – angle of climb is suggesting : More to come

Ultimate Target – 1.13300
