USDOLLAR (Ticker: USDollar):
- Dow Jones-FXCM U.S. Dollar Index struggling to hold gains as Fed Chair Janet Yellen retains a dovish tone for monetary policy at the Humphrey-Hawkins Testimony.
- Seems Chair Yellen remains in no rush to normalize monetary policy as the central bank head continues to highlight slack in labor market, subdued wages and the weakness in housing.
- Will retain the bearish outlook for the USDOLLAR as U.S. Retail Sales, Yellen Testimony fails to prop up interest rate expectations.
GBP/USD:
- Bullish outlook remains favorable as price & the Relative Strength Index (RSI) retain the bullish trend from earlier this year.
- Appears to have carved a higher-low around 1.7065 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) as stronger inflation raises bets for Bank of England (BoE) rate hike.
- With U.K. Jobless Claims expected to contract another 27.0K in June, a positive market reaction may trigger a more meaningful run at the 1.7200 pivot, followed by confluence of Fibonacci expansions around 1.7220-30.
NZD/USD:
- New Zealand dollar may trade to fresh record-highs over the next 24-hours of trade as New Zealand inflation is expected to pick up, while China GDP figures are anticipated to show a faster rate of growth for the second-quarter.
- The 2011 high (0.8841) remains the key topside level to watch followed by the 0.8850 region (61.8% Fib expansion) ahead of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) policy meeting on July 23.
- Credit Suisse Overnight Index Swaps (OIS) shows market participants are pricing a 91% chance for a 25bp rate hike next week.
