USDJPY – A reversal signal before the BOJ meeting?

USDJPY, H4

The USDJPY pair has eased from the high seen last week at 139.38 ahead of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) interest rate decision meeting on Thursday. The bank is expected to maintain the ultra-low interest rate that has been in place since January 2016 at -0.1%, while other major central banks are using aggressive interest rates to curb rising inflation. Although the Japanese government has begun to express concerns about the sharp decline in the Yen, it has declined to comment on intervention.

In addition to keeping the interest rate negative, efforts to curb bond yields near 0% at 0.25% were evident during the second quarter of 2022, when Japan’s 10-year Treasury yields swung up and down in the 0.25% zone, another factor that put pressure on the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, Japan’s inflation rate rose for the ninth straight month to a seven-and-a-half-year high of 2.5% in April and May, and its GDP growth rate in Q1 contracted to -0.1% from 1% in Q4.

However, the BOJ’s interest rate decision meeting may be in the spotlight for the short term. If the market finds no surprise or interference from the Japanese government they will turn their attention to the next Fed rate decision meeting that is taking place next week. The Fed is expected to raise interest rates another 0.75% after a major rate hike of 0.75% in June too.

The USDJPY started the week with a correction above 138.00, while in the larger timeframe saw a rising wedge reversal pattern in the H4 timeframe that has been forming since May. This is accompanied by the bearish divergence signal seen in the Day timeframe, with support at 137.00, 136.30 and the next support at the 134.80 zone. The uptrend sees the possibility of a hidden bullish divergence that could encourage the pair to swing further in the rising wedge, which has first resistance at the previous high at 139.38 and the psychological figure of 140.00.

Is the eurozone heading for another crisis?

The eurozone avoided breakup when Greece couldn’t repay its debts after the 2008 financial crisis. Now it’s in trouble again, says John Stepek. And this time the focus is on Italy – a much bigger economy than Greece.

Japan’s Nikkei rose, catching up after the long weekend. In Europe, concerns about Russian gas supplies increased. Media reports suggest that the European Commission is preparing voluntary targets for member states to reduce gas consumption. The UK labour market report released this morning were mixed. It showed unemployment unchanged at 3.8% in the three months to May, in line with expectations. Employment rose by a robust 296k in the latest three months, but the timelier payrolled employees measure rose by less than expected at 31k in June and the prior month was revised down as well. Regular pay growth (excluding bonuses) edged up to 4.3% from 4.2%, as expected, while total pay growth was weaker than expected, falling to 6.2% from 6.8%. In real terms after adjusting for inflation, wage growth is falling, including a record fall in real regular wage growth. The number of unfilled vacancies remained high at 1.3 million but appears to have topped out. Later this morning, Eurostat’s final release for Eurozone June CPI inflation is expected to confirm the earlier flash estimate of 8.6%y/y which was stronger than predicted. The release comes ahead of the ECB’s expected announcement on Thursday for the first increase in interest rates for eleven years. The relatively quiet US calendar this week includes housing reports. Housing starts and building permits data will be released this afternoon. Yesterday’s NAHB survey of homebuilders confirmed slowing activity in the sector as interest rates rise. Attention returns to the UK this evening. A further vote in the Conservative leadership contest is expected to whittle down the number of candidates to the three. The scheduled TV debate this evening will not now take place. Markets will be more focused on BoE Governor Bailey’s Mansion House speech, as speculation grows on whether interest rates may be raised by 50bp in early August rather than 25bp. New Chancellor of the Exchequer Zahawi will also address the event. More UK data will be released at 7am tomorrow. Look for an annual headline CPI inflation to increase for a ninth straight month, to 9.3% in June from 9.1%, lifted by higher fuel prices. The core measure (excluding food and energy), however, is expected to fall for a second month, to 5.7% from 5.9%, but it will still be at an elevated level.FX Options Expiring 10am New York Cut EUR/USD: 1.0100 (562M), 1.0150-55 (1.31B), 1.0200-05 (892M) USD/JPY: 136.00 (1.3B), 138.00 (2.72B), 138.50-55 (939M), 138.75 (555M) USD/JPY: 139.25 (537M), 140.00 (1.53B).

RBOB GASOLINE FUTURES (RB1!), H4 Potential For Bullish Rise

Type: Bullish RiseKey Levels:Resistance: 3.3488Pivot: 3.2843Support: 3.1886Preferred Case:On the H4, with prices moving above the ichimoku cloud and along the ascending trendline , we have a bullish bias that price will rise to the pivot at 3.2843 in line with the swing high resistance, 50% fibonacci retracement and 78.6% fibonacci projection . Once there is upside confirmation of price breaking pivot structure, we would expect bullish momentum to carry price to 1st resistance at 3.3488 in line with pullback resistance, 61.8% fibonacci retracement and 161.8% fibonacci extension .Alternative Scenario:Alternatively, price may drop to the 1st support level at 3.1886 in line with the pullback support.Fundamentals: Investors are worried interest-rate hikes will slow the economy as central banks get aggressive in combating inflation , giving us a lower demand for gasoline and resulting in a bearish view on gasoline. We'll need to exercise caution for this setup because our fundamentals and technicals are not completely aligned.

Major Bank Earnings Miss, What About the Tech Sector?

Earnings reports from JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and other banks missed market expectations and have set a weak tone ahead of scheduled reports for Bank of America and Goldman Sachs.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. reported last week that diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $2.76, down 27% from the same period last year. Net revenue reported in Q2 2022 was $30.7 billion, 1% more year-on-year, while net profit plunged 28% year-on-year to $8.6 billion.

Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley’s net income in the second fiscal quarter of 2022 fell 10.8% year-on-year to $13.1 billion, well below market expectations. Net income in Q2 2022 fell 28.6% y/y to $2.5 billion, while diluted earnings per share stood at $1.39, down 24.9% over the same period in 2021. By segment, Institutional Securities earnings stood at $6.1 billion, down from $7.1 billion a year earlier. Wealth and Investment Management revenues also shrunk compared to the same period in 2021, to $5.7 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively.

BlackRock reported EPS of $7.06, down 21% y/y. Revenue for the same quarter fell 6% from $4.8 billion to $4.5 billion, with operating income of $1.7 billion, down 14% over the same period last year.

Wells Fargo and Co revenue for Q2 2022 was $17.03 billion, down 15.9% over the same period last year. Net income was almost twice lower year on year, down about 48% to reach $3.11 billion in the last quarter of 20221, with diluted earnings per share also down 46% to $0.74 per year.

Its earnings for Q2 2022 Citigroup Inc. grew 11% year-on-year to $19.6 billion. Net income was $4.5 billion, down 27%, while earnings per share (EPS) fell 23% year-on-year to $2.19. The decline in revenue was driven by higher cost of credit and higher expenses, but was partially offset by an increase in revenue.

Bank of America maintains its buy rating ahead of Monday’s Q2 earnings report, although the longer-term price trend is still down. For the quarter to be reported, the Zacks Consensus EPS Forecast is at $0.77, recording a double-digit decline of 25% in year-over-year quarterly revenue. Additionally, six analysts have lowered their quarterly outlook over the past 60 days, with the Consensus Forecast Trend down 5%. The reported EPS for the same quarter last year was $1.03. Bank of America is currently at Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). In Q1 2022, the market especially reacted badly to the quarterly results. However, quarterly earnings forecasts show top-line strength; Estimated quarterly revenue of $23 billion recorded a solid 7% growth in sales from last year’s quarter.

Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. will also report earnings on the same day, before the market opens. According to Zacks Investment Research, based on 9 analyst forecasts, the consensus EPS forecast for the quarter was $6.99 reflecting a 53.46% year-on-year decline. The reported EPS for the same quarter last year was $15.02. For their most recent quarter, The Goldman Sachs Group reported earnings of $10.76 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.61 per share. This reflects a positive earnings surprise of 24.97%.

Meanwhile, Tesla will reveal how a tough Q2 affected revenue and how upgrades at its factories are progressing. CEO of Tesla Inc. Elon Musk said last Friday that the company could lower the price of electric vehicles if inflation eased. Musk wrote the comments in a tweet in response to user questions about whether Tesla has plans to lower its price due to problems with the supply chain. Earlier this month, Tesla said June was the most successful month in its history in terms of production, despite ongoing problems with the supply chain that resulted in temporary closures and layoffs at some of its plants. Tesla, Inc. expected to report earnings on Wednesday, after market close. Zacks’ Consensus estimates for earnings and quarterly earnings to be reported are pegged at $1.91 per share and $17.48 billion, respectively. Tesla reported revenue of $18.76 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a +80.5% year-on-year change. EPS $3.22 for the same period compared to $0.93 last year. Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $17.28 billion, the reported revenue represents a +8.57% surprise.

While Twitter’s earnings report is likely to be overshadowed by the ongoing dispute with Elon Musk. Twitter, Inc.’s board of directors. asked the company’s shareholders to approve the takeover of the company by the CEO of Tesla, Inc. Elon Musk’s $44 billion as the final step towards a deal. On Tuesday, Twitter initiated a lawsuit against Elon Musk in Delaware Cancer Court, after he ended a $44 billion deal to buy the social media company. Elon Musk has officially asked for more time to prepare for the Twitter, Inc. lawsuit. regarding its withdrawal from a $44 billion agreement to take over the company. Twitter, Inc. expected to report earnings on Friday before the market opens. The instant messaging service is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.16 per share in its forthcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -20%. Revenue is expected to be $1.33 billion, up 11.8% from last year’s quarter.

Netflix will be put to the test once again as investors brace for more subscribers this quarter. Netflix Inc. announced last week that it would partner with Microsoft on a new ad-supported subscription plan for clients, in addition to its existing ad-free basic, standard and premium plans. The statement was published a day after the Wall Street Journal reported that Netflix was talking to several Hollywood studios about changing agreements to allow streaming companies to offer their content on ad-supported versions of the platform. And this effort, will not affect the earnings report this time. Netflix, Inc. expected to report earnings on Tuesday, after market close. Zacks’ Consensus forecast for earnings is currently pegged at $2.90 per share, down 2% over the past 30 days. The figure represents a 2. 36% decline from the figure reported last year’s quarter. Netflix expects total revenue to increase 9.7% year over year to $8.053 billion
