US100 - NASDAQ INDEXNASDAQ (US100) - The market has made a corrective move upwards in an ABC form. The larger trend correction can be termed as WXY with Y likely to end near the previous low (10,440), or possibly lower.
The last high of 15930 needs to hold with price making lower lows from here onwards.

Honeywell: Swoop 🦅For two weeks now, Honeywell stock has been heading south, losing more than 10%. It has completed the magenta wave (B) and is currently in the same colored wave (C). Even though the price has rallied a bit this week, we believe that the end of this wave is only in sight further south in our green target zone between $182.14 and $173.09 and that the price should continue to fall. At the green target zone, the overarching correction in the form of the green wave (2) will be completed, which should set the stage for very substantial gains.
Yen's Resilience Challenged: What's Next for USD/JPY? The Yen's struggle against the US Dollar persists this week, as the USDJPY settles above 143.00 and reaches a new high for the third consecutive day. After some sideways trading, traders are now resuming a bullish push aimed at reaching the recent high of 143.9000, followed by potential targets at 144.00 and 145.050.
Last week, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) surprised the markets by making a slight adjustment to the Yield Curve Control (YCC) policy. While this adjustment might have been relatively small, it has kept market participants alert to the possibility of FX intervention if the Yen continues to weaken. In this context, the 50-day MA at 141.430 could offer immediate support.
The most significant event to watch on the calendar is tomorrow's US Consumer Price Index (CPI) release. A CPI figure lower than anticipated could put pressure on the USD/JPY pair, whereas a higher reading could renew interest in levels above 145.000. However, the potential for BoJ intervention remains a concern for traders operating above this threshold.
NAS100 6/8/23NAS100 giving us a very nice sell range here which carried across from last week we have a lot of confluences for this setup and overall we are looking for it to play out the only thing that tells us we might not get to our entry point is the fact that we are pushing on the swing low already if we are to break this then the setup will become invalid but it will provide us with a new swing high that essentially has a lot of confluences with it as well. overall we want to see the liquidity swept out of the high of our range tapping us into a high volume New York order block which is yet to be mitigated, now we're going to look to sell this lower down to our swing low which is our overall target for liquidity.

6/8/23 US-Oil US oil here giving us a clear bullish range to the upside after sweeping out the Asia load and London low from Friday we're taking this as a signal price once you travel higher so we're going to look to buy from the low of the range. Now overall this range has everything we've looked for within a setup but of course we will use the same systems we always use and look for a clean entry, overall we are bullish on oil so we're going to look to buy from the low.

DXY + Federal government Interest payment | BRICS
The problem with raising rates to deal with inflation is if you have debt the entire system will seize up.
We should be understanding why on earth there is so much interest on Russia at the moment, its because the USA is literally stuck with too much debt, not low enough inflation, BRICS *Russia* notices this and has made a move right in our faces.
And honestly Russia have done nothing but want to help throughout history they just want their fair share of resource profits, rightly so too.
Middle east / Petrodollar.
Russia / BRICS.
This will mean the more BRICS + currency is adopted the less power QE in the USD will have meaning more QE until hyperinflation, good luck trying to stop a country with more nuclear weapons than all of us combined.
The end of the dollar in its current form could be here before 2030.

Tit-for-tat in the green arms race should tighten metal suppliesThe energy transition - the process of moving away from greenhouse gas intense energy consumption towards more renewable energy sources - presents a significant positive demand shock for the metals needed to build out grid infrastructure, distribution and transmission cabling, vehicle charging infrastructure, battery components, solar panels, and wind turbines. However, many nations who are trying to deliver on their promises to meet ‘net zero’ pledges have come to the realisation that much of the supply chain to produce the metals and the green energy components is currently far out of their jurisdiction and sphere of influence. The Covid 19 supply chain disruptions clearly highlighted vulnerabilities in the status quo. That crisis had already started the process of ‘reshoring’ or ‘onshoring’, i.e., moving more of a product supply chain closer to the consumer market. The energy transition is accelerating this trend.
Inflation Reduction Act catalyses a global green arms race
The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in the USA aims to spur investment in domestic green technology. The majority of the $394 billion in energy and climate funding in the IRA is in the form of tax credits with strings attached to local sourcing.
While other nations and regions have had some form of domestic sourcing incentives in place, the sheer size and scale of the US approach has inspired others to double-down on their strategies.
The European Union’s CRM
The European Union has maintained a list of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) since 2011. CRMs combine raw materials of high importance to the EU economy and of high risk associated with their supply. The list sharpens the focus on supply security. In 2011, the list contained 14 materials and by 2017, in its fourth iteration, the list was 30 strong.
In March 2023, the European Commission proposed adding four more raw materials to the list. Aluminium has been added to the list1. In the previous iteration, bauxite – a key ingredient for aluminium production – was included, but the now the finished product of aluminium is on the list.
Critical Raw Materials Act
In addition to Critical Raw Materials, the Commission has defined Strategic Raw Materials (SRMs)2. Copper and Nickel are additional SRMs (although they are not CRMs). Aluminium is both a CRM and SRM. The European Commission’s Critical Raw Materials Act proposal sets hard targets for domestic capacities in SRMs by 2030:
at least 10% of the EU’s annual consumption for extraction
at least 40% of the EU’s annual consumption for processing
at least 15% of the EU’s annual consumption for recycling
no more than 65% of the EU’s annual consumption from a single third country
On 30th June 2023, the European Council published its negotiating position3. It wants to raise the bar higher for processing and recycling:
at least 40% 50% of the EU’s annual consumption for processing
at least 15% 20% of the EU’s annual consumption for recycling
The European Parliament has not yet adopted its position and the full negotiation process will likely take time. But based on the Council’s position, negotiations are likely to focus on higher rather than lower local sourcing.
China flirts with new resource restrictions
China said on 3rd July 2023 it would restrict exports of two metals - gallium and germanium - used in semiconductors and electric vehicles, escalating a technology war with the United States and European Union. However, rather than banning the export of the materials, the proposal is to put in place regulations for companies to obtain export licences for foreign shipments of the metal. The curbs follow USA’s blacklisting of Chinese companies in recent years, aimed at cutting them off from access to US technologies, including the most advanced chips. Our understanding is that EU and Chinese officials are locked in negotiations at the moment to keep the trade channel of these metals open.
Conclusions
While a slowly evolving process, last week saw several key markers for resource trade restrictions surface. While it’s understandable that many countries want to ensure resource security by controlling more of the supply chains, we believe the process of adjustment will tighten material supply especially as tit-for-tat counter policies are adopted.

What Events Will Affect Your Trading This Week?Despite a quiet start to the week for the US holidays, there is still plenty going on. The Reserve Bank of Australia unexpectedly kept interest rates at 4.1%, sending the Aussie dollar lower before flying back like a boomerang to where it was trading, at 0.6680 against the USD.
On Wednesday (21:00), we get to see the minutes of the FOMC's last meeting, where they held rates at 5.25%. However, the market is pricing in at least two more rate hikes by the end of the year, so traders will be looking for clues in the minutes as to if and when this might happen.
With Saudi Arabia announcing an extension to their oil production cuts through to August (and possibly further) and Russia following up with a 500K cut of its own, the price of WTI rallied on Monday before slipping back to $70 a barrel. Keep an eye on US oil inventories (18:00 Thursday) as there was a massive 9 million drawdown last week which surprised the market and could further support the price.
On Friday (15:30), the US will release its latest unemployment numbers. Despite seeing an increase of 339K in Non-Farm payrolls last month, there was a rise in the unemployment rate to 3.7%. Canadian unemployment data is also released at the same time, which makes USDCAD particularly volatile over this period.

Bearish Gold WEEK ?Gold took a hit this week as the dollar rebounded after the Bank of England raised interest rates by half a percentage point — twice more than forecast — saying it needed to act against "significant" indicators that British inflation would take longer to fall. U.K.’s main interest rate is now at 5%, the highest since 2008 after the largest rate increase since February. For me the gold metal will go a little bit down . Wha do you think traders , Am I right ?

USDJPY LONG & SHORT SETUP - US NEWSDuring the European session, the US/JPY pair remains stagnant, trading within a limited range just below the significant resistance level of 140.00. The market is characterized by volatile fluctuations as investors adopt a cautious approach in anticipation of the upcoming release of US inflation data.
In London, S&P500 futures have gained as investors hope the Fed will delay interest rate hikes and weaken the US Dollar. The US Dollar Index reached a two-week low at 103.21 due to expectations of a neutral interest rate policy and softening US inflation. Analysts predict May's CPI will remain unchanged, but core inflation will stay strong. The Bank of Japan is likely to maintain its interest rate policy, aiming for inflation above 2%.

US 10Y yield chart - key levels to watch ahead of dataWe have a big week of data
US inflation figures are released tomorrow and are likely to show a continued disinflationary trend, with the headline rate falling to 4.1%. This will help the Fed remain on pause for the Wednesday rate decision.
The major level to watch to our mind is the tentative downtrend drawn from the October 2022 high. This comes in at 3.88. The market has been sidelined for months but is building a potential bullish consolidation pattern and that idea will be reinforced should a close above the 3.88 downtrend be seen.
#OIL UpdateWith this flash crash, presumably caused by US-Iran news about a possible swap of nuclear program for oil sanctions , we're back to the scenario where wave [ 2] is already complete and we're in a leading diagonal formation. The nefarious option of an expanding diagonal remains, but it is less likely.
