DXY doesn't look too happy below 100Last week the US dollar index (DXY) closed at a 15-month low and beneath 100 for the first time since April 2022. Yet subsequent price action has seen a lack of conviction form bears, allowing prices to form a double bottom just above the March 2022 high and close with a Spinning Top doji yesterday. Given US yields are showing signs of stability (and hinting at a move higher themselves), it seems reasonable that the US dollar is due a corrective bounce over the near-term which brings 100.5 and the April low into focus for bulls. A break beneath the March 2022 high invalidates the bearish bias, but this could be raised to the recent swing lows if we see a decent break (or daily close above) 100.

Deciphering Divergent Signals The Complex Economic LandscapeThe global economy continues to face profound uncertainties in the wake of COVID-19's massive disruptions. For policymakers and business leaders, making sense of divergent signals on jobs, inflation, and growth remains imperative yet challenging. In the United States, inflation pressures appear to be moderately easing after surging to 40-year highs in 2022. The annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined to 3% in June from the prior peak of 9.1%. Plunging gasoline and used car prices provided some consumer relief, while housing and food costs remained worryingly elevated. Core CPI, excluding food and energy, dipped to 4.8% but persists well above the Fed’s 2% target. Supply chain improvements, waning pandemic demand spikes, and the strong dollar making imports cheaper all helped cool inflation. However, risks abound that high prices become entrenched with tight labor markets still buoying wages. Major central banks responded with substantial interest rate hikes to reduce demand, but the full economic drag likely remains unseen. Further supply shocks from geopolitics or weather could also reignite commodity inflation. While the direction seems promising, the Fed vows ongoing vigilance and further tightening until inflation durably falls to acceptable levels. The path back to price stability will be bumpy. Yet even amidst surging inflation, the US labor market showed resilience through 2022. Employers added over 4 million jobs, driving unemployment down to 3.5%, matching pre-pandemic lows. This simultaneous inflation and job growth confounds historical norms where Fed tightening swiftly slows hiring. Pandemic-era stimulus and savings initially cushioned households from rate hikes, sustaining consumer demand. Early retirements, long COVID disabilities, caregiving needs, and possibly a cultural rethinking of work also constricted labor supply. With fewer jobseekers available, businesses retained and attracted talent by lifting pay, leading to nominal wage growth even outpacing inflation for some months. However, the labor market's anomalous buoyancy shows growing fragility. Job openings plunged over 20% since March, tech and housing layoffs multiplied, and wage growth decelerated – all signals of softening demand as higher rates bite. Most economists expect outright job losses in coming months as the Fed induces a deliberate recession to conquer inflation. Outside the US, other economies show similar labor market resilience assisted by generous pandemic supports. But with emergency stimulus now depleted, Europe especially looks vulnerable. Energy and food inflation strain household budgets as rising rates threaten economies already flirting with recession. Surveys show consumer confidence nosediving across European markets. With less policy space, job losses may mount faster overseas if slowdowns worsen. Meanwhile, Mexico’s economy and currency proved surprisingly robust. Peso strength reflects Mexico’s expanding manufacturing exports, especially autos, amid US attempts to nearshore production and diversify from China reliance. Remittances from Mexican immigrants also reached new highs, supporting domestic demand. However, complex immigration issues continue challenging US-Mexico ties. The pandemic undoubtedly accelerated pre-existing workforce transformations. Millions older employees permanently retired. Younger cohorts increasingly spurn traditional career ladders, cobbling together gig work and passion projects. Remote technology facilitated this cultural shift toward customized careers and lifestyle priorities. Many posit these preferences will now permanently reshape labor markets. Employers clinging to old norms of in-office inflexibility may struggle to hire and retain talent, especially younger workers. Tighter immigration restrictions also constrain domestic labor supply. At the same time, automation and artificial intelligence will transform productivity and skills demands. In this context, labor shortages could linger regardless of economic cycles. If realized, productivity enhancements from technology could support growth with fewer workers. But displacement risks require better policies around skills retraining, portable benefits, and income supports. Individuals must continually gain new capabilities to stay relevant. The days of lifelong stable employer relationships appear gone. For policymakers, balancing inflation control and labor health presents acute challenges. Achieving a soft landing that curtails price spikes without triggering mass unemployment hardly looks guaranteed. The Fed’s rapid tightening applies tremendous pressure to an economy still experiencing profound demographic, technological, and cultural realignments. With less room for stimulus, other central banks face even more daunting dilemmas. Premature efforts to rein in inflation could induce deep recessions and lasting scars. But failure to act also risks runaway prices that erode living standards and stability. There are no easy solutions with both scenarios carrying grave consequences. For business leaders, adjusting to emerging realities in workforce priorities and automation capabilities remains imperative. Companies that embrace flexible work options, prioritize pay equity, and intelligently integrate technologies will gain a competitive edge in accessing skills and talent. But transitions will inevitably be turbulent. On the whole, the global economy's trajectory looks cloudy. While the inflation fever appears to be modestly breaking, risks of resurgence remain as long as labor markets show tightness. But just as rising prices moderate, the delayed impacts from massive rate hikes threaten to extinguish job growth and demand. For workers, maintaining adaptability and skills development is mandatory to navigate gathering storms. Any Coming downturn may well play out differently than past recessions due to demographic shifts, cultural evolution, and automation. But with debt levels still stretched thin across sectors, the turbulence could yet prove intense. The path forward promises to be volatile and uneven amidst the lingering pandemic aftershocks. Navigating uncertainty remains imperative but challenging.

US 10Y TREASURY: watch for FOMCTreasury yields ended the week lower, as investors are weighing on a next monetary move of the Fed during next week. FOMC is scheduled for July 26-27th, where the majority of market participants are expecting further increase of interest rates by 25bps. The economy is showing modest signs of slow-down, while some economists are expecting a lagging effect of monetary policy, where recession might come as of the end of this year. In this sense, they are of the opinion that the Fed might pause rate hikes at July's meeting. All these are opinions, while the final view on the US economy will be given by Fed officials after the FOMC meeting. During the week 10Y Treasury yields were mostly concentrated around 3.8% level. Although the lowest weekly level was at 3.73%, as of the weekend yields have returned to 3.8%. It could be expected for 10Y yields to continue to oscillate around 3.8% also at the beginning of the week ahead. Certainly, the crucial date during the week would be July 26th, when the Fed will announce its decision on interest rates. Depending on the outcome of the decision, yields might reach 3.7% or 3.6% levels. A move toward 4% does not seem likely at this moment, based on a technical analysis.

Decline in the 10-year Treasury yieldsThe US office market is facing challenges, with a decline in the 10-year Treasury yields, and the value of distressed US offices reaching $24.8 billion, surpassing that of malls. This trend indicates a severe challenge in the distressed office market. Distressed offices refer to office buildings facing rising vacancy rates, declining rental income, and financial difficulties. Over the past few years, the demand for office buildings has declined due to the accelerated trend of remote work and increased economic uncertainty, leading to distress in many office buildings. The reflection of this data suggests that the shopping center industry is no longer the primary focus in the commercial real estate market, as distressed offices have become the center of attention for investors. Investors' focus on distressed offices may stem from their potential investment opportunities, such as acquiring undervalued office buildings and gaining returns through leasing and repositioning. Due to lackluster new housing data, the US Treasury 10-year yields experienced a decline on the day. The disappointing new housing data may trigger market concerns, indicating a sluggish performance in the real estate market. Investors typically pay close attention to the performance of the real estate market as it has significant implications for interest rates and economic growth. Treasury bonds are essential investment instruments, and their yields are considered indicators of market sentiment and investor risk appetite. When new housing data shows signs of weakness, investors may lean towards purchasing safer assets such as Treasury bonds as a hedge. However, it is important to note that a single data point cannot entirely determine market trends. Fluctuations in Treasury yields are influenced by various factors, including inflation expectations, monetary policy, and the global economic environment. Therefore, investors should consider multiple data points and market factors when making decisions. In summary, the US Treasury 10-year yields declined on the day due to the release of disappointing new housing data. Investors expressed concerns about the sluggishness in the real estate market, potentially leading them to favor relatively safer assets such as Treasury bonds. However, fluctuations in Treasury yields are influenced by multiple factors, necessitating a comprehensive consideration of other data and market factors.

US 10Y TREASURY: waiting for Fed Debate over the question whether FED should further increase interest rates or not is still quite active among economists. A Nobel-prise winner and economist Christopher Pissarides is of the opinion that there is no need for the US to further increase interest rates, as noted in an interview with CNBC. Many other influential economists share his opinion. However, Fed Chair Powell previously noted that two more rate hikes should be expected till the end of this year. At the same time, CME's Fedwatch is showing investors expectations of 92% for a 25 bps rate hike at July`s FOMC meeting. Until the final decision, US Treasury yields might express higher volatility, as seen during the previous week. 10Y US Treasuries reached the level of 4% two weeks ago, still, during the previous week, yields have dropped to the short term stop at 3.8%. Lowest weekly level was at 3.76%. Volatility around 3.8% might also continue during the week ahead. At this moment on charts, there is a low probability that yields might return to 3.6%. They will rather oscillate around 3.8% or higher, waiting for the FOMC meeting as of the end of July.

Most banks are below March crisis level, what's happening?We saw an improvement in the CPI numbers at 3%, but the PCE number is what Fed is concerned with as it is still lingering around its high point. Out of the approximately 4,000 banks in the United States, it seems like JP Morgan, among these top 7 banks we are seeing here, is the only bank that has climbed back up from the March banking crisis. The rest are still well below their March levels. If interest rate continues to rise, will that trigger another banking crisis?

US10Y A break below the 1D MA50 will trigger a 2nd sell-off.The U.S. Government Bonds 10YR Yield (US10Y) is approaching the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) that has been supporting the price action since May 16. The long-term trend since the October 21 2022 market top has been bearish, guided downwards by a Lower Lows trend-line but since February it has transitioned into a Rectangle. The recent July 07 High was a direct hit at the top of the Rectangle, so this week's rejection comes as a very natural consequence. If the price closes a 1D candle below the 1D MA50, the 2nd part of the Rectangle's bearish leg will most likely be triggered. As you see during this long-term pattern, we've had two -19.70% decline sequences and if the current one turns out to be of that magnitude, we are looking at a 3.300% target. Note that 4 days ago we formed a 1D Golden Cross, technically a bullish pattern, but the previous 1D Death Cross (bearish pattern) turned out to be the Rectangle's bottom. On that notion, the Golden Cross may have formed the top. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

US10Y: Excellent long term sell opportunity.The US10Y turned neutral on the 1D timeframe today (RSI = 51.795, MACD = 0.074, ADX = 33.857) after it got rejected on R1 two days ago. It is likely to see a sharp fall as on the March 2nd rejection, and in that case S1 and S2 won't pose any bullish pressure to the downtrend, nor should the 1D MA50 and 1D MA200, which in the past 12 months haven't had any such significance. Consequently, we consider the current level early enough for a low risk sell position on the long term, targeting the S3 (TP = 3.300%). As you see, the trading structure follows quite similar legs since November and right now we are most likely on a leg 2. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

US 10Y TREASURY: 4% will holdFor some time charts were pointing to a potential for US10Y to reach 4% level, which finally occurred during the previous week. Job figures released for June show that average hourly earnings continue to be increased, 0.4% m/m in June or 4.4% on a yearly basis, which might bring inflation further to the higher grounds, which will push FOMC to further increase interest rates. Market sentiment for an increase in July reached 92%, but whether the Fed will have the same perception is about to be seen as of the end of July, when the FOMC meeting is scheduled. 10Y Treasuries started the previous week around 3.8%, however, after released jobs data, yields jumped to the highest weekly level at 4.09%. Considering current sentiment, it could be expected for yields to continue to be elevated during the week ahead. At this moment, there is decreased potential that they might revert to the previous, 3.8% level.

Is it time to switch "treasures"?-The US government's 2-year bond is trying to form a new bullish pivot on the monthly chart. -I believe that it will not have enough strength to go further, that is, to break the pre SUBPRIME peak of 2008, in the region of 5,283, as inflation at the moment (short term) seems to want to cool down. -But long-term inflation, I'm sorry to say that you may not want to let your guard down, so 5 and 10 year bonds may reach new highs. -On the weekly chart we have an accumulation of prices, and the projection of this accumulation suggests the region of 5330 as a possible maximum destination for the prices of the 2-year bond. -The SETUP used also projects purchasing power up to the range of 5,338 according to the high pivot also shown by the SETUP used! -The daily chart already shows exhaustion, so you need to pull back on the long average just below if you really want to look for the 5,338 region. -Do your analysis and good business. -Be Aware, If You Buy, Use Stop! -See below for other graphic reviews!
