  • Sterling weighed down after UK jobs report

    The pound is sitting lower across the board, with it seeming to come from a more negative reaction to the UK jobs report here. Overall, it’s more of a mixed report and it does continue to point towards some further softening in the labour market. As mentioned then, the wage numbers might be more mixed at first glance. But at the balance, it still points to moderation in price pressures and keeps the BOE on track to cut rates; albeit not hurriedly I would say.

    Still, we are seeing some light shifts in BOE pricing. The next full 25 bps rate cut is slated for March next year while odds of a move in February next year have gone up a fair bit. It’s interesting to see how traders are reacting here as I’d wager more focus should be put on the inflation numbers instead. That especially since ONS continues to struggle with accuracy on labour market data. But hey, that’s just me.

    In any case, we are seeing GBP/USD slump further on the day in falling from 1.3340 to 1.3285 now after the report. The drop also comes after a rejection of the 100-hour moving average (red line) as sellers continue to keep a more bearish near-term bias for now.

  • Asian Stock Markets Missed the Risk-On Boat

    Markets Dip-buyers already emerged yesterday, encouraged by the US administration that kept the option for trade talks with China open over the weekend.

The US dollar strengthened […]

  • Gold, silver reverses course on the day to turn lower

    Gold is now dropping to just under $4,100 with the high earlier in the day touching $4,179 while silver is down over 2% on the day to near $51 after having hit a high of $53.60 earlier. It’s a quick and steep drop for both precious metals in the past hour or so with not too much of a catalyst so to speak.

    The broader market mood remains on the defensive, so I’d be more inclined to lean towards profit-taking activity here. And even with the selloff above, it’s not really hurting the precious metals all too much. Both are still up roughly 2% on the week, at least for now. However, the drop perhaps does put some attention to the near-term charts though there is still some distance from testing the key hourly moving averages for both.
