    Bank of Japan Ends the Era of Negative Interest Rates


    The Bank of Japan has not raised interest rates for 17 years. For 8 years, it was in the negative zone.

    But today there was a dramatic shift in monetary policy — the Bank of Japan announced a decision to increase the interest rate from -0.1% to 0.1%.

    The central bank also abandoned yield curve control (YCC), a policy that had been in place since 2016 and capped long-term interest rates near zero.

    Considering the scale of the decisions taken, the reaction of the yen exchange rate relative to other currencies turned out to be moderate. This is because the plans of the Bank of Japan have been discussed for a long time, including in official sources of information. Therefore, it is acceptable to assume that participants in the currency markets have already laid down the probability of today's event.

    In fact, the yen has weakened as a result, but this may only be an initial reaction in which markets are reassessing the impact of the Bank of Japan's decision over a range of short-term to long-term horizons.

    US Dollar Shows Record Weekly Gain Since Mid-January


    The US dollar strengthened on Friday ahead of a series of highly anticipated central bank meetings next week, including the US Federal Reserve. The dollar rose 1.3% for the week, its biggest gain since mid-January, after a mixed batch of data showed the U.S. economy remained resilient. That suggests the Federal Reserve could keep interest rates high for longer or reduce its planned number of rate cuts this year. Data on Friday showed a strong US manufacturing sector, with output rebounding 0.8% last month after a downwardly revised 1.1% decline in the previous month. The University of Michigan's preliminary overall consumer sentiment index for the month was 76.5, down from a final reading of 76.9 in February. The Fed's measure of annual inflation expectations remained unchanged at 3.0% in March. The five-year inflation forecast also remained stable at 2.9% for the fourth month in a row, according to the survey. The US Federal Reserve meeting will take place on Wednesday and analysts do not expect officials to make changes to monetary policy, but expect to receive forecasts for borrowing costs for the current year. The market continues to price in at least three 25 basis point interest rate cuts before the end of 2024, the first of which could come in June.

    EUR/USD


    The EUR/USD pair shows mixed dynamics, remaining close to 1.0885. Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.0899, a break higher could trigger a move towards 1.0963. On the downside, immediate support is seen at 1.0872, a break below could take the pair towards 1.0840.

    Market activity remains subdued at the beginning of the week as traders are in no hurry to open positions in anticipation of the emergence of new drivers. Today the eurozone will publish February inflation statistics. The forecasts do not assume any changes in the consumer price index compared to previous data. On Thursday, March 21, trading participants will evaluate March data on business activity in the eurozone, as well as the ECB's monthly economic report, which may clarify the prospects for the regulator's monetary policy for the current year. Forecasts for business activity indices suggest an increase in the indicator from 46.5 points to 47.0 points in the manufacturing sector and from 50.2 points to 50.5 points in the services sector.

    Technical analysis of EUR/USD shows that a new downward channel has formed based on last week’s lows. Now the price is in the middle of the channel and may continue to decline.

    Tesla Stock Hits a Low Point as Musk Sues Openai - Is This Year a Total Write-Off?


    Occasionally during the course of industrial progress, there is a maverick; a voice that is known for continual disruption and maintaining a high-profile position whilst engaging in such disruption.

    The figure of this decade is Elon Musk, a self-starter whose bluster and direct prose cast him as one of the world's most outspoken individuals, as well as a business magnate who manages to influence the financial markets at the click of a button.

    From generating unprecedented waves in the cryptocurrency markets in 2021 to causing the motor industry to break with its 130-year-old tradition of using internal combustion as a main method of motive power, Elon Musk's market-making abilities are in line with his disruptive commentary and social media activity.

    This set of characteristics has led to volatile stock in the most famous company, Tesla, founded and led by Elon Musk. With regard to such volatility, the start of this week is no exception.

    Tesla stock is currently nosediving and has reached a low point of $162.20 by March 14. At the close of the US trading session on Friday, March 15, Tesla stock had retrieved some of the losses and rested at the mid-$163 range, however, this represents a mere slowing down of the plunging of Tesla stock prices because ever since the beginning of this month, Tesla stock has been depreciating at a considerable rate.

    BTC/USD Analysis: Bears Have Become More Active Near the $70,000 Level


    On February 26 (A), a strong bullish impulse started in the Bitcoin market. Its trajectory is visually described by a blue line. The price of bitcoins developed along it — this can be interpreted in such a way that market participants agreed that the value of the cryptocurrency was increasing.

    If the price of Bitcoin deviated from the blue line, it was only for a short period of time. For example, to pierce the psychological level of USD 60,000 on March 5th.

    However, the bullish momentum changed on March 15th, and this can be seen on the BTC/USD chart today:
    → the blue line began to work as resistance (shown by the first arrow);
    → the level of USD 70,000 also began to act as resistance (shown by the second arrow).

    WTI Oil Price Reaches 4-month High


    The International Energy Agency (IEA) has once again raised its forecasts for global oil demand in 2024. While the agency's forecast pointed to the prospect of an oil surplus in 2023, its analysts now believe that the world will experience a shortage of oil in the second half of 2024.

    Among the reasons for the shortage:
    → limitation of oil production by OPEC+ countries, it is 2 million barrels per day until the middle of the year. And it may be extended, as Bloomberg writes — the decision is scheduled for June 1;
    → changes in logistics routes due to Houthi attacks on tankers in the Red Sea.

    Also, a bullish impulse for the price of WTI oil can be provided by the geopolitical situation, which remains tense.

    USD Strengthens Sharply after Inflation News


    Yesterday's publication of producer price indices in the US was a surprise:
    → Core PPI: actual = 0.3%, expected = 0.2%.
    → PPI: actual = 0.6%, expected = 0.3%.

    Higher producer prices indicate that high inflation may remain longer than expected. And this reduces the likelihood of the Fed easing monetary policy. Markets now price the likelihood of a Fed rate cut in June at 60%, up from 74% a week earlier, according to CME's FedWatch tool.

    The reaction to the news was that the dollar strengthened — there was a bearish day on the stock market, and currencies paired with the USD also fell in price.

    Thus, the EUR/USD price decrease yesterday was about 0.55% per day.

    On March 11, we wrote that the price of EUR/USD may fall to the lower border of the channel (shown in blue) from the 8-week peak (B). In fact, the price made a bearish breakout of this channel.

    Market Analysis: Gold Price Rally Takes Break, Crude Oil Price Surges


    Gold price rallied above $2,180 before correcting lower. Crude oil price is rising and it could climb further higher toward the $82 resistance.

    Important Takeaways for Gold and Oil Prices Analysis Today


    • Gold price failed to clear the $2,200 resistance and corrected lower against the US Dollar.
    • A key bearish trend line is forming with resistance at $2,170 on the hourly chart of gold at FXOpen.
    • Crude oil prices are moving higher above the $80.00 resistance zone.
    • There is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support near $80.60 on the hourly chart of XTI/USD at FXOpen.



    Gold Price Technical Analysis


    On the hourly chart of Gold at FXOpen, the price was able to climb above the $2,150 resistance, as mentioned in the previous analysis. The price even broke the $2,180 level before the bears appeared.

    The price traded close to the $2,200 zone before there was a downside correction. There was a move below the $2,180 pivot zone. The price settled below the 50-hour simple moving average and RSI dipped below 50. Finally, it tested the $2,150 zone.

    The price is now consolidating losses near the $2,160 level. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $2,166 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,179 swing high to the $2,152 low.

    The next major resistance is near a key bearish trend line at $2,170. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,179 swing high to the $2,152 low.

    An upside break above the $2,170 resistance could send Gold price toward $2,180. Any more gains may perhaps set the pace for an increase toward the $2,200 level. If there is no recovery wave, the price could continue to move down.

    Initial support on the downside is near the $2,164 level. The first major support is $2,150. If there is a downside break below the $2,150 support, the price might decline further. In the stated case, the price might drop toward the $2,132 support.

    US500: The Market Has Been Growing without Corrections by 2% for 266 Consecutive Trading Sessions


    The S&P 500 remains in its longest rally since 2018 without a decline of at least 2%, according to data compiled by Bloomberg; analysts note that there hasn't been a correction of this size in 266 trading sessions.

    The positive sentiment of market participants is due to:
    → the prospect of lowering interest rates by the Federal Reserve;
    → enthusiasm for AI and its positive impact on economic development.

    However, although the fundamental background is strong, current estimates of the US500 index may be overestimated — in fact, this is the essence of the correction.

    USD/JPY: Analysts Adjust Forecasts for the Strengthening of the Yen


    Since the beginning of 2024, the USD/JPY price has been in an uptrend (as shown by the blue channel), but when the rate exceeded the psychological level of 150 yen per US dollar, market sentiment changed. This was due to expectations that the Bank of Japan would take interest rates out of negative territory — and statements from officials gave clear indications of this possibility.

    Expecting a tightening of monetary policy, the yen sharply strengthened against the dollar, and a bearish A→B impulse formed on the USD/JPY chart. However, having reached the level of 147 yen per US dollar (and dropped slightly below it), the market has stabilized. Moreover, we see some recovery: today, the USD/JPY price is trading around 147.8.
