Markets collapse: investors flee China!The Chinese stock market is experiencing a sharp decline following a strong rally in recent weeks. On October 8, the Hang Seng Index (#HSI on FreshForex) plummeted by 9.56%, reaching 20,893 points. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which tracks Chinese stocks traded in Hong Kong, dropped even further — by 10.9%. The CSI 300 Index of mainland China, which started the day with an 11% gain, ended with a nearly 8% loss. The main reason for the drop is growing investor dissatisfaction with the lack of new economic stimulus measures from the Chinese government. Expectations were high, especially after the National Development and Reform Commission's press conference, where economic support was promised but no concrete actions were provided. This has heightened uncertainty in the market. What has been done previously: - In late September, the Chinese government announced plans to strengthen economic stimulus, promising fiscal injections and support for the real estate sector. - The People's Bank of China lowered reserve requirements for banks, freeing up 1 trillion yuan ($142 billion) for the market. - There are plans to lower mortgage rates and the down payment for second-home purchases to a record low of 15%. Bottom line: The market is waiting for action. Given the history of sharp declines in the Chinese market, such as in 2015 when the CSI 300 Index lost 40% in two months, the Chinese government cannot afford a similar outcome and may direct efforts to strengthen investor confidence. Since mid-September, #HSI has experienced a steady bullish trend, and our analysts believe these trends could repeat.

Market Fundamental Analysis for 8 October 2024 GBPUSDThe Pound-Dollar pair attracted some buying during the Asian session on Tuesday and so far seems to have broken a five-day losing streak, hitting a near four-week low near 1.31600 reached the previous day. However, spot prices are unable to consolidate above the 1.31000 mark, causing bullish traders to be somewhat cautious. Investors remain concerned that tensions in the Middle East could escalate into a larger conflict. In addition, not-so-optimistic comments from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) overshadowed the recent optimism from China's stimulus measures and curbed investors' appetite for risky assets. This is evidenced by the overall weak tone in equity markets, which in turn could help drive inflows into the US Dollar and constrain the GBP/USD pairing. Meanwhile, Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey said last week that there is a possibility that the central bank could become more aggressive in cutting rates if there is further good news on inflation. This could help limit British Pound (GBP) gains and suggests that the path of least resistance for the GBP/USD pair lies to the downside. As such, any further upward movement could be seen as a selling opportunity and risks quickly coming to naught. On Tuesday, no market-important economic data will be released from either the UK or the US, so the dollar and the GBP/USD pair will depend on the Fed's words. Meanwhile, attention will be focused on the release of the FOMC meeting minutes on Wednesday. It will be followed by data on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) in the US, which will play a key role in stimulating demand for the dollar and will give a new impetus to the currency pair. Trading recommendation: Watch the level of 1.31000, when fixing above it consider Buy positions, when rebounding we consider Sell positions.

Bigger Bubble" Creation vs. Downtrend Bubble Burst: What Comes NMore Giant Bubble" Creation vs. Downtrend Bubble Burst: What Comes Next? As the Federal Reserve (Fed) begins its rate-cutting cycle, the stock market and gold prices are hitting record highs, fueling growing investor confidence in a soft landing for the U.S. economy. However, it’s important to remain cautious. The market may appear to be creating a "bigger bubble," but investors should consider secondary effects. An economic slowdown could trigger a sudden market crash even with continued rate cuts. A critical indicator to watch is the U.S. Treasury yield curve, which often signals an impending recession. Recently, a closely watched segment of the yield curve has returned to a typical slope after being inverted, signaling that a sharp economic downturn may be imminent. "When the inversion ends, the real countdown begins, and that’s where we are now." "Bigger bubble" creation vs. downtrend bubble burst?! Waiting for a LONG trade: Please refer to the chart.

Fundamental Market Analysis for October 4, 2024 EURUSDAn event to look out for today: 15:30 GMT+3. USD - Unemployment Rate EURUSD: EUR/USD remains on the defensive near 1.1030 on the back of a stronger US dollar during the early Asian session on Friday. Cautious market sentiment ahead of key US economic data is putting pressure on the major pair. All eyes will be on the release of US employment data due for release today. The US Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) released on Thursday provided some support to the US Dollar (USD). The services PMI rose to 54.9 in September from 51.5 in August, beating the market forecast of 51.7, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) showed. Meanwhile, initial jobless claims in the US rose by 6,000 to 225,000 for the week ended 28 September. The figure followed the previous week's data of 219,000 (revised from 218,000) and was worse than market expectations of 220,000. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said this week that policymakers are likely to stick to their policy of cutting rates by 25 basis points (bps) going forward. Markets have priced the probability of a 25 bps Fed rate cut at nearly 68.9%, while the probability of a 50 bps rate cut is 31.1%, according to CME FedWatch Tool data. US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) data on Friday may provide some hints on how the US interest rate will move. The US economy is estimated to have added 140,000 jobs in September and the unemployment rate is expected to remain unchanged at 4.2%. If the employment report is weaker than expected, it could prompt the central bank to consider deeper rate cuts, which would put pressure on the US dollar. European Central Bank (ECB) policymakers continue to hint that another rate cut could be in the near future. This, in turn, could weaken the Euro (EUR) against the US Dollar. Kyle Chapman, currency analyst at Ballinger Group, said, ‘Policy is too tight given the challenging macroeconomic environment and a move to successive rate cuts seems self-evident now that disinflation is in its late stages.’ Trading recommendation: Trade predominantly Sell orders from the current price level

Fundamental Market Analysis for October 2, 2024 GBPUSDGBPUSD: The GBP/USD pair remains weak after losses recorded in the previous session, trading near 1.32800 during Asian hours on Wednesday. The decline could be attributed to risk aversion due to rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which is undermining the risk-sensitive Pound Sterling (GBP) and the GBP/USD pair. Iran launched more than 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday, shortly after the US warned a strike was imminent. The Israel Defense Forces said several missiles were intercepted and one person was killed in the West Bank, according to Bloomberg. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate against Iran after Tuesday's missile attack. In response, Tehran warned that any retaliatory strike would cause “immense destruction”, raising fears of the possibility of a wider conflict. The US Dollar (USD) is receiving support from the latest speech from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell. Powell stated that the central bank will cut interest rates gradually over time. Fed Chairman Powell added that the recent half-point interest rate cut should not be seen as a sign of similarly aggressive action in the future, noting that upcoming rate changes are likely to be more modest. On Tuesday, Bank of England (BoE) Governor Megan Green warned that a recovery in United Kingdom (UK) consumption could trigger a new wave of inflation. However, Green noted that further interest rate cuts are likely as prices are “moving in the right direction,” Bloomberg reported. Trading recommendation: Watch the level of 1.33000, if it is fixed above consider Buy positions, if it rebounds consider Sell positions.

NZDUSD STILL BEARISH >The New Zealand Dollar had an explosive rally last week, deeply penetrating and ultimately invalidating the highlighted supply zone, indicating the exhaustion of any remaining unfilled orders. >We can now observe five invalidated supply zones lined up on the chart. >Above these zones lies a high-quality, fresh supply zone, where significant stop-loss orders and a large volume of sell orders could potentially accumulate in anticipation of the upcoming FED speech on Thursday, which may act as a catalyst for a sharp drop. >The US Dollar Index remains undervalued (refer to my USD analysis for more insights). >Given that the NZD is currently overvalued, the price may soon seek reasons to turn bearish. For this to happen, a considerable volume of sell orders will be needed to trigger a downward move. ***As always, trade safe and make sure to do your due diligence when analyzing the charts.***

SWING IDEA - PCBLNSE:PCBL is about to form a MACD Cross on the weekly charts. If the market favor this move and if it completes its crossover, the stock should easily be able to go all the way at least until its Swing High Levels. Fundamentally speaking, the company has received a patent from the Indian Patent Office for its invention titled "hybrid carbon black grade comprising Graphene to improve performance of rubber compounds". This could further add as a factor to get this moving in the upward direction.

Weaker Outlook for GBP/AUD Amid Economic DivergenceThe GBP/AUD pair faces a bearish outlook as multiple factors align against GBP. Weak UK growth prospects, the nearing peak of the Bank of England's rate cycle, and cooling inflation are reducing support for GBP. Meanwhile, the Australian economy is expected to gain strength, supported by trade ties with China and stable inflation trends, signaling that AUD may outperform. As a result, the GBP/AUD exchange rate is likely to weaken further in the coming weeks. This outlook highlights the growing disparity between the economic conditions of the UK and Australia

Fundamental Market Analysis for September 26, 2024 USDJPYThe Japanese Yen (JPY) remains depreciated against the US Dollar (USD) following the release of the minutes from the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) July policy meeting on Thursday. The yen faces challenges as traders expect the BoJ to ponder before further rate hikes. The minutes of the BoJ's monetary policy meeting expressed a general view among members on the importance of remaining vigilant on the risks of inflation exceeding targets. Several members indicated that raising rates to 0.25 percent would be an appropriate way to adjust the level of monetary support. Some others suggested that a moderate adjustment in monetary support would also be appropriate. Pressure on the U.S. dollar is being exerted by the increased likelihood of further interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) at upcoming meetings. According to CME FedWatch Tool, markets estimate the probability that the Fed will cut rates by 75 basis points to a range of 4.0-4.25% by the end of this year at around 50%. Traders' attention is now focused on the release of final annualized U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) data for the second quarter (Q2), due later in the day. On Friday, inflation data will be released in Tokyo, which could provide further insight into the economic outlook and possible monetary policy moves by the Bank of Japan. Trading recommendation: Trade predominantly with Sell orders from the current price level.

Fundamental Market Analysis for September 25, 2024 GBPUSDGBPUSD: GBP/USD continued to rally the Pound for the second day in a row, breaking above 1.3400 and hitting new 30-month highs after the US Dollar weakened significantly on Tuesday. Wednesday will be quiet for the Pound in terms of data, although traders will be keeping an eye on statements from Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) member Megan Green. MPC member Green will be speaking at the North East England Chamber of Commerce. The U.S. portion of Wednesday's economic data list is also underweight for the midweek market session. August's monthly new home sales figure is unlikely to have much momentum one way or the other, followed by a speech from Federal Reserve Board of Governors (Fed) member Adrian Kugler, who will speak at Harvard's Kennedy School in Cambridge. Consumer confidence deteriorated across the board on Tuesday, with consumer expectations for 12-month inflation accelerating to 5.2 per cent. Consumers also reported a general weakening in their six-month outlook for household financial conditions, and consumer assessments of overall business conditions turned negative. The pullback in consumer confidence results triggered renewed trading in the rates markets in favour of a subsequent sharp rate cut in November. According to the CME's FedWatch tool, rates markets are pricing in nearly 60% probability of a second 50 bps rate cut. 7 November and only a 40% probability of a more reasonable subsequent 25bp rate cut. Earlier in the week, traders were estimating roughly equal odds of a 50bp or 25bp rate cut. Trading recommendation: Trade predominantly with Buy orders from the current price level

Alpha Group - What next post-earnings and CEO sucession plan?My take on Alpha Group: Alpha Group LSE:ALPH leads, in my view, as the UK's best FXRM firm, and institutional lending provider. What most lenders don't do is take a mixed approach - both expertise and technology when developing and implementing their services. From a macro perspective, Alpha Group provide stronger growth prospects than peers, as well as higher margins. They are continuously making large investments into their infrastructure, expanding their already strong platform. Analysts ests. momentum continues to be strong, due to the cheap valuation (despite the inflated NII). The acquisition of Cobase had provided an additional vector of growth for the company, and will continue to do so into the future. Presently, and historically, Alpha Group have always displayed a super solid balance sheet, indicating mgmt. are in control. Buybacks are continuous, with £20m now completed in this year alone, leaving them with a huge cash position, over £180m. And, as we all know by know, interest rates are dropping globally! Slowly, but surely, we will come down to a more modest cost of borrowing, and Alpha Group are a major beneficiary of this. 4th September 2024 - 1H24 results • Total income up 19% yoy to £107m. Revenues at £64m, a 16% yoy rise. 1H underlying EBITDA @ £25.3m (39.4% margin), surpassing PH’s estimate of £23.3m. • Additionally, an increase in net client additions and revenue per client. Corporate FXRM client base grew by 9% yoy, and institutional FX client numbers rose 11% yoy. • Cash up again! Now sitting on £180m at the end of the first half. Buyback on track, now with £20m completed. • As at 04/09, trading at approx. 6x ‘25e EV/EBITDA and an 8% FCF yield, still suggesting good valuation for buying. 10th September 2024 - CEO Transition & Succession - Alpha Group announced today that Morgan Tillbrook, CEO, has decided to step down from his duties at the company. - He will continue his role up until the end of the calendar year, where he will then be succeeded by Clive Khan. - Clive is currently Chairman at Alpha Group and is also the CEO of takepayments. takepayments was recently acquired by Global Payments NYSE:GPN , which I believe provides perfect timing for Clive to step down as CEO and step up for the role at Alpha Group. - With over 30 years in the FX and payments industry, there's no real better option than Clive, as his philosophy is almost identical to Morgan's. - He transformed takepayments from a failing bill payments business into one of the leading card acceptance businesses in the UK. As for Morgan, he too has a history of angel investing. - I anticipated a potential move for Morgan, as his long history of angel investing gave me a "heads up" to his absence. - At the open on the 10th, the markets felt disappointed and surprised, causing the stock to drop c.10% on the day. - However, Morgan made absolutely clear in his formal announcement that he will be leaving the business primed for further exponential growth and equipped with a robust business model. He emphasised that Alpha Group cannot be left in better hands than Clive, and I believe there is no reason to expect a rough transition in the step-up for him.
