A collection of good and bad news affecting the foreign exchange market
Wonderful introduction:
Out of the thorns, in front of you is a broad road covered with flowers; when you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see the green mountains at your feet. In this world, if one star falls, it cannot dim the starry sky; if one flower withers, it cannot make the entire spring barren.
Hello everyone, today XM Forex will bring you "[XM Group]: A collection of good and bad news affecting the foreign exchange market". Hope this helps you! The original content is as follows:
1. Market background of core currency pairs: Policy differences dominate the shock pattern
On October 17, the foreign exchange market continued the trend of "the U.S. dollar is weak, resilient, and non-U.S. is divided", forming a cross-market echo with the crude oil market's "excessive supply and demand suppressing prices". As of the European market, the U.S. dollar index was at 105.23 (-0.12%), EUR/USD fluctuated at 1.1652, and USD/CNH fluctuated within a narrow range around 7.1250. The day's long and short news focused on the Federal Reserve's policy expectations, China's measures to stabilize growth and global debt risks, which directly affect the short-term trends of major currency pairs. It is necessary to focus on the resonance effect of policy signals and data verification.
2. Collection of good news: The support of non-US currencies is highlighted
(1) RMB: dual-wheel drive of policy strengthening and mechanism optimization
Countercyclical adjustment to stabilize liquidity: On October 16, the central bank launched a 236 billion yuan 7-day reverse repurchase operation. Although a net withdrawal was caused by the expiration of 612 billion yuan of reverse repurchase, the operating interest rate remained unchanged at 1.40%, releasing a signal of "maintaining the stability of short-term funding." Coupled with the accelerated implementation of 500 billion new policy financial instruments at the end of September, Oriental Jincheng pointed out that the stabilizing growth policy will provide fundamental support for the RMB, and the risk of substantial depreciation during the year is extremely low.
Financial opening up and expansion attracts funds: The daily net limit of "Swap Connect" has been raised to 45 billion yuan since October 13, and the team of quotations has expanded simultaneously. Data from the Foreign Exchange Trading Center shows that the scale of overseas funds entering the market through "Swap Connect" increased by 37% month-on-month in the first week after the policy was implemented, enhancing the flexibility of the RMB exchange rate while attracting long-term allocation funds.
Bilateral cooperation to strengthen currency status: China and Iceland renewed the agreement on October 15The 3.5 billion RMB/70 billion Icelandic krona local currency swap agreement has been extended for five years, further broadening the cross-border use scenarios of RMB. Minsheng Securities estimates that the cumulative scale of such agreements has exceeded RMB 4.5 trillion, which will be a long-term positive for the internationalization of the RMB.
(2) Euro: Fine-tuning of global growth expectations brings respite
In the October "World Economic Outlook Report", the IMF raised its global economic growth forecast for 2025 by 0.2 percentage points to 3.2%. Although it emphasized the risk of tariff impact, it made it clear that the growth rate of emerging markets and developing economies was revised up to 4.2%, which indirectly alleviated export concerns in the Eurozone. Superimposed on ECB officials hinting that "interest rate cuts may be suspended in December," the 1.16 support level below EUR/USD has been strengthened.
3. Collection of bad news: The resilience of the US dollar coexists with risk disturbances
(1) US dollar: Inflationary pressure delays the pace of easing
The Federal Reserve’s “Beige Book” shows that prices continued to rise in all federal reserve districts in the United States from early September to mid-October. Rising import costs and service prices have accelerated the growth of input costs, and some www.xmmen.companies have www.xmmen.completely passed on the costs to consumers. This is in conflict with the "97.3% probability of an interest rate cut in October" previously shown by CME data. The market began to correct excessively loose expectations. The US dollar index gained support at the 105 integer level, limiting the rebound height of non-US currencies.
(2) Risk currencies: debt warning and trade friction pressure
Global debt risk impacts risk appetite: The IMF warns that the scale of global public debt may exceed 100% of GDP in 2029, reaching 123% in extreme scenarios, a new high since 1948. This expectation triggered the withdrawal of funds from www.xmmen.commodity currencies such as the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar, which resonated with the drop in crude oil prices to a five-and-a-half-month low. AUD/USD and USD/CAD were under pressure to around 0.6380 and 1.3720 respectively.
The sanctions triggered local fluctuations: the United States imposed sanctions on China's Shandong Jincheng Petrochemical and other www.xmmen.companies, accusing them of assisting Iran's oil trade. Although it did not directly affect the trend of the U.S. dollar, it exacerbated the uncertainty of Sino-U.S. trade policies and suppressed the appreciation momentum of the RMB against the U.S. dollar in the short term. USD/CNH maintained a range of 7.12-7.13.
(3) www.xmmen.commodity currencies: Crude oil is weak and transmits negative effects
WTI crude oil fell to a five-and-a-half-month low of US$57.62/barrel, and Brent crude oil hovered at US$62.26/barrel. The IEA predicts that the crude oil supply and demand surplus will reach 1.83 million barrels/day and 3.14 million barrels/day respectively this year and next. The deterioration in energy export expectations directly dragged down the Canadian dollar and Norwegian krone. USD/CAD exceeded the 1.37 mark for the first time this year, becoming one of the weakest G10 currency pairs on the day.
IV. Key operation tips
**EUR/USD**: Rely on the support of 1.1630 to test long position, stop loss 1.1600, target 1.1680; if the US dollar index returns to above 105.50, backhand short position.
**USD/CNH**: Sell high and buy low within the range, go long near 7.1220, short near 7.1300, and set stop loss at 30 points.
**USD/CAD**: Take advantage of the weakness of crude oil to go long, increase the position after firming 1.3720, stop loss 1.3690, and target 1.3750.
