Market Brief Series / EP. 366 / 13th July 2018 – Fri
Overall there is strength in the AUD, CAD, NZD and GBP. Weakness in the CHF and JPY with minor weakness in the EUR.
Oil prices edged lower on Friday and were set for a second weekly fall, as the market shrugged off a warning that spare capacity may be stretched as OPEC and Russia increase production.
US inflation hit its highest rate in more than six years, with consumer prices eating away at modest wage gains by American workers and underscoring questions about how much they are benefiting from an economy that by many other measures is booming. Another very good reason for the Fed to raise rates and in turn the US dollar will strengthen.
USD/JPY is most overbought in over 18 months, according to the 14-day relative strength index (RSI). The currency pair has backed off from the six-month high of 102.77.
AUD/USD has shaken off bearish jitters from the overnight session, reclaiming the 0.7400 key level and trading into 0.7420 heading through Friday's Asia session.
EUR/USD continues its slow downward trend, therefore short positions below 1.1695 with target at 1.1605 is preferred. Alternatively, above 1.1685 look for further upside with 1.1760 as target.
On Data slate there’s German Wholesale Price Index; Switzerland Producer and Import Prices; UK MPC Member Cunliffe Speech; US Import and Export Indices; US Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index; US Fed Monetary Policy Report; US FOMC Member Bostic Speech and US Baker Hughes US Rig Count.

bro
Don't panic#bitcoin chart looking for an inverted head and shoulders on the daily chart. Last hope for the bulls to turn things around for mid term. Currently having strong support now. A higher low well above $5,778 followed by an eventual break of $6,800 is the bullish scenario.
