SNB surprise with a 50bps cut, Euro steady ahead of ECB
Good morning USA traders, hope your day is off to a great start! Here are the top 5Â things you need to know for today’s market.
5 Things You Need to Know
European bourses are mixed into the ECB, SMI outperforms post-SNB. US futures are modestly softer.
SNB delivered a larger-than-expected 50bps cut and reiterated a willingness to intervene in the FX market as necessary.
USD steady with peers and for the most part contained aside from CHF underperformance and Antipodean outperformance, AUD driven by jobs data.
Fixed benchmarks are at/towards session lows into the ECB and US data thereafter, stateside yields are bid and the curve steeper.
Crude in the green but only modestly so, base metals are little changed overall.
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
With interest rates tumbling across the world and set to fall stateside again next week too, Wall Street stocks are sizing up one of the best years of the century so far.
The tech-laden Nasdaq surged again on Wednesday and closed above 20,000 for the first time ever – almost four times the peaks of the dot.com bubble in 2000 and up almost 35% for 2024 to date.
Morning Bid: Europe eases with Swiss surprise as Nasdaq clocks 20k
Using my Platform as a Heatmap
AUDUSD outperforming after strong jobs report although there are questions whether it is an outlier
CHF underperforming after the 50bps rate cuit (not a surprise)
US bond yields continue to creep higher, givimg USDFJPY som,e support (held 151.90-00 cited yesterday as support)… inside day so far
EURUSD 1.05 remains the pivotal point ahead of ECB,,, surprise would be a 50bps cut, 25bps expected
EURGBP MONTHLY CHART – Indicator of EUR weakness
Those who have followed me have seen me say to watch EURGBP for clues if trading EURUSD and/or GBPUSD
Break of .8267 opens the door for the major level at .8200… As this chart shows, .8200 is a 7-year low.
Back above .8250-67 would be needed to postpone the risk
Minor support is at .8225, Wednesday’s low.

Pivotal level day
EURUSD -.1.05 clearly pivotal after brief break below it (low 1.0488)
AUDUSD – .6350 is pivotal after brief break of major .6358 support (low .6340)
USDJPY 151.50 nand 152 are both pivotal, so far staying below it after trading above it yesterday
GBPUSD- Lagging EURUSD as EURGBP remain soft biut 1.2750 is pivotal here as well
EURUSD Daily
Resistances : 1.05450 , 1.05950 & 1.06350
Supports : 1.04950, 1.04600 & 1.04250
There is still an Up angle , but this is not a real Up trend !
Momentum is nonexistent and we’ll have to wait for Thursday ECB Interest rates decision and a reaction to it
For now try to play within given parameters – 1.0550 is a pivotal right now.
