I have very close relationships with influential people from Mexico. The good one’s not the bad one’s.
The USMCA trade agreement between the US and Mexico was fostered and completed under the Trump administration. This created, as of 2023 the US accounting for 60% of Mexico’s trade income, which is an historic high.
Funny enough, the Mexican trade minister, who is a socialist, is all over the place promoting that Harris should be elected to sustain that level. The politics of lies never stops with these people (socialists).
All US yields are strong. Most non-currency futures are selling which is risk off. Options showing strength on the buy side for Euro so dollar buy side may have a near term ceiling.
I may not trade today because every time I hear Johnathan Ferro’s voice on Bloomberg TV (he sounds like a rat cheerleader who was hired for his exotic Australian accent) I don’t do as well. I can’t wait until his contract is over.
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
The dollar continues to ride higher on the back of an anxious pre-election climb in U.S. Treasury yields, notching its best levels in almost three months against the euro and yen on starkly contrasting economic and interest rate pictures.
With the International Monetary Fund’s annual meeting underway and G7 finance chiefs and central bankers gathering, the exceptional performance of the U.S. economy was underlined in updated IMF global forecasts on Tuesday.
EURUSD low 1.07775 so 1.0777 target reached… nice when it trades like a textbook… Now use 1.0780 as the level that needs to become resistance for a run at Bobby’s 1.0750. level
Reaction to the BoC decision will dictate whether a 50bps rate cut is discounted or the trigger for a run at the major 1,3946 level…1.3850 would need to become support to put 1.3946 at risk
On the downside, back below 1.38 would be needed to cool the threat
Re the BoC, surprise would be a 25bps rate cut although I saw a Canadian bank calling for 25bps.
As I have been noting, there was a void of key level until 155.20 other than the 200 day mva (151.37), break of which propelled USDJPY higher, and a 61.8% FIBO.
Now 152 becomes pivotal as the level that needs to hold keep a strong bid and put 155.20 on the radar.
Note, the correlation between the JPY and firmer US yields.
Risk of verbal intervention rises given pace of JPY slide.
