A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
Tech-heavy stock markets are set to breathe a sigh of relief on Thursday as the world’s largest chipmaker beat the street and eased gnawing doubts about semiconductor demand worldwide and jitters about the wider artificial intelligence theme.
After a cloudy outlook from Europe’s ASML earlier this week sideswiped chip stocks everywhere, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing said on Thursday it expects sustained growth as it reported a forecast-beating 54% jump in profits and soaring demand for chips used in AI.
Keeps its bid as long as it stays above 2658-66 but would need to take out 2685 in this latest run up to break fresh ground.
Typically, the more times a level is tested the weaker it becomes unless, of course if it runs into a wall (e.g. triple top) then market will pay notice.
So this is like a put up or shut up time for the bulls at 2685.
As this chart shows, risk is for 1.0777 while below 1.0881. With that said, 1.0850 i clearly the focus ahead of what should be a 100% discounted ECB rate cut.
200 day mva 1.0873 (watch close vs it). 100 day is at 1.0936
As I noted yesterday
EURUSD IS CLOSING BELOW ITS 200 DAY MVA (1.0874).
If you are looking for a pivotal level, watch 1.0850 as below it would expose 1,0800 and a 1.0777 target.
