NZDUSD 1-hour chart

Blue lines dominate, indicating risk on the downside.

Key support is clear at .6156-61, which needs to hold to prevent a further push to the downside. Should the support zone give way then .6150 (psychological) and .6128 are next.

On the upside, .6200 is the key resistance, minor at .6185 ahead of it.

Policymakers are particularly focused on labor costs as a key driver of medium-term inflation. While pressure on negotiated wages eased at the end of 2023, a new forward-looking indicator signals elevated salaries aren’t yet at an inflection point.

Lagarde said last week that slower pay growth in the fourth quarter was “encouraging,” but that bargaining rounds in the following period will be vital for decision-making on rates.

ahhhh yess !

Lagarde said wage pressures remain strong, reiterating that salaries will likely become an increasingly important driver of price dynamics in the coming quarters.

“The current disinflationary process is expected to continue,” Lagarde said Monday at a plenary debate on the ECB’s 2022 annual report. “But the Governing Council needs to be confident that it will lead us sustainably to our 2% target.”

(Bloomberg) — European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said the retreat in inflation in the euro zone will continue but that she and her colleagues need to see more evidence that price growth is returning to their goal.

MEPs set to debate inflation and possible interest rate cuts with ECB President
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/agenda/briefing/2024-02-26/16/meps-set-to-debate-inflation-and-possible-interest-rate-cuts-with-ecb-president

Inflation, efforts to curb it, and possible interest rate cuts are set to be the focus of a debate with European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde on Monday afternoon.

I had a friend who was huge fan of NOK…but those were the days when interest rate differential was in it’s favour…he used to sit long NOK  for months…:D

[SF Monedge]

For those of us who like to play around a bit with crosses, Nok/Jpy moves a little slower than other pairs and appears to be targeting 14.35 again.  Bias has been decidedly buy side in the prior 10 days, any declines have not pierced outer range pivots but have been compromising upside key value areas and, 14.35 is one of them.  Any price activity from 14.32 is likely to pull back today/overnight in our model.

Frank, it is on our list and depends on what we can do within the program. Thanks for the suggestion and reminder.

EURO 1.0840

bit on the backfoot post 10am in ny
technically somewhere between ambivalent and bullish

Res 1.0890
Sup 1.0810

lagarde yaks at top of hour

[SF Monedge]

See 10yr capping around or below 42.80 for the day likely.  Advance/Decline ratio noted earlier is for S/P 500.

[Belgrade Knez]

if EURUSD goes down to 1.0820, then high probability to go even further down to 1.0810 to test Friday low

[SF Monedge]

Side note – Advance/Decline ratio is decidedly underwater albeit pulling up a pinch.  That will usually effect Eur in tandem.
