Bond Yields Rise To 11-Year High, U.S. Oil Hovering Below $120


1. Forex Market Insight    

EUR/USD  

The plan of the European Central Bank (ECB) to open interest rate hikes after July reflects their slow response to tightening monetary policy.  

At the same time, the crisis in Ukraine has exposed energy, refugees and food crises as obstacles to economic recovery. 

Therefore, the short-term rebound space for the euro is limited. 

Technical Analysis:

We focus on the 1.0529-line today. If EUR runs steadily below the 1.0529-line, then pay attention to the support strength of the two positions of 1.0357 and 1.0184. If the strength of EUR breaks above the 1.0529-line, then pay attention to the suppression strength of the two positions of 1.0642 and 1.0697.   

GBP Intraday Trend Analysis   

Fundamental Analysis:

GBP/USD fluctuated and fell last week, as a result of strong dollar and pressure put on by the U.K. political crisis.  

But expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of England next week could help limit the pound’s decline. 

Despite the unstable economic situation, the market expects the Bank of England to continue tightening policy, announcing a 25 basis point rate hike at its monetary policy meeting on 16th June 2022. 

Additionally, some analysts expect that the Bank of England benchmark interest rate increase to 1% will stop raising interest rates, as market participants remain concerned about the outlook for the British economy. 

Inflationary fever exacerbates the risk of stagflation.
