CHINA PRESS: China's New Capital Market Development Guideline Signals Bullet Market
Some market insiders expect A-shares to rally after the State Council last week published a key guideline for the high-quality development of China's capital market, National Business Daily reported. The last two guidelines published in 2004 and 2014 precipitated bull markets with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching 6,124 points in 2007 and 5,178 points in 2015. The new guideline pledges to build a policy system that supports long-term value investment, encourage state-owned insurance companies’ long-term equity investment by improving their performance evaluation, and improve the investment flexibility of enterprise annuities and personal pensions. The Shanghai Index closed 0.49% down at 3,019.47 on Friday.

Recent weakness in JGBs resulted in a low print of 144.90 on Friday. A stronger reversal higher is required to signal the end of the recent corrective phase. The bull trigger has been defined at 147.74, the mid-January high. A break would resume the uptrend. Moving average studies remain in a bull-mode set-up, highlighting an uptrend. For bears, a resumption of weakness would potentially open the 144.60 support.

- SUP 3: 1.3343 Low Jan 12
- SUP 4: 1.3288 Low Jan 5
USDCAD short-term conditions remain bearish, however, a continuation of the latest recovery would undermine this theme and expose key resistance and the bull trigger at 1.3606, the Feb 28 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend that has been in place since December 27. For bears, a move below 1.3420, the Mar 8 low, would resume bearish activity and open 1.3359, the Jan 31 low.

The latest pullback in AUDUSD appears to be a correction. The pair has pierced support around the 50-day EMA - at 0.6572. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper pullback towards the next key support at 0.6478, the Mar 5 low. On the upside, clearance of resistance at 0.6668, the Mar 8 high, is required to resume the bull cycle and open 0.6708, a Fibonacci retracement.
