POWER: Dutch Government To Introduce Offshore Wind Subsidies

Sep-17 07:27

The Dutch government said on Tuesday it plans to grand around €1bln in subsidies for new offshore wind farm with 2GW of capacity according to Reuters. 

  • In May, the government announced it will postpone two planned offshore wind tenders for a combined capacity of 2GW amid waning interest.
  • Last month, government approved a phased build for the 2GW IJmuiden Ver Beta offshore wind farm, delaying half of its capacity to 2032 due to setbacks in the Delta Rhine Corridor hydrogen pipeline.

USDCAD TECHS: Watching Support At The 20-Day EMA

Aug-18 07:25
  • RES 4: 1.4111 High Apr 10  
  • RES 3: 1.4019 38.2% retracement of the Feb 3 - Jun 16 bear leg 
  • RES 2: 1.3920 High May 21
  • RES 1: 1.3879 High Aug 1 and a bull trigger 
  • PRICE: 1.3798 @ 08:24 BST Aug 18
  • SUP 1: 1.3722 Low Aug 22
  • SUP 2: 1.3576 Low Jul 23 
  • SUP 3: 1.3557/40 Low Jul 3 / Low Jun 16 and the bear trigger
  • SUP 4: 1.3503 1.618 proj of the Feb 3 - 14 - Mar 4 price swing

USDCAD remains subdued, despite the recent shallow recovery. Attention is on support around the 20-day EMA, at 1.3758. A clear break of this EMA would resume the correction off the early August high at 1.3879. This would expose 1.3576, the Jul 23 low. Key medium-term support and the bear trigger lies at 1.3540, the Jun 16 low. For bulls, a break of 1.3879, the Aug 1 high, would cancel a bear threat and resume the recent bull cycle.
