CROSS ASSET: Rev. Repo Rate Cut & Easing Exp. See Chinese Rates Back To Pre-ZCS Removal Levels

Jun-13 09:37

USD/CNH briefly looked through the uptrend channel that we have flagged on numerous occasions in recent days, registering a fresh YtD high in the process, before pulling back to last print a touch higher on the day at CNH7.1630.

  • Mainland equities managed to rally at an index level (CSI 300 +0.5% at the close), on the back of the already deployed/expectations surrounding further policy easing, although the recent marginal net selling bias via the HK Stock Connect mechanism remained intact for a third straight day.
  • Benchmark 10-Year Year CGB yields eased by 6bp, while 5-Year NDIRS rates showed below 2.40%, as pre-ZCS removal levels came into play (we had previously pointed to the need for a more notable easing bias from the PBoC to facilitate such a move).

OUTLOOK: Price Signal Summary - EURUSD Approaches Resistance At The 50-Day EMA

Jun-13 09:32
  • In FX, EURUSD is firmer today. The pair has breached 1.0779, the Jun 2 high, reinforcing a short-term bullish theme. Attention turns to resistance at 1.0812, the 50-day EMA where a clear break would signal scope for an extension higher. Note that the trend condition remains bearish and the latest bounce appears to be a correction. A failure at the 50-day EMA and a reversal lower would refocus sights on the bear trigger at 1.0635, the May 31 low.
  • Yesterday’s move lower in GBPUSD appears to be a correction and a bull cycle remains in play. Resistance at 1.2545, Jun 2 high, was cleared last week, and yesterday’s early gains resulted in a print above 1.2592, 76.4% of the May 10 - 25 downleg. A clear break of this level would expose key resistance at 1.2680, May 10 high. First support is 1.2468, the 20-day EMA.
  • The trend condition in USDJPY remains bullish and attention is on key resistance at the top of a bull channel drawn from the Jan 16 low. The line intersects at 141.30 today. A clear break of this hurdle would reinforce a bullish theme and open 141.61, the Nov 23 2022 high. For bears, a strong reversal lower would instead highlight a potential top and signal scope for a deeper pullback inside the channel. Support is at 138.80, the 20-day EMA.
