US 10YR FUTURE TECHS: (Z5) Support At The 50-Day EMA Remains Intact

Oct-02 16:15
  • RES 4: 114-10   High Apr 7 (cont.)
  • RES 3: 114-00   Round number resistance
  • RES 2: 113-12/29 High Sep 18 / High Sep 11 and the bull trigger 
  • RES 1: 113-00 High Sep 24 
  • PRICE:‌‌ 112-25 @ 17:13 BST Oct 2
  • SUP 1: 112-11/01 50-day EMA / 50.0% of Jul 15 - Sep 11 bull phase   
  • SUP 2: 111-26   Low Aug 26
  • SUP 3: 111-13+ Low Aug 18 and a key support  
  • SUP 4: 111-01+ 76.4% retracement of the Jul 15 - Sep 11 bull phase  

Treasuries bounced Wednesday and the contract is holding on to its latest gains. Attention is on support at the 50-day EMA, currently at 112-11. A clear break of this average would undermine a bull theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. This would open 111-13+, the Aug 18 low and the next key support. On the upside, initial firm resistance to watch is unchanged, at 113-00, the Sep 24 high. A break would be bullish.

ECB: Muller Sticks To Patient Stance, Doesn’t See Material ECB Forecast Revision

Sep-02 16:08
  • Speaking to Bloomberg Adria, ECB’s Muller said “It’s reasonable right now to take the time and monitor the economic data as it comes in the following months and take any different decisions if necessary,”
  • As was the case ahead of the July ECB decision, he again sees a hold in September as one that “makes sense”.
  • These remarks aren't a surprise from Muller, being very similar to Jul 25 remarks: "It is appropriate to leave interest rates unchanged for the time being when shaping monetary policy and to assess whether and when interest rates need to be adjusted again based on data in the coming months and quarters"
  • More interestingly he said new ECB forecasts next week won’t change significantly from the previous batch in June.
  • “In light of all of this turmoil that we have seen in the recent past, starting with the trade policy in the US, also the impact of war in Ukraine that we have now for a number of years, the economy has held up quite well in Europe,” Muller said. Looking at recent data, “we could still assume that we are more or less on the path that was already there during the last round of projections for the ECB.”
