Fundamental Analysis:

In the June meeting, the Federal Reserve maintained interest rates for the fourth consecutive time. The dot plot indicates two rate cuts within the year. Inflation levels are slightly high, and uncertainty regarding the economic outlook has somewhat diminished. The unemployment rate is at a low level, and the labor market is stable. In June, non-farm payrolls added 147,000 jobs, slightly above expectations, with an unemployment rate of 4.1%, lower than previous values and expectations, indicating a robust labor market. The unadjusted CPI year-on-year for May slightly increased but was below expectations; the core PCE price index for May showed a slight rebound; the ISM manufacturing PMI for May also showed a slight rebound.

Technical Analysis:

The U.S. Dollar Index fluctuated and retreated yesterday, closing with an upper shadow on the daily chart, indicating selling pressure above. Short-term trading is intense, and there is a possibility of a pullback to the support below, with a higher probability of continuing the rebound. Attention should be paid to the effectiveness of the support area. Overall, the large-scale structure is fluctuating weakly, with a slowdown in the rate of decline, and a short-term rebound trend is emerging. The resistance area above is around 99.5-100, while the support area below is around 96-97.

Viewpoint: Short-term rebound, with bulls slightly favored; pay attention to the effectiveness of the support area below.

In the short term, bulls still dominate, and the probability of continued rebound is relatively high, focusing on buying on dips. Overall, crude oil has undergone a significant correction previously, testing important structures, which may signal stabilization. The pressure area above is around 79-80, while the support area below is around 64-65.

Fundamental Analysis:

The European Central Bank’s June interest rate decision saw a continuous seventh rate cut of 25 basis points, nearing the end of the rate-cutting cycle, with no discussion on neutral rates. The inflation forecast for this year and next was lowered, as was the GDP growth forecast for next year, due to trade upgrades leading to slower economic growth and inflation. The June Federal Reserve interest rate decision remained unchanged, with a robust labor market, slightly high short-term inflation, and reduced economic uncertainty. The dot plot indicates two rate cuts within the year. The Eurozone’s June manufacturing PMI slightly missed expectations, with not much difference.

Technical Analysis:

The euro price showed a slightly oscillating structure yesterday, with the short cycle testing the support area multiple times without a significant breakdown. There is pressure above and support below, and in the short term, there may be a tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Pay attention to the direction of the breakout; if there is a significant breakdown of the support structure, be cautious of further market corrections. Overall, the daily chart shows an upward oscillation, with a strong structure in the larger cycle, entering a short-term adjustment. The pressure area above is around 1.1780-1.1800, while the small-level support area below is around 1.1680-1.1700.

Viewpoint: Short-term correction, try short positions during the day and take profits in a timely manner.
