US President Trump: Americans are paying higher gasoline prices, but its a "very cheap price" relative to what the US has achieved.On September 17, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced a 25 basis point increase in its benchmark interest rate to 4.25%. This is the first adjustment to the benchmark interest rate by the HKMA since 2023, ending a period of interest rate stability. This rate hike is a direct response to the Federal Reserves policy change on the same day. The HKMA stated explicitly that following the Feds policy is to maintain the Hong Kong dollars peg to the US dollar. Under this system, the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar, and Hong Kongs monetary policy must be linked to the US to ensure exchange rate stability. Despite the increase in the benchmark interest rate, the market remains cautious about the actual changes in local credit costs in Hong Kong. As is customary, major Hong Kong banks typically announce their own interest rate adjustment plans later that day after the HKMAs adjustment, with changes to the prime lending rate being particularly crucial.Multiple explosions were heard in Kyiv, Ukraine, in the early hours of September 17 local time.US President Trump: (Regarding Iran) I predict the war will end soon, and the government has transformed the United States from a “dark age” to a “golden age.”September 17th - US President Trump: "That war? That war will be over soon. Just watch. You just watch. Trump is right about everything. You just watch. They are being destroyed. They (Iran) very much want a deal. They call and say, We want a deal!"

Price Analysis: EUR/JPY Symmetrical Triangle Signals Upcoming Consolidation

Daniel Rogers

May 20, 2022 10:08

The EUR/JPY pair is bouncing within a narrow range of 13510-135.44 at the start of the Tokyo session, following a stronger advance from its critical support at 134.00. This week, the cross has showed erratic behavior and has relinquished all of its gains from the first two trading sessions.

 

The creation of a Symmetrical Triangle on an hourly basis suggests a rangebound motion in the following trading sessions. The ascending trendline is drawn from the previous week's low of 132.66, while the descending trendline is drawn from the May 9 high of 138.32. A symmetrical triangle typically results in a decline in volatility, followed by a breakout in the same.

 

The 20-period and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) are overlapping, indicating an impending consolidation.

 

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) oscillates between 40.00 and 60.00, indicating a lack of direction. Therefore, investors should anticipate a further reduction in volatility.

 

After fluctuating in a tight range, a significant decline below the Symmetrical Triangle at 134.70 will push the asset towards Thursday's bottom at 133.93, followed by last week's low at 132.66.

 

Alternately, the shared currency bulls might propel the asset higher towards Wednesday's high of 136.67 and May 9's high of 138.32 if the Symmetrical Triangle is broken to the upside at 135.5.
