The U.S. November Global Supply Chain Stress Index will be released in ten minutes.December 4th - According to four sources familiar with the matter, Gazprombank and Alfa Bank are seeking licenses to operate in India. This move comes as Russia seeks to expand trade with its largest seaborne oil customer. US President Trump recently pressured Indian authorities regarding India-Russia relations, with both countries aiming to increase bilateral trade from the current $69 billion to $100 billion by 2030. Alfa Bank, Russias largest private bank, has been under Western sanctions since the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Gazprombank, partially owned by energy company Gazprom, previously handled payments for Moscows energy exports until it was added to the sanctions list last year. The four sources said the two banks have applied to the Reserve Bank of India for licenses to open branches in the country, and the announcement is expected during Russian President Putins visit to India.December 4th - The transition period for the implementation of the new mandatory national standard for electric bicycles, "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles" (GB17761-2024), officially ended on November 30, 2025. An official from the Consumer Goods Industry Department stated that some companies, in implementing the new standard, did not fully and accurately understand it, particularly failing to adequately consider consumers actual needs during product design, resulting in a less user-friendly experience and leading to criticism of the vehicles produced and released. This situation is not widespread in the industry. Going forward, the Consumer Goods Industry Department will continue to closely monitor consumer feedback on electric bicycle products, encouraging manufacturers to continuously optimize product research and development, increase the market supply of models meeting the new standard, and better meet consumer travel needs.On December 4th, Wang Qing, chief macro analyst at Golden Credit Rating, stated that data shows 1 trillion yuan of 3-month reverse repos will mature in December. Therefore, the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) conducted a 1 trillion yuan reverse repo operation on December 5th, meaning that the same amount of 3-month reverse repos were rolled over that month, marking the second consecutive month of equal-amount rollovers using this policy tool. In Wang Qings view, the lack of an increased rollover of 3-month reverse repos in December may be related to the maturity structure of financial institutions funding needs and does not represent a reduction in the PBOCs liquidity injection efforts. With 400 billion yuan of 6-month reverse repos maturing in December, the PBOC is expected to conduct another 6-month reverse repo operation that month, with a high probability of an increased rollover.Mexican President Sinbaum: He will travel to Washington on Thursday to meet with US President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Carney.

The Dollar Index's Top-to-Bottom Reversal Indicates a Potential Momentum Shift

On Friday, the US Dollar fell versus a basket of foreign currencies after gaining more than 100 points for the first time in over two years. It reached a high of 100.20 during the session, its highest level since May 2020.

 

Despite the fact that it formed a potentially bearish closing price reversal top, it ended the week up 1.3 percent. Throughout the week, the dollar index was mostly supported by a rise in US Treasury yields and a weaker Euro.

 

The June US Dollar Index closed at 99.753 on Friday, down 0.007 or -0.01 percent. The Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund ETF (UUP) closed at $26.68, an increase of $0.01 or 0.02%.

 

On Friday, the US Treasury 10-year yield surpassed 2.7 percent for the first time in three years, aided by the likelihood of more aggressive Federal Reserve tightening. Additionally, this week's release of the Fed's March meeting minutes revealed that "many" members were prepared to raise rates in future months in 50-basis-point increments.

 

In other news, the Euro was under pressure as the election battle between President Emmanuel Macron and far-right contender Marine Le Pen tightened in France, the Euro Zone's second-largest economy. Macron continues to lead polls.

Technical Analysis of the Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the primary trend is upward. However, Friday's closing price reversal top implies that momentum is about to move downward.

 

A move above 99.745 will confirm the price reversal top at the close. This could initiate a 2-3 day adjustment. A break of 100.200 will invalidate the chart pattern and suggest the resumed uptrend. The primary trend will revert to the downside upon a break of 97.730.

 

Minor values range from 97.730 to 100.200. The nearest support level is at its 50% level, or pivot, of 98.965.

 

The critical support level is the long-term Fibonacci retracement level around 98.200.

Scenario of the Bear

Persistent movement below 99.975 indicates the existence of sellers. Taking out 99.745 will confirm the price reversal top at the close. If this generates sufficient downside momentum, expect the selling to extend towards the minor pivot at 98.965.

Scenario of Bullishness

Sustaining a move over 99.975 indicates the presence of buyers. The initial objective on the upside is 100.200.

 

If 100.200 is breached, the closing price reversal top will be invalidated, signaling the resumption of the uptrend. If buying is sufficiently strong, we may see an acceleration to the upside, with the next big objective of 100.560 – 100.930.
