Bank of England Chief Economist Peel: Monetary policy has not been tight enough in the past few years.June 29th - Thomas Mathews, Head of Asia Pacific Markets at Capital Economics, stated in a report that the rally in US Treasuries that previously drove yields lower is expected to lose momentum, while German bonds may rise further. He said that US Treasuries face some key tests this week. He pointed out that one of the key reasons for the Federal Reserves rate cuts is to protect the health of the labor market. "But labor market momentum has strengthened recently, and we expect the US June jobs report, to be released later this week, to be strong again," Mathews said. It is becoming increasingly clear that labor market conditions will not be a reason to postpone tightening policy. "This may be the biggest risk facing US Treasuries in the near term, but it is not the only risk."On June 29th, Samsung Group Chairman Lee Jae-yong stated, "This is a race against time."

WTI Price Analysis: 50-SMA stimulates China data-led recovery near $80.00

WTI crude oil remains defensive near the lowest level in a week, near $81.05 on Tuesday morning. In doing so, black gold struggles to be buoyed by China's positive data while consolidating the month's largest daily loss.

 

According to the most recent economic data from China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the first quarter (Q1) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 2.2% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ), compared to 2.2% expected and 0.0% in the prior quarter. In addition, Retail Sales grew 10.9% YoY in March versus 7.4% expected and 3.5% previously, while Industrial Production grew 3.9% versus 4.0% expected and 2.5% previously. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers. 

 

In addition to the generally positive China data, the nearly oversold RSI (14) line has contributed to the black gold's recent approach to the $81.40 50-day simple moving average.

 

Notably, however, pessimistic MACD signals and a two-week-old horizontal resistance area between $81.60 and $80 could impede the commodity's further advance. Following that, attention will shift to the recent multi-day high marked in the last week, around $83.40.

 

In contrast, WTI's further decline could target the round figure of $80 before challenging the previous resistance line from late January, which is now support near $79.20.

 

If the price remains adverse beyond $79.20, a rising support line from March 20 near $77.30 will be the last line of defense for WTI bulls.
