Morning Insights 10th December

Analyst


Instrument: OIL (Brent)

Technical Analysis

Bearish Preference: Sell position is envisaged if price trades below 48.78 with take profit at 48.40

Bullish Preference: Buy position is envisaged if price trades above 49.02 with take profit at 49.40

Fundamentals: 

No major economic data with bearing on the commodity

Comment: Brent closed higher in yesterday's session, buoyed by imminent approval of the vaccine in the United States and the rollout of the vaccine in Britain. This sentiment outweighs the large buildup of crude oil in the United States. Data from Energy Information Administration showed a 15.1 million barrel build-up as against 1.424 million predicted, but the optimism of a faster than expected economic recovery dominated sentiment. 



Instrument: US30

Technical Analysis

Bullish Preference: Buy position is envisaged if price trades above 30150 with a take profit 30250

Bearish Preference: Sell position is envisaged if price trades below 29950 with take profit at 29800

Fundamentals:    

No major economic data

Comment: US30 closed bearish yesterday because of the halting progress of economic stimulus talks; coupled with a decline in tech stocks after Facebook was slammed with a lawsuit suspecting their domineering operations. It is envisaged that this drop was also a healthy pullback for US30 to continue its bullish move, as investors are still confident of an economic recovery.



Instrument: EURUSD

Technical Analysis

Bullish Preference: Buy position is envisaged if price trades above 1.20993 with a take profit 1.21225

Bearish Preference: Enter a Sell position if price trades below 1.20782 with take profit at 1.20431

Fundamentals:

EU Economic Summit (EUR) 1:45 pm

Main Refinancing Rate (EUR) 1:45 pm

Monetary Policy Statement (EUR) 1:45 pm

ECB Press Conference  (EUR) 2:30pm

Comment: The EURO has seen a slight decline majorly due to the Brexit talks and also coupled with economic stimulus talks. The Brexit conversations still have not reached a conclusion, and most investors are having mixed sentiment on the direction of this agreement. Therefore, we have seen a significant change in the market structure of the pair. It is envisaged that the bullish move of this morning is just a pullback and the bearish move will continue for a while.
