Repositioning FX and Trump's new war

Yesterday, repositioning was continuing in the foreign exchange market. Traders tried to incorporate the change in the vector of the Fed’s monetary policy into the dollar price. As a result, today the probability of a rate cut at the July meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee is 100%. At the same time, 65% of traders are waiting for a decline of 0.25%, and 35% - by 0.5%. Note that a month ago, the probability of a rate cut in July was estimated by markets at 20%.

Since vector changing of US monetary policy is a tectonic thing not only for the US economy but also for the world economy and the foreign exchange market as well, it is naive to believe that the markets will fully take this into account in one day. So we continue to recommend looking for points for dollar sales.

Moreover, Trump seems to be going to redirect his efforts from escalating the trade war to a currency war. A strong dollar reduces to zero his protectionist efforts. So the attack on the dollar seems quite logical. And even if we do not see active opposition on the currency front, such rumors will have a negative impact on the dollar, because everyone wants to be the first to sell the dollar before it drops.

The Bank of England, as well as the Bank of Japan, decided to leave the monetary policy parameters unchanged yesterday. So, the Japanese yen and the pound moved in line with the basic trends of the foreign exchange market, without showing any particular individuality.

About the UK. Boris Johnson won the vote for the fourth time and received 157 votes and left only 3 positions on the list of candidates.

The end of the week is likely to be hectic. The markets have not taken into account the Fed's decision, and data on business activity in the Eurozone and the US, as well as retail sales in Canada, may well trigger a surge in volatility in the foreign exchange market.

Our trading preferences for today: we will look for points for selling the US dollar primarily against the Japanese yen, as well as the euro and even the pound, sell oil and the Russian ruble, and also buy gold.
