The Reserve Bank of Australia, (RBA) has surprised much of the market by raising the country's cash rate by just 25 basis points. With analysts expecting a more aggressive 50 bps hike, the smaller lift will provide relief to much of the country's housing market and equity market. RBA, Chairman, Phillip Lowe outlined how previous rate rises had already begun struggling with the previous rate rises.

International volatility has also become much higher with retirement funds in the UK needing to be bailed out by the Bank of England after the funds found themselves inundated with the liquidity issues due to spikes in yield on many of the UK government bonds that they were holding. With the global financial system so interconnected there was a very real chance that a trillion dollars’ worth of bonds would be exposed without intervention effecting far more then just the UK’s financial system. In addition, worries over both Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse also being in trouble with their risk of defaulting potentially increasing.

This had the RBA worried that the situation could turn very quickly in Australia and sparked the lower rate. With relatively low rates of inflation the RBA has had more flexibility to adjust the aggressiveness of its hikes as it has gone along and todays changes showed that. The bank still expects inflation for the year to be between 6-7 %.

In response to the hikes the AUD dropped sharply on the news falling by 0.52%. Australian equities saw a large jump increasing by 0.93% for the half an hour after the announcement. With inflation still at elevated levels, there is no guarantee that the lower rate hikes will continue.

I have recently written a piece on the weakening of the Great British Pound (GBP) just the other day, as it looks like the dollar seems to be king at present and getting stronger against all other top currencies around the world. Today is the Chinese Yuan in focus, yesterday was the Sterling pound, who’s your money on tomorrow? We will have to wait and see on that front, but lets quickly dive into why is the Chinese Yuan falling to record lows against the dollar?

The offshore yuan depreciated past 7.2 per dollar, sinking to its lowest levels since data on offshore trading became available in 2011, dragged down by a strong dollar amid expectations for more Federal Reserve rate hikes and a widespread risk aversion in the markets. The yuan also weakened despite efforts by authorities to arrest its slide which are so far having limited impact. In the latest developments, the People’s Bank of China raised the foreign exchange risk reserves for financial institutions when purchasing FX through currency forwards to 20% from the current zero starting on Sept. 28th, making it more expensive to bet against the local currency.

A gloomy domestic outlook also weighed on China’s currency, with Nomura and Goldman Sachs slashing their 2023 economic growth forecast for China sharply, predicting Beijing will stick to its strict zero-COVID strategy well into next year. China’s yuan recovered slightly after falling to a 14-year low against the $$$ Wednesday despite central bank efforts to stem the slide after U.S. interest rate hikes prompted traders to convert money into dollars in search of higher returns. At one point, the yuan fell to 7.2301 to the dollar, its lowest level since January 2008.

One yuan was worth about 13.8 cents, down 15% from its March high. As you can see below, the FEDs strategy has reinforced strength in the dollar, a currency that has been rising to records highs, is now contributing to economic pains in various jurisdictions around the world making more expensive for countries such as China, Japan and UK to name a few, to spend more on importing and making their debt even harder to manage, as they also try to keep on top of inflation by raising interest rates which in turn puts off investors who are looking for value in the market; followed by a run on certain currencies as seen with the GBP to bring it to parity (well almost) with the USD. The Dollar Against the World Currencies (As of 16:40 AEST 29/09/2022) There have been ample opportunities to get involved in the FX markets of late, if it’s not buying the dollar, it is to sell other currencies against it, but tread carefully markets are volatile and a sense of trading responsibly must be heeded.

Many trading strategies utilise technical analysis to predict price patterns and for entries and exits. These strategies revolve often begin with the idea of the price having identifiable support, resistance and trendline market structures which indicate where various buying and selling points can be placed for a trade. These support and resistance indicate far more then just the price at a moment in time.

Rather they reflect the psychology of the market at a given point in time. However, when trading it is important to remember that the market is not just made of one type of trader. The market is made up of day traders, swing traders, scalpers, funds, hedge funds, retirement funds, Investment banks and all in between.

Each of these participants has their own time frame for a trade/investment. This element is the key as to why trader can utilise multiple time frame analysis. The theory it that the more market participant who view the respective level as a support or resistance, the more likely it will act in that way.

For example Assume that the price of stock A is sitting on a 5-minute support at $100. Looking purely at this 5-minute chart a trader may look to buy on this support level. However, after looking at the 30-minute chart, the chart shows that the price is not actually a support but rather just a random price point and therefor no trade is entered.

Alternatively, the 30-price chart supports the original price as a support and therefore may support the price point being a support point. How to implement multiple analysis into your trading. Determine your standard trading timeframe.

This step should be a relatively simple step if you have a clear edge. For some traders it can be 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, one day or even one week. Work back usually by a factor a factor of 4/5 or by a logical time frame adjustment Prior to your first drawing of support resistance and trendline it is important that you adjust the timeframe of your price chart by a factor of 4/5 or a by logical adjustment such as an hour – to a day or day to week.

Example 5min – 30 min 1 hour – 4 hours 1 hour – day 1 day – 1 week 1 week – 1 month Add in Support and Resistance Lines on longer term time frames The analysis can now start, and the key is to draw the most obvious and consistent support and resistance time frames. This step also serves an important step in helping determine if the price is trending or is ranging. Revert to trading time frame and redo the same process highlighting convergences The next step is to revert to the desired trading time frame and conduct the same process.

This time if there is a Support/resistance line that is already made and acts as one on the shorter timeframe, highlight it or tag it. Looking at the example below for US car making company Tesla, the process is shown on the chart below. Firstly, with the weekly chart, support and resistance points were plotted with the black lines.

The below the daily chart shows that the support point at $265.25 acts as support for both timeframes. This indicates that price may act with more strength as a support zone. Similarly, if the level breaks it may indicate a more powerful move because more market participant will likely be involved.

In the other example for the EURUSD the same process has been done and shows that the price at 0.9600 is also doubling as a support on the daily and weekly charts. The use of multiple time frame analysis can optimise trading systems by reducing risks of fake breakouts and improving entry and exit accuracy.

Natural Gas prices have had a volatile year to say the least. After finding multi decade highs on the back of geo-political volatility and record high inflation levels the price has seen an aggressive retracement. With the overall commodities market suffering a big drop as recessionary pressures have taken over and a resilient USD, Natural gas has seen a 30 per cent drop from its peak.

News about leaks in the Nord Stream 1 Pipeline and Russia's control over much of the rest of Europe's supply has seen an increase of volatility and with Europe entering winter soon and the surety of supply still on a knifes edge, the market remains volatile. Looking at the recent price action of Natural Gas, the long-term chart shows that the current price is sitting on a strong area of support at 6 USD. Not only is the price sitting on a strong area of support, the area also doubles as the 200-day average.

The weekly candle is a Doji showing indecision as buyers and sellers look to find the equilibrium price. By comparing both the RSI from the weekly and daily charts its can be observed that there is interesting divergence of patterns. On the weekly timeframe, the RSI is consolidating into a symmetrical triangle whilst the daily RSI shows a bounce off the oversold zone.

This may provide a clue as to which direction the price may go next. If the price continues to bounce off the oversold level, it may indicate a longer-term break on the weekly chart. This bounce would provide an obvious target for a reversal to the long side to the top of the range at 10 USD.

With general market volatility still quite high and commodities seeing aggressive moves, the next 6-12 months may provide some interesting trading opportunities for natural gas in both directions.

Maturity, Yields, Par Values and Coupon payments. These are words that everyone has heard of but not many have a good understanding of what they mean. In this article all these complicated terms will be explained.

Please note that while this information is most relevant for physical bonds, it is still important to understand when dealing with CFD’s as they play an important role in how bond CFD’s are valued. What is a Bond? A bond is an instrument that is used by companies and governments and other entities to raise money through the issuing of debt.

There are different typed of bonds however, the simplest bonds are contracts in which an issuer (Company/Government) receives a payment from the purchaser or bond holder in exchange for the rights to interest plus the principal amount. For example, a government may issue a 10-year bond for $1000 in which they agree to pay 1% interest per annum which will equate to $10 per year. In addition, they will pay back the principal amount once the bond matures.

Key Terms Issuer – The entity that sells the bond initially and must make payments. Holder – The entity who is possession of the bond. Principal – The amount of debt that the government/company has taken that will be paid at maturity.

Par Value – The nominal value of the bond or the price when it was issued. Coupon Payment - The interest payment that is paid to the bond holder. Yield –The coupon payment divided by the Bonds face value.

Maturity – The date when the principal amount of the bond will be paid back. Bond Ratings Generally, Bonds are rated according by agencies, based on how safe the underlying assets are. For instance, government bonds tend to be rated the highest as they are guaranteed by the government, and governments are highly unlikely to default.

In a practical sense, the US government is such a reliable issuer that it should never default on the repayments. This makes Bond’s a great asset to act as a hedge against unsystematic risk. On the other hand, corporate bonds may be given lower ratings depending on their credit risks.

Inverse Relationship between Bond Price and Yield The price and yields for bonds are inversely related. This is important to note as bonds are often charted against their yield and not price which is how derivatives are often charted. Therefore, a trader should be aware of the inverse relationship between price and yield.

This occurs because as the price of a bond changes up or down the interest rate must adjust to ensure that the coupon payment is the same. Assume Bond A is issued at $1000 dollars and 10% interest rate to pay a $100 coupon. 1 Year later that same bond is now priced at $900, however the bond must still pay out a $100 coupon. However, to get a coupon payment of $100, the interest rate must increase.

The formula below shows this: $900 x Interest Rate = 100. Simple Algebra shows that the interest rate = 11.1% Understanding this relationship will make eliminate one of the more confusing elements of trading bonds. Catalysts for Bond Prices The general factors that influence a bond’s price are related to the interest rates and the broader economy.

For instance, if the market interest rate 2% and the bond’s coupon rate is 1%, then the bond will trade at a lower price and vice versa. Subsequently, bonds can be a handy way of tracking the sentiment as they often reflect the feeling in the market. Economic events can impact on the performance of bonds.

When the economy is growing and equities are doing well, bonds tend to perform worse as the return is limited. However, during times of volatility and poor stock market performance, the bond market tends to perform better as the market looks for safety in the guaranteed returns from bonds. Inflationary pressure and low or high interest rates can influence the direction of the way in which bonds are traded.

Generally, in a strong economic market, bonds with longer maturities tend to have higher yields than those in shorter maturity. This is generally due to the thought that the time that is further in the future will has more uncertainty than that in the near-term future. The general exception to this is when the market expects a recession soon.

This causes what is known as an inverted yield curve, in which the shorter-term bond is yielding a higher interest then the long-term bonds. You can trade CFD on the 10 Year US treasury note, 5 Year US treasury Note, UK Gilt, Euro Bund and the JGB Japan Futures on Go Markets Metatrader 5 platform
