核心CPI持续走高,美元指数止步不前?

热门话题

上一周,我们预测了CPI以及核心CPI的走势,果不其然,CPI下降幅度不及预期,预期8.1%,公布值为8.2%,前值为8.3%,照这个节奏,下次CPI怕是要结束下降开始上升了;核心CPI和我们预期的一样,出现了超过预期值6.5%的上升,公布值为6.6%,从图表上看,依旧维持一个上升的趋势。

最新的数据表明,食品指数上涨0.8%,与8月的涨幅相同;能源指数继8月下跌5.0%之后,于9月下跌2.1%,汽油指数继8月下跌10.6%之后, 9月下跌4.9%;扣除了食品和能源的所有项目指数也就是核心CPI较上个月相比,上涨0.6%,涨幅与上月相同,并且从表中可以看出,核心CPI自从2022年3月份开始,就一直在上涨。这一份最新的通胀数据证实了我们的担忧,通胀的确在短期之内难以回落,核心通胀的抬头趋势十分明显。这样一来,市场对于11月份,美联储加息75个基点的预期更加坚定,对于美元来讲是利好的。

美元指数在CPI数据公布后先涨后跌,目前已经来到了近2周一来的低点,虽然美元出现了一定的回调,但是从技术面上来看,也在支撑位附近,结合宏观持续看多美元的看法,依旧可以尝试逢低做多,这一波回撤也给了进场机会。再看美日,美元回落,但美日却依旧维持在高位,并且准备冲击150的新高,此时的澳美,镑美,欧美距离前低均有超过100点的上涨 ,就连纽元对美元都因美元的回落上涨了130点,日元坐实了弟中之弟的称号,结合之前的思路,其他国家利率决议公布的时候,尤其是市场预计有大幅加息的国家,都可考虑做多相应的货币兑日元。时刻谨记控制仓位,做单前制定好交易计划,并严格执行。免责声明:GO Markets分析师或外部发言人提供的信息基于其独立分析或个人经验。所表达的观点或交易风格仅代表其个人;并不代表GO Markets的观点或立场。联系方式:墨尔本 03 8658 0603悉尼 02 9188 0418中国地区(中文) 400 120 8537中国地区(英文) +248 4 671 903作者:Rick Shao | GO Markets 专业分析师

USD/CHF currency pair chart showing retracement levels and potential entry opportunities
Forex
USDCHF pair retraces as price level indicates a potential entry opportunity

The USD had a pullback in recent days as equities have rebounded allowing for other strong currencies such as the CHF to see From a technical perspective the chart shows some interesting price action that may indicates an important inflection point for the price. On the weekly chart, the price has been in a long-term range between 0.87 CHF and 1.03 CHF. With the USD being so strong over the last year, the price has been consolidating towards the top of the range.

The weekly chart also shows an important pattern forming which is a golden cross. This is when the shorter, (50 week Moving average) crosses over the longer (200 week moving average) which is usually a signal of the Bears taking control. However, looking at past price history this golden cross has not been a particularly accurate indication of a strong rise in price.

Rather it indicates just how choppy the price action is. On the shorter, daily time frame, the price has had a significant sell off to begin this week. Twice, the price has failed to break out of this range, and therefore the price may fall back down to the bottom of the range or at least test the support at 0.98326.

If the price can drop lower, it may fall right to the bottom of the range. On the other hand, both prior sell offs involved aggressive red sell candles. In this case there has only been one so far.

Therefore, waiting for the next sell candle may provide a good entry signal to go short. Alternatively, if the price can base and consolidate it may indicate that a breakout to the outside is about to occur. With economic data related to inflation still to come, the USD may till rise again supporting a potential break.

Psychology
What is mean reversion?

Mean reversion strategies are some of the simplest trading strategy’s used by sophisticated traders. However, when most traders hear the term, they immediately get confused. So, what is mean reversion and why do traders use it as a strategy?

Mean reversion is the tendency for the price of an asset to move back to its long-term average or mean after explosive moves to the up or downside. Traders can therefor capitalise on the end of these explosive moves by going long when the price has broken down and will revert up to the mean or short when there has been a strong move to the upside and the price will fall back to the mean. This strategy is often compared to trend following strategies in which the price tends to moving solely in one direction over a significant period with traders entering at the lows and exiting at the highs.

Mean reversion strategies can actually be used conjunction with a trend following strategy as trend following strategies will often pullback to the long-term mean. What is the mean? The mean is quite simply the average of a price over a time period.

In trading, the average can often be shown by using a moving average of mid points of ranging price. For instance, on a long term a significant average that is seen as the mean is the 200-period moving average. The 200-period moving average is used so often because of its length.

It provides an average over a significant period of time. Other averages that are often used include the 50 Period moving average and 100 period moving average. All three can be used in different ways to measure different reversions to the mean.

On a shorter timeframe, the Volume Weighted Average Price of VWAP is often used as a short-term measure of the mean as it adjust the price for the volume traded as well. What is the premise behind the strategy? The idea behind the strategy comes from the basic principles of supply and demand.

The price of an asset adjusts up and down until the there is a point of equilibrium or where the buyers and sellers reach a stalemate which then becomes the mean. Economic principals say that over time at some stage this phenomenon must occur. Therefore, even if the price of an asset or exploded, at some stage it will have to revert to the mean.

In addition, this process will occur regardless of the time frame. Over longer time frames, the process will still occur, although it may take much longer. For instance, if looking at the daily/weekly time frame, the process may take days and weeks to eventuate.

The examples below show how a simple mean reversion strategy can bring about large potential gains. Whilst this strategy can be extremely profitable it can also be risky because it can contradict some of the psychology that trading is built on especially in the short term. The mean reversion strategy requires the market to price assets based purely on the long-term supply and demand and markets do not always act rationally.

Emotions such as fear, and anxiety rule the market which lead to price action that can put pressure on these types of strategies. On both examples, after significant price movements towards the upside and downside, the prices peaked or bottomed and then returned to their long term mean indicated by the blue 200 period average.. Utilising a mean reversion strategy can provide high return opportunities for traders who can master the skill and strategy.

从英镑暴跌到35年最低价所想到的

热门话题

过去2周的国际金融市场新闻里,除了之前传出的瑞信可能要倒闭以外,另一条最近的超级热门话题就是英国“短命”的财政大臣,这位作为现在女首相曾经的亲密朋友和政治盟友,在不到2个月的任期内就被迫辞职,成为英国女首相之前野心勃勃,但是最终失败的减税计划的替罪羊。

作为澳洲目前的宗主国,也是几乎世界上距离澳洲最远的国家,英国一直以来都距离大部分澳洲朋友的生活很远。除了印象中的伦敦大桥,大本钟,白金汉宫,劳斯莱斯,女王等标志性的事物或人物之外,大家对英国在国际经济中的作用似乎并不了解。今天我们来给大家简单说说英国,这个曾经世界最强国家,世界最大领土国家,日不落帝国过去10年犯的错。大家知道从二战结束以来,英国国际霸主的地位就正式被美国取代,之后又相继被日本和德国在经济上超越。如今虽然英国依然是联合国常任理事国,但是其国际影响力已经大不如从前。但是即便如此,伦敦依然是国际上仅次于纽约的世界主要金融中心,也是欧洲的金融中心。在英国退出欧盟之前,英镑也是独立于欧元长期在国际货币市场扮演着重要的位置。是世界7大货币之一。并曾经一度和美元汇率在2008年金融危机之前达到1:2以上的汇率,也就是一英镑可以兑换两美元。是世界上最值钱的流通货币,没有之一。

从2008年到今天2022年,短短14年之后,英镑和美元的汇率已经最低达到了1:1.05,几乎和美元一样,也就是整整贬值了50%以上。英镑到底是怎么了?其实在今年初美元加息之前,过去10年英国的经济总体已经出现了很大的问题,在2016年英国脱欧之前,由于各种原因,英国的经济表现低于了欧盟中的德国和法国的发展速度,并且差距在不断拉大。英国国内就觉得,如果脱离了欧盟,英国可以发展得更好。因此在脱欧投票中,以52%对48%的微弱优势,选择了脱离欧盟自立门户。然而英国脱欧的结果,并没有得到国际资本市场的认可。所有脑子正常的人都知道,英国离开欧盟经济圈,是弊大于利。于是在金融市场,英镑的价格直接从和美元1.5的汇率暴跌到了1.25附近,整整下跌接近20%。虽然在2020年底在美国世纪大印钱的影响下,英镑一度反弹到了和美元1:1.4的价格。但是自从美国在2022年初加息以后,英镑的价格就如同自由落体,短短半年,暴跌4000点。而英国动荡的政治,也加剧了经济的滑坡:之前的金毛邋遢首相约翰逊被他们自己党内逼下台之后,之前的外交大臣成为了新一届的首相。但是,重点来了。这位希望成为撒切尔第二的女首相为了刺激经济,推出了强劲的减税计划,希望通过可以降低个人所得税,和公司所得税,让英国成为欧洲主要发达国家中的低税率国家,从而可以吸引世界的公司和富豪去英国投资。这个想法是不错,但是有两点致命的问题:1.降低税率,就会减少政府的收入。那收入减少,理论上就需要减少某些方面的政府开支来应对。可惜这位女首相为了不得罪选民,只提出减税,但是并没有说政府开支也会降低。2.英国央行和全世界主要央行一样,已经进入了加息周期,也就是逐步收紧货币政策。而这时英国政府在财政政策上却完全相反,依然大举刺激。这种南辕北辙,相互矛盾的政策,让金融市场和国际货币基金组织都忍不住出来指责。说英国的央行和政府在政策方向上应该统一,一致。英国女首相的减税计划在上周新财政大臣上任后被正式取消。短短两个月,英镑暴跌,英国股市下跌,民意大幅降低之后,英国女首相选择打自己脸,放弃了减税计划。

虽然这样使得英镑在过去24小时里上涨了1%。但是从长期来看,美元加息速度,和英美经济之间的差距依然在不断拉大。所以英镑对于美元的贬值,从长期来看,基本面并没有得到改变。也就是说,我认为在美元加息周期结束之前,美元对欧元,对英镑都会继续升值。提醒大家一句,目前欧元兑换美元的汇率已经是20年来的最低价。而英镑兑换美元的价格则是36年的最低价。日元其实也是几十年的低价。毫无疑问,这样的局面不可能永远持续下去。虽然也许欧元会有21年最低,22年... 英镑会出现37,38年新低。我想说的是,不论是20多年,还是30多年出现的现象,不太会每年都继续延续。随着年份不断的升高,我个人对于进场抄底欧元,日元和英镑越来越激动。但是我知道,美元加息周期没有结束,英国和欧洲最坏的时候(冬天)还没有过去,所以我会忍住,等待。等到欧洲春天来的时候,等到美元加息放慢,甚至停止的时候。那时,就是我们可以考虑20年,30年等一次的机会。另一个思路下,如果大家和我一样,觉得美国还要加息,还没有结束,那结果会怎么样呢?科技指数还会跌,美元指数还会涨,欧洲的金融资产,不论是货币,还是股票指数,都会在未来几个月继续受到巨大的下跌压力。对于我们可以做空的CFD产品来说,依然是春光明媚啊。免责声明:GO Markets分析师或外部发言人提供的信息基于其独立分析或个人经验。所表达的观点或交易风格仅代表其个人;并不代表GO Markets的观点或立场。联系方式:墨尔本 03 8658 0603悉尼 02 9188 0418中国地区(中文) 400 120 8537中国地区(英文) +248 4 671 903作者:Mike Huang | GO Markets 销售总监

2022屈指可数的逆市续航股——IGO

热门话题

IGO Limited目前股价站稳$15以上,今年以来股价已经攀升了34.6%,由今年最低价$9.19涨到过近期的新高点$15.32,7月以来涨幅超过60%。在锂矿股PLS带走大众目光的时候,IGO一直在稳步上行,直到本周PLS被大量抛售,股价突然大幅回落,人们才想起投资组合的重要性,而IGO正是今年熊市艰难走势下急剧稳定性和竞争力的一个选择。

今年下半年以来,股市一蹶不振,随着美联储带头采取货币紧缩政策大规模加息缩表,美股已经跌破了今年低位,纳斯达克综合指数甚至跌破了技术面的55月均线,这一情况只有在2008年金融危机的时候才出现过。在这样的行情下,澳股也纷纷下挫,大部分吹上天的资源类成长股都快被腰斩了。目前最稳妥的澳股布局名单中,煤炭的WHC算一个,锂矿商PLS算一个,还有锂矿铁矿通杀的MIN,若要组成四大天王,最后一位非IGO莫属。从一年的走势看,这四位的股价可谓完全不受政策影响,堪称逆市上涨的典范。IGO目前市值超过了115亿澳元,甚至在这样恶劣的市场环境下股价刚刚在本周走出了接近$16的新高,每天成交金额保持在5000万至一亿澳元,是活跃度很高的股票。尽管目前股息率偏低,但IGO项目众多,涉足甚广,这也是它在澳洲这样一个矿产资源极其丰富的国家特别有发展前景的关键。下面我们来了解下IGO公司的基本情况。IGO于2000年成立,主要负责各种矿业勘探和开采,业务包括金、铜、镍、锂、锌、钴、银等,通过其上游采矿和下游加工生产,目标是在交通电气化,能源储存高效化和可再生能源发电领域成为行业霸主。公司拥有并经营位于西澳的Nova镍铜钴业务;并且与天齐锂业投资成立了一家专注于锂矿生产的合资企业,占股达到49%;并在Kwinana的下游加工精炼厂拥有100%的权益,生产电池级氢氧化锂。

IGO在2021财年的收入为9.19亿澳元,同比增长3%;指标性息税折旧前利润为4.75亿澳元,同比增长3%;税后净利润5.49亿澳元,同比增长254%。公司在2021财年的收入主要来自Nova和Tropicana项目,而Tropicana业务已于当期被剥离,其收入占公司21财年整体收入的26.7%。值得关注的是,公司的锂业务在2021财年还未产生收入,在不久的将来必将为IGO带来更客观的收入。Nova项目位于Fraser山脉,主要生产镍、钴和铜精矿。2021财年Nova项目的收入为6.688亿澳元,占公司整体收入的73.3%,其中镍收入4.728亿澳元,同比增长4.5%,占公司收入的51.8%; 铜收入1.165亿澳元,同比增长13.5%,占公司收入的12.8%; 钴收入2315万澳元,同比增长23.6%,占公司收入的2.5%; 银收入156万澳元,同比增长25.5%,占公司收入的0.2%。此外,在2022财年第二季度中,该部门的镍和钴产量都超过了预计的产量指导,分别生产了6,987吨镍和259吨钴。在Tropicana项目中,IGO占有金矿30%的权益,AngloGold Ashanti占有其余70%的权益,但Tropicana业务已被IGO于2021年5月出售。未来公司更专注的是锂项目。公司在与天齐锂业就其澳大利亚锂资产成立的合资企业中占有49%的权益,天齐锂业拥有其余51%的权益。其发展重点是位于西澳的现有上游和下游锂资产。从所有权分析,IGO拥有Greenbushes锂矿的间接24.99%权益,以及拥有和运营的Kwinana氢氧化锂精炼厂的49%权益。最后,如上文所述,IGO在矿业勘探和开发领域涉足相当广泛,公司其它勘探中的项目还包括Fraser山脉的镍铜钴项目;Paterson金、银、铜、钴项目;Kimberley镍、铜项目;Raptor镍铜项目;Frontier铜矿项目;Copper Coast的两个沉积型铜矿项目;Lake Mackay合资企业的权益;Broken Hill镍矿项目等。

我们不难看出当前IGO正在经历主营业务的过渡,这里重点说说其Greenbushes项目。公司在2021财年末的最后一天宣布了对天齐锂业股权的收购。该交易的完成标志着 IGO 从镍金生产商过渡到了镍锂生产商。在新的合资公司里天齐锂业拥有51%的股份, IGO 拥有49%的股份。合资公司的关键资产是世界级的Greenbushes硬岩矿的51%股份和Kwinana精炼厂100%股份。Greenbushes锂矿是一个大规模、长寿命、低成本的硬岩锂矿,位于西澳珀斯以南约250公里处。Greenbushes拥有全球所有硬岩锂矿中最高的矿石储备等级。而Kwinana是全球首批全自动电池级氢氧化锂设施之一,也是澳大利亚唯一建造的氢氧化锂工厂。Kwinana同样位于西澳珀斯以南约35公里处,距离Greenbushes仅200公里,毗邻主要的供应链物流。建成后的工厂将包括两套独立的生产设备,产能为每年4.8万吨优质电池级氢氧化锂。届时IGO的主营构成将从21财年的80%镍的20%金的比例变成22财年的74%镍、26%锂,以及25财年的49%镍、51%锂。更详细的股评报告,请联系小助手获取。免责声明:GO Markets分析师或外部发言人提供的信息基于其独立分析或个人经验。所表达的观点或交易风格仅代表其个人;并不代表GO Markets的观点或立场。联系方式:墨尔本 03 8658 0603悉尼 02 9188 0418中国地区(中文) 400 120 8537中国地区(英文) +248 4 671 903作者:Xavier Zhang | GO Markets 专业分析师
