市场资讯及洞察

Expected earnings date: Thursday, 4 February 2026 (US, after market close) / ~8:00 am, Friday, 5 February 2026 (AEDT)
Alphabet’s earnings provide insight into global digital advertising demand, enterprise cloud spending, and broader technology-sector investment trends.
As Google Search and YouTube are widely used by both consumers and businesses, results are often used as one input when assessing online activity and corporate marketing budgets, alongside other indicators.
Key areas in focus
Search
Search advertising remains Alphabet’s largest revenue driver. Markets are likely to focus on ad growth rates, pricing metrics such as cost-per-click, and overall advertiser demand across sectors such as retail, travel, and small-to-medium businesses.
YouTube
YouTube contributes to both advertising and subscription revenue. Markets commonly monitor advertising momentum, engagement trends, and monetisation developments as indicators of digital media conditions and brand spending.
Google Cloud
Sustained Cloud profitability is often discussed as a factor that may influence longer-term earnings expectations, though outcomes remain uncertain. Markets are expected to focus on revenue growth, enterprise adoption trends, and operating margins.
Other bets
Initiatives such as autonomous driving and life sciences, while typically smaller contributors to revenue, markets may still watch spending levels and progress updates as indicators of capital allocation and cost discipline.
Cost and margin framework
Management has previously flagged elevated capex tied to AI infrastructure, including data centres, specialised chips, and computing capacity. Traffic acquisition costs, staffing levels, and infrastructure expansion are also key variables influencing profitability.
What happened last quarter
Alphabet’s most recent quarterly update highlighted advertising trends, Cloud profitability, and continued increases in capex to support AI initiatives.
Management commentary has indicated that infrastructure spending is intended to support long-term competitiveness, while the market continues to assess the near-term margin trade-offs.
Last earnings key highlights
For reported figures and segment detail from the most recent quarter, refer to Alphabet’s latest earnings release materials, including revenue, earnings per share (EPS), Services mix, Cloud operating income, and capex commentary.
- Revenue: US$102.35 billion

What’s expected this quarter
Bloomberg consensus estimates moderate year-on-year (YoY) revenue growth and higher EPS versus the prior-year quarter, with ongoing focus on operating margins given AI-related investment.
Bloomberg consensus reference points:
- EPS: low-to-mid US$2 range
- Revenue: high US$80 billion to low US$90 billion range
- Capex: expected to remain elevated
*All above points observed as of 31 January 2026.
Market-implied expectations
Listed options implied an indicative expected move of around ±4% to ±6% over the relevant near-dated expiry window. Movements derived from option prices observed at 11:00 am AEDT, 2 February 2026.
These are market-implied estimates and may change. Actual post-earnings price moves can be larger or smaller.
What this means for Australian market participants
Alphabet’s earnings can influence near-term sentiment across major US equity indices, particularly Nasdaq-linked products, with potential spillover into the Asia session following the release.
Important risk note
Immediately after the US close and into the early Asia session, Nasdaq 100 (NDX) futures and related CFD pricing can reflect thinner liquidity, wider spreads, and sharper repricing around new information.
Such an environment can increase gap risk and execution uncertainty relative to regular-hours conditions.


上周道指下跌了2.99%,纳指下跌4.21%,标普下跌3.29%,三大股指周线连续第三周大阴线,7月下旬开始的一轮反弹行情已经全部回吐完毕。上周五的非农实际31.5略好于预期30,就业人口的增加数量又助涨了美联储加息预期,目前美股可谓风雨飘摇,暂时得不到消息面支撑了。舆论几乎是一边倒地推向利空,加上缩表从九月开始加倍,达到上限950亿美元每月,股市流动性越发受到打击。我们回顾历史,二战以来每年的9月是股市表现最差的一个月,平均跌幅居首,去年大牛市的时候9月纳指就下跌了超过5%,今年第一周已经是伤痕累累了。另外,回顾上周的国际消息,欧元区经济景气指数再次不及预期,德国CPI却高于预期直逼8%,欧元区8月CPI达到了9.1%,高于预期,其中能源和食品价格涨幅最大,消息公布后,9月欧洲央行加息75个基点的概率大增。加拿大公布的二季度GDP仅3.3,远不及预期4.4,消费和房地产市场走势疲软,市场信心急剧下跌。

上周2年期美债收益率升上3.5%位置创下15年来新高,这是美联储进一步缩紧货币政策造成的,加息预期增加,缩表翻倍,导致美债2年期收益率比10年期收益率高出30个基点,曲线显示倒挂幅度进一步加剧。本周一美股劳动节休市,周二澳联储利率决议,预期将加息50个基点达到2.35%,预计明年四五月份达到峰值3.85%左右。周三澳洲二季度GDP也将直接影响澳元走势,预测值3.8超过前值3.3,不过很可能GDP会不及预期。周三还将公布欧元区二季度GDP,预测3.9和前值一致,大概率实际公布值也是不会达到预期。

周三晚上加拿大央行也将公布利率决议,加息基点很难预测,因为上次加拿大直接加息100个基点超过预期,也是加元货币对的交易机会。周四美联储公布经济状况褐皮书,预计也是表达一番对目前政策的信心和对目前高通胀的担忧。而后日本将公布二季度GDP,预测2.9高于前值2.2,估计日本的实际数据更可能贴近预测值,日元的稳定性也将再次得到考验。目前欧洲能源危机越发严重,上周俄罗斯天然气公司宣布“北溪-1”天然气管道将完全停止输气,让本就面临“气荒“的欧洲各国前景堪忧,天然气价格预计还将持续走高,不仅会推高欧洲通胀,拖累欧洲经济,也会加剧欧洲民生的困局。本次完全断供是紧接着德国宣布自己的天然气存储即将达到满额,炫耀过后就吃到了当头一棒。

从数据分析推断,德国的满存储最多可以维持本国用气三个月,在没有找到天然气供应替代者之前,三个月明显不足以让德国全身而退。上周欧洲天然气价格曾一度出现暴跌,这是政策的影响导致的,刚刚德国宣布进行第三轮能源补助计划,将对国民投入650亿欧元的补助以缓解能源危机。但是这些举措从整个冬季来看显然仅能解当务之急而已,惠誉评级就预计俄断供天然气将导致欧洲经济下半年就进入衰退,令德国意大利等国GDP下半年就出现收缩,特别是对工业运营的影响,将使得相关行业陷入停顿,令欧洲经济雪上加霜。目前,欧洲储气已经实现80%填满,如果整个欧洲储气都处于百分百填满的状态,或许可以缓解一下能源危机,但随着俄罗斯急速切断供气源,欧洲目前最依赖的莫过于老天爷了,只期待这个冬天尽可能少出现极寒天气,给欧洲国家以更多的时间解决供气问题。

欧洲能源危机这么严重,那么欧洲可以采取哪些措施来应对呢?目前欧盟正在考虑采取各种措施干预能源市场。9月9日欧盟将召开能源部长特别会议讨论具体干预方案。其措施包括限制价格,减少电力需求,对能源企业征收暴利税等等。目前欧盟内部文件草案显示欧盟的初步想法是,采取一揽子措施降低需求,限制电力来源的收益,降低家庭和中小企业能源成本,考虑对能源企业超额利润征收暴利税。有分析指出,欧盟干预电力市场的计划的目的在于短期内压低飙升的电价,获取时间让天然气与电力价格脱钩,通过设置天然气价格上限等措施,类似于西班牙目前采取的设定发电用天然气价格上限,市场价超过上限部分政府进行补贴的办法去干预能源供应的价格,从而实现电力价格的回落。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

9月7号的苹果秋季发布会将要举行了,这次发布会也将是一场激动人心的发布会。

其中,这次发布会的标语“far out” 代表的含义是什么呢,外界都有着诸多的猜测。首先说一下,苹果公司在每年都会为自己的产品,服务和软件的发布举办多项的特别活动。对于一些新品,特别是跨时代的,独有的产品都会进行展出。所以,每次这样的发布会无疑是激动人心的,对于果粉来说,关注的都是新发布的产品,比如每代iPhone的发布,关注点就在有没有技术的革新,操作系统有没有进步,续航能力怎么样等等。那对于持有苹果股票,或者想要持有苹果股票的人来说,除了关注这些以外,也会很关注的就是新品的价格,应该说关注性价比更为合适。除了全球开发者大会外,其他的苹果活动都会在提前几周发出邀请,邀请人们在家观看。这次发布会将不会是完全线上的一个模式,被邀请的媒体和观众将在乔布斯礼堂现场观看发布的视频。值得一说的是,这次的9月7号发布新IPhone,将会是自疫情之后举办的最早的一次发布会。那么为什么这么早进行这次的新品发布会,其实各界也是猜测纷纷。

其中有个猜测我觉得很有可能,就是疫情的这些年,使得大家生活,工作,学习计划都改变了,很多东西就像是离经叛道一般,随着时间的一点点流逝,却没有像我们所想象的,逐渐回到正轨。在如今,我们也还没有完全摆脱疫情对我们带来的影响,随着政策,疫苗等等的出现,我们也似乎看到了希望,在逐渐地取消在家办公,让大家回归办公室。那么这次的发布会的一个提前,就好像希望大家可以更早的回归到正轨。而对于我个人而言,我更觉得这个主题像是向前看。过去的一切发生无法改变,希望大家可以向前看,找到疫情后时代的生活节奏,找到更好的“生存”下去的方法。那么配合上新主题“Far out”,从中可以大胆地进行预测,很多产品的功能就会像是一个超前的展示,一个未来可能大力推广的功能的试探。就像苹果之前M1,M1pro 笔记本Unified Memory(统一内存)的策略,也就是用的带宽很大的得内存(200G/s-400G/s),GPU可以在运行时,调动这个内存,相当于增加了几十个G显存,成为了视频创作者和3D项目创作的一大福音。在CPU,GPU调动高性能内存的方式下,未来苹果可能推出针对不同人群的的电脑。再比如说英伟达的光追,在20系列显卡提出,30系显卡进步,可预见的40系显卡对于光追将会是一个完善。最近这些年的科技产品,在我看来,或多或少都会推出一些“战未来”的功能和硬件。为的是在现阶段进行测试,让大众慢慢接受,在接下来几代中不断加强,完善这个功能或者是产品,直到某一代让大家完全体验到。这样做首先,可以在过程中不断修改,磨合,让人们不觉得那么突兀或者难以接受。其次,也可以在过程中得到更多的研发经费,也可以测试是否值得,是否真正有前景。但是我们突然间回过头去看,就会发现,不知觉中,我们已经越来越接近曾经幻想中,那些科幻电影中的科技水平了。说回到“Far out”,我也是很期待有一些跨时代的功能会出现。就好像19年推出的“豌豆射手”,苹果耳机airpods pro。跨时代的降噪功能实属惊艳,导致我现在还在使用它。虽然其中降噪模拟出的声音有一些不真实,但是已经让我感觉大为震撼。这次发布会,可能会有airpods pro 2 出现,期待值上升。

其中还有值得关注的产品就是新款的iPhone 14,新款iPhone 预计将包括配备新芯片的Pro 机型、无刘海屏、自动对焦自拍相机以及更高的价格,而低端iPhone 14 可能会采用更大的新尺寸。还有就是 新的Apple watch,新的Apple Watch Series 8可能会配备一个传感器,可以监测体温,Apple可能会推出更新的Apple Watch SE和期待已久的坚固耐用的Apple Watch 型号,可以承受恶劣的环境。

那么在发布会之后苹果的股价势必受到牵连,我们可以分析一下。如果说这次发布会的新产品功能跨越程度没有想象中那么大,再加上产品价格的一个上升,很有可能会导致其股价的下跌。原因是目前美元居高不下,如果再涨价,那么其他国家购买力度会大大下降,导致苹果的销售很有可能受到阻力。不管怎么样,对于这些战未来的科技产品,我仍然是处于一个很看好的态度,希望未来的科技,可以真正改变我们的生活。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:Neo Yuan | GO Markets 助理分析师

近来在美联储鹰派抬头,加上鲍威尔讲话强硬,全球主要货币对美元都出现不同程度的又一波贬值,人民币汇率也出现一波贬值,已经破了6.9大关,直逼7这个整数关口。那么当前人民币汇率贬值的原因和影响,这边会做一个比较和分析。

(1)人民币与其他主流货币对比首先人民币汇率贬值,是当前美元在加息预期下,自然出现的一个结果。而且,今年虽然人民币汇率对美元是贬值的,但对欧元、日元、韩元都是升值的。美元在加息预期下,上涨幅度不小,但人民币也算是除了美元之外的主要货币外表现比较好的,像卢布就比较特别。中国来看一下除了美元之外的欧元、人民币和日元。1、欧元欧元过去两年的汇率最低点是2022年8月23日创出的,只有0.9898;最高点是在2021年1月创出的,1欧元可以兑换1.2550美元。

最大贬值幅度在20%左右。由于欧洲受俄乌冲突的影响太大,叠加疫情,通膨和自然灾害等因素,欧洲可以说是屋漏偏逢连夜雨。但欧洲还不是最糟糕的,日元比欧元更不妙。2、日元日元最低点是是2022年8月31日创下的,美元兑日元为139.40;日元升值的最高点也是2021年1月6日创下的,美元兑日元为101.19日元。

日元贬值的最大贬值幅度在28%左右。日元的表现比欧元还糟糕,这其实也说明日本经济面临的问题,有可能比欧洲还更严重。要知道,欧洲经济情况非常不好,还存在这么严重的能源危机。假如日本经济问题比这个更严重的话,这说明日本过去这么多年践行安倍经济学理论,已经积累了十分严重的问题,而这个问题一旦引爆的话,有可能对日本经济和金融体系,造成巨大打击。汇率的表现,已经说明市场投资者认为,一旦爆发世界经济危机,日本表现可能会比欧洲更糟糕,目前日本仍然受疫情困扰。3、人民币人民币汇率最低点是在2022年8月29日,离岸人民币汇率为7.1973;最高点则是在2022年3月1日,离岸人民币汇率为6.2363。

人民币汇率贬值的最大贬值幅度是在10%左右。汇总一下,过去两年,世界主要货币大约的最大贬值幅度:日元最大贬值28%;欧元最大贬值20%;人民币最大贬值10%。

所以,中国如果横向对比的话,可以发现,人民币汇率在过去两年,已经算是世界主要货币里,除了美元之外,表现最好的货币了。这还是建立在,中国央行今年两次逆势下调MLF利率的情况下,没有跟随美联储激进加息,还能有这样的汇率表现,我认为已经属于十分罕见。近来在美元加息周期里,只要不跟随美联储加息,那么人民币汇率不可避免会有贬值预期。但从长远来看,人民币长期升值的趋势基本上还是确定的。预计美联储今年会把基准利率加到3.75-4%左右,但美国显然不可能长期维持如此高的利率,必然会在未来某个时间点,结束加息周期。否则2023年还不结束加息周期,那美国就会面临极大的债务压力,到时候美国每年光利息支出,估计都得上万亿美元了。总之,只要扛过这轮美联激进加息周期,那么在这轮加息周期里表现相对好的人民币,自然就会成为下一轮宽松周期里最有升值潜力的货币。(2)人民币汇率的关键位置中国现在外汇储备整体还是比较稳定的,不像2015年出现外汇储备大幅度下降的现象。尤其是中国强大的制造业打底,在控制疫情的基础上逆势的净出口攀升使得中国的外汇储备没有出现大的波动。但当前欧美等主要消费市场都出现经济衰退的风险,这也会给中国下半年外需和出口带来比较大的压力。2020年初的疫情,在中国经济遭到最严重创伤的时候,人民币汇率也没有跌破7.2大关,最多就是贬值到7.196。所以,只要汇率不贬值破7.2,外汇储备不低于2.5万亿美元,中国整体金融风险就会在可控范围之内。但只要跌破7.2,说明有一些比较严重的风险出现,有可能出现一些中国比较难预料的地缘风险、金融风险,才会导致汇率破7.2。人民币在过去10年里,有两个重要关口,一个是6.84,一个是7.2。6.84是整个2009年的横盘期,有一个心理影响效应。

所以,今年汇率贬值,也是在今年5月份,一度接近6.84后,就出现长达3个月的横盘震荡,一直到最近跌破6.84后,才一路贬值逼近7大关。所以,单纯从技术面来说,只要人民币汇率跌破6.84这个关口,那么后面如果贬值破7,我认为也是很正常的。关键就是看接下来7.2这个最重要的关口,能不能守住。就像上面说的,这是2008年以来,从未被突破的关口。2019年贸易战最严重的时候,也只贬值到7.196。2020年初疫情最严重的时候,也只贬值到7.195。所以,除非出现比这两个更极端的事件,人民币汇率才有可能贬值破7.2。当然,这个更严重的事态,不但包括一些地缘冲突风险,也包括一些金融博弈风险,这个金融博弈风险,也包括美联储更激进的加息。比如,要是美联储利率来到4%利率,那如果中国还继续保持不加息的话,人民币汇率破7.2,也是很有可能的事情。所以,当前汇率的运行,很大程度是取决于美联储激进加息的步伐,估计央行也会开始有一些动作去稳汇率。总的来说,虽然中国当前经济的确存在不少问题和风险,但世界主要经济体里,当前G7国家所面临的问题,比中国也更严重。所以,在当前这个形势里,更多还是比谁更有韧性和动员力。只要熬过这轮疫情、美元加息周期和经济、能源危机,自然可以在下一轮经济复苏周期里,抢占最有利的重新向上发展的战略位置。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 903Jason Zhang | GO Markets 专业分析师


最近能源价格又开始了新一轮的抬头,美国原油价格从之前较低的86美元/桶来到了现在的97附近,天然气价格在上周也是触及了10美元的高位。近期比较大的一个基本面变动就是,从今天起俄罗斯将中断“北溪1号”天然气管道3天,目前,“北溪1号”的天然气输送量仅为满负荷时的20%。目前欧洲的天然气价格以及电价也上涨到了惊人的水平,目前大概比俄乌战争前要高出10倍以上。并且很多能源投资公司的内部人士表示“欧洲可能需要数年的时间才能建成足够的基础设施,才能使天然气价格大幅回落,在明年很长一段时间内,天然气价格仍将很高”。

就如同疫情期间各国由于需求减少,原油价格暴跌等因素,大幅减少了对油田设置的修缮和建设,导致原油供应提高速度无法与疫情后快速增长的需求所匹配,导致油价的快速拉升,天然气也是同样的道理,所以我个人认为在俄罗斯限制天然气供应的背景下,在全球加足马力建设天然气设施的情况下,天然气价格在未来半年的时间内仍会维持在高位震荡的走势。其实不光是欧洲,就连日本也开始未雨绸缪,寻找天然气的替代来源。目前对天然气价格来说,最大的两个变数就是俄罗斯到底会不会完全切断对欧洲的天然气供应,以及今年冬天有多冷。

原油方面,近期沙特频频传出要减产的声音,这主要受两方面因素的影响,一方面就是美国以及其盟国频频释放战略储备试图打压油价;另一方面,是近期的伊核协议谈判。伊核协议对于原油价格的影响更大一些,甚至有可能会影响到原本计划在九月实施的增产计划。上周,美国原油的价格最低触及86附近,并且美国和伊朗的谈判进展很快,该协议对于原油市场最大的影响就是会使伊朗的原油进入国际市场,从沙特以及欧佩克+的角度,是绝对不希望伊朗的原油流入市场的,因为从目前放出的消息来看,如果伊核协议通过,那么伊朗每日所能提供的原油大概在150万桶/日,约占整个欧佩克+日供应量的5%。并且从历史来看,伊朗进入市场后会疯狂开采,扰乱市场,这也是为什么沙特不惜以减产来威胁美国也不想让伊朗进入市场的原因。

近期比较热点的事件就是鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔央行年会上的发言,由于其及其鹰派的言论,美股暴跌,美元再次突破前高,在说行情前,我们先简单回顾一下鲍威尔讲话的重点。首先就是对于通胀,一定要将其控制在2%,,并且在这个加息过程中会有一定的阵痛,但是相比较长期的痛苦来说,美联储还是会选择短期。其次是利率会继续升高,物价的稳定对经济的平稳运行十分重要,并且也是美联储致力要做到的。为了达成这些目标,鲍威尔表示一个不寻常的较大的加息可能会在下次议息会议上出现,具体加息的力度如何还是要根据9月的各项数据来决定。一个月的CPI下降不能说明之后的通胀会稳步下降,美联储并不是非常乐观。总之就是目前加息还不能停止。

杰克逊霍尔央行年会每年只有一次,往往会议上的发言就是各个央行对未来较长一段时间的宏观看法,所以,根据鲍威尔的言论,我个人觉得对于美元来说,起码在整个加息周期当中还是继续看多的,包括技术面上,美元依旧处于上行通道,短期来看,可能会随着情绪的回落美元也出现回落,但是中长线还是比较看好的,当然也要结合即将到来的9月份的美联储议息会议的结果。另外配合着我们的加息日历,本月有澳,美,日,加,英以及欧洲的利率决议陆续公布,这个配合着短线都是很不错的机会。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

Have you ever heard the saying, “70% of trading is in the head”? This is because the markets are mostly moved with sentiment, a good barometer to gauge is the Fear and Greed index, emotions trigger actions, there is a reason why there are sellers and buyers in the market at the same time, yes it can be attributed to the way people take in information or understand the data, in a normal day, there are always winners, as there are always losers. So, with that in mind you might understand that this information or data is truly important to traders as it impacts heavily on the markets, as such that, as a trader it would be irresponsible for you to focus solely on the Technical Analysis and disregard the Fundamentals.
However, you could be able to trade Fundamentals without the Technical Analysis. What is Fundamental News? The best way to answer this, is by acknowledging that the performance of an economy is a direct result of different political, social and economic outcomes.
These could differ from the release of figures of the unemployment rate to interest rates, from elections to the GDP, to geopolitical events such as the invasion of Ukraine to a countries coup or BREXIT. All of these have profound effects on the price of commodities, currencies, bonds, or securities, as it would either make the asset easily accessible or as in recent times with COVID it makes is harder to supply it when there is huge demands. Investors are always on the lookout for small details that would help them decipher if their investments are in sound condition or if they need to do something to avoid losing their positions.
Typically, if you are trading CFDs you would look to an Economic Calendar – It’s just like a standard calendar, which provides timelines of specific reports and/or meetings which will take place in the future, from various countries around the world. You could see one here at Forex Factory. A great tool which will aid traders to set up their trades in advance or allow them to make a decision to see if it would be wise to keep a trade open during the event, or open a trade before or wait until the fact to enter the market.
As you begin to follow economic announcements, you may understand why some events—like the consumer price index—may cause markets to move. But you may wonder why it’s important to follow lesser events, like the food price index. Usually, a major event provides an indication of the state of the economy.
But traders follow lesser events because they provide an indication of upcoming major announcements. For example, a jump in food prices may mean the consumer price index will jump as well. An example of an economic calendar is below.
Fundamental Analysis consists of the trader keeping track of all these factors within the reports and how they have affected the market. Fundamental analysis can also cover broader aspects of trading depending on the asset in question. The various fundamental factors can be grouped into two categories: quantitative and qualitative.
The financial meaning of these terms isn't much different from their standard definitions. Here is how a dictionary defines the terms: Quantitative – "related to information that can be shown in numbers and amounts." Qualitative – "relating to the nature or standard of something, rather than to its quantity." In this context, quantitative fundamentals are hard numbers. They are the measurable characteristics of a business.
That's why the biggest source of quantitative data is financial statements. Revenue, profit, cash flow, assets, wages and more can be measured with great precision. Fundamental Trading can be done in various ways depending on your availability – some reports are released late in the night or early morning depending on your perspective, which mean, you may be asleep so trading these may require a level of organisation from your part in terms of understanding how to set up pending orders, with the right risk management in place to take you out of the trade whether it has reached your desired profit limit or the amount you’d be happy to risk losing or trade the action live as you see the reaction of the price movement.
All In all Fundamental news, analysis and trading are a major facet of trading, it is also right to mention, that some fundamental traders would incorporate technical analysis from time to time to create stronger affirmations in their research.

With central banks aggressively hiking interest rates to combat inflation, one specific country stands alone in maintaining a dovish stance. The country is Japan, and the consequence of the Central Bank of Japan’s ultra-dovish policy has been a massive weakening of its currency. Against almost all other currencies the JPY has been depreciating aggressively.
Specifically, the USD/JPY and the NZD/JPY are shaping as potentially trading opportunities. Both trading opportunities are largely based on a technical breakout as opposed to a pure fundamental breakout. NZD/JPY This currency pair is forming into a symmetrical triangle pattern.
Importantly the price has been contracting and the range getting smaller. This shows that the price is reaching an equilibrium point between buyers and sellers. However, at some point and the price will not be able to contract further and will have to break out either to the upside or the downside.
The general rule of a symmetrical triangle is to wait until the price breaks before taking a position because the price has not indicated if it will break upward or downward. In addition, the RSI indicates a similar pattern showing consolidation in the same type of triangle. Therefore, a break of this RSI triangle may correlate and support a break out on the actual price.
USD/JPY This pair has seen an even more extreme move upward. After pulling back to the recent support at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, the price has risen again and is looking to test the highs at 139.5 JPY. In order to find a new target the chat needs to be zoomed out to the monthly in order to see the next resistance point which is at 145JPY.
This would also take the price to almost 25 year highs. With more economic data to come out of the USA later this week.
