Market Participants May Be on Guard Amid Overlapping Economic Indicator Releases During U.S. Trading Hours

Market Report

Market Participants May Be on Guard Amid Overlapping Economic Data Releases During U.S. Trading Hours

15.06.2021

Today's Highlights
  1. U.S. Retail Sales
  2. UK Employment Statistics

Yesterday, stock prices in both European and U.S. markets were mixed, resulting in a market characterized by flat stock prices, flat commodity prices, and rising interest rates. Gold, which had plummeted alongside the rise in the U.S. dollar, recovered to half of its losses and is currently trading around $1,862.The fear index (VIX) rose slightly to 16.39.

In the foreign exchange market, the pound is regaining momentum, and the GBP/JPY pair is currently attempting to rise, trading around 155.37.From a technical perspective, the pair has already broken above the downtrend line on the 4-hour chart, and depending on the results of today’s UK employment report, a further rise is possible. However, the UK has just decided to extend the lockdown—which was scheduled to end on the 21st of this month—by four weeks, and the situation regarding the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic remains far from certain.

Today, the UK Employment Report and the German Consumer Price Index will be released at 3:00 p.m., the French Consumer Price Index (final reading) at 3:45 p.m., the Eurozone Trade Balance at 6:00 p.m., and U.S. Retail Sales at 9:30 p.m. (U.S. time),the New York Fed Manufacturing Index and the U.S. Producer Price Index, at 21:30 U.S. time; Canadian existing home sales at 22:00; U.S. industrial production and the U.S. capacity utilization rate at 22:15; and U.S. business inventories and the NAHB Housing Market Index at 23:00.I’ll be watching closely to see if today’s economic data releases bring about any changes in the market trend.
