Should We Watch for Price Movements During U.S. Trading Hours in the Middle of the Last Week of December?

Market Report

Should We Keep an Eye on Price Movements During U.S. Trading Hours in the Middle of the Last Week of December?

29.12.2021

Today's Highlights
  1. U.S. Existing-Home Sales Pending
  2. U.S. Wholesale Inventories (Preliminary Figures)

Yesterday, the three major U.S. stock indices posted mixed results, with the Nasdaq falling for the first time in five trading days. It closed at 15,781 points, down 0.56% from the previous day.Following the previous day’s decline in U.S. stocks, the Nikkei 225 also fell by about 0.89% to the 28,800-yen level. The fear index (VIX) rose slightly to 17.5.

In the foreign exchange market, the Dollar Index is trading sideways around 96.1, and the U.S. dollar has not shown significant movement against the pound; the GBP/USD pair is trading within a range of 1.341 to 1.346.Looking at the 4-hour chart, GBP/USD is trending higher, supported on the downside by the 20-period moving average (MA); however, since the RSI is trading near 70—in overbought territory—we should be wary of a pullback following a correction.

No economic indicators or remarks by key officials are scheduled for today during European trading hours. Once U.S. trading begins, U.S. wholesale inventories (flash estimate) are scheduled for 22:30,pending sales of existing homes at 24:00, weekly crude oil inventories at 24:30, and a 7-year Treasury auction at 27:00. As liquidity tends to decline toward the end of the year, we will carefully monitor the foreign exchange market to see if any sudden price movements occur before the new year.
