Weekly GBP/USD Outlook: 2017, November 12 - November 19 (based on the article)

GBP/USD was looking for a new direction after that dovish hike from the BoE and as Brexit talks are trying to get out of the ditch. The upcoming week features three top-tier publications: inflation, jobs, and retail sales. 


  1. Inflation report: Tuesday, 9:30. The weakness of the British pound following the EU Referendum last year is the main contributor to higher prices.
  2. Jobs report: Wednesday, 9:30. Weak wages will probably take center-stage once again.
  3. CB Leading Index: Wednesday, 14:30. A drop of 0.1% was reported in August. We will now receive the data for September.
  4. Retail sales: Thursday, 9:30. After three upbeat months, the volume of sales slipped by 0.8% in September, causing a slide in the pound. Are consumers becoming more sensitive to higher prices? The updated data for October also feeds into Q4 GDP.
 
Nvidia Is Still A Better Buy (based on the article)

Shares price is on bullish breakout since the August 2015: the price is breaking resistance level at 218.64 to above for the bullish trend to be continuing.


  • "Nvidia’s stock is still a better buy than AMD, though its stock is up 140% over the last twelve months compared to 32% of AMD. There are a couple of reasons for that. One of them is that Nvidia’s operation margins continue to swell to 31.46%, up from 29.90% six months ago. Meanwhile, AMD’s operating margins continue to be in negative territory, hovering in the 6.50-8.00% range—see table. Another reason is revenue growth. Nvidia’s revenues grew 56.0% in the most recent quarter, while AMD’s by 19%."
  • "While past performance isn’t a guarantee for future performance, as the old Wall Street proverb goes, being smart is what makes the difference between winning and losing technology companies in the long-term."

GBP/USD - bullish ranging within narrow levels for direction (based on the article)

Daily price is above 200 SMA to be on ranging near and below 55 SMA: the price is within 1.3039/1.3229 s/r levels for the bullish trend to be resumed or for the correction to the bearish reversal to be started.


  • "Since bottoming on October 6, GBP/USD has gone into a range with a small handful of powerful days, but nothing which led to follow-through. During this period one-week and one-month implied volatility declined to 6.32% and 6.72%, respectively. Since last week it has been on the rise, with current levels of 8.75% (1-wk) and 7.99% (1-mo). Not only have expectations for price movement in cable risen strongly in recent sessions, it also tops the board of major USD-pairs."
  • "The projected one-week one-standard deviation range is 12916-13232. Let’s take a look at how these levels align with the current technical landscape. First off, the range is running on borrowed time, which means a break is likely coming soon. With cable not finding much lift around a pair of trend-lines (March-current, lower parallel – April-current) and the October low it is becoming increasingly likely the break will come to the downside. Should we see a sell-off commence it would also be in-line with the trend off the 9/20 spike-day high which came at a confluence of the gap following ‘Brexit’ and a trend-line running down from July 2014 over the ‘Brexit’ day high."
  • "The projected one-week low is 12916, which isn’t far from the 200-day MA currently at 12872. But the next level of price support doesn’t arrive until under 12800. With that in mind, a breakdown may lead to price expansion and even higher levels of implied volatility. On the top-side, coupling trend direction prior to the multi-week range with overhead levels and the trend-line off the September high, it looks less likely we will see a strong move higher in cable."

USD/JPY - daily bullish ranging; 114.73 is the key (based on the article)

  • "The Bank of Japan is committed to “powerful monetary easing” in the oft-spoken words of its Governor, Haruhiko Kuroda, until annualized consumer price inflation tops 2%. Well, it’s now at 0.7% and holding so that easing could yet be with us for years. Meanwhile the US Federal Reserve has raised its own interest rates from their post-crisis depths. It’s still expected to do so once again in December and to continue the process in 2018 if the economics permit, albeit gradually."
  • "This thesis has seenUSD/JPYrise very sharply since early September but, tellingly, the Dollar remains unable to convincingly top the last two notable highs."
