Political
uncertainty ahead of the Presidential elections coupled with shaky Oil prices
have offered nothing but bad news to the Naira. With concerns over the Central
Bank of Nigeria’s ability to defend the Naira compounding downside pressures,
the local currency is seen witnessing further losses on the parallel markets.
Investors will be keeping a very close eye on the GDP figures scheduled for
release next week which should provide fresh insight into the health of the
largest economy in Africa. Sentiment towards the Nigerian economy could still
end the year on a positive note if GDP figures for Q3 dish out an upside
surprise.
A rough month
ahead for the Pound
Traders should
fasten their seat belts and prepare for a rough and rocky ride on the British
Pound ahead of Parliament’s vote on Brexit this month.
A strong sense
of pessimism over any deal Theresa May brings forward being rejected in
Parliament will continue to erode attraction towards the British Pound.
Although the Pound remains extremely sensitive to Brexit headlines, the
technical picture goes in line with the bearish fundamentals. Technical traders
will be keeping a very close eye on how the GBPUSD behaves above the 1.2700
support level. A breakdown below this important point will most likely pave a
clean path towards 1.2630 and 1.2600 in the near term. With prices trading
below the daily 20 SMA and the MACD pointing to further downside, bears remain
in firm control.
Commodity spotlight – Gold
The
market-friendly outcome to US-China trade discussions has clearly resulted in
Gold prices jumping to levels not seen in over three weeks.
However, the
driver behind Gold’s incredible appreciation is Dollar weakness. For as long as
the Dollar continues to weaken, Gold is seen trading higher. In regards to the
technical picture, the breakout above $1,230 could inspire a move higher
towards $1,240 and beyond.
Oil jumps as US-China trade tensions
ease, but for how long?
Oil bulls were
injected with a renewed sense of inspiration after the United States and China
put a pause on trade tensions.
This positive
development has revived risk sentiment and soothed fears over ongoing trade
disputes affecting global growth. With encouraging comments from President
Vladimir Putin on Russia Saudi cooperation on production cuts fuelling the
upside, WTI Oil and Brent Crude are likely to extend gains in the short term.
However, the fundamental drivers behind Oil’s sharp depreciation remain
present. Concerns over oversupply in the markets will present headwinds down
the road while any signs of renewed trade tensions could rekindle demand fears.
