๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUS500 โ€“ All Eyes on the Fed Today

The broader U.S. market is holding steady ahead of the Fed decision.
Unlike the tech-heavy NAS100, the US500 captures banks, energy, healthcare, industrials and more โ€” meaning the reaction could be more balanced across sectors.

A softer Fed tone โ†’ usually lifts most sectors.
A tougher Fed tone โ†’ tends to pressure the entire index.

๐Ÿ“ŠWhat to Expect

No rate hike is expected.
The big driver = Fed outlook for 2026 and beyond.

๐Ÿ”ฅPOTENTIAL OUTCOMES

Neutral:
No change + โ€œWeโ€™ll see how incoming data evolves.โ€
โ†’ US500 may stay range-bound.

Dovish:
โ€œWe expect more cuts next year.โ€
โ†’ US500 could grind higher toward fresh highs.

Hawkish:
โ€œInflation hasnโ€™t eased enough.โ€
โ†’ US500 may slip modestly as yields rise.

๐Ÿ“ˆKEY LEVELS
Support: 50-day MA
Resistance: 6,929 (all-time high)
๐Ÿ“ˆNAS100 โ€“ Fed Decision Could Set the Next Big Move

Tech stocks have been resilient, but the NAS100 reacts fast to changes in interest-rate expectations.
If the Fed signals easier policy ahead โ†’ bullish for tech.
If the Fed sounds cautious or inflation-focused โ†’ yields may rise, pressuring the index.

๐Ÿ“†What to Expect Today

The Fed is widely expected to hold rates steady.
The real market driver will be:
โ€ข The tone of the press conference
โ€ข Updated rate projections

๐Ÿ”นDovish Fed โ†’ NAS100 bullish
๐Ÿ”นHawkish Fed โ†’ NAS100 bearish

๐Ÿ”ฅPOTENTIAL OUTCOMES

Neutral:
โ€œWeโ€™re waiting for more data.โ€
โ†’ NAS100 likely stays range-bound.

Dovish:
โ€œMore cuts are likely next year.โ€
โ†’ NAS100 may push higher toward new highs.

Hawkish:
โ€œInflation remains a concern.โ€
โ†’ NAS100 may pull back as yields firm.

๐Ÿ“ŠKEY LEVELS
Support: 50-day MA
Resistance: 26,289 (all-time high)
USDCAD: Fedโ€“BoC Showdown Puts the Loonie in Play

The Canadian dollar has firmed in recent sessions, helped by rising oil prices and steady domestic data, keeping USD/CAD under pressure.
Now, both the Fed and the Bank of Canada deliver rate decisions on the same day โ€” a rare double-event that could ignite major volatility.

The USD remains highly sensitive to Fed guidance, while CAD will respond to both BoC policy signals and broader risk sentiment.

๐Ÿ“†When?

Bank of Canada Decision: Wed, Dec 10 @ 14:45 GMT
Federal Reserve Decision & Projections: Wed, Dec 10 @ 19:00 GMT / 23:00 GST

๐Ÿ“ŠMarket Expectations

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธFederal Reserve
โ€ข 25 bp cut expected โ†’ new range 3.50%โ€“3.75%
โ€ข Probability: mid-to-high 90%

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆBank of Canada
โ€ข Expected to hold at 2.25%
โ€ข Probability of no change: ~90โ€“93%, reflecting steady inflation (2.5%) and resilient growth

๐Ÿ“ˆUSDCAD expected move:
+0.1% / โ€“0.2% within 6 hours of the BoC announcement.

๐Ÿ”ฅWHAT COULD MOVE USD/CAD?

CAD Bullish Scenario:
A dovish Fed (hinting at deeper 2026 cuts) + a steady or firm BoC stance โ†’ USD weakens, CAD strengthens.
โ†’ USD/CAD could fall 0.5%โ€“1.2%

CAD Bearish Scenario:
A hawkish Fed (fewer cuts, inflation concerns) + a dovish BoC โ†’ USD strengthens.
โ†’ USD/CAD could rise 0.5%โ€“1.0%

Neutral Scenario:
Fed + BoC outcomes align with expectations โ†’ USD/CAD stays range-bound within 0.3%โ€“0.6%

๐Ÿ“ŠPOTENTIAL SCENARIOS (Technical Outlook)

BULLISH for CAD (USD/CAD lower):
โ€ข Fed turns clearly dovish
โ€ข USD/CAD may test the Sept 17 swing low at 1.37263
โ€ข A break below opens the path to June 16 low at 1.35397

BEARISH for CAD (USD/CAD higher):
โ€ข Hawkish Fed or softer BoC tone
โ€ข USD/CAD could climb above the 200-day SMA (1.3906)
โ€ข Momentum may extend toward 1.4000 (50-day SMA)
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUS500 โ€“ Markets Hold Their Breath Ahead of the Fed

The US500 has been moving sideways as traders await Wednesdayโ€™s Fed rate decision, one of the last major catalysts of 2025.
A dovish outcome is almost fully priced in, but the real market driver will be Powellโ€™s guidance for 2026.

According to Bloomberg, markets assign a 99% probability of a 25 bp cut as inflation cools and the labour market softensโ€”without collapsing.

๐Ÿ“†When?
Fed Decision & Projections: Wed, Dec 10@ 19:00 GMT / 23:00 GST

๐Ÿ“‰Expected:
Cut of 25 bps, lowering the target range to 3.50%โ€“3.75%

๐Ÿ“ˆ US500 expected move: +1.3% / โ€“1.3% in the 6 hours post-decision.

๐Ÿ”ฅWHAT COULD MOVE US500?

BULLISH SCENARIO:
Fed cuts rates and signals more easing in 2026 โ†’ risk appetite surges.
US500 could gain 2โ€“4%, breaking to new all-time highs and pushing beyond the 7000 psychological level.

NEUTRAL SCENARIO:
Fed cuts as expected but offers cautious guidanceโ€”hinting at a possible pause early 2026.
US500 may trade sideways within a 1โ€“2% range, consolidating recent gains.

BEARISH SCENARIO:
A hawkish surprise (rate hold or fewer future cuts) โ†’ volatility spikes.
US500 may drop 2โ€“5%, falling below its 21- and 50-day MAs, and potentially revisiting the October 10 price-gap around 6512.5.
๐Ÿ’ธFXTMโ€™s AU200 โ€“ RBA RATE DECISION

DID YOU KNOWโ€ฆ
FXTMโ€™s AU200 is hovering near a breakout zone, with support at 8560 and resistance at 8650.
(AU200 tracks the S&P/ASX 200 โ€” Australiaโ€™s top 200 listed companies.)

๐Ÿ”ฅWHAT COULD MOVE AU200 THIS WEEK?

๐Ÿ“†Tuesday, 9 Dec โ€“ RBA Rate Decision (03:30 GMT)
The RBA is widely expected to hold rates at 3.6%, but traders will be hunting for clues on whether cuts may arrive in early 2026.

๐Ÿ“ˆ AU200 expected move: +0.4% / โ€“0.7% in the 6 hours post-announcement.

Traders currently price a 0% chance of a December rate cut.
Beyond Tuesday, Thursdayโ€™s employment data could add another layer of volatility.

๐Ÿ“ŠPOTENTIAL SCENARIOS

BULLISH:
If the RBA hints at a rate cut in Q1 2026, AU200 may break above 8650, eyeing the next psychological zone near the 50-day SMA around 8800.

BEARISH:
If the RBA signals no rush to ease policy in 2026, AU200 may slip below 8560, exposing the 200-day SMA at 8520, and potentially 8400.
๐Ÿฅ‡XAUUSD: GOLD ON BREAKOUT WATCH

DID YOU KNOWโ€ฆ
This weekโ€™s Fed decision could set the tone for the entire gold market as we move deeper into December.
XAUUSD remains trapped inside a tight range, with support at $4165 and resistance at $4240.

๐Ÿ”ฅTHE LOWDOWN

The Fed is widely expected to cut rates by 25bps on Wednesday.
But the real market movers will be:
โ€ข Updated economic projections
โ€ข The new dot plot
โ€ข Powellโ€™s press conference

A subtle shift in tone could be enough to jolt gold sharply in either direction.

๐Ÿ“‰POTENTIAL IMPACT

Dovish tilt:
โ†’ Weaker dollar
โ†’ Gold & silver may push higher

Hawkish tilt:
โ†’ Stronger dollar
โ†’ Gold may face headwinds

๐ŸŒOTHER FORCES AT PLAY

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆUkraine peace talks
Trump signaled Zelenskyy is not ready to accept the U.S.-backed proposal.
Renewed geopolitical uncertainty could keep demand for safe havens elevated.

๐ŸฆCentral bank gold buying
China increased its gold reserves for the 13th straight month, reinforcing long-term demand.

๐Ÿ“Œ Traders currently price a 92% chance of a December Fed cut.

๐Ÿ“ŠPOTENTIAL SCENARIOS

BULLISH:
A breakout above $4240 could fuel a rally toward $4300 and $4308.71 (Bloomberg FX model upper limit).

BEARISH:
A drop below $4200 opens the path toward $4165 and $4118.41 (model lower limit).

๐Ÿ’ตUSDCAD: U.S. JOBLESS CLAIMS & CANADA IVEY PMI (Thu, Dec 4)

USDCAD is holding steady this week as traders brace for a two-part data combo:
โ€ข U.S. Initial Jobless Claims
โ€ข Canadaโ€™s Ivey PMI (seasonally adjusted)

The U.S. labor market remains firm with claims near 216K, while Canadaโ€™s latest Ivey PMI at 52.4 signals softer-but-still-expanding business activity.

Both prints on Thursday could spark fresh volatility.

๐Ÿ“†When?
Thu, Dec 4 @ 13:30 GMT โ€“ U.S. Jobless Claims
Thu, Dec 4 @ 15:00 GMT โ€“ Canada Ivey PMI (s.a.)

๐Ÿ“ŠExpectations:
โ€ข U.S. Claims: ~220K
โ€ข Canada Ivey PMI: ~52โ€“53

๐Ÿ”ฅWHAT COULD MOVE USDCAD?

๐Ÿ“‰CAD Strength (USDCAD lower):
โ€ข Higher U.S. claims (โ‰ฅ230K) โ†’ cooling labor โ†’ softer USD
โ€ข AND a strong Canada PMI (โ‰ฅ55) โ†’ stronger CAD

๐Ÿ“ˆUSD Strength (USDCAD higher):
โ€ข Lower U.S. claims (โ‰ค215K) โ†’ solid labor โ†’ firmer USD
โ€ข AND a weak Canada PMI (โ‰ค50) โ†’ softer CAD

โš–๏ธRange-Bound:
โ€ข Claims ~220K + PMI ~52โ€“53 โ†’ neutral outcome

๐Ÿ“ˆNAS100: U.S. INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS (Thu, Dec 4)

Initial jobless claims remain one of the most closely watched weekly indicators as markets fine-tune expectations for the Fedโ€™s next moves.

The latest print came in around 216K, slightly below last weekโ€™s 222K, and consensus sees this week near 220K.

For the NAS100, the logic is simple:
Cooling labor โ†’ more rate-cut bets โ†’ tech supported.
Stronger labor โ†’ fewer cuts โ†’ yields rise โ†’ tech pressured.

๐Ÿ“†When?
Thu, Dec 4 @ 13:30 GMT

๐Ÿ“ŠExpected: ~220K

๐Ÿ”ฅWHAT COULD MOVE NAS100?

๐Ÿ“‰Claims lower than expected (โ‰ค215K)

๐Ÿ›ขWTI: EIA CRUDE OIL STOCKS ON THE RADAR

WTI is trading in the $57โ€“59 range after last weekโ€™s surprise +2.77M barrel build in U.S. crude inventories โ€” a jump that caught many traders off guard.

With oversupply concerns simmering, todayโ€™s EIA report could be a key catalyst for the next move in oil.

๐Ÿ“†When?
Wed, Dec 3 @ 15:30 GMT

๐Ÿ“ŠMarket Expectation:
A modest change โ€” either a small draw or a small build โ€” after last weekโ€™s larger increase.

๐Ÿ”ฅWHAT COULD MOVE WTI?

๐Ÿ“ˆBig Draw (โ‰ฅ โ€“3M barrels)
โ†’ Signals tightening supply
โ†’ Could lift WTI back toward $59โ€“60+

โš–๏ธModest Change
โ†’ Small draw/build likely keeps WTI locked in the $57โ€“59 range

๐Ÿ“‰Big Build (โ‰ฅ +3M barrels)
โ†’ Reinforces oversupply fears
โ†’ Could pressure WTI toward $56โ€“57

๐Ÿ“ŠKEY LEVELS (WTI)

๐Ÿ’ตUSDInd: ISM SERVICES PMI IN FOCUS

The Dollar Index has slipped toward 99.3โ€“99.5 after last weekโ€™s run-up, as markets lean more confidently toward 2025 rate-cut expectations.
Todayโ€™s ISMServices PMI could be the next big catalyst for USD direction.

The previous reading (Oct) came in at 52.4, signalling modest expansion in the U.S. services sector โ€” still healthy even as manufacturing lags.

๐Ÿ“†When?
Wed, Dec 3 @ 15:00 GMT

๐Ÿงฎ Expected: ~52.1 (slightly softer than last month)

๐Ÿ”ฅWHAT COULD MOVE THE DOLLAR?

๐Ÿ“ˆStronger-than-expected PMI (โ‰ฅ53.0)

โ†’ Boosts the USD, pushing USDInd toward resistance

โš–๏ธ In-line PMI (~52.1)

๐Ÿ“‰Weaker PMI (โ‰ค51.0)

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ USDCHF โ€“ Swiss Franc Edges Into Data Crosswinds

The Swiss franc heads into Wednesdayโ€™s session at a sensitive moment as Switzerlandโ€™s CPI and the U.S. ISM Services PMI hit on the same day โ€” a combo that could inject sharp volatility into USDCHF.

Swiss inflation has been near zero for months, raising questions about how long the SNB can tolerate ultra-subdued price growth. Meanwhile, the U.S. services sector remains a key gauge of economic momentum.

๐Ÿ“†Key Events โ€“ Wed, Dec 3

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ Switzerland CPI (07:30 GMT / 11:30 GST)
โ€ข Expected YoY: 0.1%
โ€ข Expected MoM: โ€“0.1%

โ€ข (See AUDUSD post โ€” consensus: ~52.1)
๐Ÿ“ˆ USDCHF expected move: ยฑ0.2%

๐Ÿ”ฅWHAT COULD MOVE USDCHF?

USDCHF sits inside a multi-month symmetrical triangle, hovering just above the 21-day MA โ€” meaning even small data surprises could break the structure.

๐Ÿ“ŠPOTENTIAL SCENARIOS

๐ŸŸขBULLISH USDCHF (USD higher / CHF weaker):
โ€ข Swiss CPI comes in softer or negative (โ‰ค0.0%)
โ€ข AND/OR U.S. ISM Services beats (โ‰ฅ53.0)
โ†’ Traders lean into dovish SNB bets + stronger USD demand.
๐Ÿ“ Upside targets: 0.81019 (trendline resistance)
Above that: 0.81710 (Aug 1 swing high, near 200-day MA)

๐Ÿ”ดBEARISH USDCHF (USD lower / CHF stronger):
โ€ข Swiss CPI hotter (โ‰ฅ0.3%)
โ€ข AND/OR U.S. ISM Services misses (<51.5)
โ†’ SNB easing expectations fade while USD softens.

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บAUDUSD โ€“ Aussie Braces for a Two-Punch Data Test

The Aussie faces a high-volatility doubleheader on Wednesday as traders gear up for Australiaโ€™s Q3 GDP and the U.S. ISM Services PMI โ€” two releases that could shake AUDUSD sharply.

๐Ÿ“†When?

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บAustralia Q3 GDP
๐Ÿ“† Wed, Dec 3
โฐ 00:30 GMT / 04:30 GST
โ€ข Expected QoQ: 0.7%

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธISM Services PMI (US)

โฐ 15:00 GMT / 19:00 GST
โ€ข Consensus: 52.1
๐Ÿ“ˆ AUDUSD expected move: +0.3% / โ€“0.4%

๐Ÿ”ฅWHAT COULD MOVE AUDUSD?

A stronger-than-expected Australian GDP would signal resilient growth โ€” boosting the Aussie.
A weaker print, combined with firmer U.S. services data, may reinforce USD strength and pressure AUDUSD lower.

Tariff uncertainty and cooling labour momentum are also in focus as traders reassess both economies.

๐Ÿ“ŠPOTENTIAL SCENARIOS

๐ŸŸขBULLISH AUDUSD:
A strong Australia GDP + softer U.S. services data could lift the pair above the falling wedge structure, targeting the major descending trendline from March 2021 at 0.66615.

๐Ÿ”ดBEARISH AUDUSD:
Soft GDP and/or a firm U.S. ISM print may drag AUDUSD toward the 50-day MA (0.65289) and 21-day MA (0.65150).
A close below these opens the door toward the 200-day MA at 0.64640.
