What are the technicals telling traders?"},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">The USD is mixed to start the new trading day with the NZD<br \/>\n    vs the USD as the biggest mover at the greenback -0.42% on the day. Meanwhile<br \/>\n    the USD is higher by 0.24% vs the JPY as buyers in the USDJPY return after the<br \/>\n    decline on Friday. The USD is lower vs the EUR (-0.13%) and higher vs the GBP<br \/>\n    (+0.10%) as the markets deal with the shifting winds of war, and it&#8217;s<br \/>\n    implications. IN the video above, I take a look at the 3 major currency pairs<br \/>\n    to kickstart the North American session for the day and the trading week. The<br \/>\n    key events this week?\u00a0 US CPI at 8:30 AM tomorrow and Fed Chair Warsh&#8217;s<br \/>\n    testimony on Capitol Hill on Tueday and Wednesday starting at 10 AM ET.\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\n    Tensions between the United States and Iran escalated sharply over the weekend<br \/>\n    as the fragile ceasefire effectively collapsed and both sides returned to<br \/>\n    direct military action. Iran launched missile and drone attacks against U.S.<br \/>\n    military facilities across the region, while the U.S. responded with strikes on<br \/>\n    Iranian air-defense systems, radar sites, and naval assets. The Strait of<br \/>\n    Hormuz remains the central concern for markets, with commercial shipping<br \/>\n    activity falling as insurers and operators reassess the risks and Iran signals<br \/>\n    a greater willingness to challenge passage through the key energy corridor.<br \/>\n    Diplomatic efforts by regional mediators continue, but progress appears<br \/>\n    limited. For markets, the main focus is whether the conflict broadens further<br \/>\n    and whether oil flows through Hormuz face a more sustained disruption.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">US stock futures are implying a lower open with the\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0\" type=\"disc\">\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">Dow<br \/>\n        -46 points<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">S&amp;P<br \/>\n        -34 points\u00a0<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">Nasdaq<br \/>\n        -319 points.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">In the US debt market, yields are higehr:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0\" type=\"disc\">\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">2 year<br \/>\n        yield up 1.8 basis points at 4.227%<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">5 year<br \/>\n        up 1.7 basis points at 4.327%<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">10<br \/>\n        year yield up 1.4 basis points at 4.583%<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">30<br \/>\n        year yield up 1.2 basis points at 5.083%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">In other markets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n    Bitcoin is down -2.04% at $62847<\/li>\n<li>Crude oil is up $2.58 for 3.35% at $74\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Gold is down $64 or -1.57% at $4055<\/li>\n<li>Silver is down $1.39 or -2.30% at $58.45<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0 0 11px; line-height: 115%; font-size: 16px; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by fl932d6e52a19643278e0f123bca7198f5 at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The USD is mixed to start the new trading day with the NZD vs the USD as the biggest mover at the greenback -0.42% on the day.
