15.12.202513:08 Analisis Forex & Kajian: Level and Target Adjustments for the U.S. Session – December 15th

Due to very low volatility, suitable entry points using the Mean Reversion strategy never materialized. Using the Momentum strategy, I traded only the Japanese yen.

Eurozone industrial production data showed growth of 0.8%, while economists had expected an increase of just 0.1%. But who needs October data when it is already mid-December? As a result, the euro did not react to them at all. However, clear certainty regarding the future policy of the European Central Bank gives the euro an advantage against the U.S. dollar.

Later today, U.S. figures for the Empire Manufacturing Index and the NAHB Housing Market Index are expected. A speech by FOMC member John Williams will also take place. The release of the Empire Manufacturing Index will be an important indicator of the state of the U.S. manufacturing sector. A reading above expectations would indicate an expansion in manufacturing activity, which generally has a positive effect on the overall economic climate and could support the U.S. dollar. The NAHB Housing Market Index will be no less important, as it reflects builders' sentiment and their assessment of current conditions in the housing market. This indicator is a leading measure of activity in the construction sector. Positive NAHB data would signal a strong housing market, which could stimulate economic growth and boost consumer confidence.

Finally, the speech by FOMC member John Williams will attract particular attention from investors, as his comments may provide insight into his views on the future path of interest rates. Any signs of a more hawkish tone could have a positive impact on the dollar, while hints of continued dovish policy could lead to its weakening.

In the case of strong data, I will rely on implementing the Momentum strategy. If there is no market reaction to the data, I will continue to use the Mean Reversion strategy.
