Intraday Strategies for Beginner Traders on May 28

The euro, the pound, and other risk assets, including the Japanese yen, continued to decline sharply against the U.S. dollar.

Strong May data on U.S. consumer confidence were the main driver behind these developments. The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index significantly exceeded economists' expectations. This triggered a wave of reassessment regarding the Federal Reserve's monetary policy outlook, strengthening the stance of those supporting a more aggressive approach to curbing inflation.

The dollar's appreciation exerted direct pressure on the euro, the pound, and other risk assets, which traditionally have an inverse correlation with the U.S. currency. Traders, encouraged by the prospect of higher interest rates in the U.S., began actively buying dollars, which in turn triggered a sell-off in the overbought euro.

Today, pressure on the pair may persist, and even weak data from the eurozone may suffice. Upcoming data includes changes in French consumer spending, GDP growth, unemployment change, and the unemployment rate. Negative surprises in these reports could reinforce expectations that the European Central Bank will continue to aggressively cut interest rates, fearing further damage to the fragile economic recovery. This, in turn, would widen the policy divergence between the Fed and the ECB, making the U.S. dollar more attractive to traders.

However, it's worth noting that the market's reaction may be complex and nonlinear. For instance, even weak data might be interpreted as temporary and not requiring immediate ECB intervention, thereby softening the pressure on the euro. Additionally, global market sentiment and geopolitical developments may influence the currency pair's dynamics.

If the data aligns with economists' expectations, it is advisable to follow a Mean Reversion strategy. The Momentum strategy is more appropriate if the data significantly exceeds or falls short of expectations.
