- Better than expected ADP data
- Strengthening of the USD
- A pullback in the stock market in Europe
- Mixed sentiment on US indices
European indices finished today’s session lower, however this does not change the balance of forces on the chart. The main stock indices from the Old Continent remain within the local consolidation zone. It is worth noting that the current movements may be related to the end of the month and quarter, which is related to the rebalancing of portfolios. Meanwhile mixed moods prevail on the US stock market. Nasdaq fell slightly (0.12%), while the S&P 500 rose 0.05% and the Dow Jones gained 0.5%.
WTI crude oil rose nearly 1% however buyers were not able to break above recent highs and for now price still remains in the local consolidation zone, between support at $ 72.50 and resistance at $74.25. OPEC Secretary-General said Tuesday that oil demand is expected to rise by 6 million barrels per day this year, with 5 million bpd of that coming in H2 2021. OPEC+ will meet this week and the group is expected to increase supply for August by around 550,000 bpd.

Looking technically at USDJPY on the D1 interval, one can see that the pair managed to break above the psychological level of 111.00.
