The FOMC Meeting is set to be the highlight of the week as it might revive the rising trend of the US dollar. Watchful eyes are glued to the reactions of the financial markets as the new tariffs officially take effect today. The policy divergence between the Fed and other central banks have put the US dollar in the spotlight and traders are keen to see how the Fed will play a probable fourth rate hike in December.
EURUSD Fundamental Analysis The EURUSD pair mainly found support by a weak US dollar last week. As we progressed into a new week, the Germany IFO Business Climate and EX CPI figures will be the main events on the data front for the Euro. Core inflation is expected to remain the same while elevated energy prices should drive headline inflation slightly higher at 2.1%.
On the political front, attention will be on the Italian Budget. Technical Analysis The pair has formed an ascending triangle and the breakout through the resistance level might be the signal of a bullish formation. The uptrend line shows that sellers are losing control and bulls are pushing the pair higher.
It is currently trading around the 1.1740 level, and a firm confirmation above that level could provide bulls with trading opportunities. GBPUSD Fundamental Analysis After the renewed confidence over positive Brexit news, the Sterling is trading on the back foot again. A lack of economic releases on the UK-calendar will cause the pair to be mostly driven by Brexit related news.
Technical Analysis After falling out of the overbought RSI conditions, the Gravestone Doji candle which formed on the weekly chart in an uptrend pattern shows that the selling pressures were able to push prices back down to the opening price of the week. This can signal that the uptrend could be over and long positions should trade cautiously. However, Friday’s sell-off might also be panic-selling so bears should wait and see for a clear down direction to act.
AUDUSD Fundamental Analysis This pair remains vulnerable to the US-Sino trade war. A lack of macroeconomic data during the week with only some releases on Friday will likely stay driven by trade angst. Technical Analysis On the technical side, the pair remains trapped in a bearish channel.
The pair has stayed dampened in since the beginning of the February 2018.

市場對頂尖製程晶圓及先進封裝(Advanced Packaging)的瘋狂胃納,其增長速度早已遠遠超越了全球供應鏈所能溫和承受的極限。這種極端的供需失衡,正強行逼迫各大 AI 龍頭大廠積極評估「第二供貨源(Second-source)」—— 呢點要稍為校準:這並不代表大廠們正在拋棄台積電,而是他們在實戰中迫切需要多一條通往大規模量產的備用防線。
支撐英特爾未來繼續狂飆的牛市邏輯非常直觀:**全球 AI 算力需求依舊極其瘋狂**,台積電的產能死鎖在短期內根本無法解開,這倒逼跨國科技巨頭必須不計代價尋求具備實質技術公信力的第二代工防線。如果英特爾能成功將目前的秘密測試與意向訂單逐步轉化為實質性的商業產出,全球長線資金將繼續為其晶圓代工戰略瘋狂計價。
最後,不容忽視的是更宏觀的 **AI 資本開支大週期**。一旦 Google、微軟、亞馬遜和 Meta 等超大規模雲端商(Hyperscalers)未來在龐大的基礎設施投入上放緩步伐、或是 AI 商業化變現的投資回報率(ROI)不如預期,成個半導體板塊都將迎來泥沙俱下的結構性大回撤,無論英特爾 Foundry 的製程進展得幾咁完美也無法獨善其身。
綜上所述,主導接下來外匯與股票交叉盤生死的黃金變數包括:輝達會否發出實質生產訂單、18A 工藝的最新良率進展、英特爾代工業務的虧損限度、台積電先進封裝擴產速度,以及北美雲端巨頭們的 AI 資本開支是否依舊強悍。
