Refund Policy

There is no perfection in services online, and when funding is involved, we believe that the merchant should have a transparent refund policy. Solid ECN Securities acknowledges customer rights, and for that reason, we drafted the Solid-Refund policy.

There are circumstances when it is essential to return payment. Clients may submit a refund petition if the merchant service was not as described or the service was not functional or if the client justifies the reason.

We tried to make the money return policy concise, simple, and clear to give our customers a feeling of security. That is why we guarantee our services, and if it wasn’t as described the consumer has the right to apply for a money return.

Morning Market Review

EURUSD
The European currency shows an attempt at corrective growth, testing the level of 1.0260 for a breakout. The EUR/USD pair is recovering after a noticeable decline the day before, as a result of which the single currency updated local lows from November 11. At the same time, market activity remains reduced, as trading participants are in no hurry to open new positions ahead of the publication of the minutes of the US Federal Reserve meeting, as well as a block of macroeconomic statistics on the dynamics of Durable Goods Orders in October and business activity in November. Analysts expect new signals from the US regulator regarding future monetary policy. It is assumed that already in December, the Fed may go for some softening of its rhetoric and raise the interest rate by only 50 basis points. However, the value could be adjusted to higher levels than originally estimated as domestic inflation remains well above the 2.0% target. Uncertain macroeconomic statistics from Germany put pressure on the single currency yesterday. The Producer Price Index in October fell by 4.2% after rising by 2.3% in the previous month, while analysts expected an increase of 0.9%, and in annual terms, the dynamics slowed down from 45.8% to 34.5%, which also turned out to be worse than forecasts at the level of 41.5%.

GBPUSD
The British pound is trading with a weak upward trend, testing the level of 1.1850 for a breakout. The GBP/USD pair is recovering after a moderate decline at the beginning of this week; however, the activity of the "bulls" remains very low, as investors expect new drivers to appear on the market. The focus of traders is a block of macroeconomic statistics from the US on the dynamics of Durable Goods Orders, as well as the publication of the minutes of the US Federal Reserve, which will be released tomorrow. Traders will assess the likelihood of a slowdown in the tightening of monetary policy, as previously repeatedly stated by representatives of the regulator. In turn, the global vector for a gradual increase in the cost of borrowing is likely to continue, and therefore the American currency is in high demand. In the middle of the week, speeches by representatives of the Bank of England are also expected, including David Ramsden, Huw Pill and Catherine Mann. Moderate tightening of monetary policy is also expected from the British regulator in the future; however, the UK, in addition to raising interest rates, is trying to stabilize the economic situation by reducing government spending and increasing the fiscal burden.

XAUUSD
Gold prices show corrective growth, recovering from a four-day decline, as a result of which the instrument retreated from local highs to lows from November 10. The XAU/USD pair is testing 1745.00 for a breakout, waiting for new drivers to appear on the market. Demand for gold is gradually recovering as the publication of the minutes of the US Federal Reserve meeting approaches, which may contain hints regarding future monetary policy. The market expects the regulator to allow some weakening of its position in December and raise the interest rate by only 50 basis points. In addition, the minutes will contain updated forecasts regarding economic growth rates and inflation dynamics for the near future. The pressure on the trading instrument is also exerted by the upcoming meeting of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ), which will be held on Wednesday, November 23. Forecasts suggest that the interest rate will be raised again by 75 basis points to 4.25%.

Euro hovers near four-month high on US interest rate prospects

Euro rose in European trade against a basket of major rivals for the third straight session against dollar, almost hitting four-month highs amid fading concerns about the widening policy gap between the US and Europe. The dollar fell to near three-month lows under pressure from Fed's minutes, which bolstered the case for a 0.5% rate hike in December.

EURUSD rose 0.5% to 1.0448, after closing  up 0.9% yesterday, the second profit in a row, as risk appetite improved.

Four-Month Peak

Euro hit four-month highs at 1.0481 on November 15 before entering a descending wave on profit-taking.
Current gains amid fading concerns about the policy gaps between the US and Europe, with the ECB expected to increase interest rates by 75 basis points in December.
It's now also widely expected the Fed will increase rates by only 0.5% next month instead of 0.75%.

The Dollar

The dollar index fell 0.4% on Thursday, sharpening losses for the third day in a row, and hitting three-month lows at 105.34 against a basket of major rivals.
Fed's minutes yesterday showed US policymakers are content about the slowdown in inflation, and are moving toward smaller rate hikes.

NZDUSD - Growth is possible.

On the daily chart, the upward wave of the higher level (А) formed, a downward correction ended as the wave (B), and the wave (C) and the first entry wave of the lower level i of 1 of (C) are developing, within which the wave (i) of i has formed, a local correction has ended as the wave (ii) of i, a local correction ended as the wave (ii) of i, and the wave (iii) of i is developing.

If the assumption is correct, the NZDUSD pair will grow to the area of 0.6465 – 0.66. In this scenario, critical stop loss level is 0.6053.

S&P 500 - Prospects for a slowdown in the US Fed's “hawkish” rate support the stock market

The American stock market continues to recover its positions against the backdrop of positive signals from the US Federal Reserve, which were received from the minutes of the last meeting of the monetary policy department. According to the published document, the agency acknowledges the serious uncertainty in the economy associated with high interest rates and does not rule out the start of a slowdown in the pace of their adjustment to assess the effect on the economy from the steps already taken. Also, the previous level of stability of the value was revised upwards, and this gives the market a signal that the rate will change next year as well. Thus, analysts confirmed their confidence in the continued tightening of monetary stimulus by the US Federal Reserve, but at the December meeting, they expect an increase of 50,0 basis points, and not 75,0 basis points, as it was in November.

The index quotes continue the local corrective trend, and on the daily chart, they still form a Flag pattern, rising toward the resistance line, and technical indicators hold a buy signal.

Support levels: 3940, 3746 | Resistance levels: 4126, 4310

Euro hits fresh six-month highs against dollar

Euro rose in European trade for the fourth straight session against dollar, hitting fresh six-month highs as concerns about a widening policy gap between the US and Europe fade. Dollar extended its decline after Fed Chair Jerome Powell's recent statements about slowing down the pace of rate hikes starting from December. EURUSD rose over 0.4% to 1.0584, the highest since June , after closing up 0.15% on Friday, the third profit in a row as risk appetite dominated markets.

European Rates

The financial markets are now expecting the European Central Bank to increase rates by 75 basis points in December instead of 50. There are strong recent incentives for the ECB to do such move according to many analysts, while the Federal Reserve is only expected to hike rates by 50 basis points this month.

Chart of the Day - CHNComp

The Chinese National Health Commission announced a major easing of Covid curbs in the country today, including some restrictions that were in place for a long time. Asymptomatic patients as well as those with mild symptoms will now be allowed to self-quarantine at home instead of being moved to centralized quarantine camps. Negative Covid tests will no longer be required for cross-country travels as well as in most public venues. Movement restrictions in non-high risk zones will be removed while Chinese authorities will be more precise about what is a high-risk zone (rather than locking down whole communities). This is a major shift away from a strict Covid-zero policy that has been in place in China until now and sign that economic damage stemming from these policies as well as a social unrest triggered by them are a risk to CCP.

However, as media reports on easing of Covid restrictions have been making rounds for weeks now, the announcement triggered some profit taking. While Chinese indices, like CHNComp, jumped in a knee-jerk move, those gains were quickly pared and the index turned lower.

Taking a look at the CHNComp chart at D1 interval, we can see that the index tested 200-session moving average today (purple line) but failed to break above. Index started to pull back after a failed test and is now trading almost 5% below daily high! However, there is still some room for declines to deepen until important support level are reached. The first such level can be found at the 23.6% retracement of a recent upward impulse (6,350 pts) while the second, and a more important one, can be found at a lower limit of a local market geometry (6,175 pts).
