Personal opinions today:

The market worried that the Sino-US trade war is heating up, the US government Treasury Department restricts foreign investment in US investment, and many measures may directly target China. Also, the US government once again pointed out that China is a currency manipulator, and the market is more worried about the deterioration of relations between the two countries. In addition, in November, the US presidential midterm election was approaching. The market worried about political changes. The funds were transferred from the stock market to the bond market. The US Dow fell over 800 points. The funds turned to the bond market and the US bond yields rose.

Global stock markets were dragged down, and the Nikkei index also fell over 800 points. Global stock markets and the Nikkei index fell, indirectly negative dollar against the yen, boosting gold. The fall in the dollar will help the flow of funds to the European currency. However, the Sino-US trade is heating up, affecting the Chinese economy, offshore renminbi, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar respectively. Finally, due to uncertain economic prospects and a sharp increase in US crude oil inventories, crude oil prices fell from US$74 to US$72, and the technical trend fell below US$73.

Market worries are Sino-US heating up, and US Treasury yields have risen to short-term highs. The market is waiting the performance of the US consumer price index and the number of US initial jobless claims tonight. At present, the US dollar is looking stronger. If the consumer price index is rising. The jobless claims will decrease, which will trigger the Fed to raise interest rates, but it will also affect the economic growth prospects and worry about the loss of corporate profits. Capital flows into the bond market, capital liquidity is reduced, and the stock market is more difficult to rebound. The dollar is less optimistic, and European currencies and gold prices are likely to bullish.

Today's suggestion:

EURUSD

1.1495/1.1480 support

The Brexit negotiations are progressing well, and worries are cooling down, which will help boost the euro.

If the US consumer price index only meets market expectations, there is a chance to bearish the dollar and make the euro rebound.

1.3175/1.3155 support

GBPUSD broke the 1.3175 and 1.3200 resistance levels respectively last night, falling below the US stock market and worrying that the US presidential midterm election is approaching.

The Nikkei index continued to fall. It was down by the US Dow last night and became one of the important factors for the dollar to fall against the yen. In addition, after the quarterly settlement in Japan, the return of funds to Japan will help the yen rise. At present, if the global stock market continues to fall, the USD/JPY trend has the opportunity to test the 111 level.

AUDUSD

0.7050/0.7035 support

The recent Australian economic indicators are not good, the Australian consumer confidence index fell, and the Australian dollar was negative.

But before the important data of the US consumer price index tonight, the New Zealand dollar was downward risk.

USD/CAD

1.2950/1.2965 resistance

1.2905/1.2885 support

US crude oil futures:

73.75/74.05 resistance

72.05/71.75 support

Uncertainty in US politics and Sino-US trade and a sharp increase in crude oil inventories have caused oil prices to fall. If the growth rate of the US ElA increases higher than expected tonight, the oil price will further test the low position. But pay attention to the increase in seasonal demand, crude oil prices still have reason to rebound.
