Personal opinions today:

Market worries continued to heat up. The US Dow fell on the second day and closed lower. The Dow fell for two trading days and fell by more than 1,300 points. The investment market is tense, paying attention to the upcoming US presidential midterm elections in November. The market is worried about political changes, stock market capital outflows, safe-haven funds are transferred to the bond market, and US bond yields are rising. Coupled with the US consumer price index fell in August compared to August, the US economic confidence weakened, the stock market and the dollar fell simultaneously. The slowdown in US inflation has affected the dollar's decline. The major currencies have generally risen against the dollar, which has further spurred the surge in gold. The economy slowed down, oil prices were downward, and oil prices once fell below $71.

Australia, August home loan license fell more than market expectations, but the dollar fell, temporarily supporting the Australian dollar. In the afternoon, Germany announced the industrial output and CPl of the Eurozone. The German CPl was more watched by the market. If the monthly rate and annual rate are better than last month, it will help the euro. Conversely, if the performance of the data falls, it will be negative for the euro and may affect the performance of other European currencies.

In the evening, the United States announced the Import and Export Price Index and the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index. Due to market concerns, data performance has the opportunity to affect the performance of the US Dow and the Nasdaq, while affecting the dollar's movement, which deserves attention.
