Personal opinions today:
There were obstacles in Sino-US trade negotiations. After the US stock market resumed last night , the Dow fell more than 300 points. Fortunately, the performance of US companies announced better than market expectations, supporting the stock market to stabilize, and the US stock market recovered some lost ground before the close. Due to the negative sentiment of the US Dow by the Sino-US trade negotiations, the price of gold and the yen have been good. However, the China RMB, the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar fell. In addition, crude oil prices fell at a high level, and the Canadian dollar followed the decline. The only time the Brexit deadline is expected to be extended, the pound is strong in major currencies.
In the short-term, the Bank of Japan announced the interest rate decision at 11:00 am in Beijing time. At 14:30 in the afternoon, the central bank governor Kuroda held a press conference. The Bank of Japan’s monetary policy is expected to remain unchanged, but in the afternoon, Kuroda’s remarks have received attention. The market expects that the Bank of Japan's future monetary policy may be revised. If efforts are made to stimulate the economy, there is an opportunity to influence the yen's decline.
At 17:30 pm Beijing time, the Vice President of the Bank of England remarks and the UK announced industrial orders at 7 pm. The current estimates and vice president's comments have brought negatives, and the exchange rate of the pound may be adjusted. In the evening, Canada announced retail sales data, the market is expected to fall compared to October, before the results announced, it is still estimated to be negative for the Canadian dollar. In addition, US crude oil inventories will be announced tomorrow morning, and the market will watch the increase or decrease in the amount of inventories. If the result increases, there will be an opportunity to affect the decline in crude oil prices.
