Personal opinions today

 

US retail sales in January were better than expected, and compared with the negative growth in the peak season in December, reaching 0.2%. It is estimated that the US consumer price index for February will have a good effect tonight. The market expects that the consumer price index will also reach 0.2% tonight, which is 0% higher than last month. In addition, the US presidential budget and the US economic forecast are rising, which is equally bullish dollar. It is reported that the Fed still expects to raise interest rates at least once in the second half of the year. These are the factors of the bullish dollar, but why did the dollar not rise last fall, because the dollar's main rival currency, the euro and the pound rose. It has been reported that the British Prime Minister has made a deal in consultations with the EU. The EU is willing to make a backup plan for the Irish border tariff issue and will give the grace period, that boosts the pound, and the euro will rise indirectly, limiting the dollar's rise while the dollar fell.

 

However, the market is closely watching the two-day discussion and voting on the draft of the new Brexit agreement in the British Parliament. At present, there is a high chance that the draft will be rejected. Although the risk of having to leave the EU at the end of March is reduced, if the British Parliament veto the draft tomorrow, the next day will discuss the decision to leave the European referendum. A variety of fundamental factors risk that European currencies will face different levels of risk, and European currencies face downside risks. As risk aversion heats up, gold and the yen will likely be chased again. And whether the Swiss franc can become a safe haven for European currencies, will be cited this Wednesday and Thursday. It is recommended that this week's trading must pay attention to risk management, capital and position control.

EURUSD 

1.1280/1.1300 resistance

1.1230/1.1210 support

At present, the UK may avoid the risk of hard Brexit and stabilize the Euro. Technically, the euro has to successfully break through the resistance of 1.1265 and still need more good news. If the euro rebounds 61.8% and 73.6%, respectively, 1.1265 and 1.1280 stop, the trend is still judged as a downward trend.

If the Brexit agreement was rejected this week, the UK could not extend the Brexit deadline, nor did it make a second referendum, which affected the pound's decline. Technically, 1.3020 can be used as a long and short watershed. The development of the matter is good or bad, and it is decided that the pound will go up and down the 1.3020 against the US dollar.
