Personal opinions today

 

Although the EU extended the Brexit deadline, the condition is that the House of Commons of the British Parliament must passed the Brexit agreement. If the Brexit agreement is vetoed again, the UK must officially leave the EU without an agreement on April 12, two weeks later than the original March 29. At present, the British Prime Minister has tried to convince members of Congress to accept the agreement, but she expressed there is still not enough support. She will not submit the agreement again this week. It means that the Brexit agreement may not be accepted before the deadline. The next step is that the UK will face a "hard Brexit" and the GBP may continue to be downward.

 

Earlier, the Fed’s monetary policy indicated that it would stop raising interest rates during the year, and it will stop shrinking the balance sheet in September and may cut interest rates next year. Recently, the US Treasury bond yield rate is upside down, and the short-term three-month bond yield rate is higher than the 10-year bond yield. Market experience, this represents a bearish market, and the US economy will enter a recession one year later. However, Fed officials said that the Fed’s monetary policy plan stopped raising interest rates, the US economy maintained a recovery, and the chances of a recession were expected to be low, calling for no worries in the market. Today, we can further pay attention to the Fed officials attending the Asian Investment Forum and asking the Fed officials to express their views on monetary policy.

 

At present, market risk is still rising, investors can pay attention to the development of the Brexit and market risk sentiment this week. It is estimated that the money will flow to gold and the yen, will likely rise further. European and commodity currencies are likely to fall.
