Personal opinions today

 

The US jobless claims held steady at 210,000, a sign of an expanding labor market. But other U.S. economic data shown slow down, bearish the dollar, the Dow has fallen and money has flowed into the yen and gold. Finally, the rise in the yen and gold prices eased after the Dow Jones index covered losses after the U.S. President said he would hold talks with China's trade ministry as soon as possible.

 

The British prime minister has decided to step down as soon as today as she wants to solve the Brexit deal. If UK retail sales data beat expectations today, it could be positive for the pound, but not bullish. We have wait and see the U.S. durable goods orders for April, with the data available as a revised estimate of first-quarter U.S. GDP next week. The data could boost stocks and support the dollar if very well. Conversely, bearish the Dow and USD.
