Personal opinions today:

 

After the release of US real GDP in the first quarter, the yields on Treasury bills and bonds returned to normal levels, improving the inversion of yields, reflecting an improvement in investor sentiment. The US statistics department noted that the real GDP in the first quarter keeping 3.1%, driven by consumption and exports. Most investor believe that the trade tensions between China and the United States continue. China and the United States have increased import tariffs on each other. Consumers and exporters have avoided imposing tariffs on each other. Market worried that global growth will slow and that a U.S. trade war with China could hurt U.S. economic prospects. Amid uncertainty over the investment outlook, US President Donald Trump yesterday gave a talk to stop the stock market dropped. Trump simply said that trade talks with China were progressing well but did nothing to address investor concerns. Investors are waiting for officials or leaders of the two countries formally negotiate.

 

Today, the market focus on the German CPI for May and the Canadian GDP for March. In the dollar, attention was paid to the core PCE price index in April and the final reading of the University of Michigan consumer confidence index in May. 

 

Expectations are that Germany CPI for May will be lower than previous readings and that the euro will be lower before the release. Canada GDP for March is expected to rise, ahead of the release of the forecast. However, the market expects the US core PCE price index to rise in April, adding to the dollar's gains. However, the final reading of the university of Michigan consumer confidence index for May may be lower than the previous reading, which may affect the dollar's strength.
