Personal opinions today:

 

China has issued a trade negotiation between the United States and China white paper, pointing out China's position on trade wars and trade negotiations with the United States. It is believed that the talks between China and the U.S.  have reached a deadlock, and China's position is firm. If the U.S. President and the Commerce Department do not tone down their tough stance, it will be difficult to resolve the impasse before the G20 meeting at the end of June, improving the mood for investment and expectations of an economic slowdown. Besides, the market is watching the release of the U.S. employment report for May this week, ADP private market employment change and non-farm payrolls for May, as well as the unemployment rate and the average hourly wage. The US Non-farm payrolls in May are expected to fall to 190,000, the unemployment rate to 3.7 per cent and average hourly wages to rise just 0.1 per cent, according to market estimates. The Fed could cut interest rates in September if U.S. employment change slows in anticipation of a gloomy economic outlook. Investors may reduce their holdings of the dollar and dollar assets ahead of the U.S. jobs data, giving European currencies and commodity prices a chance to rise.

 

Focus today, Germany, Eurozone and UK manufacturing PMI  for May, which would be positive for European currencies and sterling if they recorded growth. Besides, the U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI in May. If the data slow down, the dollar will fall further. Conversely, the dollar rebounded.
