Personal opinions today:

Markets are looking forward to a meeting and trade talks between the heads of state of the United States and the leader of China at the G20 summit on Friday. If the trade talks between China and the United States can be resolved ahead of time, which could boost economic growth, the federal reserve could hold off cutting interest rates and bullish the dollar. But US President Trump has renewed his criticism of the Fed's comments, giving a pressure on the Fed. Although the US President cannot interfere in the decisions of the federal reserve, gold prices rose on Trump's remarks. Gold was trading at $1,428 when Asian markets opened today. The dollar fell against other major currencies, the euro rose to $1.14 and commodity currencies also gained.

Focus today, U.S. economic data and federal reserve officials, with a special focus on the total number of new home sales in May and a speech by federal reserve chairman Powell. Further tracking of the U.S. economic outlook and the monetary policy direction of Fed officials should follow the US President and increase interest rate cuts by more than market expectations.
