ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 June 28

 

Personal opinions today:

 

Markets are watching the Japan  G20 summit. The summit is not the focus of the market. The China and US leader meeting is the focus of the market. Ahead of the summit, U.S. and Chinese leaders had said they would meet Saturday. The market expects to ease relations, arrange the next round of China and US trade consultation and enhance the investment sentiment in the market. 

 

Yesterday, the German June CPI monthly rate preliminary value, over expectations. Now the forecast the eurozone June CPI monthly rate rise. But before the Eurozone CPI results for June, keep an eye on French and Spanish data, which, if good, could add to the euro. In addition, the first quarter of UK GDP and current account, the market to see whether UK will face a hard brexit risk, economic growth slowed. Data forecasts are bearish for the British pound.

 

The number of U.S. workers filing new claims for jobless benefits rose as the labor market slowed and spending power likely fell. There are opportunities to influence future prices. The core PCE price index for may was released today. Is testing the U.S. tariffs on China. In addition, the Chicago PMl and Michigan consumer confidence index for June. These economic data are noteworthy and affect the performance of the dollar.
