Personal opinions today:

 

The dollar fell last night after federal reserve chairman Powell speech and presentation that trade tensions could pose downside risks to U.S. markets, the economy and inflation. He added that the U.S. economy remains weak, suggesting that all fed officials are in favor of a rate cut if the economy and inflation slow. 

 

Asian stocks rose today as the Dow rebounded on expectations that the federal reserve could cut interest rates China A50, Nikkei and Hong Kong hang seng index all rose. But interest rate cut expectations rose, the dollar index fell, the dollar fell against other major currencies. European currencies rose and commodity currencies did well. Gold and oil futures rose.

 

Today's focus is on US inflation data for June and the federal reserve chairman speech at the hearing again. If the monthly U.S. consumer price index rose sharply above market expectations of 0.2 percent in June and edged closer to 1 percent inflation, the dollar could rebound sharply. Gold prices and crude oil prices also have a chance of falling against other currencies. Then Fed chairman Powell made another presentation on the final day of the hearing, listening closely to Powell's presentation of the Fed's monetary policy. In the meantime, there could be make the market volatility.
