Personal opinions today:
US June inflation, in line with market expectations. The monthly core inflation rate beat market expectations by 0.3 per cent. Yesterday, this noted that 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. So far the result has been only month-on-month growth, with little rebound in the dollar. The dollar index rose to 97 from 96.7. The dollar rose, while adjusted prices for gold and crude oil fell relative to other currencies. The federal reserve chairman Powell in the hearing presentation, Powell once again expressed concern about the U.S. inflation and economic downside risks, hinted that if the U.S. economy changes, ready to make monetary policy adjustments. Once again, the market will judge the fed's monetary policy and change the value of the dollar in response to U.S. economic data.
Next week, U.S. regional manufacturing indexes, retail sales and the US beige book will be released. Markets move the dollar based on forecasts and results. First up today are Japan industrial output and China trade account. The data will affect the Japanese yen and other Asian currencies, particularly the Chinese RMB and the closely linked Australian and New Zealand dollars. It also has an impact on crude oil prices. In addition, U.S. June PPI and core PPI data are likely to influence the performance of the dollar and U.S. stocks. More attention should be paid to the governor of the bank of Italy and the bank of Italy's quarterly economic bulletin. The news will have a very important impact on the euro and the rest of Europe. Any expected improvement in Italy's economy could boost the euro and further hurt gold prices.
