Personal opinions today:

 

Markets watched the PMI for the U.S. manufacturing and services sectors, which were expected to show a slight increase from the previous month, and expected new home sales rise. If the results are better than expected, the outlook for the durable goods orders and the U.S. second-quarter GDP is stronger. The Fed could delay its rate cut in this end of the month, boosting the dollar. Currently, interest rate futures in the financial market are pricing in a chance of a quarter-point cut at the end of the month at about 78%. Dollar investors generally accept moderate rate cuts, the dollar was supported.

 

U.K. new prime minister, Johnson finally success took over as prime minister. The new prime minister said that he would officially leave the European Union by the end of October, and the market speculated that it would only be Brexit without an agreement at that time. The British economy would be in trouble. The European central bank (ECB) announced the results of its interest rate meeting on Thursday, and the market estimated that the ECB will resume monetary easing policy in the future, which will be bearish for the euro. The weakness of European currencies has indirectly boosted the dollar. The dollar's rise against other currencies also hit the gold. The lower global economic outlook failed to produce a big rebound in oil prices even as crude stocks unexpectedly fell sharply. Crude oil futures were held back by $57.4 after APl crude oil inventory data was released.

A number of major Canadian economic data have disappointed the market recently, and the outlook for economic growth has slowed, which is bearish for the Canadian dollar.

If crude oil prices rise, there are opportunities to boost the Canadian dollar. Weak U.S. economic data could add to the Canadian dollar gain.

If this week's U.S. economic data is strong and the dollar rises further, gold prices may have more room to adjust. The current recommendation focuses on significant support at $1411 and resistance at $1430.

 

U.S. Dow Jones industrial average futures US30

27420/27610 resistance
