Personal opinions today:

 

The escalating trade war between the United States and China, raising concerns. European currencies the euro and the Swiss franc followed the yen and gold as safe havens in a trade battle between the United States and China. Last night, before the US market closed, the Dow and the US dollar were further after the US government declared China a currency manipulator. The yen and gold first broke through recent highs, while the Euro and Swiss franc rebounded. If there is no good news in the short term, the U.S. government continues to threaten China with unreasonable, global stock markets continue to fall, and the prices of the above-mentioned safe-haven assets will probably rise further. The dollar index is now at 97 and could fall further if Washington fails to resolve the situation. As the dollar continues to fall, crypto currencies could also be pushed higher.

 

The reserve bank of Australia (RBA) is expected to cut interest rates this afternoon as worried trade war between China and the United States could weigh on growth prospects. The Australian and New Zealand dollars have fallen recently, and if the RBA cuts rates, the RBNZ could follow tomorrow, with the Australian and New Zealand dollars likely to fall further. Conversely, if the RBA holds rates unchanged today and the RBNZ does the same tomorrow, it is likely to boost the respective currencies. In addition, it is noteworthy that the information office of the state council of China held a press conference today. If it involves the recent heated up trade war between China and the United States, it is worth paying attention to how the country should respond or fight back. It also looks at how it affects Asian stock futures and U.S. Dow futures, currency and gold prices.

1.1265/1.1285 resistance

Europe has yet to see a significant recovery, but the Euro and Swiss franc have strengthened. The biggest reason is that the recent US President threats against China have forced the trade war to heat up, with European currencies becoming another safe haven.

The downside risk to the euro has been mitigated by key U.S. data, with resistance levels expected to rise to 1.1145 and 1.1165. Believe the trend of the euro indirectly affected the Swiss franc trend. If China's state council information office holds a press conference today, it will escalate the trade war between China and the United States. European currencies are expected to move higher, with the euro target at 1.1285 or higher.
