ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 September 3

 

Personal opinions today:

 

China and the United States begin to impose tariffs on each other, affecting China and the global economy. Australia, which relies on resource commodities to export to China, also has a lot of influence. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announced its decision at noon and was widely expected to hold rates at a historic low of 1%. Investors did not consider the RBA cut-rate, but it is worth watching the monetary policy forecast, affecting the Australian dollar.

 

Eurozone producer prices index for July are released today, and the U.S. has big data and critical report coming. The US Markit manufacturing purchasing managers index and the official US ISM manufacturing purchasing managers index for August, announced today. If the official U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI just below market expectations of 51. It would believe that the market will be acceptable, which will have little impact on the dollar. If it falls below the 50, the effect is enormous. The impact on the U.S. Dow futures market and the US dollar. The more significant impact has been volatility in global equity and bond markets, which has spread to emerging markets and currencies. So it's worth noting. The data could reflect the federal reserve's "beige book" regional economic report on Thursday and the U.S. jobs report for August on Thursday and Friday. Have to watch out for today.

Conversely, the Australian dollar could dip to its low of 0.6670 in early 2019 if it considers any negative news.
