Personal opinions today:

 

The final reading of the US Markit and ISM manufacturing PMI and the federal reserve's beige book. Today's market focus on U.S. August ADP payroll, the results are directly related to the U.S. August non-farm payrolls tomorrow. The market session is expected to be advanced today following the release of U.S. August ADP payrolls, pending the results of U.S. August non-farm payrolls, the unemployment rate and average wages.

 

The fed's beige book did not fully reflect the economic downturn, but in the manufacturing sector, it showed manufacturing sector were worried about the impact of a global trade war and the risk of a slowdown affecting manufacturing exports. Elsewhere, consumer confidence continued, and retailers remained confident about the economy and spending going forward. On the inflation front, expect inflation to grow "moderately". But the phrase "moderately" is generally used to mean that inflation has risen only slightly. The odds of a quarter-point interest rate cut by the federal reserve in September are 90.4 per cent, according to CME monitor, US 10-year Treasury yields fell to a 10-year low of 1.425%. Government Bond Fund flows into corporate bonds, indirectly pushing the Dow higher. The dollar fell amid rising cut interest rate expectations, bullish for gold and crude oil. And last night the next President of the European central bank (ECB) said she was considering the negative impact of the central bank's measures and trying to find the right way to push up the Eurozone economy. The British prime minister has overturned a no-deal Brexit by MPS opposed to leaving the European Union. The euro and pound rebounded further.
