ATFX Market Outlook, 2020 Jan 3
Personal opinions today:
Manufacturing PMI in Europe and the United States continued to expand in December, boosting investment sentiment. In addition, U.S. jobless claims continued to fall last week and Dow futures rose to a record high. The dollar index and Dow futures are expected to rise ahead of the release of the December ISM manufacturing PMI this evening and the minutes of the Fed at 03:00 the following day.
In European trading today, the market forecast German unemployment in December and the unemployment rate and consumer price index rose from November, believe the euro and pound. But the dollar is likely to be bullish after the European data, as the U.S. manufacturing PMI is expected to grow in December and the federal reserve releases the minutes of its December monetary policy meeting. While the dollar and dow futures rose, gold prices had no impact. But watch out for gold prices, which fall when investors reposition. Crucially, tomorrow's minutes from the federal reserve's monetary policy meeting and Britain's departure from Europe could provide good news.
