ATFX Market Outlook, 2020 Jan 14
Personal opinions today:
Japan today reported a trade deficit for November of 2.5 billion yen. Also, the Dow rebounded to close at a high, with the Nikkei following Dow futures higher and safe-haven money flowing out of the yen. Two factors led the Asian open today, the dollar-yen through the 110 barriers. Risk aversion cooled and money flowed out of the gold market. Gold prices fell earlier in Asia, breaking through support before $1,540.
Among European currencies, the pound was weaker. The move comes after the governor of the Bank of England president said earlier that BoE would not consider raising interest rates for some time to come. Bank of England officials said the same thing last night. In addition, industrial production and manufacturing in the United Kingdom fell sharply in November, and the merchandise trade account deficit was bearish for the pound. The pound fell as investors pared back their holdings as markets waited to see if the Brexit at the end of this month would resolve key issues related to its policy.
Markets will watch the release of the U.S. consumer price index for December tonight, limiting the dollar's performance. The dollar was weak as non-farm payrolls and average wages in the United States fell in December and the market calculated that U.S. consumer prices fell in December. But if December's consumer price index is in line with market expectations for a 0.2% gain or better, the dollar index is expected to rise. If U.S. consumer prices do well, that's good for U.S. stocks. If the Dow rises, gold falls, indirectly bearish for silver. Recently, the price of crude oil continued its downward trend, falling to $58. The market is watching the economic performance of countries, and will also care about the release of the U.S. crude oil inventory change tomorrow morning. If inventories fall, crude oil prices are expected to rebound.
