ATFX Market Outlook, 2020 Feb 7

 

Personal opinions today: 

 

U.S. job data, such as ADP and jobless claims last week beat market expectations. U.S. payroll rose to 291,000 in January and jobless claims fell last week, keeping the dollar index and Dow futures on an upward trend in line with expectations for U.S. economic growth. Official U.S. non-farm payrolls for January are also expected to rise above 250,000. If the U.S. non-farm payroll data beat market expectations and hit 300,000 or above. In addition, the U.S. average hourly wages rose more than 0.3% in January, and the U.S. dollar index and Dow futures are expected to maintain gains ahead of next week's U.S. consumer price index for January. Technically noteworthy, when the non-farm payrolls released then the technical adjustment. Moreover, investors watch for volatility in the U.S. dollar index and Dow futures and the possibility of a correction after a high.

 

Ultimately, of course, investors will pay attention to the non-farm payroll data and average hourly wage performance, and then to the dollar index and Dow futures, which indirectly affect European currencies, gold prices, and crude oil prices. In addition, the federal reserve will release its semi-annual monetary policy report to Congress, and the policy orientation is the focus of the market. If the fed signals an optimistic economic outlook, it does not expect a rate cut. Believe the dollar index rose, but Dow futures could fall.
