ATFX Market Outlook, 2020 April 6
Personal opinions today:
US non-farm payrolls fell sharply in March, shedding 700,000 people and pushing the unemployment rate to 4.4%. The jobless claims jumped to a record high in the last two weeks, with the market already digesting the non-farm payrolls and not surprised investors. The U.S. dollar index rose to 100.84 after the ISM manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMI beat market expectations in March, adding to investors' confidence in dollar assets. European and commodity currencies are downward. Later, Dow futures took advantage of U.S. data to beat expectations and the U.S. President's meeting with Russia and OPEC to discuss cutting output. Crude oil prices rose, driving U.S. Dow futures higher. Dow futures rose further after the Asian session opened, sending Asian stocks higher and limiting gold's gains today.
