ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 Oct 23

Personal opinions today:

Yesterday, British prime minister Boris Johnson pushed through procedural legislation to save the Brexit deal, which was rejected by the house of Commons, believing the deadline for Brexit at the end of this month would have to be extended. The British parliament is unable to pass the Brexit agreement before the deadline, so it is estimated that there is a great risk that the pound exchange rate will fall. The recent analysis highlighted the UK divorce with EU and expected adjustments in the Euro and pound. Gold and silver prices have rebounded from low levels amid renewed risk aversion caused by the brexit issue and falling stock markets. Gold's rise was capped at $1, 500 by a thaw in trade relations with China. Crude oil prices rose in a number of factors, mainly the United States API crude oil inventory data fell, bullish oil prices.

European central bank (ECB) monetary policy is widely expected to remain unchanged after its President Mario draghi attended his last policy meeting and press conference on Thursday. But the ECB's new President, she will take over on November 1, before the central bank formally restarts its TLTRO . It is looking into the possibility of a big rate cut. Market forecast, this European central bank interest rate meeting, may again put forward the relevant research report. If the European central bank will introduce further interest rate cuts, It would believe that good for the future economy. But as things stand, the euro is expected to come downward before the ECB's rate decision.

If the British parliament again rejects the Brexit deal, seeks a second referendum or the European commission does not give a delay to the Brexit deal, it may lead to a bearish effect on the pound. We suggest you watch pound fluctuations. 1.2840 is the current rebound wave support level, is concerned by the market.

Australian dollar to US dollar
0.6880/0.6890 resistance
0.6835/0.6825 support
The failure of the Brexit deal by parliament affected investment sentiment, with the US dollar, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar adjusting gains. Technically, last month's high of 0.6890 will be an important resistance level reference, currently maintain observation, if confirmed breakthrough failure, trend adjustment. On the contrary, if the Fed makes interest rate cut remarks, it will be bearish for the US dollar and bullish for the Australian and New Zealand dollars.

Dollar to yen
108.75/108.90 resistance
108.40/108.25 support
The failure of the British parliament to pass a Brexit deal to leave the European Union dampened investment sentiment, limiting the dollar's gains against the yen and also following declines in Dow and Nikkei futures.

U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar
1.3135/1.3150 resistance
1.3085/1.3075 support
After the Canadian election, the Canadian dollar rose before a day. But the news is pricing in a correction. If the price of crude oil rose, indirectly bullish Canadian dollar. Technically, the U.S. dollar could test 1.32 against the Canadian dollar if crude oil prices fall. Unless, Fed rate cut would be bullish for oil prices and the Canadian dollar. It's worth keeping an eye on.

Technically, it is worth paying attention to and referring to the Dow futures volatility and trend, how to drive the gold price trend and direction. If Dow futures fall, Asian stocks fall and gold falls at different times. Note that after the London market opened, the gold prices may again test resistance in light of the above mentioned data.

These two key points are likely to support the Dow futures move higher. Technically, if Dow futures maintain 26660 support, keep bullish Dow futures.
