ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 Nov 27

Personal opinions today:

The US President said that China and US trade deals were close to finalising the first phase, lead to drafting a text. The market is predicting that if the agreement is implemented soon, the U.S. government will probably suspend the threat of additional import tariffs worth $150 billion to China and promote economic development. The news lifted Dow futures again to a near half-year closing high, offsetting yesterday's weak US economic data. But consistently, U.S. economic data has been weaker than market expectations, potentially affecting the Fed’s monetary policy. The dollar index adjusted gains, gold and silver prices rose, European currencies rose slightly. U.S. API crude stocks were declined compared with last week, but still higher than market expectations, with US crude oil prices limiting the $58.50 resistance.

This evening, the final reading of real U.S. GDP for the third quarter, weekly jobless claims, October durable goods orders and the core U.S. PCE price index will provide valuable guidance for the U.S. economy in the first part of the fourth quarter and are more likely to influence market views of the federal reserve's December 11 monetary meeting. So investors will find an essential clue in the Fed Beige Book-report on the state of the economy at 3 a.m. tomorrow. Stock markets, gold prices and the dollar index are expected to fluctuate between the start and end of today's U.S. trading session.

This weekend is the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday; investors need to consider investment institutions may use the holiday positioning, various asset prices may reverse the trend.
