ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 Nov 28

Personal opinions today:

The final reading of U.S. real GDP in the third quarter was 2.1%, up sharply from 1.9% in the previous report. Besides, the jobless claims fell to 210,000 last week, a significant improvement from the past two weeks. The only disappointment was a drop in personal income and consumer spending, coupled with a lower than an expected PCE price index. The market has been watching the U.S. economy as a whole, depending on the Fed monetary policy direction. This morning, the Fed Beige Book economic report noted that the U.S. economy expanded modestly between October and mid-November, with an optimistic outlook for overall economic growth, a still-tight job market across the country and modest upward pressure on wages. The report said consumer spending was stable to moderate in most of the 12 federal jurisdictions, while retail and manufacturer costs rose in some areas, some citing tariffs. These factors support Dow futures continue to create new highs to close. But with the long U.S. Thanksgiving holiday expected this weekend, investors and investors are cautious and retail sales likely to reposition ahead of the holiday season, which could limit gains in dow futures and asset prices.

109.10/109.00 support
The U.S. dollar rose against the yen on the back of positive news from the U.S. Fed Beige Book economic conditions report on the U.S. economy. If we break 109.15 in the first stage, we will break through the significant resistance in the next level. At present, if the USDJPY to maintain the upward trend, could test 109.65 or 109.85 resistance.

US crude oil futures
58.50/59.05 resistance
