ATFX Market Outlook, 2020 Mar 23

Personal opinions today:

Many countries in Europe and the United States have imposed restrictions on entry and exit, and many cities have restricted their residents from leaving their homes. Central Banks around the world have responded actively to the downside risks of the economy, and repeatedly launched measures to rescue the market and stimulate the economy. European countries are seriously affected, capital flows to the US Treasury bonds and the US dollar, the dollar index rose. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has announced its bond-buying program today ahead of its scheduled meeting on Wednesday. Now investors are waiting to see if Canada follows suit.

The global recession is severe, and Morgan Stanley, a big investment firm, expects the U.S. economy to plunge 30% in the second quarter. Over the weekend, US Congress voted on a new package of economic stimulus measures, facing the failure of negotiations between the two parties. Early in the morning in Asia, the DOW futures fell, triggering another circuit breaker. Gold climbed as high as $1,507 and silver followed suit, rising as high as $12.65. The dollar fell against the yen to 110.25 from 111.20. It is believed that for the outbreak and the economy, countries will announce new plans from time to time, please pay attention to the stock, gold and currency fluctuations.
