ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 Aug 28

Personal opinions today:

Starting next week, US trade department will extra charge tariffs on $550 billion worth of China import goods. The market is assuming global economies, exclusive at the two countries are facing a recession. Economic growth slowed in the Q3 to Q4, as businesses faced cash constraints. US two-year and 10-year Treasury yields were again upside down yesterday, USDCNH rose, hit the highest back. More importantly, US long and short term treasury yields have once again fallen, and the Dow future has fallen again. Yesterday the Dow opened higher and closed lower. Then gold prices rose back to $1,543. Nikkei futures closed lower as well, while the USDJPY also traded below 106. U.S. crude oil prices rebounded, helped by a sharp drop in API crude oil stocks, while crude oil futures recovered to the $55 level.

Today, European market attention, Germany Gfk consumer confidence index and the Eurozone money supply M3, observe the impact of the Euro. Swiss ZEW economic status index and investor confidence index, for reference only, believe the impact on the Swiss franc is not significant. The market is more concerned about the German unemployment rate and CPl. It will release tomorrow, and it is a strong impact on the EURUSD. Later, the revised US real GDP was even more important tomorrow. The results will affect expectations for U.S. nonfarm payrolls and could affect the Fed monetary policy decision in September, more directly affecting U.S. two-year and 10-year Treasury yields instantly.
