ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 September 3

Personal opinions today:

China and the United States begin to impose tariffs on each other, affecting China and the global economy. Australia, which relies on resource commodities to export to China, also has a lot of influence. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announced its decision at noon and was widely expected to hold rates at a historic low of 1%. Investors did not consider the RBA cut-rate, but it is worth watching the monetary policy forecast, affecting the Australian dollar.

Eurozone producer prices index for July are released today, and the U.S. has big data and critical report coming. The US Markit manufacturing purchasing managers index and the official US ISM manufacturing purchasing managers index for August, announced today. If the official U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI just below market expectations of 51. It would believe that the market will be acceptable, which will have little impact on the dollar. If it falls below the 50, the effect is enormous. The impact on the U.S. Dow futures market and the US dollar. The more significant impact has been volatility in global equity and bond markets, which has spread to emerging markets and currencies. So it's worth noting. The data could reflect the federal reserve's "beige book" regional economic report on Thursday and the U.S. jobs report for August on Thursday and Friday. Have to watch out for today.

The nominated to be the next President of the European central bank, and she said the ECB still has room to cut interest rates, which is the reason bearish for the Euro. The Euro lacks the momentum to bounce back the resistance, believe that there is still a chance to continue to fall, low test support. Yesterday, all France, Germany and the Eurozone manufacturing PMI final showed no significant improvement. Germany and the Eurozone manufacturing PMI readings remained below 50 in August, indicating a continued recession. For European markets today, the market focus on Eurozone PPI report, which is unlikely to boost the chances. The U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI for August was the significant focus of the market today. The US data indirectly affected the Euro. Technically, the downward trend of the Euro has fallen to a correction of 138.2%. In the absence of any Eurozone news, lower support levels of 1.0925 and 1.0895 are available for reference. Only if the Euro recovers its resistance of 1.1005 can it expect a repeat of the rally.

But a sharp fall in the US. ISM manufacturing PMI in August in today, such as below the 50, it could give the pound a temporary boost if the dollar falls.

The Australian dollar was weak ahead of the RBA policy meeting at noon. The Australian dollar has been trending lower, falling nearly to its lowest level in two weeks. The short-term resistance is subject to 0.6730, and downward support is 0.6705. If the RBA does not present any policy stance today, we hope the AUDUSD will try 0.6730 resistance. If the RBA monetary stance boosts the AUDUSD, resistance can be seen at 0.6745 and 0.6785. Conversely, the Australian dollar could dip to its low of 0.6670 in early 2019 if it considers any negative news. A fall in the dollar today could give a chance , boost to the Australian dollar if the U.S. ISM manufacturing PMI falls sharply in August, for example, below the 50.

In the past two months, Canada recorded a trade surplus, its first since 2017, boosting the Canadian dollar, which fell to 1.30 from 1.36. If the trade balance is in deficit again, the U.S. dollar could hit $1.34 to $1.35. Also, investors are advised to watch the performance of crude oil prices. A fall in the amount of crude oil would be bearish the Canadian dollar. Technically, the current USDCAD significant resistance at 1.3350. If any negative news bearish Canadian dollar, this resistance has the opportunity to break.
