ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 September 26

Personal opinions today:

The market waits and sees the real US GDP in Q2 final release today, and durable goods orders and Michigan consumer confidence index released tomorrow. But last night, the U.S. President at a United Nations meeting said that a trade deal with China would be reached soon, boosting investment sentiment and bullish Dow futures and the dollar rose. Dow futures rebounded over 100 points, and gold price fell $28 to as low as $1,501. The price of silver and the yen and other major currencies fell against the dollar. Crude oil futures rose after the news helped offset falling demand for the commodity.

On the data front, the final quarterly rate of real U.S. GDP in the Q2, the final quarterly rate of core PCE price index and the number of U.S. jobless claims last week are expected to be weak, which may be bearish for the dollar. The monthly rate of contract sales of existing U.S. homes in August is expected to be more than offset by a positive dollar reading. European central bank President Mario Draghi spoke during U.S. trading hours. It is worth noting that Draghi's remarks, whether the content of the ECB's future monetary policy, affect the trend of the Euro. If the dovish speech, the euro could come downward, or gold could make bullish.

Euro to dollar
1.0970/1.0985 resistance
1.0940/1.0925 support
German October Gfk consumer confidence index and ECB President Mario Draghi speech today, may affect the Euro volatility. But it's interesting to see if the U.S. data was weak today. If U.S. GDP and other economic data fall short of market expectations and technical moves, the Euro remains uncertain, with significant headwinds limited to 1.1050 and 1.1070. After the breakthrough of 1.0970 significant support bit, the next important support bit is 1.0925.

Pound to dollar

1.2335/1.2305 support
The British court ruled that the prime minister's request for parliament to adjourn was unconstitutional and parliament could resume. The British prime minister is facing impeachment by MPS and is more likely to call a fresh general election to block talks with the EU with only a month to go. In the face of these uncertainties, continue to be bearish for pound, looking at the situation in the UK, the US economy continues to grow, the pound has a chance to test the 1.22 level. First support level, reference 1.2305 support, resistance level 1.2415.

However, China did not say that the trade war situation has not wholly improved; It is believe that bearish for the Australian and New Zealand dollars.

107.35/107.15 support
The U.S. President said a US-China trade deal would soon be reached, boosting Dow and Nikkei futures, while the dollar continued to rebound against the yen. Break 107.35 resistance level, challenge 107.85 resistance. But with U.S. GDP today and expected weak U.S. economic data over the next two days, the Dow's rally could end, and the dollar could fall against the yen. Technical may drop 107.35 and 107.15 support.

U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar
1.3290/1.3310 resistance
1.3225/1.3205 support
A rise in crude oil prices helped support the Canadian dollar. The market is looking for progress in the trade minister talks, indirectly supporting the increase in crude oil prices and the Canadian dollar. Technically, the initial target is 1.3225 and 1.3205. But at present, the oil supply and demand situation is not clear, and the crude oil price falls the momentum, proposes the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar 1.3225 and 1.3205 support, looks above 1.3290 or 1.3310 resistance

US crude oil futures
57.55/58.05 resistance
56.05/55.55 support
Crude oil futures rose after the US President said a trade deal with China would be reached soon. Beyond politics and progress in trade talks, crude oil prices could be bullish. However, the market predicts the U.S. economic data is weak today and tomorrow, crude oil prices will be bearish. The final U.S. Q2 GDP and other data are expected today. Expect weak U.S. Durable goods orders and Michigan consumer confidence data tomorrow, keeping an eye on downside risks to crude oil prices.

Gold
1520/1522 resistance
1505/1503 support
Gold prices fell as the Dow future rebounded on comments from the US President that trade relations were improving. But the UK faces the risk of a Brexit, a slowdown in US economic data today, comments from the European central bank President and downside threats to Dow futures could help bullish gold prices.
