ATFX Market Update - 2019.06.12

Personal opinions today:

Last week, the U.S. API crude oil stocks increased, bearish crude oil prices. With EIA crude oil stocks also expected to rise today, crude oil prices have a chance to test the $51 level.

US President Trump has said publicly that if China fails to reach the trade deal demanded by the US government, it will choose to intensify its trade war without any agreement. And Trump said he would meet with Chinese leaders at a G20 meeting end of this month. But whether the both can reach an agreement will be seen. Based on the current attitude of both sides, the market risk assessment, the dollar and the China yuan momentum is weak, the risk of flow into safe-haven assets. For example, gold, silver and yen. Equity assets may be left to other markets, in anticipation of negative Dow and global stock markets.

Today is the most noteworthy, the US CPI monthly rate in May. If U.S. inflation slows, as expected, to 0.1 percent, bearish dollar. Finally, if data in line with or above expectations could reverse the dollar's decline. Next the market will wait and see the U.S. stocks tonight and German and Eurozone data tomorrow.

09:30 China CPI annual rate in May
16:15 ECB President Mario Draghi attend Euro group meeting
