ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 June 27

Personal opinions today:

U.S. durable goods orders keep negatively, fell 1.3 percent in May. Which was below market expectations of a 0.1 percent decline, but an improvement from the previous month's reading of a 2.1 percent decline. Although, the data performance still shows that durable goods demand continues to decline, but there is an improvement, bullish dollar. Markets were watching today for the Eurozone economic and industrial sentiment index, the final reading on consumer confidence in Jun and the preliminary reading on the German consumer price index. If the European economic and consumer data for June and the German CPI inflation data are expected to fall, European currencies will remain bearish until the European data results.

Today, the U.S. released its final estimate of first-quarter real GDP, which the market expects to remain at 3.1 percent. In addition, in the week to June 22, the initial jobless claims, the core PCE price index for the first quarter, the real personal consumption expenditure for the first quarter, and the existing home contract sales index for May. These economic data are noteworthy and affect the performance of the dollar.
