ATFX Market Outlook, 2020 Mar 25

Personal opinions today:

The federal reserve to launch an unlimited quantitative easing (QE) monetary policy. Dow futures rallied more than 2,000 points last night, their biggest one-day gain in 87 years. In response to the news, some safe-haven funds fled U.S. dollar assets, the dollar fell, European currencies received buying support. Under the unlimited QE, commodity prices rallied sharply. Crude oil futures bounced $5 off their lows, while spot gold and silver rallied sharply. Spot gold had risen to $1,638 and futures as high as $1,663. Spot silver rose as high as $14.72, up 26% from Wednesday's low of $11.63. Now, the Fed monetary easing, other countries are expected to follow suit, with the Bank of England meeting tomorrow night and the Swiss national bank's quarterly report and the Bank of Canada holding a two-day financial service meeting from tonight. The British pound, the Swiss franc, and the Canadian dollar may face downward pressure as investors watch central bank policy adjust accordingly, the euro may fall.

Gold and silver prices rose, though, in anticipation of a massive monetary easing by the Fed. But the rally in gold and silver prices is expected to stall as investors consider selling gold and silver for higher-yielding, lower-value quality stocks. As a result, the federal reserve is more likely to introduce an unlimited amount of money if congress passes the bailout fund. When equity markets rebound, gold and silver prices are likely to fall. However, under the global easing policy, crude oil prices are expected to try again $28-29 dollars.
