ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 Aug 9

Personal opinions today:

Today, US July PPI and next week US CPI announcement. These are the inflation data the market is looking at. The results will show US price and inflation levels, as well as the Fed reasonable interest rate. Investors should watch the July PPI monthly performance today. A stronger U.S. PPI monthly rate could lead to a stronger dollar, extending its trend until next week U.S. CPl results. If the U.S. data is good, it will be bearish for gold and the yen, and bullish the crude oil price.

In the afternoon, data from the European region was also worth watching for short-term volatility. Keep an eye on European markets today, Germany trade accounts and current accounts. For British pound, the UK trade account for June, the monthly rate of UK industrial and manufacturing output in June and the preliminary annual rate of UK GDP in the second quarter. The British data can make fluctuations in the pound, which is the most noteworthy of the European currencies.

Today suggestion:

EURUSD
1.1215/1.1230 resistance
1.1185/1.1170 support
Yesterday, ECB economic report was likely to be bearish on the euro. Europe economy has yet to see much of a recovery, and the euro will be tested today with the release of the trade balance and current accounts for Germany. Switzerland July unemployment rate was also in focus ahead of the German data. Advice to focus on the trend of the Euro and the Swiss franc may have a temporary divergence. Also, look at U.S. economic data. If the U.S. data is weak, European currencies could see some upside. But short-term significant resistance remained at 1.1250 and significant support at 1.1170.

GBPUSD
1.2160/1.2185 resistance
1.2125/1.2100 support
The British prime minister mentions that the European Union will finally accept Britain new Brexit deal. But the European commission has said it will accept only the Brexit agreement agreed by the former British prime minister by the end of October. If the British prime minister insists on a new Brexit , the market estimates that after Brexit , the UK boundaries will be divided, which will affect the economy and negatively affect the pound. Technically, the pound is stuck at 1.22 against the dollar. If the U.S. economic data is stable and Britain has no way to deal with the risk of hard Brexit, the pound may not break through the 1.22 resistance. Britain's trade account for June, industrial and manufacturing output and the most important preliminary estimate of second-quarter GDP today. Preliminary estimates now suggest the pound is strengthening at 1.21, pending the data. Watch out for any weak data that could be seriously bearish for pound.

106.30/106.50 resistance
105.75/105.55 support
Japan July economic outlook report showed the GDP slowed, raising expectations that the bank of Japan may ease monetary policy further, possibly bearish the yen.

Otherwise, it would go down to the 105.55 support. Note that the USDJPY test 105.55 support two times , looking forward to double bottom or triple bottom is not broken, may rebound.
