ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 Nov 27

Personal opinions today:

The US President said that China and US trade deals were close to finalising the first phase, lead to drafting a text. The market is predicting that if the agreement is implemented soon, the U.S. government will probably suspend the threat of additional import tariffs worth $150 billion to China and promote economic development. The news lifted Dow futures again to a near half-year closing high, offsetting yesterday's weak US economic data. But consistently, U.S. economic data has been weaker than market expectations, potentially affecting the Fed’s monetary policy. The dollar index adjusted gains, gold and silver prices rose, European currencies rose slightly. U.S. API crude stocks were declined compared with last week, but still higher than market expectations, with US crude oil prices limiting the $58.50 resistance.

This evening, the final reading of real U.S. GDP for the third quarter, weekly jobless claims, October durable goods orders and the core U.S. PCE price index will provide valuable guidance for the U.S. economy in the first part of the fourth quarter and are more likely to influence market views of the federal reserve's December 11 monetary meeting. So investors will find an essential clue in the Fed Beige Book-report on the state of the economy at 3 a.m. tomorrow. Stock markets, gold prices and the dollar index are expected to fluctuate between the start and end of today's U.S. trading session.

This weekend is the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday; investors need to consider investment institutions may use the holiday positioning, various asset prices may reverse the trend.

Germany's Q3 GDP came in better than expected after showing limited growth in the euro zone's largest economy by 0.1% QoQ and 0.5% YoY, showing a consolidation in the economy after GDP growth slowed in the second quarter of this year, it was essentially -0.2%. The main reason for the markets was for the index to contract for two consecutive quarters to technically enter the recession, which did not happen.

Perhaps most important in the GDP details to note the following two main points:
First, the labour market has improved overall
The index reveals that the total number of employees in the German labour market reached 45.4 million. This represents an increase of 356,000 employees, or 0.8%, over the previous year. Which is puts the number of workers at the highest level since 1990. It is also remarkable that overall labour productivity improved substantially from the level of the previous year. After labour productivity rose 0.2%.
The improvement in the German labour market extended to the other hand, where total wages and salaries of employees increased by 4.3% compared to the third quarter of 2018, as well as net wages and salaries increased by 4.7% on average, and given the change in wages salaries per worker, we will note that wages and salaries per employee did not rise that much, only increased by 3.2% in growth and 3.6% in net terms. This softer wages and salaries increase per employee can be explained by the rise in the total number of employments, which grew by 1.0% compared to the same quarter a year ago. While household disposable income increased by 3.4%, it is almost the same as the rate of increase in household final consumer spending at current prices 3.5%.
Second, improved consumer spending saved the German economy from recession
Looking consumer spending at the quarterly comparison, it had a positive impact on the improvement in the GDP reading. Also, the fixed capital formation in the construction sector grew significantly from the previous quarter by (+ 1.2%). Fixed capital formation on R & D expenses also rose 1.0%. The growth of foreign trade has made a positive contribution to economic growth. Exports rose 1.0% in the second quarter of 2019, which saw a sharp decline in commodity exports. While the imports in the third quarter of 2019 remained almost in the previous quarter level.

ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 Nov 28

Personal opinions today:

The final reading of U.S. real GDP in the third quarter was 2.1%, up sharply from 1.9% in the previous report. Besides, the jobless claims fell to 210,000 last week, a significant improvement from the past two weeks. The only disappointment was a drop in personal income and consumer spending, coupled with a lower than an expected PCE price index. The market has been watching the U.S. economy as a whole, depending on the Fed monetary policy direction. This morning, the Fed Beige Book economic report noted that the U.S. economy expanded modestly between October and mid-November, with an optimistic outlook for overall economic growth, a still-tight job market across the country and modest upward pressure on wages. The report said consumer spending was stable to moderate in most of the 12 federal jurisdictions, while retail and manufacturer costs rose in some areas, some citing tariffs. These factors support Dow futures continue to create new highs to close. But with the long U.S. Thanksgiving holiday expected this weekend, investors and investors are cautious and retail sales likely to reposition ahead of the holiday season, which could limit gains in dow futures and asset prices.

ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 Dec 3

Personal opinions today:

Germany and the Eurozone manufacturing PMI rose in November from the previous month, supporting the Euro yesterday. Separately, the UK manufacturing PMI also rose in November, supporting the pound. While the U.S. Markit manufacturing PMI rose in November, but the ISM manufacturing PMI fell deeply in November and disappointed the market. Coupled with the lack of progress in U.S. and international trade talks, the federal reserve has continued to cut interest rates, and the dollar index has fallen amid concerns that US and China trade talks failed to reach a consensus in December, raising the prospect of a recession next year.

ATFX Market Outlook, 2019 Dec 4

Personal opinions today:

The Australian dollar rebounded after the RBA decision to keep interest rates unchanged improved bearish sentiment. Switzerland's consumer price index continued to show negative growth in November, and the Eurozone PPI was flat in October from the previous month. France government budget did not deteriorate in October, boosting the Euro and other European currencies. The mood has turned pessimistic amid growing pressure from Washington on international trade, fears that a US and China trade deal has not been finalized soon, and renewed concerns about raising tariffs on other countries. Generally, December is the month when financial institutions and funds begin to settle their investments. If the investment climate changes, the market moves sharply.

The performance of economic data is also a key gauge of market sentiment, with European trading today focusing on the final reading of Germany's November services PMI and the UK's November services PMI. Markets are now expected to be flat last month, hoping for a surprise that will further boost the Euro and pound. Another market focus tonight will be U.S. ADP payrolls for November. The data is related to non-farm payrolls and could extend to affect the dollar and even major currencies against the dollar as well as Dow futures, crude oil and gold price.
