EURUSD
1.1155/1.1165 resistance
1.1105/1.1095 support
European currencies could gain support as tensions ease over Iran. But the Euro fell after the dollar rose last night after the U.S. reported better-than-expected ADP job data for December. Today, markets are focusing on Germany's November trade and current account and industrial output. There were also concerns about a vote in the British House of Commons on the Brexit deal bill. If the above-mentioned data beat expectations and passes a bill to Brexit, it could bullish the Euro. It is now estimated that Euro tests 1.1105 and 1.1095 support.

In the early hours of Wednesday the 8th of January 2020, the Pentagon confirmed the attacks targeting two American bases on Iraqi soil with fifteen ballistic missiles launched from Iranian territory. According to US military sources, via ABC news networks, ten of these missiles targeted Ain Al-Assad base in Western Iraq – the largest US military base in the country, one missile targeted Erbil base on the Northern side, and four missiles failed to reach their targets. While Iraqi sources reported a number of 22 missiles launched from the Iranian soils, with no causalities reported.

The Iranian attack comes in response to the killing of the Quds Force Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, in an American drawn strike at dawn last Friday. Following the missile strikes, several Iranian statements warned the US from taking any response, which would lead to an All-out war in the region.

The US reports denied any losses in the ranks of the American forces, but hasn’t denied equipment losses. As from Tehran’s side, the reports claimed that the strike had hit the specified targets claiming the lives of 80 US soldiers.

The markets have responded rapidly, the gold recorded an increase of around 37$ per ounce as an immediate response to the dangerous development of events, as it rose from the levels of 1574 to 1611.50, an increase of about 2.3%.

bl5805_1_2.png


As for oil, the US light crude prices rose to the levels of 65.61$, a direct translation to the markets fear of supply shortages due to the escalating events in the Middle East; a vital zone to energy markets.

bl5805_2_1.png


While Brent crude recorded increases to the levels of 71.26 $, it is noticeable that oil prices rebalanced those quick gains after the lukewarm US statements. This reduction can be explained as well following the statements of the Minister of Energy in the United Arab Emirates, in which he assured that an urgent meeting of OPEC and its partners is not needed, and that OPEC is ready to deal with any new developments to maintain oil supplies and price stability.

bl5805_3_1.png


Until now, the markets are analyzing the scene as mere skirmishes between the two parties, and that the missile strike is just a limited reaction from the Iranian side to “avenge” the death of their influential military man. Until this moment, this interpretation is reinforced by the calm American reaction. Even the US President did not set up an urgent press conference to comment on the event. This might indicate that the American administration prefer to manage the situation calmly, contrary to what was expected from the US President, especially according to his previous tweets which avowed that the United States will respond strongly and rapidly to any reaction from the Iranian side on American Targets. A promise that was not fulfilled, at least not up until now.

ATFX Market Outlook, 2020 Jan 14

Personal opinions today:


Japan today reported a trade deficit for November of 2.5 billion yen. Also, the Dow rebounded to close at a high, with the Nikkei following Dow futures higher and safe-haven money flowing out of the yen. Two factors led the Asian open today, the dollar-yen through the 110 barriers. Risk aversion cooled and money flowed out of the gold market. Gold prices fell earlier in Asia, breaking through support before $1,540.

Among European currencies, the pound was weaker. The move comes after the governor of the Bank of England president said earlier that BoE would not consider raising interest rates for some time to come. Bank of England officials said the same thing last night. In addition, industrial production and manufacturing in the United Kingdom fell sharply in November, and the merchandise trade account deficit was bearish for the pound. The pound fell as investors pared back their holdings as markets waited to see if the Brexit at the end of this month would resolve key issues related to its policy.

Markets will watch the release of the U.S. consumer price index for December tonight, limiting the dollar's performance. The dollar was weak as non-farm payrolls and average wages in the United States fell in December and the market calculated that U.S. consumer prices fell in December. But if December's consumer price index is in line with market expectations for a 0.2% gain or better, the dollar index is expected to rise. If U.S. consumer prices do well, that's good for U.S. stocks. If the Dow rises, gold falls, indirectly bearish for silver. Recently, the price of crude oil continued its downward trend, falling to $58. The market is watching the economic performance of countries, and will also care about the release of the U.S. crude oil inventory change tomorrow morning. If inventories fall, crude oil prices are expected to rebound.
