ATFX Market Outlook, 2020 Mar 30
Personal opinions today:
The U.S. House of Representatives passed more than $2 trillion emergency fund bill, and the US President signed the bill into law, which had boosted global stocks. But U.S. economic and job data were weak, and investment confidence in dollar assets fell. The dollar index fell, while European currencies, commodity currencies and gold prices rose. The Michigan consumer sentiment index fell in March amid expectations of a slowdown in crude oil demand and a drop in U.S. futures prices. U.S. crude oil futures, which had dipped as low as $21.65, continued to trade below the 20-hour moving average.
In Europe today, the market is focusing on the UK consumer credit in February, the Eurozone industrial and economic sentiment index in March and the Eurozone consumer confidence index in March, and the German consumer price index in March. In addition, this week's U.S. data forecast is weak, especially the ADP and non-farm payroll. Investors are still likely to see declines in the dollar index and U.S. stocks ahead of Wednesday's ADP jobs data release. European currencies, commodity currencies, and gold and silver prices have a chance to rise. Instead, crude oil still has a chance to fall, testing a key $20 support level.
