ATFX Market Outlook, 2020 April 3
Personal opinions today:
US initial jobless claims rose to 6.64 million last week from 3.3 million in the previous week. After the data, the Dow futures had jumped, because investors had already priced in before the announcement. However, in the face of the outbreak in the United States, business activity is facing a slowdown, the number of jobs and layoffs rose. The U.S. nonfarm payroll and the unemployment rate are likely to be over market expectations tonight, and it will be limited Dow futures gains. If Dow futures and the dollar fall, expect gold and silver prices to rise, the Japanese yen to become a safe haven and the USDJPY fall again.
Crude oil demand slowdown in the face of the global economic crisis. The United States and Russia Presidents agreed to cut output and were in talks with Saudi Arabia's oil group to cut output and keep prices stable. Crude Oil’s future for May delivery in the United States rose to a 20-day moving average of $27 after the news was confirmed, followed by profit unwinding before the European market close, as crude oil prices fell.
Today focus on the final reading of Europe's services PMI for March and Eurozone retail sales for February. Investors have expected which is weak data, with short Euro’s positions dominating the market. Investors also priced in weak U.S. jobs data tonight, which was bearish on Dow futures and global stocks in the short term, and bearish on the dollar. If the dollar fell, would be bullish on gold, silver price and the yen in the face of rising risk aversion, but bearish on crude oil.
