The President lost his patience | | | | Hello! My name is Nicholas. I am a financial analyst from the OctaFX team. | | | | This week, we should pay special attention to the U.S. dollar as the release of recent statistics and executive decisions may significantly impact its price. | | | The negotiations regarding the new stimulus package for the U.S. economy failed in Congress last week. President Trump followed up the failure of the bill, announcing measures to bypass Congress. President Trump said, he has ordered to provide 'an additional 400 USD a week in extended payments' to the uneployed citizens. Democrats are furious with this decision and have called on Republicans to head back to the negotiating table because these measures would have almost no immediate impact. | | | Friday's payroll report, while better than expected, still does not demonstrate that the U.S. economy will be recovering soon. | | | Markets were further impacted by President Trump when he disclosed bans of Chinese apps, WeChat and TikTok. China responded to the actions by stating that these companies followed American laws and warned that the U.S. would have to 'take responsibility' for its actions. | | | | | CNY: Consumer Price Index | | | | GBP: ILO Unemployment Rate (3M) | | | | NZD: RBNZ Rate Statement GBP: Gross Domestic Product USD: Consumer Price Index Ex Food & Energy | | | | AUD: Unemployment Rate EUR Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices | | | | CNY: Retail Sales EUR: Gross Domestic Product USD: Retail Sales USD: Reuters/Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index | | | | | | The Nasdaq-100 index is attempting to recover this morning after falling 2% last Friday. The S&P index is at its pre-pandemic highs and poised to climb higher. | | | The U.S. dollar continues to strengthen somewhat versus the euro, pound, and yen. Investors remain focused on a possible stimulus bill in the U.S. Congress. | | | The Gold 'rush' has subsided and nearly achieving 2,080 USD. The price has since dropped to around 2,030 USD. Gold is likely to stay above 2,000 in the mid-term. If not, we can expect it to fall towards 1,975 USD. | | | Oil prices rose Monday, aided by Saudi Arabia's optimism of newfound Asian oil demands and Iraq's promise to reduce production. Although, uncertainty over a deal to strengthen the U.S. economic recovery has limited its growth. | | | | | Trade in our app | | | | Business license no. 19776 IBC 2011 | Registered address: Suite 305, Griffith Corportate Centre, Beachmont, Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines | © 2020 Octa Markets Incorporated | | | | |
