Market Report

Market participants may be on alert due to the overlapping release of economic indicators during U.S. trading hours

Today's Highlights
  1. U.S. Retail Sales
  2. UK Employment Statistics

Yesterday, stock prices in both European and U.S. markets were mixed, resulting in a market characterized by flat stock prices, flat commodity prices, and rising interest rates. Gold, which had plummeted alongside the rise in the U.S. dollar, recovered to half of its losses and is currently trading around $1,862. The fear index (VIX) rose slightly to 16.39.

In the foreign exchange market, the pound is regaining momentum, and the GBP/JPY pair is currently attempting to rise, hovering around 155.37. From a technical perspective, the pair has already broken above the downtrend line on the 4-hour chart, and depending on the results of today’s UK employment data, further gains are possible. However, the UK has just decided to extend the lockdown—which was scheduled to end on the 21st of this month—by four weeks, and the situation regarding the containment of the COVID-19 outbreak remains far from certain.

Today, at 3:00 PM, UK employment figures and German CPI will be released; at 3:45 PM, the final French CPI will be released; and at 6:00 PM, the Eurozonetrade balance, US retail sales, the New York Fed Manufacturing Index, and the US Producer Price Index at 9:30 PM US time, Canadian existing home sales at 10:00 PM, US industrial production and the US capacity utilization rate at 10:15 PM, and US business inventories and the US NAHB Housing Market Index at 11:00 PM.I will be closely monitoring today’s economic releases to see if they bring any changes to the current trend.
