Information is not investment advice

Risk-on is back on the market. The US dollar is dipping down, while riskier currencies and stocks are rising.

Fundamentals

  • The pressure between the USA and China mounts. US officials imposed new restrictions on Huawei Technologies. They added to the US blacklist 38 Huawei affiliates in 21 countries.
  • China has started an anti-dumping investigation into imports of wine from Australia. In addition, this morning the RBA released minutes of the last monetary policy meeting. The tone was quite dovish. Nevertheless, even the combination of US-Australian tensions and the dovish RBA statement hardly weighed on the Australian dollar. It keeps rallying amid the improved market sentiment.
  • Traders are waiting for Washington to unveil the next fiscal stimulus. Analysts believe that now the market is not yet fully risk-on. The stimulus package will add more optimism.
