Fundamental factors

  • US new virus cases surged again on Tuesday. California and Texas recorded 10 000 infections each. Investors are worried that it will slow down the economic recovery.
  • The Australian new infections rose, as well. Its government imposed strict restrictions. If Australian citizens decide to go to China, they may be even arrested. It weighed on the aussie.
  • The Trump administration considers to break the Hong Kong dollar peg to punish China. In other words, they want to stop businesses from investing in the city or limiting the ability of Hong Kong banks to buy US dollars. You may think the Hong Kong dollar is insignificant for the rest of the world and you may be right. However, Hong Kong ranks the third largest USD trading center in the world after New York and London. Also, the city plays the important role of a channel between the USA and China. Just think about it, 73% of the city's stock market value is of companies from the mainland. If the USA managed to do that, it will deteriorate Sino-American tensions.
  • EU’s Brexit negotiators arrived in London on Tuesday. The progress in the Brexit deal will encourage investors to go long on the British pound.

The WTI oil has been trading near $40 a barrel for quite a long time. That proved the sustainable recovery of the oil market.  Watch out the crude oil inventories report today at 17:30 MT time. It will add the fresh volatility. If the data comes better than the forecast, the WTI oil will rise, otherwise-fall. Don’t miss out this chance!
