Daily Update - 19th July 2017
Yesterday proved to be a challenging day for the USD in particular as it was facing ramifications of the after effects of the Healthcare bill dying on arrival. Markets were looking at critical blows from the 10y treasury yield sliding .05%, dollar index currently at 94.23 which has recorded its lowest since September of 2016, to the Feds pricing in the December rate hike to just 43% which causes concern among investors. Direct competitors such as EUR and GBP saw a 14 month high and a 50 pip increase respectively. It was mentioned by analyst that even though there was a 50 pips spike in the GBP, the currency didn’t truly gain momentum as it was short lived when inflation reports for CPI and retail price index was released with negatives figures. The day is less than barebones when it comes to economic events that could reposition the markets. We are looking at few low-tier reports from the United States. Firstly, we will be looking at building permits reports as it will specify the number of permits that were issued for new construction projects followed by EIA crude oil stocks change which is the change in the number of barrels in stock of crude oil.
