Trade Idea
Good morning.
Japanese Yen was weakened by risk-on mood yesterday, but wait-and-see attitude was strengthened in the US market ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting tomorrow.
I think it’s time to make a big change in market recognition, depending on trends in US long-term interest rates. In risk-on mood, US Treasuries is being sold every day due to the development of new treatments and vaccines for COVID-19, and also the progress of US-China trade talks. I think US long-term interest rates may continue to rise.On the other hand, however, as the Jackson Hole meeting is coming up, I think direction will lacks in this week.
U.S. long-term interest rates rose to 0.71% by the middle of the U.S. market, and gold futures temporarily interrupted 1,920, but the dollar returned from the middle of the U.S. market and was dominant in sales, long-term interest rates fell to 0.688%, and gold futures were 1,930.
I am looking for timing of short with a gold CFD. Now I have no positions. USDJPY that moved a lot yesterday is a wait-and-see today. EURUSD will also be on the wait-and-see in this week.
