Under Trumps "Great Reset," with US monetary policy aligned with fiscal policy, it is believed that dollar liquidity will remain abundant, and the dollar is likely to be in a depreciation channel. In this situation, the motivation for previously accumulated foreign exchange reserves to be settled may support the RMB. A weak dollar is driving a global economic recovery, boosting domestic export growth and profits. Global monetary policy and liquidity are trending towards easing, pushing up the valuations of A-shares and Hong Kong stocks. At the same time, global funds are flowing more towards emerging markets with higher growth elasticity in search of higher returns. Catalyzed by a weak dollar and domestic policies, CICC believes that more overseas and long-term funds entering the market are expected to boost A-shares from the funding side. Structurally, the "new economy," represented by technology and overseas expansion, is expected to continue to perform well in terms of fundamentals and returns. Furthermore, driven by expanding domestic demand, anti-involution measures, and overseas demand, domestic corporate profits may improve, leading to a rebound in domestic demand sectors such as consumption.Both WTI and Brent crude oil prices reversed their earlier losses of over 1% and are now trading at $57.4 per barrel and $60.71 per barrel, respectively.

Despite the fact that Eurozone interest rates are anticipated to peak sooner, the EUR/GBP looks to have breached over 0.8630

The EUR/GBP pair has had a stronger recovery from 0.8580 during the Asian session, approaching the pivotal 0.8630 level. Despite the European Central Bank (ECB) being close to reaching an interest rate high, there has been strong demand for Euro bulls. Thus, the monetary policy meeting scheduled for next week will be of utmost significance.

 

The cross is attempting to break strongly above the significant barrier of 0.8630 for the fourth time this week. The hawkish remarks made by ECB policymakers are holding back the euro bulls.

 

"There will be another rate hike," said Constantinos Herodotou, governor of the Central Bank of Cyprus, "but we are very near to neutral." The European Central Bank's chief economist, Phillip Lane, is unsure as to whether the inflation peak has already occurred or will take place in 2019. He stated that although "much has already been done," he does not rule out more rate increases.

 

Investors are currently looking forward to Christine Lagarde's speech, which will be revealed on Thursday. The ECB President is likely to lower her inflation projection in her future statement in light of the poor retail sales numbers.

 

In contrast to expectations for a 1.7% loss, this week's Eurozone retail sales numbers showed a 1.8% decline. Aside from that, annual economic data contraction came in at 2.7% as opposed to the 2.6% consensus expectation. A decline in household demand demonstrates the effectiveness of the European Central Bank's (ECB) policy tightening initiatives. To reach their sales targets, firms could feel pressured to lower the prices of their products and services.

 

The United Kingdom's deteriorating food crisis, brought on by growing costs and a labor shortfall, has had an impact on the Pound Sterling. According to Minette Batters, president of the National Farmers Union, "the government and the entire supply chain must act swiftly." The Financial Times stated that "tomorrow might be too late." The economy already faces rising food inflation, and the issue with the supply of food will make matters worse.
