Main drivers of the market on September 11

The market sentiment is mixed, but still, there are some interesting movements. Let’s have a closer look.

Fundamentals

US-China tensions have deteriorated after the USA canceled visas for 1 000 Chinese citizens. Besides, Donald Trump claimed that he wouldn’t prolong the deadline for Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok’s US assets.
Yesterday the ECB held a meeting, during which it maintained a monetary policy and interest rates unchanged, as expected. The central bank also addressed the stronger euro as ECB’s President Christine Lagarde emphasized the steady economic recovery in the eurozone.
US unemployment claims came out worse than analysts expected. 884 000 Americans filed for jobless benefits last week, while the forecast was 838 000. Unlike the poor labor data, the US core producer price index beat estimates and increased by 0.4%, while the forecast was 0.2%.
Fears over Brexit talks weigh on the British pound. Yesterday that concerns were fueled by the ECB’s claim to take legal action if the UK imposes Internal Market Bill. This document was proposed by the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and it powers UK officials to modify some parts of the withdrawal agreement. As a result, GBP/USD, GBP/JPY, and GBP/CAD dropped significantly.
