1. Forex Market Insight  

EUR/USD 

The ECB policymakers said that they will not automatically expand their asset purchase program after the end of the 1.85 trillion-euro pandemic emergency stimulus program. Similarly, concerns about the cliff effect will not automatically equate to a requirement to increase conventional programs.

Ultimately, the ECB’s “pandemic emergency asset purchase program” (PEPP) is expected to end in March next year, and investors are expecting the ECB to increase other stimulus measures at that time to make up for the shortfall.

3. Commodities Market Insight 

WTI Crude Oil 

Fundamental Analysis: 

Last Friday, oil prices rose slightly due to tight supply caused by OPEC+ alliance supply constraints. In addition, a slight rise in U.S. consumer confidence and the California oil spill also contributed to the rise in oil prices.

However, the OPEC+ will hold a meeting soon. With this, the market is worried that OPEC+ will increase production significantly, which limits the increase in oil prices.

Until then, look out for the 21st OPEC+ Ministerial Meeting for the day.
