Building is Key

Forex Signals Brief for Oct 20: Building Permits Ahead

Posted Tuesday, October 20, 2020 by

US Market Wrap

US markets opened the session higher, but couldn’t hold onto those gains as more political worries weighed heavily.

As has been the case in recent times, the lack of progress on any stimulus is keeping a lid on markets and that will likely be the case going forward.

Stocks closed in the red along with the likes of the AUD/USD while the Greenback once again saw some buying interest.

The Data Agenda

Data is on the thin side once again today and the main area of interest will likely be US building permits.

With record-low interest rates around the globe, there is the risk of asset bubbles forming as money is already starting to flow into real estate. This will be highlighted again as building permits in the US will keep on ticking higher according to projections.

The EUR/USD will pay some attention to German PPI, but otherwise, the calendar is threadbare at the moment.

As expected, BTC has broken out of the triangle formation and popped higher. Interestingly, risk-assets have been falling, but we’ve seen a break with the recent correlation here.
