TRUMP, THE FED, CHINA...

The last political scandal that has been unleashed on the president of the USA, Donald Trump continues to draw investors' attention. The president could be "impeached" or suffer political judgement just ahead of the midterm elections.

Still in the US, Wall Street took the speech of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell very well. The central banker argued that the gradual rise in rates is still adequate, since he does not see "a high risk of overheating" of the US economy.

The S & P 500 and the Nasdaq closed at historic highs last Friday and this Monday they still bubbling, partially affected by the news that the US and Mexico have reached an agreement to renew their Free Trade Agreement, known as NAFTA.

In Asia, the stock markets have ended with important rises this Monday, especially in the Chinese parks (Shanghai: + 1.77% and Shenzhen: + 2.46%) and the Hang Seng (2.05%) of Hong Kong , after the announcement of the People's Bank of China of an adjustment in its methodology to fix the daily exchange rate of the yuan, in an effort to stabilize the currency market in the country.

On Friday, according to Reuters reports, the Chinese central bank resumed the use of a countercyclical factor in the mechanism of fixing the midpoint of the yuan, around which only the dollar is allowed to fluctuate by 2%. The measure is a one-step investment made in January to ease control over the renminbi's exchange rate, when the People's Bank of China effectively reduced the influence of the so-called 'countercyclical factor'.

The appearance of Powell in Jackson Hole played against the US currency, since investors "interpreted the words of the central banker as a lack of conviction of the Federal Reserve of how much the rates can be raised," experts say at Danske Bank. The pound changes hands at $ 1.2845, with little change in the day, despite the United Kingdom having announced the possibility of a free trade agreement with China after Brexit.

In the annual minimums, it would seem that the minimums of this month coincide with the March minimums, which is why we insist that any potential figure is back in terms of the medium term, to respect yes or yes this support ".
