Market unfussed

The eurozone remains stuck in its deepest decline for seven years in October which means that the good producing sector is on track to pull down GDP in Q4.
However, the figures are slightly off lows with glimmers of hope from the German data that new orders are starting to pick up for the first time in 4 months.  EURUSD staying in a 25 pip recent range for now.

Trump makes a move

The geographical battleground of the trade war is in southeast Asia.
It’s an area where China is trying to expand and solidify ties while the US is trying to beat back Beijing. There’s a military component as well as China tries to dominate the South China Sea.
This weekend, Trump skipped the ASEAN summit, which is attempting to finalize the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership — a massive trade deal.
Trump’s move to invite Southeast Asian leaders will undoubtedly raise eyebrows in Beijing and further convince leaders there that the Phase One deal will probably only be a ceasefire and that the US is planning to curb China’s growth and influence.

Analysis, Forex
The move against the US dollar was led by those currencies that one often associates with robust risk appetites, namely the Antipodean and Scandinavian currencies.  They all appreciated by more than 1%.  The dollar fell against most emerging market currencies, though the South African rand (-2.3%), the Chilean peso (-1.7%), and the Mexican peso (-0.3) were notable exceptions.  The dollar fell 0.4% against the Chinese yuan.  It was the fourth consecutive weekly decline.  Ahead of the weekend, the PBOC leaned against further yuan appreciation.

South Korea has launched a drive aimed at realizing a “hydrogen-powered society” with a series of public-private partnerships.The country will accelerate its efforts to produce hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, or FCVs, and establish the infrastructure to support them, such as hydrogen fueling stations. It will also use hydrogen as an energy source to complement oil and natural gas.South Korean companies, led by Hyundai Motor, have also started moving toward achieving a society powered by hydrogen. The country aims to be the first to popularize the new energy source.
But the path to achieving this will be long and bumpy due to the many challenges involved, not least of which will be ensuring safety. The country’s efforts are likely to serve as a litmus test for whether hydrogen-powered societies can be achieved elsewhere in the world.President Moon Jae-in has declared South Korea’s goal of becoming the world leader in terms of future car technology by 2030. He made the declaration on Oct. 15 during an event at Hyundai Motor’s research center in Hwaseong, near Seoul.
