FOMC Meeting Minutes (USD) 7:00pm

Comment: Late yesterday, POTUS called off the stimulus talks via twitter and this sent stocks crashing. Trump seemed to regret his move after seeing US markets close at lower ground. He tweeted his support of helping airlines and payrolls protection. This led to a bounce from the fall of yesterday- a bounce that is expected to continue if price trades above the resistance on 1HR.

Fundamentals:

FOMC Meeting Minutes (USD) 7:00pm

Comment: Trump's decision, announced via Twitter, to call off stimulus talks until after the Nov. 3 presidential election increased downside risks for an already shaky U.S. economy, with the COVID-19 virus still running rampant through many states, and consequently boosted the dollar as traders deserted riskier currencies. Subsequent tweets from Trump during Asian hours on Wednesday, calling for support for airlines and the Paycheck Protection Program, suggested that he may have had at least a partial change of heart, and this has changed sentiment.
