Equity markets in retreat from best levels, after USD weakness boosted risk appetite. This comes after USD resilience reversed to 3-month lows on poor US data and increased expectations the US Fed will adopt a less hawkish narrative combined with comments from ECB head Draghi this morning which drove the EUR to 3.5-month highs. While the weaker USD is helping commodities and their related equities for a second day, after Oil’s strong bounce yesterday, the stronger EUR is hurting the DAX.
UK 100 back testing 5900 after yesterday’s 160pt bounce. DAX retreating through 9500 having encountered 3-week intersecting resistance at 9600. Wall St futures turned back from 16450 3-week ceiling. Gold made it all the way to test 12-month falling highs at $1146.
