The European Central Bank raised its key rate to a record 4% on Thursday and revised up its inflation forecast for next year, but with the euro zone economy struggling, it signalled that the hike was likely its last for now.

In the aftermath of the ECB rate decision and solid US Data, the USD Soared and EURUSD came under pressure. Precious metals sold off but recovered mostly. EURUSD traded a high of above 1.0750 yesterday to fall to 1.0630 and recover to 1.0650. Silver fell from 23 to 22.30 only to trade back at 23 now. Fintwit went wild over price discrepancies between the Shanghai and Chicago exchanges. GBPUSD held above the 24 after testing below.

The  US United Auto Workers union launched simultaneous strikes at three factories owned by General Motors, Ford and Chrysler.

A market to watch is the real estate market with Swedish Giant Heimstaden Bostad is struggling to refinance and this could have significant impact if not resolved quickly.
