Summary: Looking for Narrative
Good Morning
An interesting day in FX yesterday where the USD fist gave up ground – trading as low as 91.80 then fairly hawkish comments by Richard Calida caused a reversal. Gold and Silber tested the upper end of their trading range at 1831 and 26. EURUSD was within reach of the 1.1900. US 10 Year yields fell to below 1.15%before rising to 1.2% again.
Federal Reserve Vice Chair Richard Clarida stated "Commencing policy normalization in 2023 would, under these conditions, be entirely consistent with our new flexible average inflation targeting framework,"
Equities remained fairly strong despite Clarinda’s remarks and closed only slightly off the previous day. GM and ford weighed on blue chips. Both car makers declined, GM 8.9% and Ford by 5%. The Dow lost 0.92%, the S&P 500 lost 0.46%, and the Nasdaq gained 0.13%. Dax keeps trying to breach the 15700 but is failing so far.
Robin Hoods Options started trading and the stock temporarily rose to 85 after the IPO at 38.
The US reports 100k new corona infections, the highest number in 6 Months
Reuters released a poll of FX strategists, 63% state they are not confident that the USD will weaken in the next 12 months, and 57% expect volatility to increase
What to watch out for today? The Bank of England at 13:00 CET, no change in rates is expected but any comments on the asset purchase program will be of significance. In the US the initial Jobless claims at 14:30 CET give a little indication on the nonfarm payroll. With the delta variant on the rise, we could be seeing additional corona measures internationally.
On a hawkish statement by the BoE, Cable could rise above the 1.3900 with1.3925 and 1.3960
Citi stated yesterday a 10% equity market decline was very plausible, that will lead to some discussions.
Market participants seem to be al little on edge as we say yesterday in the FX moves, trade carefully.
