Morning Brew August 16 2022
Erik Schafhauser
Senior Relationship Manager
Good Morning,
Due to an appointment there will be no Morning Brew tomorrow.
Equities had a decent day overall yesterday while in FX and Commodities we saw a significant risk off more in the wake of the disappointing Chinese data. The Dow gained 0.5%, the S&P 500 0.4%, and the Nasdaq 0.6%.
US Yields fell, nevertheless he USD Index gained to 106.50, EURUSD 1.0155, GBPUSD 1.2037 and USDJPY 133.40. Gold an Silver sold off heavily but could recover slightly off the lows. We are currently at 1780 and 20.15. The Crude Oil contract fell from a high of 94.90 on Friday to a low of 86.85 yesterday on fears of a recession and increasing Saudi production, at the moment we are at 88.70.
A very noteworthy situation is that financial conditions in the US as well as in Europe are actually seen to loosen rather than tighten, meaning that neither the rate hikes by the Fed nor the ECB are currently achieving the goal.
