The S&P, EURUSD and crude oil and a short entry in T-Notes

Market Review Yesterday’s session was an smaller extension of Monday’s session with Peripheral European markets leading the way. The increased expectation of ECB action next week as well as positive Italian political developments lead to further upside for stocks. The S&P remained flat despite the European out performance and this is a further correction of the divergence seen earlier in the month when the S&P made a new all time high with the Dax hitting a new low for the year just

EURNOK is a strong sell

Review The EU: IFO offered disappointments in respect of all three indices, which adds to our feeling of a déjà vu of the “spring cold” over the past two years. Today’s chart is a great illustration of what we mean by “déjà vu”. The vertical lines show what happened to the IFO Expectations in the February/March statements over the past three years. It is evident that the index has weakened considerably. So far in 2013, most observers have toyed with the idea that it was not certain that the

Yesterday’s session was counter intuitive in many ways

Market Review Yesterday’s session was counter intuitive in many ways as the worse than expected April flash estimate PMIs from China, Germany and the US all showed a deterioration in manufacturing conditions, however stocks were very bullish with most of the European stock indices posted their biggest up day for the year. However, the Euro went the other way finishing down over 0.5% against the dollar and this sheds some light on the underlying driving forced of market activity yesterday. This

Sell EURUSD and bye EURPLN

Review The US: The weak PMIs yesterday indicate slowdown in the industry. The EU: The weak PMIs raise the pressure on the ECB to launch further easing next week. If so, this will increase the pressure on the downside in EURUSD. S&P: The rating agency has warned Australia. If the country does not get its deficit under control, it may be downgraded. Japan may also risk a downgrade from S&P. In Japan, particularly the low growth and the high debt level are the problems. If Japan is

We expect this to operate as solid resistance

Market Review Yesterday we had a short bias on risk but in hindsight our entries were too conservative except fro Crude which if you had rolled onto the June contract the entry short defined the high of the afternoon prior to the 150 tick sell off. The session overall was erratic with moves in both directions across most asset classes. Peripheral yields were dropping, US earnings were mixed with IBM coming under heavy pressure but Microsoft and Halliburton went the other way to offset this.

Buy EURPLN, Sell AUDUSD and sell EURNOK

Review The US: Home sales disappointed and have now been at a standstill for six months. This triggered a decline in the US equity market. And this makes today’s housing-related economic indicators more important than otherwise expected. China: PMI Manufacturing (from HSBC) declined from 51.6 to 50.5. Hence, the level has fallen to well below the long-term average of 51.7. The reason must among other things be found in the weak growth in the euro zone and the spring cold that is on its way in

The Equity space finished last week with a mixed session

Market Review The Equity space finished last week with a mixed session with initial weakness at the US cash open being reversed as a result of earnings with Google and Microsoft gains offsetting IBM weakness following a barrage of Tech earnings on Thursday night. There was no economic data of any note on Friday and so it was again Eurozone monetary policy comments that shaped the session for the Euro as Schaeuble offset Weidmann’s dovish comments from earlier in the week by recklessly saying

This week’s PMIs will be crucial

Review… The UK: Fitch downgraded its credit rating from AAA to AA+ Already a month ago, Fitch placed the UK on negative watch and the downgrade was not unexpected in that light. Moody’s downgraded its credit rating already in February and Fitch was therefore not first-mover. Standard & Poors is now the only credit-rating agency with a top-rating of the UK. The announcement weakened GBP by approx. 0.5% against EUR – we do not expect further weakening on this background. On the other hand,
