Messy Markets

Messy Markets Post Fed

Morning Report: 08:45 London
• After a volatile reaction to yesterday’s Fed meeting and Yellen press conference, markets are messy this morning. Stocks are recovering from the morning lows and yesterday’s sell off while, the dollar index holds yesterday’s monster gains.
• Silver is so far this biggest mover as traders react to the prospect of a US rate hike coming sooner than previously expected. By contrast, gold is inching higher after yesterday’s heavy selling.
• The pound is performing well today though as traders digest the finer points and impact of yesterday’s budget. The GBP/USD saw some heavy selling yesterday, but this appears to have been largely driven by dollar strength.
• Generally the dollar pairs are mixed after heavy selling yesterday.

Coming up today:
• Coming up today we have US unemployment claims from 13.30, followed by existing home sales & the Philly Fed manufacturing index at 14.00.
• MPC members Weale speaks at 16.30, while the US bank stress tests are released at 20.00.

Trade Idea:
• Gold has been hit hard lately, but yesterday’s sell off seems to have pitched the precious metal into over sold territory.
A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that gold closes above $1350 in 7 days time for a potential return of 215%.


Note: This is presented as an idea to stimulate fixed odds financial betting ideas and is not financial advice.
