QE & Rate Hike Fears Spook Markets


Morning Report: 09.00 London

• This morning, stock markets are staging a tentative counter rally after heavy selling yesterday. This sell off has been sparked by the impact of the ECB’s QE program and fears over the rapidity of a US rate hike.

                           

• The news has sent the US dollar index to new highs, helped by poor Chinese industrial production figures which have added a drive for safe havens.                                                                                                                                                              

                          

• The euro is coming in for some follow on selling this morning. The EUR/USD is down 0.40%, with the EUR/GBP down 0.38% after Draghi’s early speech failed to calm markets.

                          

                          

• Elsewhere, the USD/JPY continues to rise due to the ever strong US dollar.
                    
                           
   

• The NZD/USD is also continuing its downswing on the back of poor Chinese data. 

                          
                                                                      
Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have UK manufacturing production at 09.30.

• Following this we have UK NIESR GDP estimate and MPC member Weale speaking.

• Later this evening, the RBNZ is expected to keep rates at 3.50%.

Trade Idea:

• The euro’s down trend shows no sign of abating and as such, further down side is likely.

                          

A good way to play this is a ONE TOUCH trade predicting that the EUR/USD will TOUCH 1.050 within the next 50 days for a potential return of 144% if successful.
