US Economy Remains Sluggish


Morning Report: 06.30 London


• This morning, the US dollar remains unchanged after a positive session yesterday. The move is part of the ongoing preference for safety following lackluster US unemployment claims yesterday.

                    

• Markets are generally lacking a strong trend though as typified by oil prices which rose sharply yesterday, but only to test highs made days ago.

                    

• The yen pairs remain pressured, but the May recovery remains largely on track.

                    

                    

                               
                                                            
                    

• The pound came under pressure yesterday to the euro as Brexit uncertainty tipped the balance of the EUR/GBP into the negative. Most recently the EUR/GBP is typifying the back and fill trading environment at the moment.

                    
                                                                                                             
Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have European flash GDP at 10.00, with MPC member Haldane speaking at the same time. Haldane also speaks at 13.30.

• Following this we have US retail sales and PPI at 13.30, followed by preliminary UoM consumer sentiment at 15.00.

Trade Idea:

• Brexit uncertainty remains, but the pound is generally holding its end well. The same cannot be said of the Australian dollar, as the GBP/AUD climbs ever higher.

                     

With more upside potential, the best way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the GBP/AUD will close above 1.985 in 10 days time for a potential return of 119%.
