Mild Rally After Jet Crash

Morning Report: 08.15 London

• Markets are staging a mild recovery this morning after heavy selling since mid Spring for financial markets yesterday. Geopolitical tensions have risen following the downed Malaysian plane in Ukraine and a ground offensive by Israel in Gaza. Added to this, the economic releases and news flows have been mixed, leading to a general atmosphere of uncertainty.

The S&P 500 broke the 1960 level from the upside for the first time in July, while save haven assets were in demand.
                                                                                                               

                               
                            
• The dollar index held its ground yesterday, while the Japanese yen made big gains, forcing the USD/JPY below 101.25 overnight.

                               

                                                          
                         
• There was further volatility on precious metals as gold and silver made big gains followed this morning’s reversals.

                                

                               


• 
The main risk-on pair, the AUD/JPY was caught up in the selling, but is rebounding aggressively this morning.

                               
                       

Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have Canadian core CPI & wholesale sales at 13.30.

• This is followed by Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment at 14.55.


Trade Idea:

• While there will continue to be uncertainty and some volatility over the coming days, the AUD/USD’s rebound today is notable, especially as it comes from support levels.


                               

Even in the current environment, there could be further upside from here. A HIGHER trade predicting that the AUD/USD will close above 0.9400 in 3 days time could return 190% if successful.
