Euro Slumps On German Sentiment

Morning Report: 09.00 London

• This morning, the S&P 500 is breaking to fresh record highs as US policy makers consider a perfect storm for equity markets of delayed interest rate hikes and sustained (if slowing) growth.

                           

• At the same time, the dollar index is on the rise after a period of pressure.

                          

• The big loser this morning is the euro with all the main pairs slipping back. The EUR/USD. It is unclear whether this fall is down to Greek negotiations dragging on or expectations for a big drop in German economic sentiment.
        
                          

                           

                            

• By contrast, the NZD/USD is on the rise after increased inflation expectations.

                           

                                                                                                                                                
Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have UK inflation data from 09.30 with CPI expected to remain flat at 0% with RPI expected at +0.9%. PPI is expected to rise by 0.8%.

•  Then at 10.00, we have German ZEW economic sentiment followed by final CPI and Europe wide ZEW economic sentiment.

•  From 13.30 we switch to the US for building permits, with Canadian BOC governor Poloz speaking at 16.45.

Trade Idea:

                           
                                                   
Gold is tucking back after flying high in recent days. There could be more downside from here and a good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that gold will close below $1200 in 7 days time for a potential return of 297%.
