Markets Slide Sideways


Morning Report: 8.15 London

• This morning, equity markets continue to slide sideways despite the ongoing disagreements over Greece and conflict in Ukraine. The S&P 500 is still within Tuesday’s range, while the dollar index remains below the 14 day moving average.
                                                                                                                                       

                              

                               

• The Australian dollar is out performing, helped by the dollar index under performing and a firming in commodity prices. The NZD/USD is rallying in sympathy.

                              

                               

                              

• The euro is struggling by contrast as the latest round of Greek negotiations reaches crunch point.

                              

                              

• Gold continues to slide despite the US dollar offering weak resistance.

                              

 
Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have German flash manufacturing at 08.30, followed by European manufacturing PMI at 09.00.

• UK retail sales follow at 09.30, with public sector net borrowing due at the same time.

• The Eurogroup meetings are of course running throughout the day.

Trade Idea:

• The euro’s fate will be decided today, but it seems that the best case scenario may be a short term fix. Longer term, the euro’s fate is still uncertain, which could lead to more downside from here.

                          

A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the EUR/GBP will close below 0.7300 in 7 days time for a potential return of 208%.
