Markets head for five year high

Morning Report: 08.30 London

• This morning, European stock markets are heading for their highest levels for five years as liquidity fears ease across Asia. The S&P 500 futures are currently just below right levels after a volatile session yesterday.





 

• The Australian dollar is the big mover, up 0.92% against the yen and 0.84% against the US dollar. Overnight CPI came in above estimates, potentially putting a floor on Australian rate cuts.






 

• Elsewhere, commodities continue to suffer, with silver off by 0.25% and gold by 0.11%.




 

• The yen pairs have a positive bias after the Bank of Japan elected to make no changes overnight.

 



 

 Coming up today:

• Today we have the latest UK claimant count change data, unemployment rate and MPC statement at 09.30.

• At 15.00, we switch to Canada with the BOC monetary policy report and statement. The press conference follows at 16.15.

Trade Idea:

• The USD/JPY has been going nowhere fast for the last 7 days and this could continue until next week between last night’s BoJ meeting and next week’s FOMC meeting.


 

A good way to play this could be an IN/OUT trade predicting that the USD/JPY closes between 104.75 and 103.50 in 7 days for a potential return of 117%.
