Markets Start 2015 On Front Foot

Morning Report: 9.00 London

• After a soft end to 2014, stock markets are set to recover their poise and launch 2015 on the front foot. The S&P 500 futures are pointing to a positive session on the day, albeit from the disadvantage of a gap lower.
                                                                 

                               

• With this renewed market strength comes a re-focus on the US dollar. The dollar pairs are generally lower, while the yen pairs nudge higher. A principle factor here is the ongoing weakness in the euro which is weighed down by Greek election uncertainty.
                                    

                               
                           
                                                          
 
• Elsewhere , the AUD/USD and NZD/USD have also slipped lower.      

                              

                              

• The main yen pairs are following the USD/JPY attempting to get the rally back on track.   

                             

Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have a raft of European data points including Spanish unemployment change at 08.00, Spanish manufacturing at 08.15 and Italian manufacturing at 08.45.

• UK manufacturing PMI follows at 09.30, with net lending to individuals released at the same time.

• US ISM manufacturing PMI is the main ticket at 15.00.

Trade Idea:
• The euro’s worries have returned and the strength of the trend is adding further downside pressure.

                         

A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the EUR/USD will close below 1.2000 in 7 days time for a potential return of 193%
