Pound Stumbles on Budget Day


Morning Report: 07.00 London

• This morning, stock market futures are selling off heavily as the Greek crisis twists and turns. Perhaps of greater concern is the near meltdown in Chinese stocks – a theme that is putting fear into all corners of the globe.

                           

• The US dollar continues to dominate, despite the euro rebounding this morning. This is no doubt helped by the ongoing collapse in oil prices.


• The yen pairs are on the retreat as the yen finds support on the back of better than expected current account data.

                           

• The biggest mover is the Australian dollar as it catches the same cold as China.


                           

• The pound is also under pressure ahead of the summer budget.

                                                                                 
                                  

                           

• The euro is holding up well however despite a hardline stance being taken by the eurogroup.

                           

Coming up today:

• Today we have more euro group meetings running through the day.

• The UK budget is released at 12.30.

• From 13.30, we get Canadian building permits, followed by the release of the minutes from the last FOMC meeting at 19.00.
                           
Trade Idea:

The AUD/JPY  is experiencing some extreme volatility and this could only increase as the Chinese equity rout continues.

                                  
             
A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the AUD/JPY closes below 88.00 in 7 days time for a potential return of 322%.
