Equities rally, dollar trend reverses

Morning Report: 09.00 London

• This morning, stock markets have continued to rally after last night’s Fed minutes indicated that it would not be raising interest rates any time soon. The news is rocket fuel for stocks, but adds further weight to the dollar index down trend.
                                                                    

                               

                               
                                                                                                                                                                   
• The big movers this morning are gold and silver as they capitalise on the dollar index slump.

                               

                               

• Next up, the NZD/USD and AUD/USD are rallying despite poor Aussie employment data this morning.

                               

• The yen pairs are still on the back foot as money flows from the dollar into the Japanese yen.

                               

• The EUR/USD continues to rebound strongly though with last week’s plunge marking the low point.

                               

Coming up today:

• Coming up today we have the latest MPC statement on the asset purchase facility and official bank rate. No change is expected with either.

• Elsewhere we have US unemployment claims at 13.30.

• ECB president Draghi speaks at 16.00.

Trade Idea:

The US dollar index has lost its aura of invulnerability, creating some downside potential for the USD/JPY.

                               

A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the USD/JPY will close below 107.25 in 5 days time for a potential return of 200%.
