World markets rallied hard yesterday as after the worst sell-off since 2015. The question now remains whether this will prove to be a dead cat bounce or the catalyst for renewed highs. On forex markets, the dollar has continued to weaken after a volatile session yesterday. Some traders are betting that Monday’s reaction might be enough to stave off a rate hike in the fed.
Dollar pairs are mixed, with the GBP/USD and EUR/USD rallying and building on yesterday’s gains. By contrast, the AUD/USD is struggling again after yesterdays tentative rally.
The pound is showing some fight, though is still the worse performer this week. The EUR/GBP is slipping lower, though has some way to go to reverse the week’s gains.
The yen pairs continue to be mixed, with the USD/JPY reversing this morning as the dollar loses out the yen. The AUD/JPY is the day’s worst performer after an impressive bounce yesterday. The GBP/JPY holding up well, building on yesterday’s gains.
Gold is higher today after yesterday’s losses.
Coming up today

A good way to play this is a LOWER trade predicting that the USD/JPY closes below 108.50 in 14 days for a potential return of 168%.
