From the desk of Joe Rios
Last week the Bond market dominated trader’s focus as the World Bank cut its forecast for global growth, US retail sales fell the sharpest in a year and Switzerland’s central bank announced the ending of the exchange-rate cap, helping drive US Treasuries higher and interest rate yields lower.
The US Dollar traded higher with the US Treasuries while the S&P 500 traded lower, correlations that have been evident since the beginning of trading in 2015. The recent market sentiment has created choppy trading environment for most markets. We have less scheduled economic data in the holiday-shortened trading week. None the less, we do have the long awaited ECB announcement regarding QE plans and other central bank rate and policy statements. Corporate earnings season is at full throttle and stock traders will be paying close attention. I continue to point out to be cautious and exercise patience for ideal trade set ups, especially in the week ahead.
