Euro asset markets have bounced off some key technical levels (especially euro equity indexes) which has been important to at least halt this recent weakness. US indexes like the dow and sp500 have made new record highs, albeit with low momentum thus far. Technical issues remain of course like breath divergences as well as lead …
Volatility across asset markets continues to be the theme. The pull back in Europe has been deeper than most anticipated but the structure of the equity bull market remains unchanged, for now. Selectivity is the theme as the tired bull struggles on. The most dramatic change has been on the bond side with is certainly …
2015 was always going to be a volatile year. US markets have stalled in terms of momentum and selectivity is rising but I agree with the Swiss team that, for now the bull trend is holding and certainly above 2077 sp500 the trend remains our friend and is higher. Europe’s sell off is entering an …

Its been another very busy week of short term currency trading. There has been stellar momentum in FX markets. Positionally its been correct to shift FX book inline with a weakening US$ to provide a warm US$ tailwind to the long book. It was correct to shift out of the US$ cash and only cover …

We have seen some “choppy” price action in both equities and FX in the last week or so but the larger trend directions are the prevailing themes for price. Unless there is a serious news development price will travel along the path of least resistance. For equities that means higher prices and for FX the …

Volatility has continued with all asset markets continuing to show large movements again in the last week. Currency markets have traded very well with very clear price signals. For my own book its been an exceptionally strong week for FX and with euro equities remaining strong and the IBEX35 breaking out strongly. I going to …
Its the time of the week for another technical run through the major world asset markets. As so often is the case much seems to rest on the decision of the world’s central bankers. The Eurusd is very extended and is affecting all asset markets. Nonetheless, it seems any manner of technical setup can be …
I’m traveling again I’m afraid so i’m going to have to update this on the move. The sell off was well flagged technically so, at the least, hedges were the order of the day on the reversal bar from last Tuesday. For more aggressive price traders Thursday provided a weak bull response setting up the …
