EU Session Bullet Report | Markets have stabilized after steep selloff

At one point yesterday, Wall Street was experiencing the worse sell off since 2008, before markets rebounded and closed -1.58%. The selloff on the first trading day of 2016, started from China where stocks collapsed -7.5% and trading was halted for the day. Soon, the spillover effect was transferred to Europe where the biggest loser was DAX which closed -4.5% in the red. As a result, USD strengthened across the board, with exceptions being against the JPY and CHF which are always sought after when risk averse environments prevail. GOLD managed to climb higher to 1080 also from 1062.

Overnight, Shares in Asia have steadied after an early selloff after Chinese regulators released a statement saying it would announce guidelines later in the day that aims to regulate by major Chinese shareholders.

At this point, CHF, JPY and GOLD are the biggest winners this week, while commodity currencies (AUD, NZD, CAD, and NOK) are the weakest with markets being extremely vulnerable to OIL price fluctuation and further geopolitical tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Tomorrow will feature FOMC’s Fed minutes from last meeting at 19:00 gmt while we have the NFP standing out this Friday at 13:30 gmt.

Trading quote of the day: “No profession requires more hard work, intelligence, patience, and mental discipline than successful speculation.” – Robert Rhea
