EU Session Bullet Report | Stocks collapse, Gold rises

Asian Markets have suffered steep losses over the session, as once again China growth concerns dominated the market. Stock markets dropped 7% and trading halted for the rest of the day. Weak factory surveys diminished hopes that the economy would enter the year on better footing. As a result, the JPY strengthened from this risk aversion environment and surged 1% to 119.22 against the USD. Noteworthy is also the fact the Chinese currency the CNY, weakened to the lowest level in 54 months (May 2011). Expectations show that this trend could continue in an effort to help China overcome its issues through exports which will be boosted by a weak CNY.

Meanwhile, Middle East tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran over the killing of a Shiite cleric, have helped boost GOLD (+0.61%) to 1070 from 1062. EURUSD is trading at 1.09 (+0.34%) taking advantage of the risk averse environment which most times weakens the USD. Data wise, it is a pretty busy week and investors will turn their eyes primarily on Friday’s all-important NFP report. For today, German CCPI and US manufacturing data stand out the most.
