_________________________________________________________________
UK 100 called to open -40pts this morning as worries over the US fiscal impasse continues as well as following Asian losses over night. Asian markets were mixed with the Hang Seng down 350 points as soaring property rates again caused concern that China would resort to a tighter monetary policy. The Nikkei was recently trading slightly higher however as its Central Bank governor nominee (Kuroda) said he’d do everything he could to end deflation. In the US, the Dow Jones rose 36 points to close at 14,090 whilst the Nasdaq was up 10 points at 3,170.
In focus today, will be Eurozone PPI figures expected at 10:00 this morning. Also keep an eye on figures from HSBC which are due out at 8:30 today. Analysts are expecting HSBC to report their best ever results despite the fine they had to swallow for money laundering.
In FX, GBP/USD support of 1.51 has now been broken and is currently trading around 1.502 (slightly higher than week lows of 1.498). EUR/USD showing a similar pattern, currently trading at 1.30. GBP/EUR showing no real sign of recovery despite bouncing off one week lows, currently trading at 1.155. Doesn’t look like we’ll be booking our US/European holidays anytime soon!
In Commodities, Gold still hovering around $1577. In Oils, US Light Crude broke below $92 support, maintaining February downtrend, currently trading at $90.76. Brent Crude followed suite, falling sub $110.2. Both weak on mixed macro data.
