Hello Traders on this Friday April 15th, 2016
Good day traders as we are now in the Asia session and there is some big news as CNY has a lot of high impact data to be released. This can effect several of the currency pairs we trade like the AUDUSD, NZDUSD and the EURJPY. This could give us the catalyst for some nice trading today. I will post an update after the data is released.
OK let us take a look at what happened in the markets yesterday in the U.S. session. As you all can see in London we consolidated most of the session. The mover was mover was the AUDUSD from yesterday Asia session and CNY data, That kept this pair moving for the rest of the day.So this is what went on yesterday.
**Headlines**
- US Weekly initial jobless claims fall to lowest levels since 1973
- US CPI figures support patient Fed
- Fed's Lockhart rethinks merits of April rate hike
- Stock sentiment remains positive
- Treasury rates back up modestly ahead of another strong 30-year sale
- Delta earnings report lifts transports
- G20 Finance Minsters meet in DC for IMF meetings
**European post close highlights**
- 2NN.DE: ING said to be selling remaining stake in NN Group - press
- EO.FR: Reports Q1 Rev €4.7B v €4.7B y/y
- SAB.UK: Reportedly agreement reached with South Africa govt to approach for SAB-AB InBev merger - press
_Summary:_
The US stock market spent much of the trading session consolidating recent gains. Traders continue to eye some key technical levels residing between 2080 and 2100 in the S&P, but remain hopeful the rally can be extended. Today's bank earnings reports were not as upbeat as JPM's yesterday but did show solid loan growth, and investors continued to see value in the beaten-down sector.
Airline stocks led gains in the Transports after Delta noted advanced booking trends are looking favorable for this summer. Volumes and volatility remained at very low levels, suggesting many are skeptical of the market's recent run. Crude prices are holding in the low $40s and remain a buoy for overall market sentiment. US rates backed up for the third straight session, despite economic data and Fed-speak that only reinforced the belief they can remain patient and gradual in normalizing rates. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield has inched back towards 1.80% for the first time since April 1st.
**Markets**
- Dow Jones +0.1%
- S&P500 +0.0%
- Nasdaq -0.0%
