Forex Signals Brief for Jun 9: Markets Regain 2020 Highs

US Market Wrap

It’s hard to imagine, but only a month or two ago markets were in freefall and the global economy looked set for years of pain and suffering.

Despite a 13% unemployment rate in the US, we are now seeing the SPX, print fresh 2020 highs and the sentiment has really turned around.

Early on, there were plenty of Wall Street experts suggesting a ‘V-Shaped’ rally was a possibility and now it looks like that is exactly what has happened.

Risk continues to be the order of the day at the moment, with the AUD/USD, NZD/USD and USD/CAD all leading from the front. At this stage, there is no end in sight to the current rally and with global interest rates sitting at virtually zero, there could well be more money flowing into risk assets as money moves out of the bond market and into anything that can produce a return and or decent yield.

 

The Data Agenda

It looks like there isn’t much by way of top-tier data today, but we will certainly be seeing quite a bit of second-tier data, particularly in Europe.

Early on, we look to the USD/CHF as we get Swiss employment data, which looks to be holding quite steady comparatively speaking.

Next the EUR/USD will be busy as we get German trade data as well as Eurozone GDP. This will be a soft number no doubt, and the next quarter will likely be worse, but the markets appear to have already priced this in and most have moved on.

In the US, we get more jobs data today, but in truth, last weeks non-farm payrolls are all we need to know about.

Once again positive sentiment is the order of the day and it is really just a matter of how long this can last.
