US Market Wrap

Markets were slightly higher yesterday, but it really just looked like the normal ebb and flow.

The main event was really the BOE and the board voted unanimously to keep rates on hold. However, they suggested the outlook wasn’t good in the short-term as the country is also battling to move the Brexit deal forward.

While there were more headlines about stimulus talks, this is little more than page filler at the moment. The falling USD is a reflection of what lies ahead if Biden gains control and markets are positioning themselves accordingly.

The Data Agenda

We are back to the UK to start the new trading day with UK retail sales the key focus early on.

Interestingly, there has been a clear Government push to encourage people not to visit bricks and mortar businesses which is no doubt an economy and business killer.

Later on, we also get the latest retail sales data out of Canada as well. While the EUR/USD will be looking towards the latest German business climate, which won’t be great as the country goes into another lockdown.
