Forex Signals Brief for Mar 4: Stocks Fall Again
US Wrap
US equity markets continue to sell off after another session with the major indexes closing in the red.
Once again, the NASDAQ looks the most vulnerable, led by the major tech names. Whoever, the SPX is also slipping on a daily basis.
The USD has stabilised a little bit for the time being, which will slow down the volatility in the majors across the board. While the precious metals markets will also benefit to some degree.
However, it was the cryptos that were once again the big mover yesterday, with BTC leading the charge higher as price took out $50,000.
The Data Agenda
As we inch towards Friday’s non-farm payroll data, today we get to see the all-important jobless claims data for the week.
