Sterling, Dollar and Euro were the major focuses last week as they took turn in suffering selloffs. The Pound was pressured by increasing worries over no-deal Brexit. While it ended the week as the weakest one, late recovery argues that the worst could be past for Sterling for the near term. Similarly, Dollar ignored solid economic data and declined on Fed cut expectations. But then, there was no follow through selling towards the end of the week. Late fall in Euro, on the other hand, suggested that more downside is in favor in the common currency for this week. In other markets, US stocks seemed to have topped out in near term with DOW, S&P 500 and NASDAQ pulling back from historical highs. FTSE and CAC stayed in familiar range while DAX gyrated slightly lower. Nikkei ended slightly lower after a roller coaster ride. Gold broke out of range to high as high 1452.94 but pulled back into range at close. WTI crude oil's pull back from 60.93 was deeper than expected and looks heading back to 50 handle. |
