Most internal metrics with stocks are still on the defensive but the volume ratios are hanging in there so I would not discount the potential for stocks to hold near or below current levels and the Euro in tandem. Shorts in Eu and Aud were exited this morning. Overall risk on remains but not strongly to this point. Preference at Monedge is the long bias when appropriate unless there is widespread adjustment.

Market is on the defensive EU, Usd/Jpy is at a standstill. Exporters want the BOJ to keep markets stale. Two year US Note looks enticing for the bid side into the selling.

Noting put to call ratios in stock options have creeped in since Friday putting a little pressure on performance.

World markets, heady on hopes for renewed U.S. disinflation and another attempt by China at shoring up its ailing housing sector, entered the new week on the front foot as attention switched back to the artificial intelligence boom.
This is a term I coined to identify a forex trading pattern that I watch out for each week. I call it the Monday Effect and when it plays it, there are usually significant moves in the market. So, you need to be aware of the Monday Effect, which I reveal in the following article…
