Volatile week for the markets
Today's "Look ahead" discussion revolves around a particularly volatile week in financial markets due to upcoming elections in the UK and France, and significant economic data releases, including non-farm payrolls (NFPs) in the US. Chris Vecchio of Tastylive discusses trading strategies amidst this turbulence, highlighting opportunities to trade against prevailing market fears, particularly with the euro and British pound amidst election outcomes and EU-China trade tensions.
US economic indicators
Moreover, US economic indicators, such as job data and the Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rates decision, are influencing market expectations, with potential implications for the US dollar and bond markets. Vecchio also touches on the Australian dollar's performance in relation to trade balances and global economic factors.
