Global Finance Report Weekly Market Commentary
US markets are experiencing a Government Shutdown so the bull run was put on hold. Politicians cannot seem to agree, even on a temporary fix, called a Continuous Resolution. The Government should be going through the budget process deliberatively and within time constraints. Politics is acrimonious. This happens all to often and 'crying wolf' is driving the story. The coming week is full of economic data releases, globally, although much attention will be paid to the Central Bank actions. The Bank of Japan and the ECB will both make important rate decisions, although no moves are expected, but rhetoric may change. Early indications are that the ECB and BoJ are likely to reduce QE and return to a more normalised monetary policy. The EUR trades 1.2250, while the Yen begins the week around 110.50. Commodity currencies have been major beneficiaries of the booming global economic sentiment and demand. The AUD closed the week above 0.8000, while the NZD slipped below 0.7300, off highs. Bullish sentiment is set to continue. The US Government shutdown will consume markets until a resolution can be negotiated. ... read more |  |
