Trade ideas thread - European session 8 July 2019

 

The kiwi is leading gains but not by much on the back of a slight recovery in NZ yields and that's a similar case for the aussie as well. The dollar is mostly steady as markets are still digesting the moves from Friday awaiting more Fedspeak to come later this week.

 

The greenback is near flat levels against almost all other major currencies at the moment as narrow ranges continue to prevail in the European morning. US equity futures are down by 0.2% with 10-year yields down by just 1 bps now to 2.023%.

 

That's not really helping to give much fresh direction to traders to start the week but so far there hasn't been anything to suggest a reversal or break in key technical levels from a continuation from Friday. Let's see what the next few sessions will have to offer but the focus now remains on the Fed narrative.

 

Were markets silly to ever consider a 50 bps rate cut? Is a 25 bps rate cut even justifiable now? What are your views on the market right now? Share your thoughts/ideas with the ForexLive community here.
