Today's News Headlines

  • There are rumours circulating that Trump is considering replacing his Chief of Staff John Kelly. This on the back of news that they do have differing opinions on some of Trumps policies, I wonder when Trump is going to realize that running government is not a television show.

Market Recap

The good news is that the US government started opening up last night as the Senate put a deal into action, this was the catalyst for the greenback to stage a mini recovery against most of the major pairs last night. I am still on the side lines this week as the World Economic Forum begins in earnest and I am still a little concerned that there could be some market moving headlines, and so I prefer to trade the indices.

The big mover yesterday was the GBPUSD, the pair moved from 1.3900 in the morning to test 1.4000, not even a small bid in the dollar could halt the momentum. The move above 1.3950 was in all likely a run on stops. A big psychological level at 1.4000 remains the major resistance for the sellers and I would not be surprised if this is where sellers start to build offers. This is the pair that I would be watching this morning.

It is covered more in the videos this morning, but I would be inclined to trade the indices this morning to avoid the possible volatility for the rest of the week.
