Brexit & Q3 Earnings report with Data Deluge.

The Market’s response to the ongoings with Brexit, Q3 Earnings Report, US-China Trade saga and Middle – Eastern tension are all familiar phenomenon, while we have expounded at length in previous articles and post. Caution is still warranted as the rewards are sweet, the losses are also very real.

It remains that until the Brexit “Deal” & The US/EU/China trade saga are resolved with some written documentation to fall on, uncertainties dominate, swinging the pendulum in favor of the bulls or bears depending on the day’s narrative and interpretation of some market participants.

The Brexit: As Prime Minister Johnson and the EU echo progress with a solution to a “Hard Brexit” (leaving the EU without a deal). Market participates flocked to the GBP and FTSE 100. Increased bets sent the pound to its highest levels in recent times. Uptrends are contingent on concrete developments else gains may be trimmed.

US & China: Following a reconciliatory tone between the two biggest world economy, which bolstered global stocks at the beginning of the week hangs in the balance after China agreed to a Partial Deal with the US purchasing more US agricultural-based produce, does not wish to continue the trade negotiations if the US does not waiver or remove tariffs from the table. Meanwhile, an open front between the EU & the US on trade negotiations persists. Rocking global stocks in tandem.

Global Stocks:

UK100: The twitter announcement from EU’s President Jean-Claude Junker confirming a last-ditch deal between the UK and EU paved way for an optimistic bunch of bulls to jump on the FTSE although the deal still needs the approval of parliament and the Irish border bone of contentions resolved. Stocks were observed up. 0.41% at 7,176.8 lurking in a range between 7,135.2 – 7,216.0

ASIAN MARKET: Were mixed most of the Australian markets were pulled down perhaps due to China’s instance that a way forward with the trade negotiation must not include tariffs from the US and perhaps from the downbeat economic reports.

A further downside could be in the pipelines before Friday’s profit-taking.

“Caught indecisive between 1,508.85 -1,522.15 do not be surprised to see abrupt slides possible to recent lows around 1,498.00 before correcting if China and the US make any advancement in the trade negotiation.”

Today Gold opened at 1,493.95 and projected to trade in between 1,487.05 – 1,499.85 If market participants feel they have been taking for a ride again with no concession to the China-US trade deal nor Brexit.
