By Content-mgr - on January 8, 2019

Without any concrete concessions, Market participants had excitedly jumped on the bandwagon that trends were going to surge with the US & China back at the table and perhaps the prospects of future US rate hikes were put on a slow burner. Unfortunately, the trends could not carry the sentimental burden much further without a challenge.
Although Global markets rallied most of them disappointed by not reaching their intraday target. Fumbling along the way as investors considered the outcome of the status quo.
Today’s calendar is fully loaded with sentimental indicators such as the EU Consumer Confidence, Service Sentiment, Industrial sentiment to name a few. Meanwhile, the US will be releasing stats on its Job Openings (JOLTS), API weekly Crude Oil stockpiles, Imports & Exports to gauge the strength of the USD.
