Traders are likely to be scratching their heads after the release
of a very strange employment report from the United States for February. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html
The United States added only 20,000 jobs to its economy last
month, which is a stunningly low figure but it has been joined by other data
that paints a more encouraging picture. For example, hourly earnings on an
annual level increased by 3.4% - which is an impressive number to cap off an
odd economic release.
We wonder whether investors will digest the figure off the back of
a disappointing retail sales release in the past couple of weeks as an
indicator that the global economic slowdown narrative is sneaking its way into
the world’s largest economy. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html The initial selling reaction in the Dollar Index
just one day following a downbeat ECB alerted the Dollar divergence trade
suggests as much.
This financial market is overall proving a very difficult one to
play, but if we had to pick a side we would still favor the Greenback – in
spite of this odd jobs report. The data from China this morning was concerning
and suggests economic weakness in emerging markets in the months ahead; while
the ECB has made no secret of the fact that the Eurozone is very much remaining
in its place as the “weak link” in the developed economy. http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html At the same time, Oil
has dropped close to 3% as fears over slowing global growth remain high.
We prefer to maintain a negative view on global stock markets as
concerns over slowing world economic momentum show no signs of deceleration,
while we also do not want to touch the Pound with the Brexit clouds so thick in
uncertainty with no one having any idea of what could, or could not happen,
with the United Kingdom potentially crashing out of the European Union over the
next couple of weeks.
There is no disputing the thick smoke of doom and gloom that is
being painted across financial market headlines overall, and although
indications of an economic slowdown are also being felt in the United States,
the US economy does overall still appear to be in better shape than its global
counterparts and the Dollar still looks supported in a very confused market.
