APAC brief 26 Mar
MaxIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
Markets trade-off Friday overhang: Markets traded in something of a vacuum Monday. The themes driving price action were more-or-less those that had determined activity to end last week. The effects of this were pronounced in the Asian session, but much less so in Europe and North America. It stands to reason: Asian markets were still to digest Friday night’s abysmal European PMI figures. That data’s impact is still rippling through the market. Anxieties about global growth and the likelihood for a global recession is the topic of the day. But the material losses stemming from these concerns, though broad-based, have been limited overnight. Wall Street is down but bouncing; European stocks were down; while futures contracts for Asian markets are mixed.
Risk-off generally prevails: Fear is demonstrably higher. On balance, safety was generally sought on Monday. In something of a bittersweet development, the VIX has pulled of its lows, to trade above 16, as traders reprice volatility and risk. In the broader G10 currency complex, the Yen has been led the pack, though its rally has steadied, and it is currently shuffling around the 110-handle. Investment grade credit spreads have widened notably, as speculation about slower growth has fanned-fear regarding the massive US corporate debt burden. And finally, the overnight-drop in the US Dollar, combined with the ubiquitous disappearance of safe-yielding assets the world-over, has pushed gold prices to $US1322 per ounce.-

Technical trader? Get an insight into one Community members opinion and submit your own thoughts to continue the conversation.:
"Interesting week of price action. SP500 and Nasdaq make higher highs to match the previous level of the Dow (Fib 88% zone) but the Dow itself makes a lower high. FTSE100 & Dax make higher highs too but Nikkei and Russell 2000 have tracked similarly to the Dow."

Post in Indices
Caseynotes posted a post in a topic,
Kick off your trading day by getting a good understanding and update of what happened last week, with comentry on Community from other members:
"Weekly charts and an interesting Friday. Red weekly bars all round, it was all going good til Friday though Dax started heading down on Thursday with very poor PMIs. Then on Friday US PMIs were down on expectations though still in positive territory, and by mid-day the treasury yield curve inversion breaking news and the selling continued as longs built up over the week were exited before the weekend."
