Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 19/04
Major Indexes were again relatively flat with earnings weighing on US markets while Europe grinded higher. The USD moved lower from the start of the Asian market session which supported commodities, namely Gold, while US short term bonds continued lower as yields edged higher. I expect the Asian markets to have a muted open with the ASX200 to open flat and HSI slightly lower and potentially see more of the same chop as the previous session.
Longer term, share markets seem to be getting a little heavy so we could see another good swing lower as traders take some risk off the table.
I remain of the view that sticky inflation is the big issue but it remains a balancing act for the Fed. Traders are continuing to anticipate the end to the rate rising cycle and may be wrong again. If the Fed stops too soon, then shares will rally and put pressure back on inflation.
Some KEY ACTIONABLE LEVELS into the Asian market session. Review of the European and US sessions and what that will mean to the price action in the near term along with key levels to watch.
