Good Morning from Amsterdam where I will have the pleasure of working for the next two weeks or so.
After the Nonfarm Payroll on Friday it seems the overall consensus is that the number was strong enough to be a sign of a strong economy while not strong enough to cause increased rate or tapering pressure. The S&P 500 posted its longest streak of record closes since June 1997.
While most European PMI were positive, the Chinese was fairly bad at 50.3 after 55.1 the previous month and over night Chinese stocks came under some pressure with the health care sector losing 5% and the broader indexes app. 0.5%.
Inflation expectation in the EU are at the highest level since May at 1.6% for the five year-five year.
Opec+ cancelled talks to extend the production curbs letting Brent rise to above USD 77.
The Royal Bank of Australia leaves rates in place but reduces QE 20% to 4 billion AUD, letting AUDUSD rise to 0.7570
The USD Index falls to 92.11 from 92.74 on Friday with EURUSD rising to 1.1887, Cable at 1.3887. Gold could breach the 1800 again and Silver trades at 26.65.
Natural Gas futures in Europe are trading at all-time highs and electricity prices are at decade high levels.
Uber Competitor Didi was apparently asked to delay the IPO while an investigation was pending. On Sunday the Cyberspace Administration of China ordered a halt of further downloads.
Today the German ZEW Index and the US PMI will be of importance, in my view, only a clearer picture on tapering from the ECB and the Fed will be able to have a real directional impact. Central bank balance sheets and Indexes correlate well. Therefore the key event of the week will be the Fed minutes tomorrow.
