Summary: USD Weak in to Month End...
Good Morning
Thanksgiving week was fairly quiet for stocks overall, the S%P 500 gained 1%, the Nasdaq Composite 0.1%, the Dow 1.3%.
EURUSD ended the week basically unchanged, GBPUSD gained 0.8%, USDJPY 0.7%.
Gold and Silver rose by 1.15% and 2.5% Bitcoin 3.4% and Ethereum 7.5%. Gold once again closed the week above the 2000 mark and traders are eager to see if we tackle the next technical levels at 2015 and 2050 or if the Rally fizzles out again.
This morning, the picture is mixed, Stocks give up some ground while the USD slips. EURUSD is 1.0957, GBPUSD 1.2620, USDJPY 148.90 and Gold and Silver are strong at 2010 and Silver 24.60.
The USD Index is trading near support – if broken there is a god amount of room to the downside . 100.90 is the key level if we break below 103.
Copper found buyers and could be interesting
Whie not very strong last week or today, Equities may be setting up for a year end Rally, as now more than half of the S&P 500 stocks are above the 200d moving average. This might be a signal for a rally outside the magnificent 7.
In Switzerland, the he big loser of the issues around Signa Group is Bank Julius Baer which lost 16% last week due to the high exposure. According to “Der Spiegel” Signa is considering filing for bankruptcy- trade carefully here and don`t catch a falling knife. Consider options if you are looking to speculate. .
This week, we are awaiting the Month end adjustments, the Opec Meeting, lots of Data with the PCE on Thursday key. Despite being the first Friday of the Month, the Nonfarm Payroll will not be released this Friday, many futures and cfd expire.
