Dollar strength pulling indices lower

Important news for the day

Tue, 02nd, 16:00 CET US ISM Manufacturing PMI.

Important data

According to a report from the Financial Times developing countries turn away from the Dollar. Many countries had used the Dollar to borrow money for their growth. Currently they seem to turn away by using the Chinese Yuan or the Swiss Franc, where interest rates remain low. As rates are expected to remain higher in the United States the trend might continue as the trend unfolds. For the coming days, though, the strength of the Dollar seems to regain momentum. Medium term, the trust in the Dollar might erode further, especially with the Trump- led government in the US.

Market talk

The ISM manufacturing PMI data might move markets, depending on their outcome. Slight strength can be seen in the Dollar as most currencies lose momentum against the Greenback. Equities look like they want to move lower. In particular the Nasdaq 100 is showing signs of bearish momentum. Yet cryptos look like they might move higher. Currently they remain well supported but another negative push in particular for US tech stocks might cause cryptos to move to lower levels as well. Especially ETH and SOL look like they might move higher again, should another attempt of rising prices occur.
