Hello Traders,
Thanks to those of you who joined us today. I should reiterate that the Monday Market Update is just that. A big picture overview of the markets, with a few 'charts of interest' thrown in. There are no trade recommendations, this is not a signal service, nor trade recommendations - just what I am looking at and interested in.
Today we looked at; FX STAM, US Government Bonds 10 Year Yields ($US10Y), JP Morgan Chase & Co ($JPM), and BlackRock Inc ($BLK).
Paul's Monday market update for April 7, 2025, highlighted the volatile market conditions influenced by Trump's announcements and upcoming tariffs. The Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen strengthened off the back of capital flowing to safe havens, while the Australian and New Zealand dollars weakened, confirming the risk-off environment. Key indices like the DAX and FTSE showed significant declines, with the DAX completing a double top pattern. Gold and silver experienced volatility, while Bitcoin continued its downward trend. The 10-year U.S. treasury yield dropped from 4.63% to 4.00%, potentially saving the U.S. government $63 billion in refinancing costs. The session emphasized the importance of managing risk and staying informed amidst market uncertainties.
We also covered the usual suspects: $DJIA, $NDX, $SPY, $RTY, $DAX, $FTSE, $N225, $WTI, $XAUUSD, $XAGUSD, $BTCUSD, $USD, $DXY, $JPY, $AUD, $CHF, $NZD and $GBP.
Have a great trading week, and I’ll see you next Monday at 1230.
Trade well,
Paul
