Last weekend, the three major U.S. stock indices all rose, leading to a market environment characterized by rising stock prices, higher oil prices, and lower interest rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at $34,756, just $21 shy of a new all-time high. U.S. long-term bond prices plummeted, with the yield on the 5-year Treasury note falling by more than 5 percentage points. The current yield on the 5-year Treasury note stands at around 0.79%.
In the foreign exchange market, the Australian dollar has been gaining momentum again since last weekend. The AUD/USD pair has fully recovered the 100-pip decline from the day before yesterday and is currently trading around 0.773. The market is also taking a bullish stance against the pound, which is showing strength, and the GBP/AUD pair has fallen from 1.845 to 1.826.The EUR/AUD pair is also trending downward, having dropped by about 150 pips, and continues to follow a downward trend.
Today, German manufacturing orders are scheduled for 3:00 PM, the Swiss Consumer Price Index for 3:30 PM, the UK Halifax House Price Index for 4:30 PM, and U.S. consumer credit balances for 8:00 PM.While there are no other major economic indicators scheduled for today, with the Canadian central bank’s interest rate decision on Wednesday, the 9th, and the ECB’s interest rate decision on Thursday, the 10th, coming up this week, we will be closely monitoring how European currencies—which have been showing strength against the U.S. dollar—react to these announcements.
