EUR/USD
The EUR held onto it higher ranges on Thursday. As the evening progressed the Single Currency gave back some of its higher values, but in early Friday morning trading the EUR has gained again. The German GfK German Consumer Climate report came in slightly better than expected, but it is the Greek saga and overall E.U. Sovereign Debt scenarios that continue to lurk in the shadows. The EUR has surprised some analysts with its short term strength and the big question emerging today is how traders will position themselves with the weekend approaching. M3 Money Supply figures will be released shortly for the E.U and this result will get some attention.
Gold
Gold broke upwards again in early trading on Thursday. Gold finds itself around 1722.00 USD as of this morning. Gold has broken its consolidated values and that occurred not coincidentally as the USD weakened after the Fed’s FOMC Statement on Wednesday. The volatility in the precious metal has been a one-way street this week and it will prove interesting today to see if all that glitters will retain its shine.
Oil
Crude Oil has languished in recent trading as its consolidated values have shown little desire to budge. Economic data from the U.S. and elsewhere remains weak and this certainly has put a dampening effect on the commodity even as the political situation in the Middle East remains tense. Crude Oil has enjoyed two solid months of a strong range, but the lingering fragile investor sentiment may be producing headwinds.
S&P, NASDAQ, DOW
Wall Street slumped on Thursday after a few days of gains. U.S. data proved a mixed bag on Thursday as weekly Unemployment Claims proved disappointing, but Core Durable Goods Orders showed a stronger number with a 3.0% gain compared to the estimate of 2.1%. Today the U.S. will release its Advance GDP numbers and the expected gain is also 3.0%. The GDP number for this month will prove noteworthy for investors who remain skeptical about growth.
