Trading Ideas: EUR; AUD; CAD; GBP


Good morning, London!
Here are some ideas for the session..
AUD
We start with the Aussie.

RBA

Copper ⬇️
  • Copper continued last week's downtrend. Although, be aware that today the red metal rebounded overnight.

The Day Before: #Global #equities up; #Crude #Oil Stable

  • London opened with a positive risk sentiment. News from a rise in global commodity prices certainly helped, with Aussie and Kiwi outperforming throughout the day. However, the session started with both EUROstoxx50 and Crude Oil drifting lower.
  • At 9:30 AM GMT there was, perhaps, the most expected event of the day - UK Services PMI. Surprise, surprise, despite a negative deviation, Cable still managed to turn around and make new a high.
