So Friday night’s NFP didn’t set the world on fire – we’ll leave that to the Trump administration – but markets were resilient in terms of risk taking. The USD firmed slightly as Treasuries had a mild selloff but still remain firm and far away from their long term selloff point. This week should start positively with futures on Asian bourses in the green even as macro risk from Syria to North Korea creates possible dark storms ahead.
As usual for Monday mornings, I’ll take a step back and look at markets with a longer term view as my “Trading Week”.
