PMI data
Today, traders will focus on the various PMI data as well as the interest rate decision of the ECB. No adjustment in rates is being expected. This might hence support the EUR and could cause the common currency to rise further. The Dollar might hence lose some steam against other currencies as well. The PMI data from two important European countries came in- line with expectation, which continues to support markets. The German DAX has not been responsive so far but shows small signs of potential profit taking.
Market talk
The Dollar continues to lose some steam and markets might still be influenced by the positive risk sentiment. Yesterday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq continued to push higher. Furthermore also the AUD is moving upwards, which also shows the positive risk momentum. Vice versa crypto markets seem to show some signs of profit taking. Especially altoids like XRP, Solana and Dogecoin are facing profit taking currently. It will be interesting to see how this week will end to determine the future trend.
