UPGRADEHere is what you need to know on Thursday, September 1:
No end-of-month rally on Wednesday as an early higher open was quickly absorbed, and selling pressure resumed. The effect of Jackson Hole is still being washed through financial markets with a soaring dollar and falling equities the main themes. Equities did try to open positively on Wednesday but soon found sellers waiting. Equities do have some potential this morning with oil prices continuing their decline and risk appetites being lightened ahead of Friday's employment report.
The dollar though remains on a charge and is above 109 for the dollar index and aiming for 140 for the dollar-yen. The recent rise in bond yields is helping, and also fears over China's economy have not helped Asian currency pairs. Gold is at $1,702, and Bitcoin looks like it is losing its grip on $20k as it trades just under $19,900. Bitcoin holding $20,000 was the canary in the coal mine for the summer risk-on rally ending, so this is more significant than you might think.
European markets are lower: Eurostoxx -0.7% and both Dax and FTSE are -1%.
US futures are also lower: Dow and S&P both -0.4% and the Nasdaq -0.7%.
