Market Commentary

EU and US equity markets remained in range-bound trade throughout yesterday’s session. Stronger US ISM Non-Manufacturing report for July failed to turn the negative senti-ment around and US equity indexes finished the day near the lows of the session.

Risk-off sentiment has been predominating so far this ses-sion. In addition to the continuation of geopolitical concerns surrounding the buildup of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border, weaker EU data is prompting broad risk aversion.

Taking into account the limited flow of data for the rest of the session, the current downbeat sentiment has the scope to es-calate following the US cash open.


Intraday Strategy: E-mini S&P

For today’s session our strategy is to sell into a pullback to the piv-ot, aiming for a follow through to sub-1900 levels.
