CHF/JPY: The CHF/JPY pair is now trading slightly above the cloud. Should the bulls manage to withstand the bears’ pressure will trigger the market above the Kijun sen level, targeting the previous top with further bullish implications. A plunge of the market will lead the pair within the Kumo.
European Market View
Equity markets were higher in Wednesday’s trading session, finishing near best levels as investors bought into the message from Fed. No clear direction among sectors or styles though, with cyclicals vs defensives and value vs growth tightly bunched. Dow Jones closed up by 0.3%, S&P 500 by 0.7% and NASDAQ by 1%. VIX index ticked lower, down to 15 which is a year-low. Asian markets are joining the sigh of relief this morning, with most markets higher around 0.5-1%. US futures are broadly unchanged.
In the FX space EURUSD moved a bit lower and currently trading in the area of 1.1550. Keep an eye on EURGBP for a possible move higher on a dovish Bank of England.
