The return of liquidity hasn't brought with it a revived optimism. Risk aversion intensified across for Yen crosses, global equities and other assets considered among the 'riskier' sort. Is this what is to be expected from 2015? Can we make a call on such an important and systemic market shift on the first full day of liquidity in the New Year? Rising volatility is certainly not new - we have seen activity levels (some would say 'fear') trend higher over the past six months and hold out surprisingly well through the holiday period. Yet, the breadth and focus of the swell in activity on risk aversion is unexpected. If the fuse is already lit, the trade potential is enormous. If not, it may give an opportunity on trades that look like they have already launched. We look at the market's first moves of the New Year in today's Trading Video.
