Volatility has held up through this past week, and pairs have shown both incredible moves and multi-month (some multi-year) extreme highs or lows. The EURUSD posted its biggest daily rally in five months on Thursday; USDJPY may close a ninth consecutive weekly advance (the first since 1989); and the USDollar Index posted its biggest daily drop in four months.
For the upcoming week, we must look to see whether there is a definitive vein of risk appetite trends (an underlying driver that stokes appetite for higher potential assets from Euro and Aussie to stocks and commodities) behind these markets. If that is the case, we are more likely to see a lasting and hearty trend.
The Chinese 4Q GDP figure will start off the global readings of growth, and is particularly interesting for a global growth focus. An unusual one that we have added is a Wednesday morning coverage of 4Q US earnings which will cover the release of JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs figures. US Corporate earnings is a big piece of the global financial puzzle and can certainly define our trend.
