Market sentiment improves
Confidence in the financial markets is improving, with traders more willing to buy “risk assets” at the expense of traditional “safe havens” such as the Japanese Yen, the Swiss Franc, gold and US Treasuries.
While the jury remains out on whether the Summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un will achieve anything concrete, the meeting is seen as a step in the right direction after the earlier fractious G7 Summit.
Traders remain cautious ahead of key central bank meetings in the US, the Eurozone and Japan, and the looming Brexit votes in the UK are also seen as potential hurdles. However, Italian political concerns are easing and the latest UK jobs data were broadly positive.
