Market sentiment analysis:
- All eyes in the markets at present are on the latest US corporate earnings, economic data and the US interest rate decision at the end of the month.
- Confidence is mildly positive, with no great demand for safe havens such as gold and continuing demand for stocks.
Market sentiment modestly positive
Trader sentiment remains broadly positive, with stock markets hitting new highs and no great demand for safe havens such as gold, the Japanese Yen and the Swiss Franc. However, Sterling is sliding and the US Dollar is creeping higher.
