Trader confidence wavering

Traders are not confident at present, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 all off their highs.

Elsewhere, the gold price seems to be stuck below $1,800 per ounce while Bitcoin is also failing to rise. However, the crude oil price is benefiting from fears that the next tropical storm could damage crude output in Texas.

In this webinar, I looked at the trends in the major currency, commodity and stock markets, at the forward-looking data on the economic calendar this week, at the IG Client Sentiment page on the DailyFX website, and at the IG Client Sentiment reports that accompany it.
