Anxiety is still high for currency and capital market traders, but fundamental sparks have struggled to spur more than short-lived volatility. This past session was marked by new warnings about Greece's bailout bill, an earnings miss by one of the stock market's most important players, a much better-than-expected UK GDP figure and RBNZ Governor Wheeler taking an abrupt turn on policy lean. A spike in activity followed each of these developments, but each time the market settled before a trend commitment was made. What is the market waiting for? The S&P 500 has made its critical break; yet EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD and others have yet to concede to the shift in sentiment. Traders are waiting for something - and that something may be the upcoming US 3Q GDP figure.
