A heavy round of event risk from US 1Q GDP to Eurozone inflation to the BoJ rate decision has left us closer to the extremes of recent technical patterns. Yet proximity to breakouts does not ensure their progress. Interest rate expectations and risk trends have shifted, but conviction is still falling short of the level necessary to incite change.
