Overnight

Economic Indicators Released Yesterday

Rate cut expectations drove equities back up again yesterday, after Friday's nasty sell-off. Markets are now (yet again) hoping for 3 rate cuts this year, despite Powell's refusal to consider it. 

Tariffs continue to distort economic data points, as if they needed any more distortion.

The shooting star is still in charge of price action, but a nice bounce yesterday. 

BITCOIN/USD Daily

Commodities

Gold coiling for a push higher. A close above $3,430 would confirm.

GOLD/USD Daily

Foreign Exchange

USD bounce on the DXY may not be too convincing but for those that need to buy USD, there are many, it's looking like a good time to buy.

Equities

The bounce back on the NASDAQ is great but confirming above 21,000 is key.

NASDAQ Daily

Bonds

Confirmed break lower in yields as Friday's numbers/BLS shake up put economic data points in question, and anecdotal evidence of recession comes in focus. Loan delinquencies, CRE, housing stock, BNPL etc etc
