Good morning all,

Equity markets have suffered losses for the second day in a row both in the European and US markets. Selling pressure has increased in the equity market after Trump's comments about tariffs against French products (as a provocative response to the internet taxation) and,especially, hints that the US is no hurry to conclude the US-China trade deal (possibly postponing it after the 2020 elections).

While USD was weakening, UK FTSE was one of the biggest losers, sinking 1.8%. The US indices set off some of their early losses. They started the spot session with (more than 1% down). (all in line with our yesterday post).

As said, the US dollar lost ground against AUD and GBP. However, it is close to ST important levels. Today, it is showing some signs of recovery.

VIX jumped by almost 10%. NATGAS and CrudeOil continued their difficult recovery after Friday sell off. Also GOLD is showing some strength, but it is trading still below 1.500.
