Will Risk-ON assets continue to rally in the week ahead?
Last Tuesday the S&P 500 broke out of a key technical level following Federal Reserve Chair Yellen’s testimony and the Republicans agreeing to support legislation raising Washington’s borrowing power without additional measures attached. Global stock indices continued their rally throughout the week helping risk assets trade higher. The rotation flows came from a weakening US dollar and US treasuries as Risk-ON sentiment continued to the week’s close. In the commodity markets Natural Gas was the leader gaining 8.9% followed by Silver 7.7% and Gold 4.4%.
In the week ahead I will focus on rotation flows to guide me for selecting optimal markets to trade. Should there be a continuation of Risk-ON or reversal to Risk-OFF sentiment then I will look for opportunities for aggressive price action within the risk assets. However should the benchmarks trade in conflict I will look to trade foreign currencies.
