Morning Juice – US Session Prep
Morning, Traders!
It is Monday the 1st of July, here are some things to look out for today.
Sentiment
European stocks recovered from a four-day losing streak, and the euro strengthened, as investors saw the French election results as a sign that the country could be headed for political gridlock.
Traders interpreted the first round of voting as indicating that Marine Le Pen’s far-right party faces a more difficult path to an absolute majority, implying that policymakers have a lower chance of enacting extreme policies that would rattle financial markets. The 10-year spread between French and German debt fell to a two-week low.
S&P 500 and the dollar little changed premarket, ahead of data this morning that will give insights into the US manufacturing sector.
