USD: The USD did gain slightly but only against the weaker currencies and its unknown if can manage to hold the gains. Traders are awaiting the data for the JOLT's new openings and if the are better than expected, the USD may be supported. We remain cautious against the dollar.
JPY: Gained a bit against all currencies, but this is just temporary. The BoJ remain accommodative and we remain short against the Japanese currency.
AUD: Remains strong despite the negative ton from the RBA from the latest rate meeting. The price of Iron Ore has climbed around $64 and this supports the price of the currency. AUD is now even stronger than the NZD. We will look for good levels for positioning long against the AUD.
Indices: Continue to climbed without specific issues, as the banks await for the higher rates, as the investors continue to expect a higher corporate profits during Q3. Most traders think that there is the possibility that FED may not increase the rates for a third time this year, due to the weak inflation and the relatively low price of Oil. We continue to remain long of the indices, with the Tech sector and Nasdaq being the favorites.
