The dollar traded higher versus most majors as investors flee the US markets on trade war worries and weakness in FANG stocks. Most cash positions moved to the JPY yet despite dollar strength commodities led by Gold turned higher on the day. OIL prices turned lower yesterday on supply worries as Russia output hit 11 month highs, sending OIL sharply lower to close under 63$ per barrel. EU markets are set to open lower after the long weekend vacation as Asian markets traded lower on US weakness overnight.
UK Manufacturing at 8:30 am is the important news on the agenda Tuesday.
