January 26, 2018.
The dollar traded sharply higher following US President Trump remarks in Davos favoring a stronger dollar in contrast to yesterday Treasury Secretary Munchin statement. The result was volatility on all markets and big price swings in metals and dollar pairs. Gold took a 20$ swing lower on the news and the Euro took a 150 pips reversal from four year highs after climbing sharply on the ECB press conference hawkish statement. All EU markets traded lower on a stronger euro. More volatility is expected today on earnings and dollar fluctuation.
UK GDP at 9:30 and Canadian CPI at noon are the important news on the agenda Friday.
