  EU Session Bullet Report

US stocks closed mixed overnight and Asian equities are trading almost flat this morning. Crude oil surged to monthly highs at 49.35 which has dragged USD/CAD much lower to 1.3015 levels from 1.34+ just a week ago. USD weakness is predominant in all currencies of the commodity bloc such as AUD and NZD which are helped by a surge in Gold prices. Gold surged to new highs at 1149. Next resistance is at 1170. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback’s strength against a trade-weighted basket of six major currencies, was down 0.05% to 95.48.

Yesterday, further weakness in US Economic data through lower than expected ISM manufacturing data. USD is under pressure as the jobs data on Friday underlined fears that a slowdown in global economic growth has spread to the US. As a result speculation as to the timing of the first interest hike is shifting to 2016. Watch out for any US economic releases to set the tone for the USD versus all other currencies.

Highlights for today are German and UK industrial production as well as US Crude Oil Inventories.
