NASDAQ 100 retreats as CPI looms
The Nasdaq 100 continues to go from strength to strength as it ignores the Fed’s signals. While Jerome Powell’s moderate rhetoric has given the market the greenlight, a series of hawkish comments from his colleagues threw economists into a bit of panic as the higher for longer stance looks to continue. The next CPI will be a major market mover as a confirmed pause in rate action would fuel risk-taking in equity markets. 18000 is the next hurdle, and 18250 is a fresh resistance.
USDJPY awaits GDP data

With Japan’s interest rate still in negative territory, this could lead to a breakout. Consequently, November’s top of 152.00 may come into range.

This week’s employment rate across the eurozone is the key metric to pay attention to as a decent reading would alleviate fears of recession. 1.0600 is a key support, with 1.0555 as the next target.
