Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 23/03US Share markets indexes move lower after the US Fed raised interest rates by 0.25% as expected. There are a number of concerns that the market sees and is reacting to as risk assets take a hit. The US Fed showed concern for the banking crisis and expect credit conditions to tighten which does not bode well for growth in an interest rate raising environment. I expect that we will see more risk off trading in the coming days and will see Europe play catchup with a move lower on open in the coming session. UK CPI showed inflation is moving up which I expect will cap any rally into the FTSE100 (UK100 Index). Asian markets will open weaker to follow on from the US session.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 22/03Share markets continued to press higher as they focus on the coming FOMC interest rate release. Concerns over the banking sector are on the back burner for now and expectations for no rate rise from the US Fed may now be baked into the price action. I expect to see the Fed Reserve raise rates by 25 basis points as they still have to battle higher inflation so we may see a late selloff into the US markets. Asian markets will open stronger to follow on from the European and US sessions.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 16/03A review of the price action from the European session and the US session. European markets were hammered lower on the back of concerns for Credit Suisse and the broader banking sector. The DAX and UK100 were hit hard while the key US indexes held up well considering the fear in Europe. I expect that there may be some catchup from the US if things get worse and more comes to light as analysts take a deeper look at other banks. I continue to be of the view that sticky inflation is the big issue and will weigh on share markets if the Fed, and other major central banks, can not get it under control....this all points to more 'risk off' into major share markets.

European markets moved higher once US CPI was released and ended with gains to reverse some of the previous move down. The US was under pressure for a large part of the session only ending in green after a late rally into the close. US Data out showed inflation remains a problem and it is too early to think the Fed will pause rate rises. I remain of the view that sticky inflation is the big issue and will weigh on share markets if the Fed, and other major central banks, can not get it under control....this all points to more 'risk off' into major share markets.

Major indexes again took a big hit lower in a risk off move ahead of the Key US data release on employment.

Inflation and rate rise expectations kept the major indexes under pressure. The USD edged lower while US short term bond prices moved higher.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 7/03A review of the price action from the European session and the US session. DAX managed to hold onto recent gains while the FTSE edged lower. The US managed to open stronger and push higher but it was not long until we saw some profit taking and prices edged lower into the close. Traders continue to focus on the global economy versus sticky/high inflation and at this stage data is pointing to a resilient US economy absorbing those higher prices due to inflation. There is no fear driven selloff which shows that bargain hunters still believe in a longer term move up thanks to resilient economies so I continue to expect major swings in momentum up and down. I remain of the view that sticky inflation is the big issue and will weigh on share markets if the Fed, and other major central banks, can not get it under control.
