Daily Market Analysis – Will Markets Hold True to Form?

26/08/2013

Namely, will the markets maintain the established trading range thus far in 2013?  More specifically, we have the GBPUSD, EURUSD and the USDCHF that are testing their boundaries.  Regarding the US stock market, the last time we saw margin-debt at current levels, it was followed by a major correction to the downside. History isn’t necessarily a guide as to future events but it is a cause for caution.  For those interested in a more in depth analysis, we at CM Trading are here to assist those who are interested in profiting from the financial markets. Below are the charts and the day’s economic events to better understand the current short term trends in some of the different markets.
