Forex Today: Stocks, Commodities Sell Off

By Adam Lemon

Adam Lemon began his role at DailyForex in 2013 when he was brought in as an in-house Chief Analyst. Adam trades Forex, stocks and other instruments in his own account. Adam believes that it is very possible for retail traders/investors to secure a positive return over time provided they limit their risks, follow trends, and persevere through short-term losing streaks – provided only reputable brokerages are used. He has previously worked within financial markets over a 12-year period, including 6 years with Merrill Lynch.

The minor risk-on rally quickly soured as concerns over inflation and interest rates just won’t go away

  • A small rally in stocks and other risky assets quickly reversed yesterday, with stocks and commodities (especially agricultural commodities) declining firmly and the US Dollar rebounding after a selloff.
  • The Forex market is currently seeing a strong US Dollar, back in line with its long-term trend. The Japanese Yen is the weakest major currency, and the USD/JPY currency pair is rising again and beginning to threaten its recent high above ¥136.50.

  • OPEC is meeting today.
  • The heads of the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England, will be speaking later at a panel discussion in Portugal.

  • It is estimated that 66.4% of the world’s population has received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccination, while approximately 6.9% of the global population is confirmed to have contracted the virus at some time, although the true number is highly likely to be much larger.
