Our Game Plans for next Sessions (London to NY)
-In this session, we’re looking to buy USD due to its continuous strength. We’re looking to sell EUR due to the ECB comment and somewhat weak datas. JPY is also a good short against USD if we can have a meaningful pullbacks.
If the European equities turn green, we can also buy AUD against EUR & JPY as we have seen nice recovery into the commodity prices.
