Technicals indicate that Aussie and Euro move hand to hand, with the former falling following a ‘holding’ ECB! Now both are corrective and at a trendline low!

ORBEX: Keep and Eye on Coronavirus & Today's BOC!Markets remained somewhat muted at the start of the impeachment trial despite Trump’s talk at Davos as concerns around the deadly coronavirus mounted. It’s going to affect Asian economies for sure due to weakening consumer spending unless if it will be contained asap, and perhaps the emerging markets too.
In Europe, German and UK macros were seen increasing risk appetite, however, with ECB and #Brexit on the spotlight we could see participants take on a cautious approach on euro and pound now and shift their focus on today’s BOC policy decision.

ORBEX: With US-China Done, All Eyes on Brexit Now!The US and China signed a partial deal yesterday, putting a temporary stop to global uncertainty! Without that being the end of the trade war, at least we can now wait and see if China respects the signed terms over the next few months...
Are emerging markets affected by the fresh rhetoric since China is supported, or should we just focus on monetary policy, particularly in South Africa today?
Market participants will now look at the EU and UK for a resolution on the Brexit front. Will the House of Lords prevent a January exit? And how will the EC react about an 11-month transition if they won't?

It seems that equities hang on earnings and inflation, whereas the US index only on inflation data.

Crude, although supported by positive trade ware narratives, ended the session muted as bullish flows were seen offset by a build in the weekly API report!

ORBEX: Weekend Trade News Likely to Affect SPX, DXY!In today’s marketinsights video recording, I talk about SPX and DXY .
SPX takes a breather from all-time highs offering some pocket-relief to short-term bulls, however, with weekend trade headline news the rally could continue higher.
The US index looks bid too despite the medium-term bearishness as the economy performs incredibly well, supporting the dollar.
From a technical perspective, there's more room to the upside for both. The index, however, will most likely have a harder trip moving higher as its upside is limited. Unless if of course a sharp bullish move occurs, taking out breakeven stops and then reversing rapidly to everyone's surprise.

Euro could move towards 1.11 round resistance and yen could push the dollar down near the 108 round support.
The above scenarios have validating signals that you can find watching this video!
