The Trend Is Your FriendWeekly Review
- Markets keep going up
- Keep correcting the downside from 2018 that did not make sense
- Markets are bullish but the volume is lower so the vulnerability is bigger
- Negotiations between China and USA
- Some memorandums will be confirmed and they will keep extending the deadlines that probably will take until summer
- We should receive some good materially this week
- European macro keeps weakening
- Manufacturing data are below 50 for the first time since 2013
- This week there is not much macro
- ECB should speak and explain their position in regard of this economic slowdown
- When ECB tells what they are going to finance will be positive for the markets
- Keep an eye on both the trade talks between China & USA and the ECB
- Also, there is a meeting between USA and North Korea that will be more constructive than destructive
- Strong American macro-data can indicate that the economy can keep increasing
