Market talk
After a strengthening Dollar last week on Friday due to the weaker than expected NFP data, the Greenback started losing steam since the beginning of the week. The risk sentiment then resumed its upside momentum and also crypto markets went higher so far. The weakness of the Dollar might be of help as well for precious metals. Silver is inching higher, and also Gold prices created new record highs. Market participants seem to favour diversity in current markets. After gearing up some steam also the JPY had lost momentum today. All JPY pairs keep moving higher, which might just be a retracement.
