A review of the price action from the European session and the US session.
European markets were hammered lower on the back of concerns for Credit Suisse and the broader banking sector. The DAX and UK100 were hit hard while the key US indexes held up well considering the fear in Europe. I expect that there may be some catchup from the US if things get worse and more comes to light as analysts take a deeper look at other banks.
I continue to be of the view that sticky inflation is the big issue and will weigh on share markets if the Fed, and other major central banks, can not get it under control....this all points to more 'risk off' into major share markets.
I look at some key levels to watch and the price action setups I expect to see play out on the major markets below.
