European Downgrades Carry More Weight than NFPs for EURUSD Trend |
There market's favorite economic indicator was on deck Friday; but neither market participants nor the financial media were expecting much in the way of influence from the September NFPs. A modestly better-than-expected print from the labor report did little to boost risk trends or leverage the fading conviction behind the young risk appetite advance. Instead, it was the surprise downgrades of important EU members that caught traders' attention. With an outlook for slowing growth and a spreading financial crisis; negative headlines will gain far more traction than the positive. |
