Equities Still To Trade Lower, But May Be Retracing A Bit Today

18 February 2009 @ 04:39 am EDT

Yesterdays drop in equity markets was very significant and we expect the equity markets to retrace a bit today. EURCHF sold off, but nothing happened in EURJPY.

Calendars

What's going on?

S&P500 broke the 800 level and the general market traded 4% lower. Especially energy and utility shares were hit. We maintain that a test of the Oct-Nov lows is in the cards.

The Russian market (MICEX and RTS) were closed - limit down.

Crude Oil broke the important $35 level. We maintain a bearish stance.

EURUSD again broke lower, now trading around 1.25. Watch out for further downside on the Eastern European unravelling.
