Mid-Day Report: Sentiments Deteriorate Further after Poor Economic Data, Dollar Soars as Risk Selloff Accelerates

Risk selloff continues in European and is extending into US session as market sentiments are further hurt by poor economic data. Global equities are broadly lower with major European indices down -4% to -5% in response to the FOMC triggered global selloff. Dollar index breaks 79 level and is accelerating towards 80. Crude oil and gold are both pressured by strength in dollar with crude oil down over -5% to 81 level while gold is down -4% to 1700 level. Also, note that the never-ending European debt crisis and fear of recession in Eurozone also sent CDS on Germany and France to record high of 108 and 202 respectively. In such situation, it's not a surprise that CDS on Italy and Spain also reaches new record high.

US Session: Orders and Options Watch

CHF: Although the greenback surged across the board and hit an intra-day high of 0.9183 (highest level since April), offers at 0.9050 were absorbed and stops at 0.9100 were tripped without much difficulties, however, the pair just retreated in New York morning on rumors that the Fed may cut 100 basis points off FX swap lines, i.e. increase liquidity. Having said that, bids are still noted at 0.9020-30 with stops building up below 0.9000 and 0.8975-80, whilst on the upside, offers (for profit-taking purpose) are reported at 0.9110-20. 0.9150 and also 0.9180-90 with next barrier seen at 0.9200 with more stops seen at 0.9210.
