Massive anti-Covid protests in the biggest Chinese cities marked the weekend. So, the week kicked off on a bad mood in the Asian markets. Australian and Chinese stock markets were painted in red. The Hang Seng index dived more than 2% in Hong Kong, and crude oil has already lost more than 3% at the time of shooting.
Black Firday
In the US, the record Black Day sales could hammer the joy around a potential Federal Reserve (Fed) pivot on softening US economy. The US shoppers spent more than $9 billion in online sales on Friday, and Cyber Monday is also expected to be a record-breaking one, with more than $11 billion to be spent.
This is not exactly what you expect to hear when you think that the US will enter a consumer-led recession in couple of weeks from now…
FX And S&P 500
The US dollar kicked off the week on a bullish note. The EURUSD slipped below the 200-DMA, near 1.0380. The S&P500 index closed last week at the highest levels since mid-September, and stands a couple of points from the year-to-date descending channel top, which could bring topsellers in, especially if strong data revives the idea that the Fed has no reason to stop hiking its interest rates.
