(UK closed today). [B]Yields[/B] jumped higher and [B]VIX[/B] soared over [B]7% [/B]to 31.30. [B]Oil & Gold[/B] both rallied and then gave up all their gains. [B]Weekend data[/B] – Chinese Manu & Services PMI’s (47.4 vs 49.5 & 41.9 vs. 48.4) the worst in 2 yrs as lockdowns grip the economy. [B]Berkshire Hathaway[/B] invested over [B]$51bn[/B] in Q1 inc. Chevron (over $21bn), Occidental ($10bn), HP ($4.2bn) & Alleghany ($11.6bn). US House speaker, [B]Pelosi[/B] visited Ukraine promising support ‘until fight is done’. [LIST] [*][B]USDIndex[/B] cooled to under [B]103.00 [/B]on Friday, closed at 103.18, and is back to 103.45, now. April opened at 98.29, a near [B]5%[/B] gain. [*][B]Equities[/B] – [B]USA500[/B] -155.57 ([B]-3.63%[/B]) at [B]4131. –[/B] US500FUTS at [B]4145 [/B]now. [B]AMZN [/B]-14.05%, [B]INTEL[/B] -6.94% [B]MSFT & NFLX[/B] -4%,[B] APPL[/B] -3.66%. Nasdaq lost -13% in April (worst since 2008 Fin. Crisis) S&P500 has lost -13% in 2022 (the worst Jan-April since 1939). 50% of S&P500 companies have reported this Earnings season and 81% have exceeded expectations (average 66%). But outlooks (partic. from AZMN & APPL) have weighed. Volatility is back too, Jan-April there were 33 days with +/- 2% daily moves, in all of 2021 there were just 24. [*][B]Yields[/B] moved significantly higher 10-yr closed at [B]2.887%.

[/LIST] [B]Overnight [/B]– [B]JPY – [/B]Consumer Confidence missed 33 vs 34.9 and Final Manu PMI in line at 53.5. Week Ahead – The focus remains on inflation and the much anticipated response from the [B]FOMC, RBA and BOE[/B] this week, while the markets price in action from the ECB down the road. The advent of month-end, a holiday in Japan on Friday, and the UK shut today accelerated some profit taking on Wall Street after the early rally. It looks as though many are sidelined into the weekend and ahead of the FOMC where there is a lot of uncertainty over the aggressiveness of the Fed’s normalization path, and the BOE’s ambiguity. Hiking rates too much too quickly would only increase the risk of a stagflation scenario and the BOE’s current policy is already much closer to neutral than the ECB’s. The week also sees [B]NFP,[/B] and [B]employment data[/B] from Canada, Europe and New Zealand. [B]Today [/B]– German Retail Sales, [B]US ISM Manufacturing[/B], EU Energy Ministers meeting, (Hungary would veto sanctions on Russian energy) [B]Earnings[/B] from Italgas, Holidays in UK, China and many Asian countries. [B]Biggest FX Mover[/B] @ (06:30 GMT) [B]USDJPY[/B] (+0.49%) Rallied from lows under 1129.40 Friday to 130.45 highs today. Next resistance 130.50 MAs aligned higher, MACD signal line & histogram moving higher, RSI 54 & rising, H1 ATR 0.263, Daily ATR 1.38. [B]Always trade with strict risk management.
