Hi everybody and welcome back. Friday, 7 a.m. in Buenos Aires, 31°C. Dollar remains under pressure, yet right where it started Asian session against most rivals, despite local stocks markets print some gains; Japanese yen rose after the release of strong jobs data in the day, coupled with the decision by the Bank of Japan to unwind some of its stimulus steps, giving more signs of optimism over the global economy recovery.
At this point, both European index and U.S. futures are in the red side, maybe because we are at the last day of the month: get ready to see some profit booking in today’s sessions, that could favour greenback. Early European data showed German Retail sales continued falling against expectations, deflation remains in place, and unemployment at 9.7% . No good news for the euro zone. Still, day is young, and many things could happen. Here is the link for today’s calendar, check it out while I take a look at charts:

Have a great day!
