Today we look at the market putting on a show of resilience ahead of the FOMC meeting tomorrow, as we break down where to look for the Fed delivering a hawkish surprise (assuming they will be at pains to avoid a dovish one). The Riksbank hiked 100 basis points during the podcast recording. Elsewhere, we look at US housing as one of the better leading indicators for the equity market, the latest on crude oil, natural gas, and softs, and interesting FX stories aside from the obsessive focus on the USD. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we look at the weak equity market as traders nervously await a raft of central bank meetings this week as most are set to tighten rates further. In FX, we note the interesting reduction in euro shorts in the US currency futures positioning as the euro remains resilient, with most of the USD long position there expressed in GBPUSD and USDJPY. In commodities, we focus on longer term support for copper, while the equities focus this week is on names like Sea Limited, US homebuilders with the backdrop of US housing data, and Amazon. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on Commodities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we discuss the August US CPI shocker yesterday, as the core inflation reading on the month rose at twice the expected pace, taking even headline inflation into positive territory month-on-month despite the huge drop in energy prices. The market tanked and the USD soared as investors are forced to consider whether the FOMC meeting next week will bring a 100 basis point hike. Crude oil, metals, stocks to watch and a preview of Adobe and more also on today's pod, which features Peter Garnry on equities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.

Today we discuss the extension of momentum in equities as the market is clearly positioning itself for a weaker than expected US August inflation figure later today. The risk-on sentiment is seen across many markets including the USD which continues to weaken against the EUR which might have got some tailwinds lately from the war success in Ukraine. We also talk about Silver, but more importantly the ongoing European energy crisis that has eased a bit lately with lower energy prices across the board. Finally, we go through stocks to watch with a focus on Ocado's horrible revenue miss and Inditex's earnings tomorrow, ending with a quick rundown of today's macro calendar. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities and Ole S. Hansen on commodities.

Today we discuss market risk sentiment brightening in Europe in the wake of Ukrainian momentum on the battlefield since late last week, with EURUSD breaking well above important local resistance. The JPY is nearly as weak as the US dollar as yields have poked higher again. We also discuss developments in crude oil, wheat and rice after an Indian export ban, stocks to watch this week, including Oracle on the earnings report today and key semiconductor stocks as the US is likely to widen its curb on exports to China.

Today we look at a sharp sell-off in the US dollar inspired in the wake of the ECB meeting yesterday and especially after Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda comments on JPY volatility overnight. The USD decline has helped to boost sentiment further as the US S&P 500 retakes 4,000, but equity traders should keep a wary eye on treasury yields, which bounced back sharply yesterday on a strong US jobless claims number and the latest firm rhetoric from Chair Powell. The week ahead in earnings and macro and more on today's pod, which features Peter Garnry on equities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.
