Markets Ignore Pessimistic Data after China Commits to Boost Growth
After the huge selloff seen through the week, markets returned once again to correct some of the losses incurred supported by the Chinese commitment to support growth and revive the recovery, where investors ignore the heavy load of pessimistic data as Greece still the highlight in markets amid the disappointing informal European Summit yesterday.
Surely, the sentiment is still negative and markets are to resume the bearish wave, but currently markets react to the positive Chinese announcement as the nation pledged to implement more and more measures to boost growth and revive the slowing pace of recovery, noting that China used to lead the pace of recovery worldwide.
Another bullish fact for markets today is the durable goods report from the world`s largest economy, where the critical ...

EUR/USD Cedes The 1.2624 Support
Sunrise Market Commentary
- Fixed Income: Risk off pushes German bond yields to new lows
- Risk off sentiment pushed core bonds higher and non-core bond yield spreads re-widened substantially. The Summit didn't bring new information, but another hole found in Spain's regions' budgets might get attention today.
- Currencies EUR/USD cedes the 1.2624 support
- On Wednesday, the EMU debt crisis was again omnipresent. Markets feared that the EU leaders wouldn't be able to take decisive action to address the debt crisis. Extreme risk aversion pushed EUR/USD to a new low for 2012. The losses of EUR/GBP were more contained, as poor UK retail sales and rather soft BoE minutes kept the door open for more policy stimulation.

European future equities rise before the opening today
European stock futures signaled a positive start before the opening today timing some of the loses witnessed in the past few days as European decision makers instated that Greece must stick to the austerity measures in order to stay in the euro zone and to prevent major problems.

SunBirdFX Daily Market Analysis : 05/24/2012
www.sunbirdfx.com
Another day of battle between the sellers and the buyers in Wall Street has passed by, as the sellers are still on the upper hand. In fact, the continuation of the bearish momentum was expected after the indices made bearish reversal patterns on Tuesday. The new home sales data came out better than expected but this did not help the stock to rise, as today's main data is the continuing jobless claims.
The declines of the stocks caused sharp weakening of most of the major currencies, except the USD. Therefore, we see many oversold/overbought pairs and we see less accurate patterns in the daily chart. What you should do in these kinds of situations is to wait for corrections or trade in the intraday charts and look for quick trades, although it can be more dangerous.

The EUR/USD fell as low as 1.2614 yesterday, a 21-month low, after investors grew increasingly concerned regarding Greece's fate in the euro-zone and shifted their funds to safe-haven assets. The currency pair staged a mild upward correction later in the day, eventually stabilizing around the 1.2655 level. Turning to today, euro traders will want to pay attention to several potentially significant news events. Specifically, the German Manufacturing PMI and Ifo Business Climate may help the euro recoup some of yesterday's losses if they come in above expectations.
