Anti-Covid, anti-government protests in China spark risk-aversion
-
Powell's speech and US jobs data later in the week
Risk-off moods can be spotted on the global stock markets at the beginning of a new week with weekend anti-lockdown, anti-government protests in China being cited as a reason. Safe haven flows can also be spotted at the FX market with JPY and CHF being G10 top performers. Oil is also taking a big hit after US authorized Chevron to resume operations in Venezuela and Iraq announced plans to increase its oil export capacity.
Economic calendar for the day ahead is almost empty. There are a number of central bankers' speeches scheduled but not a single top-tier macro reading. Central bankers and the aforementioned protests in China, and their implications, may be key drivers of the moves in the markets today.
