DXY bounced hard last night. EUR may have formed a double top:

 
DXY

AUD was pulverised then bounced some:

AUDUSD

Gold and oil held the gains:

BRENT

Dirt is falling:

COPPER

Miners (NYSE:RIO) too:

RIO

And EM stocks (NYSE:EEM):

EEM

Make junk (NYSE:HYG) weak again:

HYG

US yields broke support:

YIELDS

Stocks are also toying with double tops:

SPX

US data is weakening fast. The Services ISM was a shocker:

ISM SERVICES

ADP slowed as well, up by 145,000 jobs in March and annual pay was up 6.9 percent year-over-year. That’s a nasty combination.

BofA’s macro metrics are slumping:

MACRO METRICS

The US is heading into a recession and it is becoming obvious. Credit card spending is further confirmed to have been hit by the bank run (which I would not expect) and the (NYSE:KRE) is breaking down again:

KRE

However, this is all well-telegraphed. What is not is that the Eurozone is fast catching down which matters a lot for FX.

As the ECB is forced to pause as well then the interest rate and growth uplift for EUR will simultaneously disappear.

I still don’t trust the falling DXY but AUD is at least behaving normally by weakening anyway.
