Forex and Financial Market Weekly Outlook Jul 19 to Jul 24

During last week's trading we all saw what kind of impact the earnings reports and the moves on the S&P and Dow Jones had on the currency, commodity, and bond markets... for the week ahead I expect to see the same exact themes play out as news, data, and fundamentals remain the witch's brew of choice for the big money market movers.Last week approximately 25% of earnings were released but over the next two weeks we get the other 75%, so do not expect any change in how those events act as the catalyst in the Forex market and Forex's correlated markets. Over-the-top earnings from the likes of Goldman Sachs, Intel, IBM, JP Morgan, and Bank of America led to a 7% gain on the S&P 500 and the Dow surging up 7.3%. The strong upside gains on the US and European equity markets sent crude oil up 6%, gold up over 2%, and Treasuries to their first decline in 6-weeks.
