US stocks received a bounce on the back of upbeat sentiment following Sen Bernie Sanders withdrawal from the 2020 Presidential race but, apart from that, there hasn’t been a lot of momentum conviction with any new moves. I had mentioned in my weekend analysis to be prepared for some quiet ahead of the Easter break and so watching for any new trend breakout trades may be best left until after Easter. The best moves this week have, again, been found from monitoring for trend line breakout trades.

NB: There will not be any daily update tomorrow, Good Friday. I will post my FX Index update on Saturday. My Weekend Update review will be posted on Monday.

Data: Watch today with GBP GDP, an OPEC meeting, US Unemployment Claims, US PPI data and a Fed Chair Powell speech.

Earnings: a quiet end to the week.
