I saw a Tweet yesterday where someone moaned that they can’t believe the VIX isn’t at 100. It’s hard to believe there hasn’t been more volatility in the wake of events in US politics over the last 24 hours. Despite all of the turmoil, US stocks are higher, Gold and the Yen are lower and the US$ index is little moved. The DXY remains in focus though as US Treasuries look to move higher, especially with today’s NFP.

NB: I have been unwell the last few days and remain a bit off-colour so updates will be brief and few over coming days.

Data: watch for any impact from today’s US NFP.
