Nasdaq 100 Technical: Counter trend rebound at risk of exhaustion as key risk events loom
The ongoing rally from last Friday, 27 October low has taken on the form of an impending “bearish flag” formation.

Eurozone HICP inflation falls to 2.9% in October  US ECI rises to 1.1% in Q3 EURUSD continues to look weak Inflation in the eurozone fell below 3% in October, with energy and food prices helping to push the headline number even lower than expected.

A trick or a treat from the Bank of Japan: an indirect way of scrapping the YCC
