The eagerly awaited US non-farm payrolls release has now been and gone but leaving a trail of uncertainty still in its wake

For my part, whether it be weather, USD stength or A.N.Other affected the weaker than expected data should remind us all that the global economy is still in a fragile state and interest rate hikes either in the US or UK are still a long way off. A view I have long discussed

The weak US$ perfomance in the sessions leading into the acutal release suggest that markets either got a a sniff of the softer number or are just having a bit of a reality check overall. But are we seeing a real change in sentiment or just a bit of unravelling ?

Continue to trade the ranges while the jury remains well and truly out
