Upbeat US data, more Brexit worries, focus still on central banks * Resilient US labour market * Long German bonds in demand * GBP takes another hit

Morning MarketsTF
Friday's crude oil slide is continuing and intensifying this Monday morning after the Saudi deputy crown prince cast doubt on the outlook to an agreed international production freeze by saying any deal was contingent on the participation of other major producers including Iran.

Daily Market CommentMacro Man
Panama

Daily ShotTF
Friday's US employment report showed continuing improvements in the nation's job markets though the jobless rate also rose as a result of more Americans seeking work. The nonfarm payrolls report and other economic data raised the implied probability of US rate hikes in 2016 as shown by Fed funds futures by nearly 10%.

FX UpdateTF
The market largely shrugged of Friday’s solid US jobs data figuring that the Fed is going to stay the dovish course for now regardless of the strength of data. Still we’re seeing signs of exhaustion in the commodity dollar rallies though the JPY is making mischief again as USDJPY eyes key support.

From the FloorTF
The dollar's failure to latch on to a solid NFP print for a rally push confirms that the greenback is looking increasingly marooned by the Fed's insistence on a dovish approach that could take the next rate hike move to beyond November's presidential elections.
