The market mood got a further boost yesterday after the latest data release from he US hinted that the economy is not doing that bad, after all. The US yields and the dollar rebounded, stocks and crude oil gained.
Investors are now going back to the soft-landing dreaming and that will – along with the rising JPY carry trades – should help the markets close the week on a positive note in Europe and the US.
Things look less rosy for China though. Although Alibaba and JD.com are in a better shape today, the Q2 results were less than ideal...

It's been two weeks since I left, and in that time, the markets plunged into chaos. Now that I'm back, things have finally returned to calm waters.
In this episode, we talk about the unwind of the yen carry trades, the weakness of the US jobs data and the market’s overreaction to both.
We also talk about how inflation numbers are supportive of further rate cuts from the Fed and other major central banks and how these expectations should impact pricing across the FX markets.
