EU Session Bullet Report

Asian markets came under pressure early this morning following soft economic data from China. Markets remain on edge as investors wait to see what the U.S Federal Reserve decides regarding interest rates later this week.

AUDUSD continued its recovery of the last 2 weeks, touching a 2 week high at 0.7134 before retracing back to 0.7080 at time of writing.

On Friday, Gold closed down for the third consecutive week as investors show little interest in the shiny metal.

Oil also remains under pressure and remains below $45 as low demand continues to keep its price down.

News wise, there is no major data today so markets may be driven by technicals as investors seek insight on what the Fed will decide on Thursday.
