Traders return to busy earnings week – Crypto News

Here is what you need to know on Tuesday, January 17:

Traders return today after a long weekend in the US, and initial signs are for a muted start to the week. Data overnight from China was positive, but we failed to see a positive push forward from commodities. Europe then added to the bullish sentiment with a strong ZEW from Germany, but again the market shrugged its shoulders and went all “meh”. With a big earnings season upon us perhaps that should come as no surprise. This week we get the end of the investment banks today with Morgan Stanley (MS) and Goldman (GS), Then it is onto the regional and commercial banks. Netflix (NFLX) Opens the tech season on Thursday.

The US Dollar is a touch weaker in thin trading at 102.16 for the Dollar Index as we await the Bank of Japan. Gold is also lower at $1,912, and oil has now spiked above $80 to $80.47, as perhaps a late reaction to the strong ZEW and Chinese data.
