Cross-market & !QAZ’s verdict
!QAZ(Chair): The market structure suggests underlying caution, evidenced by the extreme bearish readings in volatility and liquidity, even as US equities show signs of improvement. The divergence between the bearish tilt in FX and the neutral/slightly bullish readings in US and Korea warrants observation. On balance, the tape suggests a period of consolidation within defined boundaries.
