Gains in the FX market were
more muted than equities, with the dollar index barley falling as investors

XAUUSD has traded in a fairly tight
range all week – except for a slid last night to around 1634.34
The IMF

3.3% with the U.S. economy expected to grow at 2.1% this year from the prior
1.8% forecast.
Equity markets in Asia are following the positive lead of
US and European stock markets on the back of a reasonably positive Spanish
bill auction, strong Eurozone data, the IMF raising its forecasts and a
hawkish tone from the Bank of Canada.

survey results showed unexpected improvement in Germany and the Euro zone.
Thus, it will be interesting to see if the aussie can hold its ground against
the dollar.
Sentiment was broadly higher and the dollar was mostly softer
after positive developments in Europe,
an upward revision to the IMF’s

situation index rising to 40.7 from 37.6
