June 28, 2017 - Market Update (Draghi's reflation & Yellen's “no new financial crisis in our lifetime” words, Cyber attacks - a new era to come? Bonds, equities down - a new risk off combination? JPY a perfect summer carry trade)

Short recap

Asia down inspired by US session after another delay of healthcare bill vote
Europe opening lower
World coping with another cyber attack – a new era to come?


Draghi replaced deflationary forces by reflationary ones and pushed EUR higher
Sounds like woo-doo to me when we talk about “forces”…
But overall his speech was in line with dovish policy. More link  
Yellen was out with “no new financial crisis in our lifetime” comment, meaning as long as she is alive. More link
Healthcare reform vote delayed as Republicans score a goal to their own net
Bonds and equities on defensive overall yesterday what makes an interesting risk off combination
Carry trades to suffer, thus EM and high yield DM not to do well if current setup continues

Equities

Techs, biotechs and EM bleeding
Nestle to buy back CHF 20 bln worth of shares over 3 years
Option traders looking at AstraZeneca from a short side as the market positions itself for lung cancer trial results

Market was caught by surprise with Draghi’s reflationary forces comment
What was also confirmed by price action

Central bankers to drive the show today too
