This has caused tension to ratchet up between the US and China again.<\/p><p>Markets sold off broadly recently after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s trip to Taiwan, which prompted days of threatening military exercises by China, including the firing of missiles over the island and into the Taiwan Strait.<\/p><p>Traders and investors remain on edge as China regards formal contacts between United States and politicians and the island&#8217;s government as support for its independence from Beijing.<\/p><p>European stocks have reacted better than United States stocks with most of the indices posting gains. On the European close the Stoxx 600 closed up +0.25%, the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3QxTSgP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">German DAX<\/a> also close very marginally in plus with a +0.10% gain.<\/p><p>The UK <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3aXPCqN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FTSE 100<\/a> close higher by +0.10% and the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3c87cc0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">French CAC<\/a> close higher by +0.10%. Elsewhere across the periphery of Europe the Italian MID was the strongest performer with a +0.5% gains, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3wlwz1i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spanish IBEX<\/a> close higher by +0.3%.<\/p><p>Energy issues in Europe did not weigh on stocks, but that certainly weighed on the euro currency. The <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2YAQOVh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EURUSD<\/a> pair fell by nearly 1 percent today as investors leave Europe on soaring energy costs.<\/p><p>In terms of the other major currency pairs, the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Zn4HaM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">British pound<\/a> has lost ground across the US dollar as well, while risk-on currencies, such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2yFD0hu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Australian dollar<\/a> have also lost ground.<\/p><p>Aside from the energy crisis it is also noticeable that the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3tzpfOh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US dollar<\/a> is stronger across the board today. This could be due to safe haven status of the United States dollar during times of geo-political uncertainty.<\/p><p>I think the big loser of the day are oil and gold. <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3QIJ8Ml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oil prices<\/a> have dropped sharply, with both crude and <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3OEdwWx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brent<\/a> suffering losses over 3%. This has not helped the \u201cpeak inflation\u201d trade.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2ZsFzPL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gold<\/a> has been noticeably sold from the $1,800 level again. This is a resistance area the yellow metal has struggled with recently that bulls need to clear for further upside towards the $1,840 level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broader market sentiment remains fragile during the US session after China announced more military drills around Taiwan as the island&#8217;s president met with members of a new US congressional delegation on Monday.
