#OPINIONLEADER# Morning market update 22 12 2021 with LCMS Traders: Highlights from the US session last night was the equity markets moving higher after three days of down days as Omicron concerns eased. CAD Retails Sales (MoM) (Oct) came in at 1.6% v 1% expected although no significant move in the CAD was seen as the USDCAD remained over the 1.2900 support level. For today there is GDP for the GBP at 25:00 GMT+8 and GDP for the US out at 21:30 GMT+8. Additionally there is Consumer Confidence (Dec) with the DXY in a range between 96.30 to 96.50 and as the holiday's approach something drastic will be required to wake things up here, as the risk sentiment is sensitive to change and cause whip saws casuing head aches whilst in trades therefore caution is required if your holding trades recently entered.
