The markets opened yesterday characterized by low volume

The markets opened yesterday characterized by low volume, as financial firms extend their holiday throughout the week. Despite the lack of news and volume, certain currency pairs still managed to climb higher regaining recent losses. The Case Shilller price index released that home prices in 20 major U.S cities were down 6.1% on average over the past year. The news didn’t have much of an effect on the dollar as traders looked past the bad news, waiting for today’s data. The stock markets showed a similar lack of movement despite good news from Apple, as their shares hit $200, a price that has never been seen by this particular stock.
Gold and oil prices received a bounce on thoughts that shipments might be disrupted due to attacks by Turkish military on Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq.
Unlike yesterday, trader’s eyes will focus today on the economic calendar, as Initial Jobless claims and Durable Goods Orders are published- data that is always known to be market movers.
