Stock markets sunk on Friday following the Feds decision on Thursday to leave interest rates unchanged. Concerns over the global economic growth were fuelled following Janet Yellens press conference which highlighted that recent events had perhaps influenced the Feds decision.
This morning in Asia, market sentiment has continued to follow suit, and it seems now that investors are bracing themselves for possible further stocks downside.
EURUSD hit a high of 1.1459 early on Friday but is now trading around the 1.1300 following the selloff later in the day.
Gold completed its 3rd consecutive day of gains on Friday reaching 1141.57 at one stage, as uncertainty gripped the global markets.
Oil, currently at $45.58, remains in a range but traders should watch out for manufacturing data from the Eurozone on Wednesday.
Today in the Eurozone, we have no major news although at 14:00 GMT we have existing home sales from the U.S.
