The Euro rebounded from two days of sharp losses on Monday even after an anti-bailout party was victorious in Greek elections, while Global stock indexes went up on confidence in the European Central Bank's new money-printing program. Crude Oil fell to the lowest in almost six years after the OPEC Secretary-General said that there was about 1.5 million barrels a day of excess supply. Gold fell more on Monday as traders cashed in gains that took the metal to five-month highs last week, with the wider markets minimizing news that an anti-austerity party had won elections in Greece. The highlight of this week, the Fed's FOMC meeting starts today.

EUR/USD

The Euro held onto modest gains early yesterday, having bounced off an 11-year trough as investors decided to take profits on extremely bearish positions, supported also by a survey that showed German business morale rose to its highest level in six months.

EURUSD closed at $1.12493, up 0.36%, in our platform, yesterday.

Analysts mentioned that perhaps the market rightly or wrongly is putting some hopes on Greece's new government being more conciliatory. In any case, the market will be paying close attention to news that could well see more Euro volatility for now at least.

Today, expect the market to move with the U.S. durable goods orders, new home sales and to pay extra attention to the S&P Case-Shiller HPI and U.S. consumer confidence as it focus on the beginning of the FOMC meeting.

GBP/USD

The Pound rose against the Dollar on Monday, but remained within close distance of recent 18-month lows as the market pays close attention to news out of Greece following anti-austerity Syriza party's election win on Sunday.

GBPUSD finished at $1.50843, up 0.55% in our platform, yesterday.

Today, expect the market to move with the U.K GDP, U.S. durable goods orders, new home sales and to pay extra attention to the S&P Case-Shiller HPI and U.S. consumer confidence as it focus on the beginning of the FOMC meeting.

XAU/USD

Gold fell yesterday as traders cashed in gains that took the metal to five-month highs last week, with the wider markets minimizing news that an anti-austerity party had won elections in Greece.

Spot Gold closed at $1,280.23, down 1.03% or $13.35 in our platform, yesterday.

Gold's rise to its highest price since mid-August last week left it overbought, analysts said, and the price eased as the uncertainty surrounding the Greek election cleared.

DOW/USD

U.S. stocks ended Monday's agitated trading session with small gains, as investors mostly minimized the Greek election results which brought the anti-bailout Syriza party to power.

The Dow Future closed at 17,614, almost unchanged in our platform, yesterday.

The relative calm in global equity markets was attributed largely to long lasting effects of the quantitative easing program announced by the ECB last week, which overshadowed election results in Greece.

Today, expect the market to move with the U.S. durable goods orders, new home sales and to pay extra attention to the S&P Case-Shiller HPI and U.S. consumer confidence as it focus on the beginning of the FOMC meeting.
