Market backdrop

Three numbers that sit behind most of these markets.

US 10-year yield5.28% · +9bp on the week
US dollar index101.93 · +0.96 on the week

At a glance

"Positioning" is where large speculators' net position sits against the last three years (high = unusually long). The FTSE and DAX have no US futures contract, so no positioning.

Where the numbers come from. Figures are from the underlying markets: the cash indices, and front-month futures for gold, silver and oil. The live charts show CFD prices, which is what you'd actually trade. Percentage moves line up closely; exact price levels can differ a little, most noticeably for gold, where futures usually sit a few dollars above spot.
Risk warning: CFDs and spread bets are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Most retail accounts lose money when trading them. You should consider whether you understand how they work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Satdish provides education, not financial advice.
