Markets to expect the unexpected?
 
 
 April has kicked off on a positive note with Asian shares 
 marching higher as investors digest data from China and 
 Japan. European markets are expected to open mixed ahead 
 of a barrage of economic releases from the region, while 
 US futures are green after the S&P 500 rallied 
 overnight.To get more news about

   Risk sentiment was boosted by President Bidens “once 
 in a generation” $2.25 trillion spending plan. Given his 
 speech yesterday, this is certainly no April fools. 
 According to the new President, the hefty spending will 
 “create the strongest, most resilient, innovative 
 economy in the world”. However, the ambitious plan will 
 be funded with higher corporate taxes with Biden calling 
 for the current rate of 21% to be hiked to 28%. This is 
 probably the biggest sticking point with the new stimulus 
 and may create resistance when the plan is discussed in 
 Congress, so grab your popcorn and enjoy the show.
 
 More trouble in Europe
   Things are not looking pretty in Europe.A third wave 
 of Covid-19 is sweeping through the continent, forcing 
 countries to renew lockdown restrictions. One of the 
 latest victims has been France which is struggling with a 
 jump in Covid-variant cases. President Emmanuel Macron 
 has announced a nationwide four-week lockdown that will 
 commence in two days and go on until May 2. During this 
 period, schools and businesses will be closed,something 
 that will inflict more pain on the economy.
 
   Fears around Europe losing control of the pandemic is 
 likely to darken the economic outlook and result in a 
 weaker Euro.Looking at the charts, the EURUSD remains 
 under intense pressure on the daily timeframe. A solid 
 breakdown below 1.1700 could open the doors to levels not 
 seen early November 2020 around 1.1620.
 
 OPEC to pull April fools?
   Crude oil prices edged higher this morning, clawing 
 back some of the previous sessions losses ahead of the 
 OPEC+ meeting later in the day.
 
   OPEC and its allies are widely expected to leave 
 production targets unchanged despite the Covid-19 
 restrictions in Europe and Iranian crude oil exports to 
 China. However, when dealing with OPEC+ it may be wise to 
 expect the unexpected. Saudi Arabia has already stunned 
 markets this year and any surprise moves could catch 
 investors off-guard today.
 
   Should todays meeting go by the book, oil markets may 
 offer little reaction as this was already widely 
 expected.
 
 Commodity spotlight – gold
   After rebounding from the $1680 support level, gold 
 bulls seem to be on a mission to retest the $1730 level. 
 While a softer dollar may support upside gains, the 
 improving market mood and jump in risk-sentiment may 
 ensure prices remain depressed. The precious metal is 
 likely to oscillate within the $1680 to $1730 regions 
 ahead of the US jobs report on Friday.
