CROSS ASSET: Risk-Off Pervades on Reports Iran are Preparing Israel Attack

CROSS ASSET

USD gains further traction on the back of reports that White House Officials have received indications that Iran are preparing to imminently launch a ballistic missile attack against Israel.

Equity pressure evident in the drop in the e-mini S&P to 5775.00 (and counting) alongside some decent-sized sell programs crossing via the NYSE TICK index.
