The U.S. Dollar starts February strong after a challenging January, with the Mexican Peso being the only currency outperforming it today. Markets are mixed, with gains for companies like Oracle but losses in overbought Gold and crypto stocks. Investors are watching the potential nomination of Kevin Warsh as Fed Chairman and a partial U.S. government shutdown. Key economic data this week includes JOLTS labor figures, Euro-zone inflation, and Friday’s U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls. The Euro is losing ground after a strong January, while the Mexican Peso continues to strengthen, reflecting positive trends across Latin America.
