Yesterday was a fairly mixed day yesterday to be expected with FOMC pending this week, however, there was a couple of nice market movers, Nasdaq and S&P pushed up well as it broke to make new all-time highs, Bitcoin similarly moved well following statements from Elon Musk that they will be prepared to take Bitcoin as a form of payment in the future again to see it edge higher to get over the $40 000 level again.

Before the European open there was a strength that came into the market from Euro, CAD, and NZD while weakness from the Yen, USD and CHF devalued against the major pairs.
