Major U.S. stock-indexes fell on Monday as President Donald Trump's protectionist stance on trade sent investors scurrying for safe-haven assets on Monday. In his latest executive order, Trump signed to formally withdraw the United States from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific partnership trade deal.Earlier in the day, Trump met with a dozen prominent American manufacturers at the White House and said he would slash regulations and cut corporate taxes to boost the economy.

Polish equity market plunged on Monday. The broad market measure, the WIG Index, declined by 0.28%. The WIG sub-sector indices closed mixed. The WIG Clothes (-1.56%) fell the most, while WIG-Pharmaceuticals (+1.32%) outpaced.

The large-cap stocks' measure, the WIG30 Index, fell by 0.59%. Almost 2/3 of the index components recorded losses. Footwear retailer CCC (WSE: CCC) topped the decliners' list, dropping by 4.04%, weight down by an analyst downgrade. Among other largest decliners were three banking sector stocks MBANK (WSE: MBK), BZ WBK (WSE: BZW) and PKO BP (WSE: PKO), and coking coal miner JSW (WSE: JSW), which slumped between 2.11% and 2.83%. At the same time, property developer GTC (WSE: GTC) led the gainers with a 3.01% advance, followed by railway freight transport operator PKP CARGO (WSE: PKP), oil and gas producer PGNIG (WSE: PGN) and videogame developer CD PROJEKT (WSE: CDR), which added 2.86%, 1.87% and 1.21% respectively.

"The instinctive reaction of markets to a more isolationist/protectionist world is to favour the currencies of countries with large current account surpluses, as these are the winners if capital stays at home. That may be too simplistic, but the yen and Euro are natural initial winners. FX positions are much less stretched than bond ones but a further final flush of Euro and Yen shorts is a risk here.

The first round of the French Socialist Primaries shows a clear shift to the left, with Benoit Hamon gaining most votes and heading into the second round with Manuel Valls this weekend. A Hamon win would leave a big gap in the centre ground, to the benefit of Emmanuel Macron. In many ways, it is easier for a centrist candidate to galvanise cross-party support in the Presidential election and so, this result may well be seen in FX=-terms as Euro-friendly. There are far too many twists and turns ahead in this election us to alter a view that at some point, political nerves will drag the euro down but today or tomorrow we may well see a break back above EUR/USD 1.08".

In January 2017, the DG ECFIN flash estimate of the consumer confidence indicator was broadly unchanged in both the euro area (+0.2 points to -4.9) and the EU (+0.3 points to -4.3) compared to December 2016.

U.S. stock-index futures fell, as investors preferred safe-haven assets such as gold and the U.S. Treasuries in response protectionist sentiment in Trump inauguration speech. Focus also is on quarterly earnings reports; around 20 percent of the S&P 500 components is scheduled to report between today and Friday.

"While there has been significant pullback in the USD/JPY, it still remains significantly above where rates and other short-term fundamentals suggest it should be. USD/JPY remains vulnerable given extended short positioning in the JPY.

So it remains up to President Trump and US economic data to start pushing US rates higher again to justify the level of the USD/JPY. The weaker JPY should help push Japan's trade balance and inflation higher. Inflation data will be the main focus locally, but it is unlikely to accelerate enough to jeopardise any change in the BoJ's current stance.

The JGB yield curve has been steepening in 2017 relative to the UST curve, which is weighing on the USD/JPY. So, the outcome of the JGB 40Y auction this coming week could also be of some interest for the USD/JPY".

During his presentation Coeure said that the recent rise in inflation rates was associated with an increase in oil prices. According to the banker, the ECB would be ready to raise interest rates only in the case of higher salaries. "At the moment this is not happening".

"The GBP will remain in focus heading into the ruling on Brexit from the Supreme Court, expected on Monday.

The government is generally not expected to win this appeal, but we think the significance of this ruling has diminished since last month's parliamentary resolution supporting the Q1 timeline for Article 50.

We continue to believe the GBP is trading near levels reflecting a worst-case scenario for trade and capital flows, and therefore expect long-term-oriented investors to be buyers below GBPUSD 1.20".

According to data released today by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, the index of business activity in all sectors of the Japanese economy increased in November by 0.3% compared with October, better than the previous value. However, the October data was revised downward from 0.2% to 0.0%. The indicator measures the activity in all sectors of Japanese industry and allows to estimate the overall trend in services and production.

Japan's leading index climbed more than initially estimated in November and remained at the highest level in fifteen months, latest figures from from the Cabinet Office showed Monday, cited by rttnews.

The leading index, which measures the future economic activity, rose to 102.8 in November from 100.8 in October. The November reading was revised up slightly from 102.7.

Moreover, the latest score was the highest since August 2015, when it marked 103.4.

The coincident index that reflects the current economic activity, climbed to 115.0 in November from 113.5 a month earlier. The score was slightly below the preliminary estimate of 115.1.

Europe's main stock benchmark closed down modestly Friday, snapping a weekly run of gains, as investors remained largely on the sidelines before Donald Trump delivers his inauguration speech as the 45th president of the United States.

U.S. stocks closed higher Friday after coming off intraday highs as Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the U.S. In his inauguration speech, the new president reiterated his protectionist stance but did not offer details on how he would go about pursuing his agenda.

After some initial softness, Asian stocks are broadly higher as investors continue to digest what Donald Trump means to their holdings. But Japanese equities are a noted laggard as the yen leads broad currency gains in the dollar, rising nearly a full yen from late-Friday levels in the U.S.
