The Covid-19 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant threw a wrench in to the works of market at the end of last week and it's still too early to say what kind of damage it has caused to the longer term picture. From the information that has come through over the weekend it appears as if we have had a risk-off overreaction, once again. The move in the Euro across the markets was very suspicious in my view and I expect much of it, if not all and potentially more, will be retracted. Maybe the coming week already.
In any way, I like to see more data as the week takes off before I make updates to my charts, but cautiously I think this can be a buying opportunity. In fact, if Omicron competes out Delta and proves to present much milder symptoms, resulting in less hospitalizations and decreasing death figures then we may be in for an even stronger risk-on move going forward. However, it's early days yet so let's wait for the data.
