Buckle up: cross-asset moves are suggesting that more market turbulence is ahead. Both the Japanese Yenand the US Dollar are pacing the leaders today, but there are alarming concerns going on across the globe.

Precious metals are outperforming on the day (Gold is testing a breakout to the topside - see chart 1 below) while energy markets are dipping lower (Crude Oil hasn't been able to clear out the crucial $35 level - see chart 2 below). Commodity markets are signaling growth concerns and the viability of any policy response, and equity markets are turning lower as a result.

 European markets aren't faring much better, with EUR/USD pressing towards $1.0900 and GBP/USDdropping below $1.3900. The contagion of a 'Brexit' is spilling over to a full blown existential crisis for the Euro-Zone: if Britain can renegotiate its status, why not anyone else? The clearest example of this unfolding is in EUR/CHF - so it's time to pay attention to Europe more closely (chart 3 below). Both EUR/CHF (bearish rising wedge) and USD/CHF (ascending triangle failure) (chart 4 below) are suggesting that the next wave of risk aversion regarding the Euro-Zone crisis is being revived.
