Greetings one and all and welcome to 2016

Sadly, but expectedly, it's not been a happy beginning and the season of peace, love and goodwill is already history

But with uncertainty comes opportunity and there's been plenty already as the start of year volatility kicks in on Chinese and geo-political concerns

Data wise there's a decent amount to throw into the mix too so we can expect lots more going on from Day 1

As always I wish you a good session and a successful year ahead
