In recent months the market is driven by the risk appetite and avoid risks. When the appetite to increase the risk of market players get into some of the financial sector, such as stocks, currencies, yielding a high return and commodities.
Usually this risk appetite increased when the market expect the global economic conditions improve and vice versa, if the market is unsure of the economic conditions they fled to safe-haven assets or chasing the U.S. dollar.
