Fed Said to Reverse Stance, Consider a Loan Package for AIG

By Erik Holm
Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve is considering extending a ``loan package'' to AIG the insurer facing a cash shortage, according to a person familiar with the negotiations.
The stance by federal regulators is a reversal from a position they held as late as last night, and people with knowledge of the talks are ``cautiously optimistic,'' said the person, who declined to be identified because negotiations are confidential.
The person gave no timetable for reaching an agreement or estimate on how much money New York-based AIG would need.

time to layback

middle of nowhere

but prefer long usd yen 104.65

How's your long doing ?

the usdyen seems only follow the Dow Jones

when it turned from + to -...went down to 104.00

I wanted to wait a sec...then Dow turn up.....even at par n sp yen 104.50
it turned again...then I chopped


heard 1.4350 Eur buying order only, nothingelse

Aud buying is linked to large Gbp/Aud

1.8440, n 0.8440 now

.............

seems market still sell usd

...........

After 1.4550 s/l triggered, 1.4650 taken

small amt sell Eur at fixing

In that case the next G7 meeting on October 10-11 becomes key. Co-ordinated intervention is more likely now if the USD plunges as the next move in ECB interest rates is likely to be down. Thus G7 action on the USD would be in line with monetary policy changes

EUR Look for test of 1.4696 near-term. A break would trigger fresh gains towards 1.4727

GBP Today's break of 1.8401 signals corrective bounce taking hold, with cable poised to retest 1.8590. A move beyond 1.8590 would confirm bullish resumption. Near term support 1.8265.

USDCHF Abrupt setback from 1.1280 pressures 1.0907, but only move below 1.0844 would threaten the broader bull...swiss guy still bull on this pair

JPY I hate this pair

Us guys fiinished their 2 hr buyng, 0.8
