Well nothing major in the policy side in the FOMC but a couple of key comments that are very relevant for currencies.

As expected in the mortgage-backed securities and the maturity extension program ("Operation Twist")so most of the meat was already digested on the markets. The lack of more QE3 disappointed short term and trigger sell (buy the rumor sell the news is over now).

What I find particularly important in terms of currencies is soft dollar guarantee and reconfirmed till mid 2013 (long term) and finally the FED recognize...
long term.. i don't c it. 2873 is needed. i took the extremes. but even w/o them we go much lower.

Long term dollar mate doesn't necessarily mean euro is going to boom. Wait for the economy start ticking up for a quarter or at least for economic recession risk to clear and you will see the dollar crosses booming. I am still waiting for the position play we have been talking about in the pound to 2.0xx (by years end/early next year)...For now as I mentioned before all risk so lets buy dollars.

we'll see.

bears need 3628 min..st the a lower high below 3795... then a newer low . below the low ... a low below 3585 will help.. a high below is better. support at M3626/29 so below it is a good sign
done.. sell the bounce.

puts 3377 inplay
in play..as long as today's high is the high.. it should be protected. its the risk.. 3377 min is the reward. a sell up to 3797 has the best r/r.. the closer the better. tired candles is what to look for on the bounce.

Now that they've ruined the bond market for a while (who's going to short a market where a CB has said they'll buy all the outstanding, and the higher the price the better?) it might be time to think about an EUR position again.

That language in the Moody's statement, and the 3-dissents in the Fed minutes hasn't sunk in fully yet. Things are just a little bit different.

Not here, though.

Don't understand what is your point mate. We have been agreeing most of time the last few week in the macro direction of the euro.

Short term downtrend? well yes we agree since the first week of September. Long term trend? yes we are about to confirm monthly and quarterly reversal next week. 1.331x/1.329x next major level, we agree too on that one. The end of the world? ...well not yet.

In any case, ES barely hold last breakout point & daily S. DAX futures after-hours closed exactly 2 ticks away from the cliff (interesting open tomorrow). Gold "chopping around" and Oil holding daily S.

Do you have any view on copper/AUD? HG is below 3.70, and there was little if anything to address aggregate demand in the Fed statement, and, as I alluded to above, what Moody's said in the BAC downgrade was the first time I can recall seeing anything semi-official that even implied that a systemically important bank could possibly be allowed to be liquidated.

Interested in your view.

Obviously bailed on the "glorious" Aussie setup, too...no damage, though. Will look to reload going long at some point here. No rush...will let the markets digest and just try and find another base.
