Nice little bounce in the Aussie. At least for the moment, a little reason seems to be setting in.

And here's bonds. As PTL can tell you, 8 ticks is about the wave in the pit when there's nothing going on.

Well stock markets saved by the bell today. As OQ has been saying, the big VIP party was all in the bonds market. Didn't trade them but definitively a wow day.

Yeah...I haven't gotten that brave there yet either. Not even sure what I'm waiting to see before I do anything...long or short. Still happy enough to watch for a bit.

I was told that the FED's target rate for the long end of the yield curve is 2.75. If that is true, then it would work like the Swiss peg: the yield could float lower, but the "put" would not be in effect. Higher rates/lower prices would be subject to FED purchase under OpTwist.
Quoting OldQuant
Speak on. Seriously.

The basis points aren't decided by the Fed alone, and getting more than a 100 basis points is fairly hard. Remember that the nudge a.k.a. the operation twist now only moved it 15 points...

I may wait and watch that level...test a short. Not feeling at all comfortable playing longs on EU...will stick to AU for that...and gold, to a lesser degree.

This makes me think more and more about the corrective movement here in the euro. The bottom/panic-line wasn't broken decisively and Asia is likely to cover some of their trades today/later on.

BBL, cu tomorrow.

I'm off for a while. Took a little bit of a short in the rumor pop, having decided it probably could be averaged in if I really want to be short the EUR for a while.

We'll see what the Asians and Europeans think about it,

later.
