Good morning everyone,

I will not be posting this morning as I am heading out on some unrelated business. I should be back before NY open.

It's a slow news day as far as econ releases are concerned, but watch out for the forked tongues from the political arena. This market is primed form rumors now.

Trade safe

Good morning PT and other fellow traders.

Today there is only France and US auction, which have no effect on anything.

My sentiment is still quite bullish since I want to see at least 1.29 before PT's hammer team jumps in.

It appears to be that Greece is still on headlines and now even EU's Juncker admits that EU Finmins don't want Greeks to play bully in their sandbox. Once it happens we see another good dive.

Analytics and weathermen are predicting dark clouds on Spain. They think that Spaniels are about ask for loan from EFSF. I don't see that happening yet. Spaniel bonds are selling fine and they already have a budget filled for this year. Spanish fleet is not sinking yet.

Now I believe - all we need is a one shard of good news to rally price to 1.29.

that was one of the least risky trades ive ever made. i wish i used more leverage. everything was pointing to down.

got short again on break of trendline 1.2780, and closed for +15 and 1.2765(bid)

this looks like its not going to be a problem either. next test is 1.2747

Yep... if you look at friday, but it could be deceiving, since friday is a day when traders close their trades. London will show todays sentiment. Tokio showed some bullish already. Let's see in half an hour where we go.

Looks like it is about to go quite flat till NY.
I guess everybody are waiting some sign for becoming development and no one dares to sell. Looks like it needs just a rumor of a rumor of good news to ignite rally.

Nomura - EUR shorts near record high level

Mon, May 21 2012, 10:31 CET | Interbank Talk
Source: Nomura

"After another week of uncertainty and instability in the euro area periphery, investors added to their EUR net short positions by $4.3bn in the week ending Tuesday. This second week of increased net EUR shorts brought the currency to its highest net short position since the week ending 24 January, and our real-time estimates suggest that short positioning has increased by $1.0bn in the second half of the week, bringing EUR to its largest net short position on record."

Maybe Germany is about to do just that. They were hounded at the G8 meeting about focusing more on growth instead of austerity. Germany's back is against the wall. We'll see if they give in.

Eurozone Construction Output SA (Mar) 12.4%. Prev. -7.1%, Rev. to -10.3%
Best in years - no market effect though - understandable, that was old news from march.
