I can't fathom why such a move and correction would happen in the span on 5 minutes (tops)

month end, quarter end, year end

today is the last day of the calendar year. most firms are use the calendar year as their fiscal year. anything to be realized today against any cash fx pair will have a particularly large impact during times of such thin liquidity. the correction appears the way it does because sellers made a nice little dent in today's action before buyers could be step in and bid it back up. CAD$ has 1/3 of prorated daily volume compared to YTD daily avg

this is just my opinion but anything involving the USD is dangerous today. i'm simply sitting and waiting for the official word on whether or not sequestration happens and whether or not some half-assed deal occurs. its clear that a full deal is impossible today. the former could lead to risk off BIG TIME (reasons for which could occupy several dissertations on economics). possibly a limit down in equity futures

Year end would explain it.
perhaps canadian corporations with USD liquidity will revert back to CAD. Thanks for the clarity.

Quick Question: do the rates continue fluctuating over the next few days? Other sessions are still in play right?
What site keeps rates up to date until the 2nd?

Nice. I just loaded my YouTradeFx MT4 terminal and rates are moving.

AUD is falling pretty hard in the last 2 minutes or so

Thanks D2tz! Happy New Year to you as well.
