Not making a call of any sort. My count is purely an observation. PA is currently very bearish... However, if this is a 4th of an ED it could be finished by tomorrow

China tells US to avoid default...

China already has 15 trillion worth of FX as big players have gone into mutual swaps ... simply making noise http://files.hotstockmarket.com/imag...ies/tongue.gif

Raise the debt ceiling, This will devalue dollar, accept it and move on...

sure it will devalue the dollar. but are we down right now purely because of chance of default?
thinking market/spec based. It seems like this is a downtrend due to the shutdown. shutdown ends/debt ceiling averted. we should see a spike back up. to where and for how long who knows. but id be hardpressed to believe that with the shutdown ended and ceiling raised, we wouldnt get a nice quick bump up from 97.

We should get a bounce from this 97 area back up to 98 but right now it looks like we're gonna make a new low, something like 96.50. I've got my stop outside of that on my long and might even ride the short train down there in the meantime.

agreed. ive got my S/L at 96. even with new lows i dont see it going down that far. and if it does. i dont wanna be in it long lol. while we may WANT that 100+ jump lol.

I may have to be happy with 98s. profit is profit.

US cannot have the cake and eat it too...

Spending cuts will push economy to recession and all phony recovery from 2008 falls in vein.. Ben Bernanke knows it..

They need to raise ceiling, assuming one fine day in 2040 US FED can raise interest rates

I'd be happy at 98. Probably just move the stop up unless it got really bullish with USD shutdown news, debt ceiling, etc.

USDJPY vs US-JP 10 year benchamrk spread on a longer term, current divergence in divergence suggesting Buying both USTs and USDJPY means great risk adjusted returns.

A shorter term look at the 2's spread suggests upside for USDJPY - just need equity markets to pick up

There is an important economic event happening tonight not listed in the calendar that “could” move both the Nikkei and USD/JPY, though I would think limited. There will be an auction for 10-year Inflation-Indexed JGBs, the first of its kind since 2008 and could be a proxy in gauging the confidence level of BOJ and Japanese government policies regarding reflation.

Probably nothing a medium or long term trader should care about, however with all the scalpers here it should be noted if you’re in or about to initiate a trade.

10:30 Auction Notice of 10-year Inflation-Indexed JGBs
2:45 Auction Result of 10-year Inflation-Indexed JGBs
