Quitting in droves
“The CMA’s preferred action would be a 3 percent cut in interest rates. This move would increase import costs, slow consumer spending, and along with a fall in the NZ Dollar, speculators, Japanese housewives and Belgian dentists would experience some of pain that our exporters are feeling.

Well Syd do you see any sort of pullback for AUD/USD after Friday night's volatility. I had an early night (11:00pm)and missed the hi-jinx. When I departed Aussie was 95/00 and was the same at New York close yet we had a 50 point range in the meantime.
USD is still looking anaemic but euro just doesn't seem to able to go on with it.
CPI Wednesday probably all important for Aussie, too early for most of the benefit from the appreciation to have filtered through so with higher prices of foodstuffs from tghe floods in NSW and Victoria the risk is to the upside. Still can't see it being enough though for RBA to move.
Cable - RBS calling it up to 2.07 this week, again no pullback since it started it's run.

Australian 2Q CPI reading crucial for AUD this week; anything less than +0.7% core CPI on-quarter will weigh heavily on AUD and particularly on AUD/NZD, says RBC senior currency strategist Sue Trinh. Dow Jones survey shows economists expect core inflation, which strips out price volatility, of +0.7% on-quarter and +2.5% from a year earlier. If RBNZ hikes rates as RBC expects this week, the confluence of events would see AUD/NZD back below 1.09, Trinh says. Pair currently 1.10.

Aussie CPI Unlikely To Trigger Near-Term Hike
Australia's 2Q CPI reading unlikely to trigger near-term rise in official cash rate of 6.25%, with Dow Jones Newswires survey of 22 economists pointing to likely inflation rate of 1.0% through 2Q and 1.9% from same period a year earlier. Survey shows core inflation, which strips out price volatility, likely to show rise of 0.7% on quarter and 2.5% from a year earlier. Data due 0130 GMT Wednesday. RBA uses inflation target of 2%-3% and most economists expect central bank to hold rates until at least early 2008.

ALT-A includes much more than you mentioned. Some require a lot of documentation and many ALT-A borrowers have excellent credit. 40% of ALT-A loans are NOT going to go sour. Much different paper than sub-prime

1.2825 eurusd,1.2012 usdchf and gbpusd dipping to 2.04 last three days but getting back up.think usd has these the currencies on ropes despite itself being on the defence.adding to this strong usdcad,and sooner rathen than later,usdchf and we will have an across the board usd rally which will to a great degree be result of complacency with weak us dollar.

While waiting for markets to open
I find Sunday especially boring, this day one should rest and dedicate time to some other things, but Forex. We have tried many things to keep us preoccupied, and except going out on a boat, one finds itself running in circles, waiting for markets to open. Unfortunately we are not living on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea anymore, and the luxury of boat escapes are, for now, out of reach. Having nothing better to do, I'll do the unthinkable and open charts, just to see what might happen with Euro on Monday.
I guess you all know that trend remained intact, and there is no change in view. Support at 1.3780 held beautifully on Friday, and we managed to get ourselves to a new high at 1.3843. Buying at 1.3800 area might be the game plan for tomorrow, but for that I'll have to wait for market to open .Only 10 hours to go.
Strictly technically speaking, pair was already overbought on 29th of June, and now it is so squeezed, that I can't bring myself to look at indicators anymore. You will ask: "Can it drop then, if it is so overbought as you claim?" , and the only thing I can answer to that question is YES. Never the less, I have seen it before, and it can continue to rally without correction as well. So carefully, carefully, carefully is my main strategy for Monday. Tight stops in place, and lets see what happens.
