Reuters on Yen the 2010 choice of carry trade players:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The yen, which had been toppled by the dollar last year as investors' top choice to fund carry trades, looks set to reclaim the throne in 2010.
The recent spike in U.S. bond yields, coinciding with a rally in the dollar against the yen, is flagging a return to the yen to fund carry trades -- the risky strategy of using a low-yielding currency to purchase assets in higher-yielding currencies in the search for better returns.

AUD/USD Support Will Be Solid - NAB
Reply
AUD/USD facing big week ahead on broad array of U.S. economic data and company earnings due, while rising risk sentiment and iron ore prices bodes well for commodity unit, says NAB FX strategist John Kyriakopoulos. "An environment of rising investor risk-appetite but no expected Fed rate hikes over the next six months or so should be supportive of AUD/USD. Pegs good support at 0.9090, resistance 0.9323. "It may take another strong jobs report on Thursday to trigger a break to a fresh high above 0.9406."
AUD/USD looks set for a positive week, likely trading as high as 0.9400 given robust China trade data and expected strong Australian employment numbers, says CBA FX Strategist Joseph Capurso. Notes rise in China imports bodes well for AUD. "Chinese imports are a good proxy for Aussie exports." "It looks like Aussie is going to have a pretty good week."
NZD/USD may push toward 0.7450-0.7500 in coming sessions if "risk appetite remains buoyant and optimism about the 2010 global outlook continues," says Bank of NZ strategist Mike Jones. On day says NZD/USD likely to face initial headwinds around 0.7420 with solid support on dips toward 0.7310.
Portugal has been warned it faces the possibility of a credit ratings downgrade unless measures are taken to reduce its budget deficit, The Financial Times reports on its Web site Sunday. Anthony Thomas, a senior sovereign risk analyst with Moody's credit rating agency, said Portugal must take "meaningful, credible steps," to reduce its deficit in order to avoid being downgraded, the FT reported.

DJ Aussie Jobs May Give Reason To Buy AUD - RBC
Reply
Australian December employment data due Thursday could be stronger than market expected gain of +10,000 jobs, giving AUD bulls another reason to buy, say RBC FX strategists. RBC expects 30,000 jobs added in month. "RBC sees upside risk to the market call and instead of a hindrance, employment data might well turn out to be another reason to buy AUD." AUD/USD last 0.9290

A disappointing US payrolls report (85,000 jobs were shed in December compared to consensus of no change) dampened speculation the Fed would start raising the policy rate by June 2010

FDIC said Horizon Bank in Washington state was closed over the weekend and Washington Federal Savings &nd Loan Assoc. will assume all of the failed bank's deposits of $1.1 bln. The FDIC pegged the cost to its deposit insurance fund at $513 mln. This marked the first bank failure in 2010 and now 162 banks have failed since the recession that began end-2007. There are 552 banks on FDIC "problem list". FDIC expects $100 bln in deposit related charges thru-2011. During S&L crisis from 1988-1992, 818 banks were shut down.

Forbes: Why do you think the Federal Reserve needs to be audited?
Dr. Ron Paul: For lots of reasons. I don't believe in secrecy. I don't think anyone should have so much power that they can create money out of thin air and spend it and interfere in the markets and do central economic planning without any oversight. Congress has a responsibility to know what they're doing because they created the Fed, they're very, very important, and people benefit from their actions. And I'd like to know who benefits and who suffers the consequence. I just think that it would be in the interest of the people to know exactly what the Fed is doing.

It is worth noting that the last upswing of Eur/Usd within the flag didn't even reach the upper flag trendline after the "good-bad" US data release.
For last Friday, seems as Euro bulls were not that convinced.
Some analysts even find some positives in the data, so fundamentals views are confused, then one has to wait for a convincing breakout of the flag pattern(up or down).

So you predict EUR/USD to trade between 1.4502 and 1.4202 during the next session? Otherwise not really sure how valuable levels every 20 pips in between are. I mean, how are they meant to be traded?
