every qe ended with stock fall. so far the current fall has been minor. only uk is going to grow faster than US this year but gbp is hampered by brexit as well as a bigger deflation drag (thanks to euroland) than US will experience, hence dollar will be the place to be out of default (rates dont need to rise for dollar to rally if elsewhere deflation is worry). once the rate raise is priced out of 2015, dollar becomes king again as deflation is going to hit other regions much harder.

�At approximately 1:00 a.m. MT on October 15, Frontier was notified by the CDC that a customer traveling on Frontier Airlines flight 1143 Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth on Oct. 13 has since tested positive for the Ebola virus. The flight landed in Dallas/Fort Worth at 8:16 p.m. local and remained overnight at the airport having completed its flying for the day at which point the aircraft received a thorough cleaning per our normal procedures which is consistent with CDC guidelines prior to returning to service the next day. It was also cleaned again in Cleveland last night. Previously the customer had traveled from Dallas Fort Worth to Cleveland on Frontier flight 1142 on October 10.

Tony Blair had to call off a book tour in the U.K. and reportedly can't go out in the streets safely, such is the level of animosity towards the man in the U.K., the assumption is that he lied knowingly and blatantly about the need to attack Iraq. He is hated for that.
Will FED officials in the U.S. face the same fate? I note that U.S. officials tend to travel in massive security convoys. I guess they know they are hated. I can't imagine what Yellen will say at the NEXT little FED shin dig. What on earth can she say? Er, sorry... we didn't mean it. Anyone got a spare bunker?

The mandate of the Federal Reserve is
1) to serve all the American people,
2) help ensure that everyone has the opportunity to work hard and build a better life. We can ensure that inflation remains in check and doesn't undermine the benefits of a growing economy.
3) We can and must safeguard the financial system

As for the rest of the day, its all about stocks which appear to be stabilizing for now. The panic in stocks was triggered (catalyst) by the Retail Sales, PPI and Empire PMI data on the open. Stock sellers then moved into bonds (buying).
The RISK for the balance of the session is whether there will be another wave of margin selling in equities later. Personally I would not even hazard a guess is that is in the cards.

"new research reveals that what was once a privilege is now a burden, undermining job growth, pumping up budget and trade deficits and inflating financial bubbles. To get the American economy on track, the government needs to drop its commitment to maintaining the dollar�s reserve-currency status."

All the feel good stories about the U.S. economies are starting to look shaky. And the USD is in big trouble. Yellen is gonna have to decide what to do. An end to QE no problem. If she wants the stock market to hold (I'm presuming she does) she will have to come across all dovish. Which means they let the USD slide some more. Given the rhetoric out there (I'm even hearing 'experts' questioning the wisdom of the USD reserve currency status) a slide in the USD from current levels will not be resisted and may even be welcomed.

the catalyst is fear
the manifestation is folks pulling money from stocks and going into (near)cash
chief FED gang meddler yellen might be "worried" about fear morphing into panic. But what can she do and, more importantly besides worry, what will she do. Players didnt like the two previous attempts at their QE punchbowl being taken away, 2x FED gang back off.

- 1.2650 continues to be its focal point, traded each day this week and is around the midpoint of last week's 1.2507-1.2792 range
- Current resistance (minor) is around 1.2679, guards a return to 1.2700.
- Has traded above its weekly pivot (1.2605) all week
- Unwinding of carry trades (e.g. borrowing cheap EUR to invest in other assets, such as equities, commodities, etc) may be providing some support.
- This comes in a market that is still bearish and looking for EURUSD to eventually trade lower but waiting for a trigger from the ECB (e.g. QE)
- Expectations have changed to looking for a dovish FOMC in 2 weeks time, which could restrain the dollar upside ahead of it.
So to sum it up, momentum has slowed, equities are lower again, oil remains under pressure and fx seems like a sideshow in comparison.
Next up is US retail sales - look beyond the headline for underlying strength or weakness.

JP- 2.00% offered for the 10-yr yield would be a major move. I'm not sure what the catalyst would be, but then I'm having trouble figuring out why yields have fallen this far. If I were Yellen, I would definitely be troubled by current developments.

EURUSD 12630 confirmed
EURUSD can't get out of the way of 1.2650, the level I pointed out in my weekly outlook video (around the midpoint of last week's range). A limited upside (suggests selling rallies) ahead of Draghi's speech has worked for overnight trading. Now it is probably time to step aside as the US opens with its focus on equities.

lead of overseas activity. We will see. U.K. employment data reported
today improved, but fell short of street expectations. Bond yields
generally are depressed� The
EURUSD is trading lower below 1.2700.
- Yields in prime Eurozone fixed income markets are
lower.�
The Peripheral bond yields are mostly down, but volatile Greek yields
are
up. The U.K.10-yr gilt yield is
lower� The U.S. bond markets yields are below 2.20%.

USD/JPY - ..... Earlier Japanese Economics Minister Akira Amari said today the gov't is not pursuing a policy to intentionally weaken the yen.
Amari, speaking in parliament, said it is necessary to monitor any negative impact from rising import prices.
Some cited his comments may have contributed to dlr's intra-day retreat from 107.41.
The greenback swung from gain to loss in volatile Tokyo trading on Wed as various comments from Japan officials have confused traders.
Despite climbing in Australia after touching a fresh 1-month low of 106.67 in Europe yesterday due to cross-buying of yen, anticipated rebound in the Nikkei prompted short covering, dlr easily penetrated NY high of 107.12 n rallied to intra-day high of 107.41 ahead of Tokyo open after tripping stops above 107.30. Present retreat on renewed cross-buying of yen possibly after Japan's Economy minister Amari's comment suggests choppy sideways trading is in store.
Offers are noted at 107.30/40 n more at 107.55/60 would stops touted above there. Initial bids have been raised to 107.05-00 n more below should keep dlr trading above said yesterday's low. Therefore, with the Nikkei now in positive territory after recent losing streak, buying dlr on dips is favoured.
Earlier, BoJ senior official said 'BoJ's QE has caused rates to fall, making it easier for banks to increase lending; increase in money stock helps support demand for funding, supports overall economy.'
'no comment on specific FX levels;
in general, weak yen is positive for exports and companies operating globally; weak yen can be negative for some small firms and importers;
weak yen can put pressure on real household incomes;
BoJ gov Kuroda thinks that as long as FX moves in line with fundamentals, weak yen is positive.'
Wednesday will see the release of China's CPI and PPI, Japan's industrial production, Germany's final CPI and HICP, U.K. ILO unemployment rate and claimant count unemployment change, Swiss ZEW investor sentiment, U.S. retail sales, NY Fed manufacturing, core PPI final demand, business inventories and Fed's Beige book.
