...The dollar pared its gains, however, after St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said in a television interview with Bloomberg that the Fed might want to keep its bond-buying program running for longer than anticipated given a drop in inflation expectations.
Analysts said the comments fueled the British sterling's rise against the dollar, since it bolstered the view that the Bank of England could tighten monetary policy before the U.S. Fed, even though Bullard said that he still viewed a rate hike in the first quarter of next year as appropriate....RTRS

By using high-powered computers, complex algorithms, and rapid-fire trades, Athena manipulated the closing prices of tens of thousands of stocks during the final seconds of almost every trading day during the Relevant Period.
Although Athena was a relatively small firm, it dominated the market for these stocks in the last few seconds. Its trades made up over 70% of the total NASDAQ trading volume of the affected stocks in the seconds before the close of almost every trading day.

"Eurozone industrial production fell sharply in May, notching a 1.1 percent month-on-month decline that was led by a drop in the production of intermediate goods such as vehicles as well as non-durable items such as food.
Although it sounds trivial, a calendar issue likely exaggerated the drop in industrial production. When bank holidays fall on a Thursday in Europe, workers tend to take Friday off as well to have a long weekend. But official statistics still count the Friday as a full working day, which puts a damper on output. Over the past 30 years, Eurozone industrial production has contracted an average of nearly 2 percent in May in years when May Day occurred on a Thursday."

Watch peripheral bonds -- I'm sure this "just in" is coincidental
"The European Central Bank said it will reduce the risk premium on Greek collateral submitted by banks, while denying it’s acting in response to market turmoil.
“The decision foresees that the current haircuts are lowered, in view of the overall improved market conditions for Greek government-related assets since 2013,” an ECB spokesperson said in an e-mailed statement today. “The decision should by no means be viewed as an ad-hoc reaction to the most-recent market stress.”
Greek bonds have plunged and yields have surged this week amid a global market slump and concern the government won’t be able to fund itself adequately if it sticks to plans for an early exit from an international bailout program. The change in collateral policy for government and government-guaranteed debt eases access to liquidity for Greek lenders."

something that not many people here trade .. the NZD
in a normal Asian Day we manage to sell this currency at least 30 points often 50 and sometimes 100 on any rally .. but today it has been very subdued
on the chart 7955 is broken ma .. and next one @8040-45
that is probably where it is going and looks a better sell from there.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

USD/JPY - ..... Dlr is nursing loss after yesterday's brief but sharp fall to a 5-week trough of 105.20 as release of a surprise sharp drop in U.S. retail sales (September monthly sales fell 0.3% vs forecast of -0.1%, previous reading was +0.6%) proved to be the 'catalyst' for a broad-based sell off in global stocks with the Dow having fallen 458 points after the data.
The broad-based weakness in global equities also triggered sharp fall in the Nikkei futures (N225 futures closed down 535 points) led to active buying of yen on risk aversion.
Although recovery in U.S. stocks plus rebound in the benchmark 10-year U.S. treasury yields (10Y had one of the biggest intra-day moves in over a decade fell from 2.20% to 1.85%, lowest since mid-2013) lifted dlr to 106.40 on short-covering, price moved narrowly for rest of NY afternoon session.
The lack of a movement in Tokyo trading is a surprise, no bargain hunters, no short-term specs selling dlr on stop-hunting etc suggests buyers & sellers are evenly balanced.
Although Nikkei is currently trading at a 4-1/2 month low of 14763 (down 310 points), yen is weak on the crosses, suggesting range trading would continue in Asia as traders are on the sideline.
Offers are noted at 106.30/40 and more above with stops above 106.70. Initial bids are reported at 105.80-60 area with stops touted below 105.20.
Thursday will see the release of New Zealand's manufacturing PMI, consumer inflation expectation, eurozone trade balance and CPI, U.S. initial jobless claims, industrial and manufacturing output, NAHB housing market index, Philly Fed business index, Net L-T flows and overall capital flows.

Pretty busy night to say the least and you couldn't expect Asia to really be able to decipher what it all means in one session.
I'd imagine $yen is going to be offered every 20 points and stops aren't going to be a factor till 107.30 +
on the downside 105.50 probably provides a temporary bottom just simply due to the speed of the move.
If I can say one thing about last night - the USD was getting sold heavily about 30-45 minutes before the numbers then everything else kicked in and that just led to a waterfall .. so it really was a fix if you ask me.
