Many market participants are looking dumbstruck at the miraculous surge in Dow Transports, Small Caps, and Homebuilders this week off the bond-short-puke lows of Wednesday morning. The answer - sadly for those who believe this is presaging new new highs and utopia once again - is that this was the biggest weekly short-squeeze in 11 months... and more troubling for the bulls - it ran out of steam today

Ms. Yellen expressed concern about "lower-income families without assets" that "can end up, very suddenly, off the road." She therefore advised families to "take the small steps that over time can lead to the accumulation of considerable assets." She did not, however, explain how they were to accumulate these assets, in light of falling incomes and zero interest rates.
This uncomfortable disconnect between theory and reality also came out during her Senate confirmation hearings last fall. Given the predicament of "the little person out there who is just trying to pay the bills and maybe put a buck away for retirement," Ms. Yellen was asked to "explain to the senior citizen who is just hoping that CD will earn some money" the impact of "a policy that says, for as far as the eye can see ... keep interest rates low." She replied: "I understand ... that savers are hurt by this policy, [but] savers wear a lot of different hats...They may be retirees who are hoping to get part-time work in order to supplement their income."
In essence, despite a zero interest rate policy that mainly helps the wealthy, struggling families with falling incomes ought to take steps to accumulate "considerable assets,"

I gave two good clues this week for trading this pair.
I pointed out 1.27 as the midpoint of 1.25-1.29 and a pivotal bias setting level + potential support as it was making a run at it Wednesday when the low was 1.2706
I have been pointing out 1.29-1.30 as the tough zone and it never really made a serious run at it after the high set at 1.2887 on Tuesday. I also showed my side as long as it did not get above 1.2850.
Then all you needed to do today was take a cue from 1.28 and John guided you to the daily pivot.
I hope my charts are of help painting the picture as this is what I use to trade.

Fed worried about Europe ? Draghi worried about USA ?
FXStreet (Łódź) - Boston Fed president Eric Rosengren said in an interview for CNBC on Friday that it was too early to decide whether the end of QE3 should be delayed due to the recent turmoil on stock markets and worse economic data.
"I would remind you though that just a couple months ago we were talking about how little turbulence there was. It's going to take us a little time to fully process what exactly is the reason for the turbulence," he said.
Rosengren pointed to mid-2015 as still the most probable time for the first rate hike and added that further QE wasn't expected although not totally ruled out.
Rosengren added that what worries the Fed is the deteriorating situation in Europe.

And capital is eroded through inflation and drawdowns to meet living expenses.
Australian superannuation accounts have one of the highest ratios of funds invested in equities. Over the least three years that has helped maintain high rates of return for those with a major proportion of their funds in equities. On the other hand those with their capital invested in a secure fund are getting almost nothing. After the fund takes their commission (1% to 3%) and government income tax of 15% on earnings is paid there is little to no return to the accountholder. The ramifications of the zero interest rate policy will be felt for years to come. Regardless whether workers are required in future to work until they are older, when they eventually retire they aren't going to have an income sufficient to maintain a decent lifestyle.

Bullard perfect timing before option expiration
Reply
"The big event from yesterday’s trading session was of course the comment from St Louis Fed President Bullard who suggested the Fed should consider delaying the end of QE3 when it meets on 28th-29th October. The comment helped reverse renewed dollar gains after Wednesday’s sell-off while 10-year US Treasury yields moved higher and the equity markets stabilised."
"While the comment is certainly notable it remains questionable whether Bullard’s view implies a real chance of a delay being agreed. Of course a lot depends on how the markets are behaving in the days of the meeting but Bullard’s views on the economy and policy are at the very least best described as “fluid”! I’ve seen this morning a description of Bullard as an “arch hawk” – we disagree with that description."
"Bullard is best described as sitting more centrally with a tendency to swing from hawk to dove and back again. He went from hawk to then earlier this year shifting to a more dovish stance due to concerns over inflation."
"Then as recently as 3rd October he argued that the Fed had shown considerable patience already in not raising rates and repeated that rates should be raised in Q1 2015. Indeed, while suggesting a QE delay yesterday Bullard was not willing to change his view on a Q1 2015 rate increase."
"So we’re not convinced that Bullard is indicative of FOMC thinking and believe the FOMC will at this stage still be leaning for a QE3 end later this month. Of course, the meeting is still just under two weeks away, so a lot will depend on financial market developments between now and then."

While QE benefits the rich, the poor and not so wealthy are not the only ones getting hit.
Here's a real-life example.
My mother-in-law lives off the interest earned from a term deposit.
In December 2009 I invested her money for three years at 7.5% which generated $37,500 per annum. She was entitled to a part pension but had to pay income tax. At current rates she would have been square.
In December 2012 the term deposit was renewed for a further three years at 4.5%. Her income declined to $22,500. Since then she receives $12,000.
Next year the deposit falls due again. Current three year rate is 3.7%. Her income will reduce to $18,500, She will then receive $15,000 from the government.
There's also an assets test for Australian pensions. A single person can own $772,000, excluding the family home and still claim a pension. At the interest rate in 2009 the pensioner would have paid the taxman $10,000.
In 2012 the pensioner receives $3,500.
In 2015 the pensioner receives $ 8,100.
This is happening as the population ages and government finances are stressed.

pretty much the story of Asia - was initial short covering in xxx/jpy

but since hitting those points - its cooling off .. in terms of the USD it was selling first and buying back second - the opposite of what would have been a more ideal trade... going into Europe.
we will have to see from here.

USD/JPY - ....... Statement from BoJ Kuroda, quote:
'there is no doubt BoJ will end QQE if Japan hits 2% inflation and this price level is maintained stably;
too early to debate exit strategy for QQE now, how to exit will depend on market, economic developments at the time;
talking about specific exit strategies now could cause confusion when communicating with market.'
While statement from BoJ Deputy Gov Iwata quote:
'BoJ is internally making ssimulations on exit strategy, but too early to consider one now;
Japan still half way in meeting boJ's 2% inflation target.'
Japan's FinMin Taro Aso said no plan now to review Japan's foreign reserves.
Friday will see the release of Japan's Tankan, Germany's whole price index, eurozone GDP, U.S. building permits and housing starts, Canada's CPI and preliminary U.S. University of Michigan sentiment.

GBP/USD Biased Up as Sterling Demand on Cross Trades Support -- Market Talk
Reply
GBP/USD is likely to trade in a higher range Friday, supported by waning investor risk aversion and sterling demand on cross trades versus major currencies. But GBP/USD gains are tempered by improved USD sentiment. The daily chart is positive-biased as the MACD & stochastics are bullish. Resistance is at 1.6126-1.6135 (Monday's high-Oct. 10 high); a breach would expose the upside to 1.6226 (Oct. 9 high). Support is at 1.6009 (hourly chart), then at 1.5940 (Thursday's low). Spot GBP/USD is at 1.6083.

USD Possibly Overvalued Compared With Treasury Yields -- Market Talk
Reply
The USD fell against rivals other than the JPY in New York trading hours despite upbeat U.S. economic indicators, in a sign that the greenback at the moment is possibly overvalued compared with the level of Treasury yields, says J.P. Morgan in a morning note. "The USD shows only a limited decline, when compared with the magnitude of recent falloff in U.S. interest rates." Even assuming an end to the cycle (in which negative surprises from U.S. economic indicators diminish hopes for the Fed's monetary tightening and then pulls down U.S. bond yields), it is uncertain if the USD will strengthen against its rivals across the board. The USD/JPY is now at 106.37 against 106.33 late Thursday in New York.

If experts recommend travel ban or other steps, "we'll do it," says Pres Obama.
Pres Obama says it may be appropriate to appoint a person to oversee Ebola response. Will let us know if he does.
