Yield levels
USD vs. EUR differentials have gained in the period shown ~(120bp to 140bp) as German economy slows and U.S. continues to advance at a steady pace.
On the other hand, USD vs. GBP yields have flipped to positive on a spate of weaker than expected UK data ~( -15bp to +5bp)
GBP vs EUR ~(+140 to +140). Relative growth rate of the UK economy remains stronger than Germany.
IMPLICATIONS FOR CURRENCIES
USD should be supported
GBP should get SOME support
EUR should remain weaker

EZ Stress Test Report
Golden Rule (Alan Greenspan)
... "The broader issue -- a return to the gold standard in any form -- is nowhere on anybody’s horizon. It has few supporters in today’s virtually universal embrace of fiat currencies and floating exchange rates. Yet gold has special properties that no other currency, with the possible exception of silver, can claim. For more than two millennia, gold has had virtually unquestioned acceptance as payment. It has never required the credit guarantee of a third party. No questions are raised when gold or direct claims to gold are offered in payment of an obligation; it was the only form of payment, for example, that exporters to Germany would accept as World War II was drawing to a close. Today, the acceptance of fiat money -- currency not backed by an asset of intrinsic value -- rests on the credit guarantee of sovereign nations endowed with effective taxing power, a guarantee that in crisis conditions has not always matched the universal acceptability of gold."

EZ Stress Test Report
A group of 25 banks have failed European stress tests, while up to 10 of those continue to have a capital shortfall, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.
Bloomberg News first reported the results of the tests, which are due on Sunday. Currency strategists said this just added more fuel to the short-covering that has supported the euro's position.
"It is all speculation at this point and the ECB tried to remind us of that. It just highlights that this is a risk that is not as negative perhaps as was priced in," said Camilla Sutton, chief currency strategist at Scotiabank in Toronto....RTRS

“We expect markets to remain tough” Unilever CEO Paul Polman
"As I look at the markets, economy etc., as a comprehensive picture, I don't see any pressing need for the Fed to do much next week." - john 14:31 GMT 10/24/2014

EBOLA
The announcement comes one day after an American doctor, who had worked in Guinea and returned to New York City earlier in October, tested positive for Ebola and became the first New York patient of the deadly virus.
“A voluntary Ebola quarantine is not enough,” said Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York. “This is too serious a public health situation.”
The rapid escalation of screening measures came as a surprise after a day in which public officials had gone to great lengths to ease public anxiety.
It was also taken without consulting the New York City health department, according to a senior city official.
Earlier in the day, the White House sidestepped questions about whether a quarantine of health care workers was being considered.
