The cash rate is 3.5%. The latest 12 months CPI was 1.3%. That leaves NZ together with NZ as the only countries with positive real rates of return. Australia has, however, only 0.2% real rate of return. This alone makes NZD really attractive.
On the other hand fundamentals are weak. Plus China and other emerging market economies are weakening. Its possible that with FOMC now behind us the market may concentrate on the fundamentals.
AUD/NZD is probably the best indicator.

OCR unchanged at 3.5 percent
Statement issued by Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler:
The global economy is growing at a moderate rate although recent data suggests some softening in the major economies, apart from the United States. Monetary policy is expected to remain supportive for longer in all the major economies.
Growth in the New Zealand economy has been faster than trend over 2014, reducing unemployment and adding to demands on productive capacity. Strong construction sector activity, high net immigration, and interest rates, which remain low by historic standards, continue to support the expansion. Output growth is expected to moderate over coming years, towards a more sustainable rate.
Lower commodity prices and increased global financial market volatility have taken some pressure off the New Zealand dollar. However, its current level remains unjustified and unsustainable and continues to constrain growth in the tradables sector. We expect a further significant depreciation.
CPI inflation remains modest, and was 1 percent in the year to September. Contributing factors are subdued wage inflation, well-anchored inflation expectations, weak global inflation, falls in oil prices, and the high New Zealand dollar. House price inflation has fallen significantly since late-2013, in part due to interest rate increases and the LVR restrictions.
The economy appears to be adjusting to the policy measures undertaken by the Bank over the past year. CPI inflation is currently at a low level despite above-trend growth. However, inflation is expected to increase as the expansion continues. A period of assessment remains appropriate before considering further policy adjustment

When the Committee decides to begin to remove policy accommodation, it will take a balanced approach consistent with its longer-run goals of maximum employment and inflation of 2 percent. The Committee currently anticipates that, even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the Committee views as normal in the longer run.

No DOTS and no QE extensions today so with the demise of QE the only tool the Fed has left is an announcement re: the investment allocation of the interest and maturing proceeds on the massive balance sheet -- everything else is market interpretation of promises -- no guarantees and no actions // even language changes "considerable, extended or whatever period" can change interpretation but it is mere conjecture (and certainly not binding on this Crew) -- so until you see the whites of the eyes of an actual rate hike nothing actually changes
There is no plan for an exit or for control if balance sheet leakage occurs - the ship is on automatic pilot

QE Didn't Work Anyhow
Regardless, QE3 clearly was a boon for financial markets. Since the Fed announced a third round of quantitative easing in September 2012, the Dow has risen 26% while suffering no declines of 10% or more. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note has risen to a modest 2.284% and the price of Nymex crude-oil futures has tumbled 17%.
The question now is what comes next. The Dow fell after previous stimulus rounds amid weak global growth. Signs that Europe is struggling with deflation could hit stocks around the world in coming months, analysts say.
For now, the Fed will continue buying bonds only to replace maturing debt. Officials have made clear they don�t expect to resume full-scale stimulus soon. But they also have left the door open just in case.

In short: the simple reason why there is no more liquidity in cash Treasury securities (Treasury futures are a different matter entirely) is because the Fed is now the proud owner of a majority stake of what once was the most liquid maturity across the most liquid bond market in the world.
So the next time the market freaks out and bonds have a 12 sigma move, once the shock and awe passes, fee free to send your thank you cards to the Marriner Eccles building for destroying what once upon a time was the deepest, most liquid market in the world.

"the volume of applications for home purchases is the lowest since August 1995".... so the lowest in a fairly long time.
QE has not 'helped' the economy. I remain of the view that the intent of QE was never to 'help' the economy but rather to ensure that the Government could roll over existing debt at extremely low levels of interest. That happened. Now bond yields are starting to creep higher (at the short end where it counts). The question is: now what?
I think we all know what the answer is to that and it's ugly.

The FOMC decision drops later today, and there is little chance the committee will not end the QE bond buying program as expected. All eyes are on whether the "considerable time" language remains a part of the statement or gets removed. Whether it goes now or in December, Fed watchers expect it to be replaced by something similar in spirit but without any calendar-based overtones.

WASHINGTON�Hedge funds and other rapid-fire investors can get access to market-moving documents ahead of other users of the Securities and Exchange Commission�s system for distributing company filings, giving them a potential edge on the rest of the market.
Two separate groups of academic researchers have documented a lag time between the moment paying subscribers, including trading firms, newswires and others, receive the filings via a direct feed from an SEC contractor and when the documents are publicly available on the agency�s website.
The studies found a wide variation in the lag time, from no delay to one lasting more than a minute�a considerable advantage for computer-driven traders. The ability to get the information before it is on the SEC site can give traders precious seconds to act on the news.

loonie. interesting opening, move straight lower through yesterdays 65 support. leaves daily candle with two options. first option a sharp move to 11094/11104. generally, when we fail to retrace a good portion of the previous periods range, we tend to get a sharp move in the prevailing direction. normally i would expect to see 11190-11206 (the second option ie. we do some back towards the end of the session), but given the early price action a move to the suggested range of 11094-11104 is quite possible. its fomc night and we could do the extension down to 1.11, then they see or hear something they dont like and we go to 11206 plus. this is a possibility and i will certain be looking for a rebound as a base view from 1.11.

Red - I think the RBNZ is worried about deflation. I feel the attached chart is driving policy. There is no room for a policy tightening now.

RBNZ Decision early Thursday
"In tomorrow's OCR Review, we expect the OCR to remain unchanged at 3.50%, the pause duration to extend, and the resumption of the tightening cycle to become conditional. All this is currently priced in, such that 2yr swap rates should not move materially in response." -- Westpac NZ

QE - The end which is not the end
Federal Reserve accounting rules call for net income to be remitted to the Treasury, after covering operating expenses, paying dividends to member banks, and reserving funds to equate surplus capital to paid-in capital. Remittances were nearly $80 billion in 2013.

FXStreet (Ł�dź) - The eFXnews team remark that the SEB sees the recent rise in EUR/USD as just a correction to the earlier decline.
Key quotes
"Even though our call yesterday for a potentially completed upward correction was proven wrong we continue to see the climb as merely a correction to the preceding descent."
"Resistance above 1.2740 should be firming so we doubt to find strength enough to stray away too far from that area."

QE - The end which is not the end

As with the end of the war in Iraq which was not the end of the war in Iraq , the end of QE3 will not be the end of QE.
Santa Claus Yellen keeps reinvesting the interest collected on the FED s $ trillion bondporfolio , + $ 160 billion a year.
As Bullard said if the stock market should ever correct by 10% a new QE4 may be announced .
Contrary to what she says Yellen is pro income inequality and will do whatever it takes to reactionary keep the status quo and protect her banker and hedge fund friends happy.
What is good for JoeSixpack , falling oil , has Yellen worried .She doesnt want Joe to be happy as shown in US consumer confidence .

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views
29 Oct 2014 02:08GMT
USD/JPY...... Despite dlr's volatile trading in Tuesday's NY session after release of mixed U.S. eco data, price rebounded after meeting renewed buying at 107.70 and traded firmly against the yen in NY afternoon.
Dlr rose above European high of 108.17 to a fresh intra-day high of 108.19 near NY close and then marginally higher to 108.23 in Tokyo morning on the rally in Nikkei index (currently up 1.36% to 15538).
Although cross-selling in yen on improved risk appetite after yesterday's rally in global stocks suggests buying on dips is recommended, sharp gain above Monday's 2-week peak at 108.37 is not envisaged as market participants are reluctant to enter large position ahead of the release of FOMC statement later in NY afternoon today.
The Fed is widely expected to announce the end of its bond-buying program today, though uncertainty as to whether or not the statement will contain dovish or hawkish language surrounding interest rates. As no press conference is scheduled, market won't hear any comments from Fed Chair Janet Yellen.
At present, bids are noted at 108.00-107.90 and around 107.80 with mixture of bids and stops emerging below 107.60.
On the upside, offers are placed at 108.30-40 and then 108.50 with stops located just above 108.70, however, heavy selling interest from various accounts is touted in the 108.90-109.10 region.
Wednesday will see the release of Japan's industrial output, New Zealand ANZ business outlook, U.K. mortgage approval and mortgage lending, Canada's producer prices, FOMC rate decision and Fed's monetary policy statement.

Closing Summary
All one can conclude from today�s bizarre rally is �no news is good news� and that�s about the sum of it. Bulls did cherry-pick Consumer Confidence but not for the reasons one would suspect. They believed the nonsense that respondents to the survey saw better income ahead. That is probably due to the savings coming from gas expenses period. There may also be some idea that the senate will fall to republicans which may or may not be the case.
Anyway, we�re quickly overbought ahead of the Fed meeting.

Beware of Currency Hedgers
After an extended period of low volatility the forex market has seen activity pick up and daily ranges widen. This has come as a relief to many as it has opened up opportunities to trade. For many retail traders, they treat the market the same no matter how conditions change. I feel it is important to understand the dynamics of the market so you can adjust when conditions change as I will explain in this article.
