| Can anyone in the Northeast US… Posted: …explain to me what that bright spot in the sky is? It is moving very slowly from east to west. I vaguely remember seeing it before, but it has been a long, long time… |

| US SEC Fills Chief Economist Position Vacant Since March 2010 Posted: By Yali N’Diaye WASHINTON (MNI) – Starting in June, the Securities and Exchange Commission will finally have a chief economist, the agency announced Friday, filling a key position that had been left empty since March 2010.

| Posted: Just far enough to trigger the weak stops…cruel market… Back down to 1.4192 now. |
| Posted: All Greece/all the time in the morning followed by the inevitable bounce. Oil is now up on the day, Stocks have recovered much of their earlier losses; Gold holds its bid, EUR/USD is challenging resistance between 1.4195/1.4205… Stops above 1.4210 are looking vulnerable. |
| Former 1.4195/1.4205 support now keeping a lid on Posted: EUR/USD’s short-covering rally ran into fresh selling from stale longs on the rebound to the former area of support between 1.4195 and 1.4205. We’ve eased back to the 1.4170 area thus far. With any luck we settle into a consolidation in the 1.4140/90 area in thin Friday afternoon trade. Barring any secret meetings in Luxembourg [...] |
| Greece: Fitch downgrade ignores additional Greek pledges Posted: Well lads, ya see, this is how it works: Make a bunch of pledges and fail to keep them and people begin to ignore your pledges… Fitch influenced by press rumors |
| Big bounce in commodities as EUR holds support Posted: EUR/USD held support at the 1.4120/25 level (I wonder if the central banks were active down there again) and commodity markets have bounced back strongly, led by gold which is playing its traditional safe-haven role. Oil is well-off early lows, now at $97.60 and the CRB is actually up on the day now. Small stops [...] |

| EUR/CHF leads EUR/USD out of the dive Posted: EUR/CHF held the 1.2400 level and is now bouncing on short-covering, trading at 1.2440. EUR/USD has bounced to the 1.4165 area after bouncing from a 1.4139 low. Expect the next 60-90 minutes to remain hectic while traders crawl will into their shell pretty quickly after that… 1.4195 is resistance on rebounds near-term. |
| 1.2400 under heavy assault in EUR/CHF Posted: Barriers and stops at 1.2400 are under attack. Watch for a snap-back bounce if that goal is achieved…Be wary of selling the break.. Sell the bounce if you are so inclined. 1.24025 the low so far on EBS. |
| Posted: Remember, there was loads of sovereign buying down there last time. Won’t be pretty if we slide through there without a fight… 1.4050 is further support, followed by the key 1.4000 level where barriers galore are struck. |
