Oops... clownbuck surged! DX hit 80.00 after dovish Europeans. Bonds are still weak.

British pound massacred...

it crashed in like 30 seconds.

US Bonds are at the lowest level today, well the fed is still asleep. Maybe they buy up bonds later..

Perhaps the clownbuck for more than a trade... quite the sea change after numbers. No dollar sellers whatsoever.

How easy it became to call off a currency crisis and create another, these days. Shocking.

And after the poor European election result which strengthened the right wing and weakens the prospects of the Union... the buck shows further hefty gains bringing the DX to nearly 81.50

1.38 and still little traces of EUR buying.

I look at treasuries to buy, in earnest (for a swing trade).

Why: the overhang in the short term rates has been resolved on friday with the big spike in funding rates; stocks weak means flatteners will come out. then the fed could still buy paper at the new lower prices. Remember, it deflated from 142 to 113 (+ carry), so a 6, 7 points gain is not out of the world.

Well, by now the rebound has been massaged away. I really thought the dollar is stronger as the short term rates jumped. It is appearently not, just volatile.

Today some numbers are due:

Right now, UK produce and trade data and at 8:30 the U.S. trade balance. Since the dollar was stronger recently the trade balance could be more passive ...
