Some very minor quasi-tightening noise to send a clear signal the liquidity largesse is about over, or prop the dollar, or both. They cut QE program by 25 bln. I'm not sure that will be enough to prop the dollar. They actually need to raise rates and keep printing for that, I am not sure QE has any bearing on carry trade whatsoever, it's not in "the model". <G> RBA bumped 25 this week.
