Coming up today:

• This morning, we have the ECB bulletin at 09.00. A 10 year UK bond auction runs throughout the day.

• At 13.30, we have US PPI figures, with unemployment claims released at the same time.

The FOMC statement is released at 17.30, with Fed funds expected to remain the same. The big news will be around the start of a third round of Quantitative Easing. The FOMC economic projections are released at 19.00, with the press conference to follow at 19.15.


Bet Idea:

• There are no guarantees that the Fed action a new round of QE today, with some commentators indicating this might come after the US elections. Ultimately, only the Fed knows what it intends to do, but there is potential for the dollar to strengthen today if no action is forthcoming.

The US dollar has been beaten up as the euro heads in the other direction. It might only be a short term move, but there’s potential here for the EUR/USD to drop back.


A good way to play this might be a ONE TOUCH trade predicting that the EUR/USD touches 1.2800 in 1 days time for a potential return of 107%.
