Coming up today:

• FOMC member Pianalto speaking at 18.30 is the only economic item of note today.


Bet Idea:

• The USD/JPY is now rising for its eight day in a row ostensibly because of rumours of a Bank of Japan intervention. The last week’s rally has pushed the pair some way off the lows of the summer and even further from the 2011 lows.

• While the medium term trend might be higher, in the shorter term the could be a correction here as the yen sell off overboils.

A good way to play this might be a LOWER trade predicting that the USD/JPYcloses below 79.15 in 7 days for a potential return of 227%.
