nzvik - keep in mind they did not raise the fed funds rate. This raise only applies to the discount window. It is the rate banks pay when they need to borrow money from the Fed. We indeed may not see an increase of the actual benchmark rate in 2010.

I would not underestimate the PPT. They will probably push Kiwi to .7120, Aussie to .91ish and dump usd/cad to the mid-lower 1.03s before allowing any renewed usd strength/equity weakness.

Pipped... that must have been Joe Terranova. I remember him recently saying you must have exposure to oil. The next day it dropped from 77 to 73, the biggest % drop in one trading session ever!

Amiro

I think you need to ignore the daily news flow and focus more on the technicals. Nothing has really changed with Greece, the Euro was simply oversold. It was time for a counter-trend rally. Likewise, often great news can come out that should send a currency higher. However, if that pair is seen as overbought, traders will take profits and it will plummet. The news flow typically just provides moments in time that can be used as excuses for a rally or a sell-off. The logical common sense reaction to a news report is often the wrong hand to play.
