NEW YORK -- There were no erroneous trades on shares of Procter & Gamble or in any other shares at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, said Eric Ryan, a spokesman for the exchange. A massive selloff of stocks on Thursday afternoon saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunge nearly 1,000 points triggering the NYSE's circuit breakers. During that time, P&G shares were seen sliding on trading screens by more than 60% to trade as low as $39.37. The NYSE says they only traded as low as $56. A number of other erroneous trades were reported, including in shares of Accenture and Apple . According to media reports, the Nasdaq stock exchange, where electronic trade takes place, was looking into the trades. The heads of the Securities and Exchange Commission convened the heads of both the NYSE and the Nasdaq to discuss some trades and whether they should be honored.

Ashraf,
Just now I booked my USDCAD long which I initiated at 1.0112 even booked my short Euro position initiated near 1.3320 at 1.2648( I mentioned these positions last month April). Ashraf, just now I took some long positions in EURUSD at 1.2650 and long one crude at $76.80(NYMEX current).Is it too early to go long?
Regards,
Rajib.

ECB leaves rates unchanged, introduces no measures to improve liquidity, market function. Did not discuss buying bonds, Trichet says.
S&P affirms Italian debt rating, quelling rumors of downgrade
Merkel: Market is exaggerating tensions, speculators are our adversaries
Greece passes austerity law; rioting resumes
Merkel: IMF had to act on Greece because Europe could not act alone
German cuts tax revenue estimates, Italy cuts growth outlook
Feds Bernanke: US economy continues to strengthen
US jobless claims fall to 444,000 from 448,000
Trading error in S&P 500 rumored to have sparked nearly 8% US equity slide intraday
Ive seen quite a few market panics in my nearly 25 years in the market but today was definitely one of the top ten and maybe one of the top five Oct 1987. Black Tuesday 1992, and the days after the Lehman collapse might rival today, but few top it
Markets were already under extremely intense pressure at mid-afternoon in New York with more rioting in Athens flashing across traders screen when US equities went into an epic freefall, never before seen in terms of the speed of the move, in my experience. The Down fell almost 1000 points intraday, the S&P 500 fell more than 100 points and all the other markets came completely unglued. Credit began to freeze like it did in 2007 through early 2009 and the market -making function almost seized.
It would not surprise me at all to hear of central banks intervening in markets tomorrow, not to change the markets direction so much as to try and lower volatility.
EUR/USD fell as low 1.2510, coming perilously close to triggering what is rumored to be a massive 1.25/1.35 DNT
Expect markets to be razor thin on Friday with banks conserving capital and speculators spooked by a spike volatility. Non-farm payrolls are small potatoes compared to what weve seen today and will be an asterisk, in the schedule.
