OIL breaks below 68 and looks to close below the 50-day MA, while the DOLLAR INDEX has yet to break above its 50-day MA (even thought it did break above its 5-month trend line). http://www.ashraflaidi.com/forex-blogs/1157/ One sign of deteriorating appetite is RISING BONDS as 10 yr yield dips to 3.30%, eyeing a double bottom at 3.28 from mid July.

HOT CHART ON NZDGBP IS NOW IN THE MONEY, while the short AUDCAD is expected to stabilize at 0.9250s.
