Ashraf, what displacement do you use for your 55DMA?

Ashraf,

Rumor has it that the bank that does a god's work in the markets is expecting this Tuesday of BOK and PBOC to hike further 0,25%. Have you heard anything to that effect?

With the euro meetings related to the Irish story tomorrow seems to be the big day

Upcoming week is the week of GM IPO. Markets ARE NOT ALLOWED to fall.

Arms,

One simple way to make that spread visible at least in relative terms is to try bloomberg.com.

E.g., go tohttp://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=USGG10YR:IND in the internet explorer. Once you get a graph, in the lower left corner, where it says "add a comparison", type in GDBR10:IND, then press Add.

With French and Italian GDPs being misses, the FX market post G20 seems yet to be back into selling the dollar mode. Looks like your call is working nicely so far, subway90

Ashraf,

Could you briefly describe (or provide a good link) a possible further scenario of the Irish debt crisis? I take it they can not officially apply for any financial assistance until the next year budget has been voted on, which is not going to happen until December, right? That would probably mean some sort of a range for the EUR/USD towards the end of the year?

With the DXY having staged the spectacular come back, the CL strength is all the more telling. As PMs have felt somewhat shaky, don't you guys think a rotation into a lagging commodity is about to occur, propelling it above 90?

Ashraf, everyone,

The PBOC just auctioned 1y bills at 2.3437%, over 5bp higher than last weeks rate at 2.2913%, which was still higher since the policy rate hike on 19 Oct.

Do you think this is an important signal of further tightening on the way? Perhaps, Chinese CPI over 4 per cent on Thursday?

Should we be watching any announcement from PBOC around noon GMT? Again, if that is the case, what are the chances of a repeat October 19?

Rik,

The guys at Mr. Topstep most certainly referred to the so-called POMO days, i.e. the days when the Fed undertakes its promised purchases of Treasuries. These are pre-announced, I think, on the monthly basis. Zerohedge.com keeps a very good track of that schedule
