Jay in my view the reason there is a disconnect with Euro and Gbp is stocks this time. You could see it yesterday when money was moving into Russel but nowhere else, today it is Dow. Euro moves with Dow not S&P. It is why I was short Sterling yesterday.

Good morning USA traders, hope your day is off to a great start! Here are the top 4 things you need to know for today’s market.

4 Things You Need to Know
European bourses are mostly lower, with sentiment hit following poor LVMH/ASML results; the FTSE 100 leads after the region’s cooler-than-expected inflation metrics.
Dollar is flat, GBP is the clear underperformer after headline/services inflation figures declined more than expected.
Bonds continue to build on the prior day’s gains, with upside also fuelled by the aforementioned UK CPI report, which has led to clear outperformance in Gilts.
A look at the day ahead in U.S. and global markets from Mike Dolan
World markets struggled to find a footing on Wednesday after Europe’s ASML (ASML.AS), opens new tab sideswiped the global chip sector late yesterday with a surprisingly weak orders outlook and investors prayed the flub was a one-off as third-quarter earnings updates stream in.
There was better news for bond markets – with yields declining on a mix of falling oil prices and significant European disinflation that underscores expectations of another European Central Bank interest rate cut on Thursday.
I am really nailing Sterling and Yen right now and it is important to understand I was a CTA on the phone filling orders through many houses with large contracts and the competition was intense, but you just behave solid. So I am seeing repetitive patters right now in these pairs and if you have any common sense I would pay attention. At times I will shout something like “long Yen” that means with your brokers you are selling Yen. It is very fast and there are major banks filling orders so you must be on you toes. That said, if you just relax you can see what they are doing.
Regarding Yen. I am waiting for them to run the figure and the stops and then come in hard on the buy side. Not nice Japanese data earlier at all.
Side note, reading the common sense post by Jay, is gold.
Dide note, listening to Mary Daly San Francisco Fed earlier I am fully convinced she is completely full of it and trying to make a duck look like an eagle.
I am having a very hard time justifying a risk on mood for this week. Everything is showing sell. In part due to election pending, in part due to more beepers about to explode, and a few other things such as bogus job numbers.
