Good morning all. The stock markets appeared to crack yesterday, taking many of the carry trade currency pairs with it. We are, however, entering a traditionally strong period for the stock markets in the run up to Christmas. This morning the futures markets are giving the benefit of doubt to yesterday's fall (S&P500 futures up about 12 points from yesterday's close). We shall see. Generally, as I said yesterday, investment made in the S&P500 (or any major index) on 22-23 November is in good profit by early January.
Today's economics: 11am UK CBI industrial trends orders, midday CAD CPI (inflation), 1:30pm US Housing starts and then the biggie at 7pm, the FOMC Meeting minutes indicating US interest rate policy.
