What's going on?
·         Stocks in a strong reversal higher yesterday. The risk-trade is on again. USD and JPY lower and commodities, AUD and EUR higher. 
·         US 10-year Treasuries threaten to break support at 117-20. That could be an intraday trigger for new highs in stocks.
·         The S&P500 trendline resistance today is at 1114.
·         Earnings show improvement, but there is an ongoing discussion about the quality of earnings in especially financial shares.

 | Comment 
 | 
 | EURUSD 
 | German name seen buying more middle of the curve 10 delta EUR puts for customers. 
 | 
 | 
 | Buying interests likely to continue so expect vols to be well supported. 
 | 
 | USDJPY 
 | Vols have been soft in Asia and as spot moves nearer to 9200, risk reversals have also 
 | 
 | 
 | eased off. Expect spot to range between 9100-9250 in the near term. 
 | 
 | AUDUSD 
 | Curve got given as spot fails to break higher. Even if it does grind to 9300 again, front end 
 | 
 | 
 | should continue to be offered except for 2 week date which gets the RBA and nonfarm .
