What's going on?


Theme Comment
·         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 .
