What's going on?

Theme Comment
·         AUD and EUR going higher, USD, JPY and CHF under pressure. Gold is rallying to 1130. Asian session quite positive with Shanghai Composite up 2.7%.
·         Japanese GDP Annualized (3Q) out at 4.8% vs. 2.9%. JPY lower nonetheless. That means that the risk-trade is still on: Buy on dips. It looks like S&P500 will test the 1121 level this week.
·         Possible triggers: Retail Sales today. We believe that it could surprise positively.

Comment
EURUSD
Brokers were looking to sell EURUSD atm and upside overnight to 3-wk on Friday

so likely to see some offers capping spot moves higher.
USDJPY
1w upside being sold in Asia today with the expiry being a Tokyo holiday vols are already

low but spot only manages a 30 or so point move in Asia prompting pressure on gamma.
AUDUSD
Back end vega remains well bid and curve holds steady but mainly seeing sellers of short

date strikes via spreads into buying 1-2mth area.
