Monday 01 November

I haven't posted any charts this week yet because everything seems to be on hold and range trading until Wednesdays FOMC announcement.  Tomorrow's US elections look like a given with Republicans getting more seats.
EUR is weak across the board this morning as the stories of problems in the peripheries won't go away.
US markets might be rattled  by news of bond insurer Ambac missing a coupon payment and could be bankrupt within a month. (ABK is down nearly 55% this morning)

I am sticking with my theory that the dollar is making a base for a bounce here, that bonds are due to correct lower and that equities still look bullish and the dollar and stocks could rally together for a couple of weeks.  All of this is irrelevant if we get a giant bazooka of QE on Wednesday but so much seems to be expected / priced in for QE that it is hard to see that the news will be anything other than a sell event.

I will post charts Wednesday morning pre FOMC and we will see where we are then.
Note to self - today is a Pomo day (although there have been some signs of pomo fatigue lately, this is also Momo Monday)
