USDJPY: Retains Its Broader Downside Bias
USDJPY: The pair continues to retain its broader downside bias as it looks to recapture its YTD low at 83.58 despite its price hesitation. A breach of there will open the door for more downside towards the 82.00 level, its psycho level with a cut through there aiming at the 81.00 level.

FX Thoughts for the Day
Cable has been moving in a small range of 1.5350-450 and may move within the same region till the US session today. Later today, or in the coming days, we expect the pair to move down towards the Support at 1.5300 (honour it or test it on a weekly basis),

Is this an Audacious Obama Hope Rally?
The strong rally in risk into today's close in the US today can't be about this week's economic data particularly as the ISM non-manufacturing index for August showed a steep deceleration. So why the rally? The combination of an equity rally and a lousy ISM resulted in the predictable
The QE Case for Gold & Silver
The case for metals remains not that of outright inflation but that of central banks prolonged liquidity drives.
