The Pound plunged today as a result of polls showing the probability of a hung Parliament in the UK which would make it difficult for the government to agree on measures to cut the ballooning budget deficits. The Euro slid as well. However positive news from the US on consumer spending and manufacturing gave the Dollar a boost against the Yen and helped buoy higher yielders. A strong GDP release from Canada helped the Canadian Dollar surge vs. its rivals.
DRodriguezFX: I like the risk/reward on a short-term EURUSD position here. Stop below morning low of 1.3242, initial target of range high of 1.3285. 5 minutes ago from TweetDeck
DRodriguezFX: In short: COT data still shows an overhang in USD-long positions vs EUR, and options traders betting on/hedging against EURUSD strength. 35 minutes ago from TweetDeck
