Bobbys Corner-Open Market-Oct.27.2010

Posted: 27 Oct 2010 05:34 AM PDT

bob-slade-forex-trading-3-150x200Good Morning:

The greenback rose on the heels of lower equity and US Treasury prices.  The size of the Feds QE2 program and the scope of this program is now being questioned-as market participants are trying to get a handle on what the Fed will actually do with the QE2 program, will they commit a few hundred million USD or upward of 1 trillion USD-that is the question.
Data from down-under showed that inflation rose higher than anticipated in Australia-and the Aussie slid as investors  speculate that the RBA will leave interest rates unchanged for the remainder of 2010.

Equity markets are lower-as are US Futures.
