Wednesday, as expected, there is just consolidation on VERY low volume happening right now, following Yesterday’s moves. we still have a few hours to the European Session to make some analysis. lucky the dollar showed some weakness and there where some medium risk opportunities to take on the Japanese Yen.

Labour-Tuesday, nothing to expect today, so I’ll start an early session. and split it in two.

there where some quite substantial moves over the whole spectrum, as a result of the USDollar movements, so we wither continue that move just as fast, but more likely there will be a consolidation phase now.
