- NYSE to keep NYSE ARCA electronic exchange open.
- NYSE Euronext to close trading floor Monday due to hurricane Sandy.
- Japan September retail sales (y/y survey 1.0%, prior 1.8% revised to 1.7%) @ 23:50 GMT.
- U.K. Lloyd’s October business barometer (prior 10) @ 00:01 GMT.
- U.K. Hometrack housing survey (prior -0.1% m/m, -0.5% y/y) @ 00:01GMT.
Expecting quiet market tonight as focus goes to Hurricane Sandy. We still have uncertainties with Greece, BOJ policy, Spain, and the tight U.S. elections coming up to fill in just in case Sandy disappoints (hopefully) to concentrate on.
EUR/USD now trading around 1.2941/45, GBP/USD lower at 1.6095/00 the rest remaining in line with earlier indications.
Good luck today.
