You'll notice plenty of initial responses were to question the poll. That's the wrong approach. Especially at this time of day when liquidity is at its thinnest of the 24 hour cycle - news can move markets quite sharply. I don't know how often I say this. Not enough?

But don't forget to thank Mr. Soros for how to trade the move on news like this!
