· U.S. Dollar Trading (USD) gave up gains against all except the yen as worlds stocks surged on bargain hunting. CB Consumer Confidence Plummeted but that was ignored as the rally that began in Asia spread to the Europe and then the US. Expectations of a Fed Rate Cut were combined with news that the Bank of Japan might also cut rates. In the U.S. share markets, the NASDAQ was up 143 points (9.53%) and the Dow Jones was up 899 points (10.88%). Crude Oil closed down -$0.49 ending the New York session at $62.73 per barrel. Looking ahead, September Durable Good Orders are expected at -1.5% vs. -3.3% previously. Also released the FOMC statement widely expected to contain a 0.5% rate cut.
· The Euro (EUR) capitalized on surging stocks by breaking the key 1.25 level and consolidating. The late Dow surge induced the run up to resistance at 1.2800 in early Asia. GFK German Consumer Sentiment unexpectedly jumped to 1.9 vs. 1.5 expected and the German Stock market surged 11%.

· The Japanese Yen (JPY) sold from the start to the finish of that day losing a record against multiple currencies on a combination of negative Yen factors. Threats and possible intervention in the Yen by the Bank of Japan was supported by a large rally in the Nikkei.

Looking ahead, September Industrial Output is expected at 0.5% vs. -3.5% previously.
· The Sterling (GBP) was a major from the equity rebound, climbing rapidly off lows. A possible bottom maybe in place given the rejection at 1.5280 twice and subsequent sharp rally.
