New York Session, July 27th 2010
27 July 2010 @ 10:50 pm EDT
Today saw correlations breakdown across the board. US Equities were essentially flat (-0.1%), Precious Metals got hammered (Gold -1.8% and Silver -2.9%), the USD was stronger across the board since 8am EDT this morning; EUR/USD -40 pips, USD/CHF +35 pips, USD/JPY +55 pips, USD/CAD +90 pips, AUD/USD -45 pips and NZD/USD -60 pips (except vs. GBP/USD +50 pips), and there was notable weakness in two particular currencies; the Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc – we believe predominantly due to extreme risk averse positioning being unwound.
