Today's USRant will be late (I need some sleep before I do it, is what I'm sayin'). I've spent the last 4 hours wrestling with my ProSuite, which did a hissy-fit after the changeover to daylight savings and seemed to splice yesterday's data in with todays. Not pretty.
Suffice it to say, the Euro bounced as expected (although not as hard as expected... the latest print is +26 pips from yesterday's close - see yesterday's USRant). I'm not claiming it as part of the RantRecord, although I reckon I would be justified in doing so... and 26 pips is about 14% based on the EC futures margin.
The Fed tightened 25bps, and retained the usual waffle. da Boyz were playing support all afternoon, and the early session was diabolically slow - a 2 point trading range for three hours.
