The retail sales figures were generally in-line overall and the jobless claims data were also mostly as expected. The averages have improved slightly from their opening prices but are still in negative territory, with the Dow down 12 points, the Nasdaq down 5 points and the S&P down 1 point. |

| 09:20 EDT | | | FX Action: USD-JPY buying accelerated
FX Action: USD-JPY buying accelerated ahead of the N.Y. options cut, where a large digital option expiry is rolling off at 95.00. Digital options usually payout if spot is trading right on the strike level, above or below the level at expiry, depending on how the position is structured. Given the price action over recent weeks it is more likely that the writer of the option gambled that USD-JPY would remain above 95.00 and will have an interest to keep spot elevated to avoid a costly payout. Other maturities today include plain vanilla strikes at 94.50 and 94.85. So far, USD-JPY has reached 94.75 versus N.Y. session lows of 94.00. |
