CURRENCIES


EURO – this $1.25 line is an important one to keep your eyes on; we’re either going to see another drop to $1.23 or a rip to $1.27 – either should happen in a hurry. We have no idea what the next central planning catalyst is, but clearly bailouts are the new bull case.

EUROPEAN MARKETS


GERMANY – the DAX and MIB Indexes look like better shorts than Spain’s IBEX right here and now. We aren’t short either, but may be by day’s end as both the DAX and MIB are testing my intermediate-term TREND lines of 6581 and 14,498, respectively. We’d like to see them both fail there before we move.
