Equity Markets in Asia finished lower yesterday on concerns that poorer than expected earnings in the U.S would spill over into next day trading. That did not occur as the both European and U.S session enjoyed substantial gains. The DJIA finished at 10,725.43, wiping out the prior day's losses as it picked up 115.78 points.

The Dollar rallied hard yesterday with the EUR coming up as the big loser, giving up .67%. The EUR tumbled from the 1.44 range to hit 1.4250. In overnight trading, the EUR fell further as it broke through recent support and touched 1.4167 before retracing slightly. The DXY rose sharply to 77.5, but Gold managed to hold on to its gains, advancing $4.60 to close at 1,138.20. Oil also rose, picking up $1.02 to close the U.S session at $79.02
In New Zealand today, Retail Sales figures will print. In the U.S, the Producer Price Index numbers as well as Housing Starts and Building Permits will publish. CPI data and Manufacturing Sales figures will print today in Canada. Finally, in the U.K, BOE Policy Meeting Minutes will be released as well as Jobless Claims. A relatively busy day for economic data releases, so expect continued choppiness in the Forex space.
