Economic Releases Overnight

UK inflation ticking up inconveniently when the economy seems to be doing a bit better. And we can't blame energy costs this time.

Markets waiting for a big move and that's sure to come soon. All the headlines are a distraction. And decisions are in the hands of those most incapable of making them. The EU.

Equities

USD YEN looking to break short term support and a break of 148.50 should see price quickly down to 140.00 where carry trades may blow up again. YEN yields rising add further support to this possible outcome.
