  • Tony Juste, FX Advisor at FXstreet.com
    "People never learn from their mistakes, and once again a bubble has caught many investors betting their homes in a breathe of air. It may not be over, but at least it should give investors a needed warning to stay cool and get out / forget to invest in over-heated markets. As I said, it may not be over yet." - FXstreet.com
  • Ashraf Laidi, senior currency analyst at CMC Markets NY:
    "This (ISM data) should really quiet the market, because there were emerging fears that the global equities sell-off would be further amplified by a deepening recession in U.S. manufacturing." - Reuters
