The Russian Central bank devalued the ruble for a third time this week. The ruble is at its weakest level relative to the U.S. dollar since January 2006.

The Korean Won was one of the best performing currencies this morning relative to the USD. It strengthened 3%, ending its two day slide against the dollar.

The South African rand has also performed well this morning as platinum, a commodity of which South Africa produces 80% of the worlds supply, recovered from its four day slide.

The Majors are trading within a relatively narrow band as the upcoming holiday's leads to low volatility and volume of trading.

Economic Releases Include: Personal Income, Personal Spending, Durable Goods Orders, Initial Jobless Claims.
