New York Session
Thu, Sep 18 2008, 22:34 GMT
by Forex.com Research Desk
The buck was bid in NY trading as a massive unwinding of flight to safety trades in the latter part of the session helped propel the greenback higher. News of the US government potentially devising an RTC-style plan (Resolution Trust Corporation was set up during the early 90s to liquidate failing S&L corporations) to bail out financial markets was the clear catalyst in the upswing in stocks.
The Dow Jones reversed a whooping 600+ points into a close just above 11k, while the S&P 500 rocketed more than 4% in the largest gain since October 2002. The shift to risk assets was evident in heavy US bond selling as well. The US 2-year note yield jumped about 40 basis points from the intraday lows to near 1.75%. These events helped prop up JPY crosses and USD/JPY jumped towards a close near the 105.30/35 zone after making a bottom just below the 104.00 mark. EUR/JPY rose more than 100 pips off its lows as well towards the 151.05/10 area.
EUR/USD dropped nearly -150 pips in NY trading as the realization that the current financial crises has just as much impact across the pond became evident. The pair was sitting near the 1.4345/50 area as the session came to a close. Cable was punished as well as the UK rushed to stem losses in financial stocks by banning short selling until January. GBP/USD sank about -60 pips into the 1.8175/80 zone.
