Ample liquidity in credit markets will lead stocks higher today TradingFloor Advisors, Filed in: 3 numbers to watch 28 September 2009 at 8:49 GMT Non-Independent Investment Research Daily Trading Stance Both Durable Goods Orders and New Home Sales were lower than expected on Friday - despite first-time home buyers still being eligible for the $8K tax credit. Beginning signs of risk-aversion in the FX market: USD and JPY strengthening at the expense of EUR and AUD. GBP under severe pressure. Shanghai Composite down again. Still, the corporate credit market seems to reflect ample liquidity and risk-willingness. Today will be quiet, data-wise, but further political statements in the aftermath of the G20 might impact the markets. Some talk about record amounts of cash on the 'sideline'. We maintain a 'buy-on-dips' until we see further deterioration in corporate credit markets.

FX Options FX-Options Comment EURUSD One major US investment house continues to build its frontend and mid-curve EUR put position on Friday. Given the move in spot over the weekend, expect vols to remain firm. USDJPY Vols gapped as everyone scrambled to buy as spot came tumbling to a low of 88.20 early in Asia. Risk reversals are bid even though spot has almost recouped losses. AUDUSD Front end jumped following the spike in cross yen vols. Won't imagine frontend to get offered heavily even if spot retraces back to where it started from. Equities Equities Daily stance Comment DAX 0/+ Buy around 5547 targeting 5595. S/L below 5528.
