    Biggest % gainers: AUD/CHF up .031%, NZD/USD, USD/CHF not much happening on the "up" side today.

    Biggest % losers: EUR/AUD down 0.40%, GBP/USD, EUR/CAD on mild euro weakness. tame morning so far.

    The market is "dull" before tomorrow's EUR and GBP interest rate announcements. Today is probably a good day for the range trader and the scalper but not momentum/breakout trader.

    Oil $86.38
    Gold $1,142 helping to support the Aussie this morning.

    Japan holds rates steady at 0.10%.

    Biggest % gainers: AUD/NZD up 1.28%, AUD/CHF up 1.09% on the Aussie rate hike of 1/4 point to 4.25% overnight. (I find it interesting that AUD/CAD still slumps...shows you the strength of CAD lately).

    Biggest % losers: GBP/JPY down 1.16%, EUR/JPY down 1.14% on yen strength.

    Gold $1,133
    Oil $86.85
