USD Outlook

Hi all,
Today's event would be focused on ECB (1345 GMT) and BOE (1300 GMT) respectively, where expectations are talking about a cut of 50 bps for ECB and a possible 100bps cut on BOE. I personally have a view that BOE may not go for this full point cut, probably 75bps may be more realistic. 
Look at the economic calendar above for further announcements today. My opinion on the market in the next few weeks, would be greatly influenced by the payroll figures in tomorrow's NFP. 
The photo above is another teaser on the new US President.  You think the USD will really be printed in this manner in the future? 
Enjoy.

Effects on Banning Short Selling

If the SEC temporarily bans short selling, it will actually INCREASE the cost to banks of raising new capital, and the market's floor might be removed. - "The Securities and Exchange Commission took its most aggressive assault against bearish stock bets by stating its intention to issue a temporary ban on short-selling," writes the WSJ. "SEC Chairman Christopher Cox briefed Congress late Thursday of the agency's intention to take the extraordinary step of interfering with the market's regular functioning." - This move will affect hedge funds that use short positions to hedge investment risk during a rights issue or placing. If they're not able to provide liquidity during a rights issue, the costs to banks of raising new capital will increase.  - Shorts provide a floor, buying (i.e. covering shorts) when there is no one left to buy.
