FOMC Implements ‘Operation Twist’ in Attempt to Lower Interest Rates; Dollar Broadly Higher on Risk Aversion
The Federal Reserve announced a plan to implement Operation Twist yesterday (a plan to drive down interest rates on 10 year treasury bonds) but markets were relatively unimpressed as investors were apparently looking for a more far reaching strategy even with the large size of asset purchases (400$ worth of long term treasuries) the plan is set to make.

FOMC Rate Decision to Guide Sentiment Today; Canadian CPI Seen Rising to 2.9%
Market attention will shift from the Eurozone to the FOMC policy meeting today as the Fed rate decision and accompanying statement will be released. There is a certain amount of dissent amongst the FOMC board members, so the possibility exists for some surprises in the Fed’s final statement. Most analysts side with the argument that the Fed will pursue no new accommodation measures and instead choose to remain “data-dependent” given the Eurozone debt crisis and the possibility that any new…

S & P Downgrades Italy’s Credit Rating; RBA Policy Minutes Confirm a Neutral Bias
Overnight, Standard and Poor’s downgraded the long term credit rating in Italy from A+ to A (one level lower), with a negative outlook, on the argument that growth rates are expected to weaken and contagion effects have not been fully contained. Political impasses are also seen as an obstacle as legislation to reduce debt will not be met with a clear majority vote.
This downgrade will increase concerns in the Eurozone as a whole and force regional finance ministers to…

Markets Focus on Greece’s Troika Impasse; Euro Gaps Lower to Start the Week
The Euro followed equity markets and gapped lower to start the week on Monday as the Asian session focused on the escalating problems with the Greek bailout agreement.
