Dollar: Risk Accpetance

Cross Currencies: Risk Accpetance
Equities: “It all adds up to very dovish comments from policy makers indicating that there’s really no threat of government programs abating any time soon. It’s a very favorable environment to take risk and that could push stocks even higher.”
S&P: Risk Accpetance
DJIA: Risk Accpetance
Eurostoxx50: Risk Accpetance

Interest Rates: Treasuries were little changed after the U.S. sold a record-tying $44 billion of two-year debt at the lowest yield ever

Tactical Review
My line of thought is that markets are in a defined range. No real change is sentiment has taken place today. This opens up some nice trade ideas for the week. I will be looking to sell risk assets at the top of the range upon price action confirmation. I still have not received such confirmation. My initial targets are to fill the gap in equity markets such as eurostoxx50 and S&P futures pit session.
