** EVENTS PREVIEW **
********************

A slightly busier day in terms of economic data, though largely of the second division variety, with the overnight BRC Retail Sales and Japan Economy Watchers Survey to digest ahead of Swedish CPI, and the German ZEW and US NFIB Small Business Optimism surveys. Policywise, BoE MPC 'new boy' Saunders testifies to Treasury Select Committee, the ever dovish Chicago Fed president Evans offered no surprises in his overnight comments, with the non-Voting Mr Kashkari speaking later, while EU Finance Ministers hold a regular EcoFin meeting. On the government auction side, the Netherlands, Austria and Germany feature, but the Q3 earnings season kick off via way of Alcoa will likely be more of a point of focus, as will the World Energy Congress in Istanbul, even much of the rhetoric looks to be of the 'talking the talk' not 'walking the walk' variety, but clearly taking a leaf out of the Draghi book of 'this is how you do rhetoric'. Putin' suggestion that Russia is willing to joining the OPEC Oil production cap will underpin prices, and it will be interesting to see how the IEA monthly Oil Market Report pitches the outlook for the market post OPEC agreement, having painted a rather bearish picture in its previous report. While the ZEW survey is a very poor proxy for German economic activity, with a strong record in predicting booms and busts which never materialized; it is nevertheless market sensitive. Having troughed at -6.8 in July, a bounce to +4.0 from Aug/Sep readings of -0.5 is seen on the Expectations index; the far more reliable ZEW Current Conditions is seen little changed at 55.5 (Sept 55.1), with incoming official data suggesting some upside risks, though the concerns surrounding Deutsche Bank may acta as a counterweight. As for the US NFIB Small Business Optimism, the consensus looks for a 95.0 reading, essentially little changed from a run of 94.4, 94.6 and 94.5 in preceding months. The Saudi dollar bond offering mooted to be minimum $10 Bln, and perhaps as much as $15 Bln will also be closely watched in both in terms of pricing (likely to be tight) and book size. We would also remind readers that UK breakeven inflation reports continue to soar (see charts), which will increasingly raise questions about the BoE's current policy settings and expectations.

Thanks, If it makes it that's ok.... I've been tightening me stops..

Closed 2/3 @7120 and stopped out on final 1/3. not a bad run.

Oil coming down a bit... and cable - a bit..could drift down 7100, if it don't bounce off my MA (50) 1M chart.
