    The Aussie broke 92 cents Sun evening in early trading on the back of implied US rate cuts and additional Aussie rate hike(s) before year is out.

    Any Hotspot users? If so, can anyone explain why the kiwi jumps 9 pips every day around this time? On other systems, IB, Oanda, etc, the spread stays pretty much the same, but on Hotspotfx, it jumps like there is some news story or liquidity problem EVERY DAY! BTW, taken a long here on the...
