Maybe you can show all of us where the fx market moved on those rumors? I dont see it. Are you looking at the Turkish Lira/Thai Baht currency cross or what?????

Quote from Ivanovich:

The forex market moved on rumors of a negative 1 million print on NFP. My first instinct was to laugh, but at this stage of the game, anything is possible.

Wait a sec, seeing as how I am a resident of Ye Olde Great Britain meself, you can't slip these sorts of things past me . It's beans on toast for us proles, n'est ce pas?

Beans upon toast? Why not extend to the holy grail of healthy English cuisine which is ofcourse, beans and sausages on toast with finely grated matured chedder cheese sprinkled over the top.

Quote from stock_trad3r:

Not a bad number . Could have been much worse. The economy seems to have found a bottom.

It's quite obvious, so question is really what you're looking at (see the attached chart of US trade-weighted spot).

trading cash fx and fx options very actively myself I dont consider .60 points in DYX a reaction to such rumors. When I talked to some broker at UBS later he mentioned it was simply a larger player prepositioning himself nothing more. As we all knew by Friday close this was not the smartest move and I believe that the USD may exhibit some more strength into next week. Where else to move your money?
