Thursday afternoon

Huge 3 figure move last night -- the trigger was the increased margin requirements relating to Italy, whose borrowing costs in the bond markets hit 7.5% overnight -- a figure that many commentators are saying is mathematically beyond the point of return.  I partook in a couple of limit order stop hunts on the way down netting 60pips (can't remember the levels exactly but they were all done within the first 2 hours of the London open).

Very dramatic price action overnight, probably the most we've seen in the last 2 weeks.  Spot has been consolidating in the 3530-50 area throughout today's Asian session.  With a low seen around 3520, focus is likely to turn to the reported 3500 barrier below at some stage today.
