If this weekend's Symposium wasnlt such a fizzer I would have said we've slipped down the Jackson Hole

But, no.

This seems all about Chinese equities again

  • Shanghai Composite lower (chart of the morning session here .... down 2.5% or so)
  • AUD, NZD both lower.
  • The Kiwi really took a pounding on the terrible business confidence numbers, and it only gotten weaker since then
  • I posted a chart much earlier today on the weak Globex session for the S&P500 eminis, and it hasn't recovered much at all (its stopped falling though)
  • The yen is stronger, as is CHF and GBP (all against the USD)

But, I'm giving the gold medal to EUR/USD, up around 75 or so points from session lows:

This is all looking familiar!

but ... what are the differences I haven't mentioned (in the comments please, ladies and gentleman!)?
