It's quiet out there right now as attention switches between Paris and the FOMC Minutes

The latest on the shootings in the Paris suburb of St Denis is that there is on-going sporadic gunfire despite reports that it had finished a short while ago, with talk of 1-2 suspects dead

Market wise traders are understandably cautious not only with those events but the revelations that the FOMC Minutes, due at 19.00 GMT, may produce

It's going to be a long wait and right now we're at a standstill with EURUSD stuck just below 1.0650, GBPUSD flicking around 1.5200, USDJPY still on its lows at 123.25 after the Nikkei closed softer with AUDUSD and USDCAD stuck around 0.7100 and 1.3310 respectively

We must always expect the unexpected but it's difficult to see where/why we are going to get much by way of volatility in broader ranges until we know more from the Fed later

Let's hope I'm wrong otherwise it's going to be a long session.
