A sizeable miss from the NY Fed

Small positives are the prices data and new orders not being as bad as they were. You're right though, I'm scratching around for positives

There's been no real reaction in FX, although USDJPY is feeling out 123.00 after breaking through earlier

I guess that possibly answer the question I posed in my min preview ;-)
