Team,

Overnight/Economic Data
US Factory Orders MoM came out negative, but slightly better than expected.
But the REAL news this morning was as follows:
With news of oil production cuts hitting the tape, we saw crude oil rally and close at $86.83/barrel.
And long-term treasuries got absolutely smoked toward the low end of the recent range.
The DXY dollar index closed toward the high of the day.
We are approaching max pain for the BOJ, and they will likely intervene if the dollar gains more strength from these levels.
