General Comments or Valuable Insight
It's a risk on board. There is simply nothing else to say.
BOJ expanded quantitative easing last night to give the Risk On crowd a nice bump

Instruments that have been directional will stay that way.
I.E. OIL weak,Dollar strong against the Euro & Yen, Tech and Healthcare strong.?
