Good morning all,

Yesterday we got to know quite strong US economic data. Indeed, US GDP y/y and durable goods orders were better than expected. However, the market gave a muted response. All benchmark US indices traded higher (from the +0.15% to the +0.66% of DJ Industrial and Nasdaq respectively) while the Volatility Index (VIX) was pricing shy of 14 points the 1 year expected 1 std.

Some Major FX crosses price action was subued as well: EUR/USD got stuckall day in a 30-pips range, while AUD/USD was trapped in a 18-pips range. GBP/USD was an exception, moving almost 90 pips from lows to highs and gaining 0.49% on the day.
