Yesterday, during early New York session S&P500 index was trading close to 2080 level. Around 8 o clock Easter time it was trading around 2070 level. However, within next 50 minutes it fell as low as 2040 before bouncing back sharply. Currently trading around 2067.

Today, Pound was trading comfortably around 1.483 after better than expected manufacturing PMI data was released from UK. However, within half an hour pair is down close 100 points. Currently trading at 1.474.
