*SUP 3: 107.04 Low Oct 10
Rate spiked on release of Fed rate decision, breaking firmly above the 200-dma
and printing the best levels since early August. The gains were fleeting,
however, prompting markets retrace and settle either side of the Y109 mark. The
moves remain constructive, but a close above the 200-dma is now needed to cement
the next move higher. This would open 109.32, Aug 1 high and 109.93, May 30
high. 110.61 marks the projected top of a bull channel drawn off Aug 26 low and
is an objective further out. Support is 108.25, Oct 23 low.
