Yesterday's minor consolidation was limited above 1.4570 support area and the uptrend has been renewed, breaking above 1.4675 resistance zone. Current bias is positive for 1.4842, en route to 1.4911, with nearest support around 1.4670, followed by the crucial 1.4592.

Resistance		Support
intraday	intraweek	intraday	intraweek

USD/JPY

Current level - 89.26

A short-term bottom has been set at 87.12 and a large consolidation is unfolding since. Trading is situated below the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 94.86 and 94.84.

A minor consolidation unfolds above the dynamic support at 88.82 and we think, that it precedes a break below 88.42, that will target 87.12 lows. Intraday bias is neutral and important on the upside remains 90.34.

Resistance		Support
intraday	intraweek	intraday	intraweek
90.40	93.40	99.03	101.42

GBP/USD

Current level- 1.5962

The pair is in a downtrend after peaking at 1.7042. Trading is situated between the 50- and 200-day SMA, currently projected at 1.6454 and 1.5258.

Yesterday's low at 1.5901 was a turning point in the second part of the rise from 1.5803, so a clear break below 1.5901 is to be expected and it will initiate a massive sell-off for 1.5766, en route to 1.5352. The intraday bias is already negative with the recent break below 1.5961, so expect current rebound above 1.5937 to be corrective in nature and to give an entry point for the next leg downwards, to 1.5834.

Resistance		Support
intraday	intraweek	intraday	intraweek
1.6024	1.6130	1.6460	1.7042
1.5801	1.5766	1.5352	1.50+

Closings of Legacy Securities Public -Private Investment Funds

Treasury Department Announces Additional Initial
Closings of Legacy Securities Public -Private Investment Funds

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced three additional initial closings of Public-Private Investment Funds (PPIFs) established under the Legacy Securities Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP). AllianceBernstein, LP and its sub-advisors Greenfield Partners, LLC and Rialto Capital Management, LLC; BlackRock, Inc.; and Wellington Management Company, LLP have completed initial closings, each with at least $500 million of committed equity capital from private investors bringing the total number of initial closings completed to five and total committed equity and debt capital to $12.27 billion.

Small, minority-, and women-owned businesses that are partnering with the fund managers that have completed initial closings include:

• Advent Capital Management, LLC
• Altura Capital Group, LLC
• Utendahl Capital Management

"The PPIP continues to grow," said Herb Allison, Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability, "Private capital is being drawn into the market for legacy securities and taxpayers are being given a chance to share in the profits."

Treasury expects that the remaining initial closings for the other PPIFs will occur throughout October. Following an initial closing, each PPIF will have the opportunity for two more closings over the following six months to receive matching Treasury equity and debt financing, with a total Treasury equity and debt investment in all PPIFs equal to $30 billion ($40 billion including private investor capital). Treasury will be providing updates as additional PPIF closings occur.
