The euro is like a flat screen TV. You can shop around and get a great Black Friday special (just $1.3225 at the low) but you know for sure that the price will be lower in six months.

There is no US or Canadian data today but trading should remain robust for the next few hours, especially around the US stock open. Some comments from the ECB’s Gonzalez-Paramo at 1600 GMT are the lone item on the calendar but I’m also looking forward to the CFTC Commitment of Traders report at around 2000 GMT to see if EUR shorts can crack 100k.

The NYSE closes early at 1800 GMT (1 p.m. ET) and US bond trading is closed all day.
