1. Note the lackluster 30min behavior in the NY session with the exception of the 1130am outlier, a function of the shift of release time which today is scheduled for 1pm.
2. Today's Globex session has diverged from recent behavior in exceeding range amplitude.
Alternatively, here we see the same data plotted for recent ECB days. Two phenomenon are of note relative to FOMC:
1. Over both London & NY sessions, ECB days have offered more normalized volatility potential compared to FOMC.
2. Within the NY session, ECB 30min averages have exceeded the 20day averages (Jan here).
While media price propaganda is ample on economic releases,
the market generated data reveals less volatile behavior than one would be led to believe
in the case of FOMC.
