Habib,

I wish you guys could just get over the idea that there is some huge conspiracy among the banks every time the majors move in a certain way. I promise you this simply isn't the case.

On the day you're talking about I suspect that someone merely had a large sized fix trade to do (most likely for the Frankfurt fixing rather then the ECB one).

If anything the sharp reactions to the data just confirm the fact that there was no conspiracy. Everyone was short and they were all caught. That's what moves the market on a day like that.
