I´ve seen strange volumes elsewhere today also , it could have something to do with the US bond market having to sell some important notes in the coming weeks . As someone reported on another hub , it could hurt the US dollar near term and give a jump to commodities prices .
But here we are all waiting for a NR as you say and some folks are stacking up and taking advantage of the early and late trades when some are blind by delayed time quotes such as i am .
Next week should be interesting .
Have a good week end !
