Russian crews landed in Cuba to prepare for stationing nuclear bombers there in defiance of a U.S. warning not to cross a ``red line,’’ Izvestia reported,
citing unidentified Russian Defense Ministry officials.

Crews of a supersonic Tu-160, a nuclear bomber known as White Swan,'' and Tu-95, which the North Atlantic Treaty Organization dubsBear,’’ were on the island nation doing reconnaissance work and inspecting infrastructure, the Moscow-
based newspaper said. Bombers can be deployed to bases in Cuba, Venezuela or Algeria at any time, Izvestia said.

General Norton Schwartz, nominated to be U.S. Air Force chief of staff, warned Russia two days ago not to station bombers in Cuba in response to America’s decision to build a missile- defense system in former Soviet satellite states in Europe.

Russia said on July 8 that it would react with military means to the U.S. system. Russian leaders have threatened to aim nuclear missiles at the planned bases in the Czech Republic and Poland, which they say would threaten Russia’s security.

When there is tension, there is demand for Swiss Franc.

[B]Three reasons to be bearish on USDCAD[/B]

  1. Previously USDCAD is up because oil price is falling. Now oil price has rebounded, this should strengthen CAD and push USDCAD lower.

  2. Resistance is formed at 1.0300.

  3. Daily stochastic is showing sell signal.

Shorted 20,000 USDCAD at 1.0236
Stop level at 1.0314
Target level at 1.0114

US is going to announce GDP data at 8.30pm China time, which is 20 min later. I believe this data is going to create great volatility in the currency market.

Current rate for USDCAD is 1.0231.

I place US$100 bet that USDCAD will close out of 1.0202 - 1.0232 by 5am China time. Odds is 0.540, means that if I win my profit will be US$54.
