OPTION VOLATILITIES<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The new trading week is beginning with the Greenback trading much lower following a very disappointing employment number released on Friday.  The market was expecting an increase of 170,000 new jobs created for the month of May, and the number only showed an increase of 75,000.  The market now fears that with the latest round of data releases, the last thing the Fed will do is raise interest rates.  Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is scheduled to speak today and Friday and close attention will be paid to see if he hints at any sort of bias. 

Option vols are weaker this week.  Skews remain unchanged with the market still favoring upside EUR calls and JPY calls.
