MARKETS WHIPSAW AFTER COORDINATED CENTRAL BANK ACTION RUMORS
• http://www.businessinsider.com, Simone Foxman

Late last month, Business Insider first reported that rumors of coordinated central bank action had been circulating among traders and their sources, leading one analyst to assure us that such a liquidity-providing move was "a lock."
While these latest reports are nothing more than rumors, it would appear that pressure for coordinated central bank action—likely through an expansion of the dollar swap agreements put in place last November—is mounting.
