FWIW AUDJPY closing above 81.10 is HUGE.

If AUD can hold recent gain, and JPY comes off slightly my old target of 82 may be hit by early next week.

The Institute for Supply Management's December report points to an improving job market, a top Treasury official said Friday. The Institute for Supply Management earlier Friday said its index of manufacturing activity surged to 66.2 in December from 62.8 in November, its highest level in 20 years. The new orders index climbed to 77.6 in December, its highest level since July 1950. The ISM report "suggests progress in manufacturing," Mark Warshawsky, acting assistant Treasury secretary for economic policy, said in a statement. "The new orders index posted the strongest showing in over fifty years. The report also suggests a better employment picture - further evidence the President's initiatives are creating economic growth and boosting job creation," Warshawsky said.

The Fed has noted that rates will remain low for a "considerable period" - not for election purposes, but rather for global-growth sustainability.

In this age of Central Bank cooperation - the Fed seems to remain on hold for as long as it can (and risking inflation) to assist Japan and Europe in finding their domestic econ engine....

The inflate or die mentality is not for the US alone - its a world-wide theme.

Perth AS 17:11 GMT January 2, 2004 Reply   
Spotforex NY thanks Also to consider the Election in the US , Bush probably is infear that a rate hike will occur prior to the election which was a problem for his father, Greenspan will not want a reoccurance of that , therefore will begin them sooner than later even if its max 1% - the G7 meeting at the beginning of Feb where they openly say they are concerned about dollars demise will nodoubt cause a kneejerk reaction

My observation is that this Dollar Europe market has not acted on positive US data since November' 4th payroll data...

Thus it seems that tech has overruled any fundamental aspects during this time.....markets do not move in one direction forever and a retracement will occur at some point.....

My models are moving into areas that would suggest profit taking on the trend at some time soon..

My observation is that 1.2470 is the pivot point on the euro for now....and would see how the price action unfolds if that level is violated.....

Pound at KEY level now For all intents and purposes it should short back down from here around the 1.7915/20 area. Be careful though as a break here and 1.7940/50 could be seen. I beleive however that this area will hold (1.7915/20).

St Louis - just be wary of these "online" platform types - they tend to use their spread as a straddle around the extreme ends of moves to flush out stops....as they WIN when you lose.....gray areas will always be dark for you on the retail end.....

but your stop would have been done anywhere on the street today....those flushed out at 1.2514 would have a stronger argument and concern about dealer "profrssionalism"....sometimes the REF is against the player!!!!!!!

They closed my positions at a stop at 1.2535 and i am trying to figure out why. At the trading desk they said oh it because of different data feeds. I would say 50 points difference ia a little too steep. Should i move to another company? Would appreciate any comments.

Food for Thought:
EUR/USD is
bouncing smartly after stalling at 1.2565. Dealers saw good selling from model
funds at the lows.
The usual "twin deficits" talk is being heard, and blamed for the bounce. One of
the deficits is likely to fall quickly amid the strong economic rebound: the
fiscal deficit. Much of the deficit has been cyclical in nature, not a function
of tax cuts or overspending, though clearly those factors are important. The
rebounding economy will produce revenues faster than even the US government can
spend them if anywhere close the present pace of economic growth is sustained.
The trade deficit may be another matter, but as long as it is self funding, it
likely won"t be a problem either. Someday the market will wake up to the that
fact. The only question is when. Once EUR/USD closes below the 10 day moving
average (today at 1.2490) is our guess.

Since 1990 looking for extreme price differences(B4 reversals) from the 250WKLY/Sma One may find (in pips) values as;

2586
2415
2835

The last deviation 2774 pips of the max 1.2648 to the present 250WkMa compared to the prev. ones as Ref. should be taken no less seriously than the current fundamentals.

I saw someone talking of buying Eur/CHF and GBP/CHF. I am short GBP/CHF as it seems to have a hard time maintaining any strength above 2.2170 level. A fall below 2.1990 will resume the downtrend to 2.17 level.

Eur/Yen should be a better buy for 138 over next week, assuming 134.20 was the low we saw b4.

One should note that Aud/Usd is now trading at what i consider a very important level - 0.7545 - Based on historical fib retracements and projections. From the 2003 base at 0.5875 upto 0.6845 = long term projected top being 0.7545.
The odds suggest Aud will start a nice retracement in early Jan with 0.7088 a possible target if my reading is correct. GT

HI, nyc beyonding destiny, thx for your message.
I found that all majors go up or down almost simutaneously depending on $'s strength or weakness. The high interest rate of Aussie has been already priced in. Is it right?
No one argues that a euro correction will happen sooner or later, but question is when it happens? If looking at chat, this correction is long overdue, but from fundamental point of view, this correction may still have to wait for a while. The timing is the key point. Any comment about how to achieve a balance between indicators and fundamental?

1.2647 looks to me like the high for a while. I think we will see eur$ trade at 1.2450 early next week. As long last weeks high holds ,I have forecast objectives on the downside of 1.2440 , possibly 1.2350 and finally 1.2190. Though I do think its likely that 1.2350 holts any slide. Afterwhich I'm looking for 1.2950/1.2980 or 1.3120 as pivotal areas.

guys: I am looking to short STG/SFR which although it's rallied from the low 2.20's, it always looks well offered above 2.2170 level. Any thoughts?

Yes still with them sz....during the holidays they widen the spreads due to lack of liquidity. In retrospect the wide spreads didnt deter much at all as i dont scalp.

Sounds like a nice target oilman :)

EUR/USD : The odds are in favour of taking a short position since the market is trading below the daily cycle barrier at 1.2582 // 1.2607.

EUR/USD : the following is still a good reference for today's market :-

Melbourne Qindex 00:06 GMT January 1, 2004
EUR/USD : As shown in my weekly cycle charts the market has tested the upper barrier and it is vibrating around 1.2558 with an expected magnitude of +/- 92 pips for the time being, i.e. 1.2466 - 1.2650.


Melbourne Qindex 06:18 GMT December 28, 2003
EUR/USD (Weekly Cycle) : The pattern of my weekly cycle frequency chart indicates that a strong pull-back is imminent. The big difference in the frequency number between 1.2374 - 1.2466 suggests that 1.2374 is a significant supporting quantised level. If the market is trading below 1.2374, it will tackle projected chart points at 1.2238 and1.2191. On the other hand if the market can close above 1.2466 in New York session, EUR/USD has a potential to tackle the projected resistant level at 1.2558 // 1.2650. The market rhythm is represented by 92 pips (k=0.009178) and the weekly cycle normal trading range is 1.2374 - 1.2650. (Suggestion : The odds are in favour of maintaining a short position if the market is trading below 1.2466).


Weekly Cycle Quantised Levels

... 1.2191, 1.2238 // 1.2374, 1.2466, 1.2558 // 1.2650 ...

A"Jobless recovery" may become outdated term in U.S. in 2004 with firms set to hire more aggressively; lack of jobs one reason many say Fed has held back on rate hike. Wall Street Journal survey of 54 economists finds jobless rate tipped to slowly fall to 5.5% by end-November; would be above 3.8% of April 2000 but well off 6.4% hit last summer, a boost to Bush re-election bid. "The economy will be producing a message that employment is growing at a pretty good pace, but not booming," says Prudential's Richard Rippe
