I would look to price action to take ccy's to pivot points and then consolidation will probably occurr until AFTER elections . These points generally be where at least for the time being the NEW SELLERS won't want to sell and the NEW BUYERS won't want to BUY. BTW we aren't there yet BUT I beleive prices will MOVE more towrd the USD bulls side.

Good morning, without getting too deep my feeling on the aud its in a range 68 - 75 ish allowing for an overshoot each end - Telstra are putting prices up again at xmas so a little more manipulation to do before a float. China ,Commodities ,deficit and rates all a factor which when the market decides the USD is in favor will be used to turn against the Aud .

Dallas GEP 22:58 GMT November 1, 2004 Reply   
OK.....lately price action has NOT been following most technical indicators specifically MACD's and STOCHS. IMO it is better to play off moving averages and fib points. OVERSOLD and OVERBOUGHT lately has meant VERY little so take that for what's it worth. Going to LONGER timeframes seems to work BUT that won't get you the quick movements when seen. 5 minute charts seem to work OK but you have to be IN and OUT VERY quickly to get your pips. In other words the market right now is a real SOB. I would suggest you get 20 pips maybe and GET out to reload if you want.

BTW I have another GBP short @ 1.8345 waiting but I have some doubts I will see it in Asia. I would not be in GBP shorts when LONDON opens if it can be avoided.

Syd's. There seems something a little odd in discreprency between opinion pieces of banks or, at least how it is reported, and hard data and revenue projections just now. Think Rupert??
I listened to John McFarlanes speech which was reported much more bearishly than it came over. Still ANZ's propoganda has been a little odd since their recent kiwi acquisitions.

Re Telstra. Some murmuring in the corridors of both houses on both sides. Split may be re-visited as recent rate and scope of technology change makes hardware investment less attractive whilst enhancing value of marketing expertise and market penetration. The old saw of socialised risk and privatise profits will apply especially since the community views non govt monopoly or legislated prerogatives for private corporations less favrably these days.

Syd 22:34 GMT November 1, 2004 Reply   
Treasurer Peter Costello said Telstra probably couldn't be sold in one tranche and might not be possible for up to five years. Investment advisers expect the final Telstra stake to be sold sometime in 2006

There is also talk this morning that Telstra will be sold in one block ie 30 Bio AUD, bulls will use that as an excuse to hold on. I think its going to trade lower but price action doesnt give me confidence to build a short at the right level.

Few discrete positives for AUD , pace of global growth is slowing; China's rate hike may be first of a few; risk to commodity prices is to downside; local current account yet to show cyclical improvement in spite of record highs in terms of trade; interest rate support for AUD is limited. The clear summation for the AUD is that the only real reason to be bullish over the medium term is if investors are equally (if not more) bearish on the USD Short-term positioning suggests downside bias to mid 0.7300 area, but if U.S. election is "a debacle," AUD can stay higher for longer.

Unprecedented
The last US presidential election finshed with the same number of votes for both candidates.

The political parties after proposing a new round of elections lost most of their fund raisers.

Until the problem will not be solved the last president will continue to act as the Official US president.

Anyway, you fail to mention that ObL was favoured by the States because of the threat he posed to the old Soviet Union in Afghanistan. If you can point to information from back then that defines him as a clear threat to the US, I'd be happy to consider it. Cheers.

A Weak USD Preference - Morgan Stanley
Stephen L Jen, Economist at Morgan Stanley
We remain constructive on the USD medium-term. Our forecasts are unchanged. However, the risk is rising of a shift in policy preference towards a weaker USD under the next US administration. This poses the single biggest risk to our USD call. What I am concerned about. The USD broke out of its 8-month range two weeks ago.

I could easily be a sissy and say fine you don't need valuable information then. But I know there are those here who like to have as much real perspective as possible. So here are a couple more facts ...

As of August 2004, US industrial production stood at 5.6% compared to 2.9% for Germany and (-)1.2% for France.

To provide a clear understanding of recent European Union Gross Domestic Product compared to US Gross Domestic Product, French GDP for the first half of 2004 was approximately 0.8% while the US recorded a record 8.2% GDP in just a single month in the same year.

SanFrancisco TG 19:30 GMT: "some people who don't want to hear that Bush has done a good job want to make sure the facts are branded as political"

The statement "Bush has done a good job" is not a fact, it's a judgement on the performance of a political candidate. So would be "Bush has done a bad job". Both statements therefore belong in the Political forum, not here.

"Quite a mix of level headed people and screwups here."

Indeed.

SanFrancisco TG 18:44 GMT November 1, 2004 Reply   
While its slow these are both interesting and pertinent economic facts. Nearly 70 percent of the job loss we have experienced occurred during the 2001 recession and immediately after the attacks of September 11th. In the three months after September 11th, the economy lost nearly one million jobs. To act as if there is a job crisis due to current management, or the rebound from such devastation has been slow when the current unemployment rate is below the average rate of the 1970�s, 1980�s, and 1990�s is absurd. The destruction of physical assets from the terror attack was estimated in the national accounts to amount to $14 billion for private businesses, $1.5 billion for State and local government enterprises and $0.7 billion for Federal government. Rescue, cleanup and related costs have been estimated to amount to at least $11 billion. Lower Manhattan lost approximately 30 per cent of its office space and scores of businesses disappeared. The implied projected cumulative loss in national income through the end of 2003 amounted to roughly half a trillion dollars.

CB - I know people who are far away from being the overreactive or emotional type who are also quite successful living in SF who intend to sell their propery and disburse from SF should Kerry win. The overwhelming arguments are the area is already taxed too much and will become an even easier target for a wmd as Kerry weakens the US military, anti-terror efforts, and intelligence sources such as the CIA, which was quite stripped down before Bush got there. I've been having some very surprising conversations lately.

No matter who is in office we are going to have market moving events in coming months, the only difference will be if they are US positive or US negative depending on agendas and result.

Dallas GEP 18:10 GMT November 1, 2004 Reply   
Well I think it depends a great deal on who you surround yourself with from an advisor standpoint. BUSH I feel is much more a hawk than a dove and some of his advisors are even MORE hawkish. So in that regard, there is NO DOUBT in my mind that BUSH would react more quickly to any perceived threat than KERRY would. TO the extent that discourages attacks I guess would be considered a very good thing. TO th extent that military action MIGHT be taken BEFORE a non-military solution is given a chance, in THAT regard of course it is NOT desirable. Personally BUSH IMO is too hawkish and KERRY is too DOVEISH. The most CURRENT poll show that the AMERICAN voters are much more comfortable in BUSH handling perceived threats to US interests compared to KERRY. If the UNDECIDED voter feels this to be a deciding factor, BUSH will get the undecideds and will WIN tom.

Lastly OBL still unrepented ... to H*** with him ... the more muslim support him the better the chance that the nation will change Govt.......good we need to start disturbing their cosy exiestence.

GEP/ I agree, but you have to excuse OBL because somehow he didn't read the history books. (Possibly because he was in England on some schooling, and, as these Brits are a bit snobbish toward you US, (in those years then at least), the didn't tell him about Yamamoto, Iwo Jima, only Viet nam, thus he never grasped the p�rticularyty of the US nation.

Possibly, he might have made the decision for Bush victory.
Normal, it's not the first time that a tyrant gets exactely the opposite of what he entrepreneered.


Anyway, it was also a formidable show of his total military wickness with was, and still is $ supportive.

But it should be fading off. I don't see a stronger $ in the coming 24 H, but TELL me your opinion because I am just out of the sea and with other interesrts to pursue soon; while my euro thing is still twenty feet underwater after almost 2-4H candels burned...

I'm curious to know how many here think Iran's parlaimentary vote yesterday to complete their nuclear program while they cheered "death to America" is going to result in a market moving event in the near future due to conflict? I think it all depends on who is at the helm in the US. If Bush is in office, Iran will not succeed. If Kerry is in office, a nuclear detonation on US soil is inevitable due to weakened resolve is what I am hearing overwhelmingly.

UBL speech apparently according to other translators warns that any state that votes for BUSH is to be consudred enemy and ones that vote for Kerry are to be considred one that want a change for better relationship. The threat also says the BUSH states will be held responsible for their actions.

From a US viewpoint, this threat is very foolish for the desired effect it might have is quite the opposite of what UBL wants.

Just for speculation's sake, I see retracement on E/$ 30 day chart possibly going back to Oct 22 @ 1.2600; 1.2700 (Oct 29) for the least. I think some USD tenseness is unwinding already, frankly, as some players getting tired of caution & "want" to excercise optimism (right or wrong).

Interesting point. However, if inflation raises up an extra 1.5% (the ironic difference between interest rates moving from .5% to 2%) wouldn't that eat up the very same savings earned that you talk about?

It would be hard to determine what is actually going to happen at this point. Almost all the CB's have come out and said the rise in oil prices is going to have little to no effect overall. I try and never disagree with the Fed bosses. They seem to know a ton more than me. So maybe the CB bosses won't move at all. The only people who seem to be concerned are the actual consumers. PPI/CPI hasn't shown any sizable increase. But, confidence numbers are coming down all over with the concern of higher oil.

Boulder DAT - From the other side-- consider that the Japanese need the higher interest rates (it has been the problem for many years) to draw out the hoarded funds - in a nation of savers if you move from 1/2 % to 2% you have increased disposable income significantly which increases domestic demand (akin to the elderly retired in the US in early '80s when CD rates were 13%) - if domestic demand expands money can flow out rather than in (money goes home in bad times)

Great question... It depends.

Ultimately, I do not see any reason for any of the foreign appetites waning. There would have to be a major shift in policies for foreign central banks to stop buying U.S. debt. I don't see any reason for these banks to change these policies for now. There is a lot more to this answer than probably what I have room (and time) for on GV.

My concern is the $/�. I took some profits accross the board last week. With the price of oil in the past few weeks reaching contract highs, this has to have some kind of effect on the economy of Japan. Here is the loaded shotgun:

a. Higher oil prices mean higher inflation. This should force the hand of the MOF in interest rates to some extent. The end of stagflation should mean a lower $/�.

b. Higher oil prices are going to affect the the purchasing decision of the country. Ultimately, with a country as dependent on foreign oil as Japan, this slow-down should be felt in the overall economy. Higher $/�.

This is where it gets interesting. If the end of stagfaltion is actually (and finally) here, then with a lower $/� this could offset the higher price of oil somewhat. It will be interesting to see where oil goes from here, and what the overall market interpretation is.

Looks like there may be a correction in the next few sessions in store for the U.S. dollar. I expect the election, that although close, will probably not be a repeat of the 2000 election. With that, the dollar will most likely see a move towards positive territory correcting any "skittishness" in the market leading up to tomorrow's election. However, I doubt that this will be long-term. The data coming out of America hasn't exactly been rosy. But, then again, the rest of the world hasn't been stellar as well. Still with a dollar correcttion in the next few days, it could provide great buying opportunities for euro, cable, and aussie. Also, I'm very bearish on $/� and $/cad.

The results may be contested fiercely..maybe not..it's 50-50 chance, may need that much time to ascertain the actual vote counts for the electoral college to officially do their "thing". Also, Nov 11 is end of 2nd week of "election fallout" & chop, would be time for big money gain enough confidence to enter mkt if above goes as said.

OK Raden.....//

For newbies, sometimes we will talk about giving our possies room to breathe. What is meant by that is price action GENERALLY is never is a straight line. It vibrates back and forth. The reason for this of course is that there are buyers and sellers at at various levels. For instance at 1.8308 BID there were some BUYERS of GBP/USD . This of course pushed gbp/usd back up again and then we had some sellers, When 1.8308 bid is seen again if there are no longer any more buyers THERE then price action will go lower until more buyers are found. This is why at times it may take several attcks on a level to break it one way or the other because all the buyers or sellers at that level HAVEN't had their orders filled yet or perhaps they are coming in with FRESH orders.

Dallas GEP - I figure right now it's just cycling between 1.217 and 1.224 (roughly). I'm going to keep trading long off that (say in the 1.2180's-90's) with SL's in the 1.2150's or so, on the assumption that there isn't going to be much spec flow to spike it further down, and that as the uncertainty re. the US elections is settled, the general tenor should be up. Especially as folks who think that Canada is a safe haven start investigating whatour maple syrup republic really is, relative to the States, after the election. Could be wrong though :)

Several of us have mentioned about usd/cad being perhaps a ccy pair to watch out for and to not trade. Reasson for that is usd/cad seems to be one of the least likely pairs to follow technicals so while USD COULD gain , usd/cad could actually short as is the case NOW for instance

Swiss National Bank can't raise interest rates quite as quickly as it might have done otherwise. And investors might question extending their already long Swiss franc positions against the euro. But, with risk aversion once again on the rise and other recent safe ports of call, such as sterling and the Canadian dollar, starting to look very much off limits, the Swiss franc could still be the place to go. "A further move into risk aversion territory could provide renewed support for the Swiss franc," said Benedikt Germanier, a currency strategist with censored in Zurich. Also, argues Brendan Brown, chief strategist with Mitsubishi Securities International in London, although Swiss growth is slowing down, so is that of most of its major competitors. As far as the euro is concerned, for example, he points to the fading hopes of an early rate rise by the European Central Bank. "A 5%-10% appreciation (of the Swiss franc against the euro) is well within the range of mainstream scenarios," he forecasts.

USD/JPY-106.25. Should stay above 106 for 107.15.

Zaporozhye, UA Nemo 07:39 GMT November 1, 2004 Reply   
Data released Monday showed speculators' net yen-long positions soared to 27,636 contracts in the week to Oct. 26 from 8,565 contracts the week before.
It was the largest volume of yen longs since the week to Feb. 17, so the unwinding of these positions may briefly send the dollar higher.
That has led J.P. Morgan Chase Bank of Tokyo to recommend unwinding dollar-short, yen-long positions for now and begin selling the U.S. unit again when it bounces back above Y107.00.
"In the medium- to long-term, our expectations for a weaker dollar haven't changed, but given the recent buildup of yen longs and the events calendar this week, we recommend buying back shorts," said Tohru Sasaki, the bank's chief
currency strategist.

The dollar, however, likely won't find much support other than such position-adjustment, with little chance for Japan's Ministry of Finance to step into the market to stem the yen's rise at current levels, traders say.
"With an end to Japan's deflation in sight, intervention, if there is any, will come below Y105.00," said Daisuke Uno, market analyst at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking, noting that the chance of MOF action will increase only when the dollar falls below its March 31 low of Y103.40.

Uno expects the dollar to test its Feb. 11 low of Y105.16 this week and target Y100-Y105 by the end of this year.

An obvious Res. may appear at 436, as some of my computations show, and also extending a line between the tops of 1/6/04 and 4/1/04 will be currently at 436.
If one wants to risk a trade against the trend. 436$ may be a price to short to cover and reverse at 430.

hi Sydney PYR 05:57 GMT, I think that one is a single individual preference. Some like it simple, just use MA (or EMA) and bolinger band. Some like to use RSI, Stochastic, MACD, MDI, Parabolic, Momentum. Even those also every individual has their own set of parameters they are convenient of using.
TIA

EUR/AUD cross forms solid base just above 1.6980, a 62% fibo retracement (from 1.6815/1.7250) with next exposure to 1.7250 (19 Oct high), a medium-term objective. AUD is likely to retreat back to its lower range of 0.7400 ahead of next 0.7387 (25 Oct lows). RBA board meeting tomorrow will be watched with great interest for rate watchers despite near-universal expectation of no change by CB censored.

For the fourth time in five trading days the AUD/USD failed to take hold above 0.7500 and came off to a low of 0.7471 when the USD bounced back. One reason for the USD bounce was comments from a Chinese official stating that there were more steps to be taken to cool inflation. The AUD was sensitive to the remarks due to its status as a commodity currency. Traders also reported that a large investment bank bought a decent amount of USD against a number of currencies and a very long AUD/USD market took some profit. The main focus will be the U.S. election tomorrow. Analysts feel that a close result that could end up in the courts would be a very bearish event for the USD. If that is the case the AUD/USD should ride the sell USD wave towards
0.7600. If the election produces a clear cut victor the AUD/USD could be very vulnerable to a USD relief rally, as IMM data shows net longs at 28.5. A break below 0.7400 should confirm that a 0.7510 top is in place IFR

Bris TW 04:38 GMT - I used to pick just one curve to describe the market movement. However something is missing when the market changes its rhythm during period. Therefore I show you the complete picture. In general 3 dominating curves are used to describe the market movement within the defined period. Curve A is usually the best.

The neutral zone will give you some idea about the momentum of the market. Follow the flow once the market is trading outside the neutral zone. When the market's momentum is dinmished it will be pulled back into the neutral zone.

On Monday and Friday we will concentrate on the weekly cycle charts. I will complete my weekly cycle analyses after I finish my study with EUR/AUD and EUR/CAD.

I have noticed that you have changed the way you write you analysis. I remember daily, weekly and quarterly levels that were straight forward and easy to follow. Now you use this Curve A, B, C and neutral zones.

Can you explain these curves and why you have changed to use this? What is this neutral zone?

Something for people who believes in miracles:

Redskins play before the election has predicted who will win since 1944. Well, the Redskins v. Green Bay game ended a few hours ago and it looks as though Kerry is going to win on Tuesday.

The outcome of Washington Redskins home football games has correctly predicted the winner of every U.S. presidential election since 1936.

And it might keep to be true after such a long history of that predictions.

IMM CTA data out Friday showed large increases in short-USD, long-ccy positions. JPY alone saw a big jump in
open interest from 8565 to 27,636, and the data was for the week-ended October 26. Plenty more JPY longs-USD shorts were likely to have been put on thereafter, especially into the weekend as USD/JPY broke below 106.00. Another leg up may be seen if the U.S. election produces a clear-cut winner right away. Some of the USD sales seen as of late were on expectations of political deadlock associated with a tight race. A clear-cut winner could seen USD/JPY jump to the 108.00 level. That said, further moves up may be difficult what with the U.S. economy still facing huge twin deficits. China does remain a wild card, and renewed fears of a hard landing could see USD retrace more

BC - I doubt the Fed is in favor of a weaker dollar given the fact that The Honorable Chairman's view of the transitory nature of enrgy prices has proven false - the Fed is usually neutral on the dollar but any increase in prices (especially while world demand is expanding) is going to be very unwelcome - there is a real split among the Fed members as some have taken to comment on the dollar and the trade deficit

Good trades.
