listen/read what various fed speakers have to say, week in week out, as long as data stays decent they will not cut and unless inlfation spikes, will not hike - also check fed fund futures going out.

No key data are due from Japan on Thursday. During that session both the outcome of the BOE (12:00 GMT - - 07:00 EST) and the ECB (12:45 GMT - - 07:45 EST) meetings will be announced. In both cases rates are likely to be held steady. The session will also see U.K. November industrial/manufacturing output data.

At 13:30 GMT (08:30 EST) initial jobless claims are seen +325,000 vs +320,000 in the previous period. At 15:30 GMT (10:30 EST), weekly natural gas inventories will be released. At 19:00 GMT (14:00 EST), the December treasury surplus is due.

I would borrow YEN to do a lot of things, besides margin trading. I would buy my GOLD bullion when it falls to 540, Gold now at 609. (by the way, Marc Faber uttered 480 Gold)

a few contracts of oil when it falls to 47, Oil now at 54 (God is fair, HE gives you a warm winter WITH a cold Spring), also Brother H*** wants to use low Oil to bankrupt Ahmadinejadd, Chavez and may be Putin as well.

Nay, no Euros or Sterling for me,

May be buy a house in Sausilito,

Another one in Hawaii.
Or may be some Copper, Orange Juice (note El Nino is coming)

Also to donate some gains to the Melinda Gates foundation. They are doing a great job !!!!

In a few days the BOJ is going to hike their rates...Something the market has not seen in quite awhile...
The market is supposily already "pricing" this..

Be wary of the $/Y...It hasn't moved for real in a long time, the market underlying is about to change (BOJ hiking rates)..
it could keep going up...but it could do the usual trick (a 2K pips down move for 10 sessions)..
careful , careful..

$/Y , the "easy carry" :

In 1983 $/Y was at 260..
It dropped to 122..Then it made a new "high" at 150...Followed another downmove 92.
Another new "high" to 142..
Another drop to 106....Then it went to 135...Where it dropped 104...And now it went to 119...where will it goes this time...60 or lower..

All I have to say to that is look at a 1998 $/Yen charts and that would have went horribly wrong. $/Yen fell from 135 to 116 in like 72 hours. That carry only works if $/Yen stays the same or if it goes up. No such thing as a free lunch

a fresh reminder
"In the events leading up to the Great Depression, many investors used very large margin positions ../... However, when the depression hit, these investors worsened their overall financial situations, because not only did they lose everything they owned, they also owed large amounts of money. Because lending institutions could not get any money back from investors, many banks had to declare bankruptcy. In order to prevent such events from occurring again, the Securities and Exchange Commission made regulations that prevent investors from taking large positions on margin."-www.investopedia.com

Bloomberg reported yesterday that an Anglo-American body representing the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, SEC and FSA have been interviewing banks with regard to credit margins applied to hedge funds.
If the authorities are concerned about the level of carry trades, in FX, commodities or other markets the margins banks apply to their loans is the main area where they can try to control indirectly the volumes dealt.

Mark my words, there is only one such opportunity in 5 yrs, everything is falling, gold,oil and ready credit is just a call away, and a riskfree borrowing. Low YEN interest to buy commodites at their multiyr low.

Goto your bank, ask to take a loan in JPY.
Borrow 119,000 YEN for 1 month, 0.3% interest per annum or 30Yen/mth

Take up a contract Short YEN Long USD at 119
wait for one month,
close your position at 125 (140 possible by yr end),
Gain= 600,000 YEN

Profit Margin = 20,000 %

That is why Carry Trade is the most lucrative trade and why Wall Street makes Billions in Bonus.

If you short 100 Contracts, you make 60 mio YEN or 480,000 USD within a month.
Your cost is only 3000 Yen.

Imagine, BoJ does not hike for the next 9 months (first hike only in Oct 07), you are guaranteed a almost RISK FREE investment.

Ask you BANKER today. You canbe richer than your banker in a month time.

Smart monies have been doing this for many years. If all the MEGAFUNDs are selling Yen, even BoJ does not have enough foreign reserve to buy back their Yen.

BoJ would start to activate its agreements with other Asia CBs, and start borrowing USD from other CBs, like Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia etc.

Then the Asia countries would be drained of their dollar reserves.
Then the weakest of them would be next, e.g. Korea, Thailand, Malaysia.

When Yen reaches 140, all Asia currencies would scramble to buy USD, see who sells their local currencies faster.

EUR/USD is slipping toward key support at 1.2930, which Barclays Capital says "is the line in the sand to determine if the '06 uptrend survives." A daily close below here signals the rate has already topped out and is heading back toward 1.23, it adds.

a quick reminder fwiw

Many traders, from the individual speculator to the large fund will focus on the large round figures or round numbers when applying their analysis to the FX-market for a number of reasons. Option traders tend to select these price levels whether their exercising American, European, or Exotic options, as well as the placement of protective stop orders.

From last gains minus loss i have managed to get my hands on some material that writes about lows and highs. If lows or highs are searched for a few times, it calls for a break. If i hold such material next to the usd/jpy, it is time to see a new high.... On the other hand this is the market....
I am still a shorter near 11990, because i think that downside has far more potential that up...

In the latest monthly sentiment survey of professional forex dealers by global-view.com, the leading forex discussion website, sentiment for the USD against the EUR has improved. The three-month ahead mean forecast for EUR/USD was 1.3033 from 1.3391 a month earlier. The EURUSD spot price at the mid-point (January 8 close) of when the survey was being conducted was 1.3019.

The GVI-Cumino Euro bull index (Range 0-100; 0 = most bearish, 100 = most bullish, 50 = neutral) was about steady in the EUR/USD at 54 from 58 previously. The GVI-Cumino index uses a theoretical neutral option strategy to measure the intensity and direction of individual trader sentiment from price levels at the time when forecasts were made.

The USD/JPY mean dollar forecast improved to 115.47 from 113.27 one month ago. The USD/JPY spot rate at the mid-point of when the survey was being conducted was 118.73. The GVI-Cumino dollar bull index remained USD bearish. It was 27 after 28.

Traders expect the price of crude oil (WTI) to close at $59.81 in three-months time from the current spot vs. the previous $61.37 estimate.

In a special question, participants where they expected U.S. Fed Funds (now 5.25%) to close 2Q07. Exactly 50% expect no change, while 26% expect it to decline to 5.00% and 19% expect funds at 5.50%. 5% saw more than one 25bp move.

Day Ahead
US – November trade data is due and it will be interesting to see whether the sharp narrowing seen last month (to the lowest level since August 2005) has been sustained. With oil prices remaining soft for most of November there is a good chance of this happening and if so it would be a supportive development for the USD. Weekly mortgage applications data is also due although after recent gross volatility it will take a run of weak or strong numbers in coming weeks for the market to have confidence in taking a view on what is happening.

Canada – Canadian trade data is due and the CAD will be sensitive to weak or strong export data. With some key commodity prices remaining weak this is a delicate time for the CAD and exports have fallen in each of the past two months. However, last week’s stronger than expected employment report was a positive development for the CAD and today could be key in determining whether USD-CAD can gain sufficient momentum to break through short-term resistance at 1.1800 (which would leave risk up to 1.1975-1.2000). The short-term market is already very long of USD-CAD, so any positive CAD news could see some corrective activity. Below 1.1715 would leave risk down to 1.1600-25. ...

“normally by humans the mouth sucks and not the language they try to speak, enjoy sucking with your mouth.”

The implication is that you digest what you inhale, be it on what level you receive it at.
The interpretation of this information is subject to, in the case of humans, their own individual psychological aspects and personal ‘filters’.

Which is a major aspect to trading the FX market.

I have read many times the arguments between fundamentals and technicals aspects to trading. The ‘technicals’ say that the market will absorb the fundamentals, therefore, the technical indicators will prevail.

I see this is true to the extent that the market will react on consensus expected fundamentals ahead of the release time. But times have changed, and major fundamental release times do not have the same influence on the market as they used to.

Don’t ignore the fundamentals - just beware that their influence has changed. This market session is an example.

Any discussion I look forward to on the help forum.

Expected fundamentals due out:

GBP visible trade balance gives a down consensus figure GMT 9:30.
USD trade balance gives a down consensus figure GMT 13:30.

The EUR/USD appears to be going against these fundamental figures and continuing with its down trend.


Overall pressure I see is down for the EUR/USD - ref my post yesterday, but will bounce trades on short term indicators for now.

Once the UK market settles down we might see the direction of the market. But, given the recent state of the market, I have tight margins.

U.K. Pound May Drop as Consumer Confidence Slips to 2-Year Low
Jan. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The pound may fall against the euro, snapping a two-day winning run, after a survey showed confidence among U.K. consumers fell in December to match a two-year low.

The pound has fallen against the euro for the last two months on speculation the U.K.'s interest-rate advantage over the euro region will narrow this year. The BOE last month kept its repurchase rate at 5 percent as the European Central Bank raised its benchmark for the sixth time in a year, to 3.5 percent.

Dollar-Yen moved back up to 119.56 yesterday after having found Support in the 117.98-118.11 region over Friday-Monday. As such, the overall upmove from the 114.43 Low of 05-Dec is still in force. Countervailing that is a strong/ imporant Trend Resistance in the 119.50-70 region on a line joining the Highs at 121.35(Dec-05) and 119.91 (Oct-06).

The next few days could see the market ranging between 119.70 and 118.70-50 as the market currently lacks the conviction to stage either a bullish break above 119.70 or a major fall below 118.50, which could trigger a decline towards 117.00 and lower.

oilman, I supposed you have changed your view on dlr/jpy.
Do you think the 115.xx goal will be delayed to Feb?

Well said, further more , if EY stays above 154.50 before European open, it might make a new high during the day (aka 155.5+)..

Hi all, shorted u/j here 119.36 s/l @ 119.60, rejection @ 119.67 & double top 119.49/51 along with long gravestone last hour look pretty certain(?) in my book, but have been stopped twice on shorts in the last 24hrs, so see what happens at the s/t bull t/line. Shorted e/j from it's second bounce on 155.00, firm rebound off 61.8% of 158.00 - 153.65 looks good but have 20 pip trail as I don't trust the fker one little bit, has got nasty big teeth this one.

EUR/USD to test support; recovery yesterday stalled on resumption of moderate USD gains, underpinned by reference to recent solid economic data, also improved confidence from lower oil prices. Overall outlook remains bearish after break of major support levels. Data focus today U.S. November trade balance. Daily chart indicators negative, Dow Jones technical analysis shows; pair's breach of 1.2972 (yesterday's low) now targets 1.2925 (50% retracement of 1.2484 to 1.3367 advance).
