EUR/USD may fall to 1.4380 on selling by non-Japan investors to take profits, says trader at Tokyo securities company; "many players are likely to try to lock in profits by selling the euro against the dollar as global stocks could fall following the U.S. stock plunge last night." But lingering speculation that rate gaps between U.S., Europe could shrink further may support pair. Tips resistance at 1.4450 for now

Bond Insurer ACA May Be Next Hazard In Credit Crunch -ReportAn exotic form of bond insurance could be the next hidden hazard to blow up in the global credit market minefield, with ACA Capital ) sparking the explosion, Businessweek reported on its Web site Thursday.
The magazine said the potential problem stems from firms selling insurance to banks and other major investors for bonds backed by mortgages and collateralized debt obligations, or CDOs. The policies, called credit default swaps, are designed to protect investors in case the securities default.
Businessweek said as CDOs grew into a trillion-dollar business, credit default swaps became a lucrative source of revenue for companies such as American International GroupMBIA (MBI), and Ambac Financial Group ). Businessweek said it's difficult to assess the extent of the danger, noting that bond insurers argue that the worst-case scenario -- mass CDO defaults, forcing tens of billions in insurance payouts -- is highly remote, given the limited downgrades to date. Insurers also note that many of their policies provide coverage for the highest-rated slices of CDOs, which are the least likely to default, the news magazine said.

USD/JPY likely to weaken toward 114.00 in tandem with falls in JPY crosses amid growing risk aversion following sharp drop in U.S. stocks overnight, says trader at Tokyo securities company. "Many players remain concerned about the fallout from U.S. subprime loan jitters"; adds, "if Asian stocks fall, crosses will likely slide in tandem, which in turn may hamper rises in the dollar against the yen." But receding expectations of near-term BOJ hike may support pair. Notes players now awaiting U.S. October jobs data for clues on future course of U.S. economy, possibility of further rate cuts by Fed.

Hi
JPY
Amidst the whirlwind of records set against the greenback yesterday, the JPY managed to stay proportionately neutral. Following Japan's announcement that interest rates will stay at 0.5%, Governor Fukui reiterated the Bank of Japans statement noting slowed economic growth in the country. After abandoning initial ideas that consumer prices in Japan would rise, there was not much surprise that rates stayed the same. As Japan is dependent on the growth of the global economy, the latest news from the US will inevitably lead the Japanese to make some changes to avoid damaging the JPY. With the fate of the JPY in the hands of outside factors, look for the JPY to continue to produce volatile results over the coming days. http://www.censored.com/en/?zone_id=1282

Thanks Syd and Jake, I'm an architect - the beginning of the pipeline for housing, and it has softened a lot - commercial too. Contractors are worried about having enough work and losing crew. Equity has gone way down, so spending follows. Hiring is down. Unless the numbers are tweaked, tomorrow's 8:30 EST jobs data should also encourage continued equity losses. I'm thinking the Asians will not want to go into the weekend with high risk. Tonight is the end of their week, so we could see some heavy unwinding and stops triggered on the way down.

Hello all again. I'm thinking of adding to my shorts in AUD - NZD/Yen tonight. What's the consensus? are we in for another stiff drop in Carry? I'm thinking 1. their equity markets will follow our steep drop, 2. The news out of Citigroup will be echoed - raising concerns about how bad other derivatives are in all banks, 3. continued bad news on home building and 4. the feeling that we are definitely seeing a drop in consumer spending - recession. - That a top has been reached and we are turning the corner now.

Geneva, I too want to caution you on the Trumpet articles. They read well, but they tend to write in support of their Fundamentalist Christian expectations of the rising Beast Power, Financial collapse etc. They have been warning of it for decades. I used to be a member of the Philadelphia Church of God, who publishes the Trumpet. Not to say it is all bad, I still lean toward that view, but they are always looking just for the bad news.

Oily- Point was there is a context for each comment made. Misrepresenting them is different. as for the trend reversal I do think it is here. I could/may be wrong just like anyone.
Other points by others that a "trend" in one traders view and timeframe is different than anothers. That's why I also agree with Ed Seykota that there really is no such thing as a trend only a history, present and future. None of which defines the other except by a non-statistical outcome of chance.
Have been scalping and adding shorts into rallies today on EUR/USD and GBP/USD headfakes but will not bother with the details. Just holding the line for now as posted earlier. Also added shorts on SP 500 y'day after the rally but only counting the levels posted earlier here and oil trades at the top from the futures forum.
All is well. Good to see you here friend.

Geneva - think about that article - it is classic 19th century economics - there is a good chance that yuan would fall because the economic and financial institutions in China could not support it - the author proposes that if China did not buy treasuries the dollar would fall - perhaps interest rates would rise to support the dollar // the EUR is the beneficiary of excess USD flow from china and asia so an alternative like CNY would draw the excess out of EU depressing the EUR

October 30, 2007 | From theTrumpet.com
China could set off a huge disruption to the global financial system. America may be first to feel it.
A “huge tsunami” of economic instability will engulf the globe’s financial markets if China bows to international pressure to switch the yuan to a free-floating currency, warns Australia’s treasurer. For America: higher interest rates, a falling dollar and soaring inflation may be about to smack home like the biggest wave since the Great Depression.
When China floats the yuan, it will be “a wild ride,” Peter Costello, the Australian treasurer, warned. “That will set off a huge tsunami that will go through world financial markets.”
For years, China has run a massive trade surplus with America—running into the trillions of dollars. Many U.S. officials feel the reason for this, at least in part, is the fact that China has kept its currency undervalued in relation to the dollar.
Normally in free-market conditions, when a country has a huge trade surplus its currency would appreciate compared to the country with the trade deficit. In this case, the yuan should have increased and the dollar decreased in value. Thus, the theory goes, Chinese exports would become more expensive and American exports would become more affordable, and consequently the trade relationship balance out.
However, Chinese officials, realizing a good thing, decided to artificially keep the yuan pegged to the dollar—so as the dollar’s value dropped, so did the yuan’s. Chinese exporters maintained their advantage and China continued to collect the billions it gained in trade with the U.S.
The interesting part comes in with what China did with all its surplus trade dollars.
Instead of spending them, which would have allowed the dollar to fall and the yuan to rise, it invested vast amounts of them into U.S. treasuries (which is the primary way they pegged the yuan to the dollar). These purchases, which have gone on for years and years, propped up the value of the dollar. Without Chinese treasury purchases, the dollar would have fallen in value long ago.
It is true that since 2005, China has moved to a floating-dollar peg, allowing the yuan to slightly rise against the dollar (approximately 10 percent). However, when compared to other currencies such as the euro, the Canadian and Australian dollars, or even Thai bahts, some of which have appreciated in excess of 40 percent during that time frame, the yuan’s appreciation is insignificant.
The marginal strengthening of the yuan verses the dollar is why many American officials feel that little improvement in Chinese-U.S. trade has occurred, and is why they keep pressuring China to let the yuan float freely.
However, a free-floating yuan will have very serious consequences.
“The day they decide to float their currency you are going to get huge reversals of financial flows around the globe, which will affect all exchange rates, that’s why I compared it to a tsunami,” said Costello. “All flows of capital they have been sending to the U.S. might reverse ….”
Those reversals of financial flows will not only work to drive the dollar lower, but would also have huge consequences on the way of life in America.
Paul Craig Roberts, who was assistant secretary of the Treasury under President Ronald Reagan, put it this way: “When China’s currency ceases to be undervalued, American shoppers in Wal-Mart, where 70 percent of the goods on the shelves are made in China, will think they are in Neiman Marcus. Price increases will cause a dramatic reduction in American real incomes. If this coincides with rising interest rates and a setback in the housing market, American consumers will experience the hardest times since the Great Depression” (American Conservative, July 4, 2005).
The approaching wave may be almost ready to break. •

That is like pointing out that you called for EUR/USD into the 1.1x's last year while it was channeling in the 1.2x's- which you did. Also, I remember last year you posted about how the Canadian dollar should weaken because of economic faltering. What does any of that have to do with today? Was that genuine? Please!

As Oil Price Sets New High,
Stress Hits Developing Nations
One of the biggest forces behind the near-quadrupling of oil prices this decade has been voracious fuel demand in China and other developing nations. But with crude closing in on $100 a barrel, shortages and price spikes are sparking economic and social tensions from Beijing to Tehran. That stress could signal a turning point in the long-running energy boom.Officials say the situation could worsen if not quickly resolved. A man was killed by another customer Tuesday morning after jumping a line to buy gasoline in the Henan Province city of Xinyang, local police said

Why a reversal here..For me the US$ is about to have another heavy move to the downside with I% decreasing while increasing elsewhere (or at least seen as for the moment)..
When carry start cutting I% this might be a different story though this should also pull all x/jpy pairs to the upside which in the end pulls all the carry pairs to the upside not really helping the US$.

HKD recap from wednesday's moves follow two interventions by the HKMA last week, which were its first such actions in more than two years, causing speculation that Hong Kong might widen the peg, or drop it all together. For the time being the 1/4 cut in US has been followed suit by the HK authorities.
There are rumors that it's lobbying Beijing to drop the peg, dropping the mechanism and allow some wider fluctuations accordingly with the yuan hkd.
Even if the market is relative and minor as interventions has been said to be in the amount of modest 800 mios.

Good amusing risk diversions with daily BS doing the forum walks.. :))
//Shenzhen CP 14:53 GMT October 31, 2007//.. Laowen?
ideal entry levels are only evident in hindsight & absolute entries are dependent on risk profile & trade management tactics.. but good risk entries may be present with daily reverse candle close below the previous low after an extended rise plus high time-frame price-tech/inter-market divergence.. there's no need to pollute classic trade rules with fancy high techs or funnymentals..
that said, Euro up here within this 1.4450/1.4550 band matching the old daddy Dmark highs is a great contra for BBB (Brave, Beautiful Bears) looking for those rare risk adjusted paydays.. an implusive take-out of the hourly 50ma would enhance the pip making odds for conservative bears or intra-day pikers.. fwiwW

Fail to see how a poster who claims that EUR/USD will print 1.5000 should be treated any different than someone who claims that same pair is on its way to 1.4000. If there is concern about the welfare of FX noobs, perhaps we should focus on exposing those that have been known to recruit on this forum with promises of “conservative” money management practices and who ultimately have managed to cripple if not ruin their clients’ accounts.

USDCAD 8hr x1000 chart shows a very good 5 wave pattern with extended 3rd. The final leg starting from august 16th looks like its completing its wave 3 soon. Looking at 1 hour x1000 charts suggests that this wave 3 is still incomplete so shorting cad is a mistake. Why? I did believe it was over but the corrective sequences are constantly dragged down indicating the strength of the underlying trend is still too strong to make a reversal. The recent move makes sub .9400 likely.
Similarly AUDUSD is clearly not done.

Oil market is out of our control, says Opec
OPEC oil ministers say they are powerless in the face of many factors driving up the price of crude, with one member of the producers' cartel warning that the 'market is out of control'.
Mohammed bin Dhaen al-Hamli, president of Opec, told a conference in London yesterday that record oil prices are the result of speculative investment and international political tensions. "We are of course concerned about high oil prices," he said. But "the market is increasingly driven by forces beyond Opec's control".
Oil analysts at Goldman Sachs, which in July predicted that oil may reach $95 a barrel, told investors yesterday that it was time to "sell" oil

You are absolutely correct. Most of the time on this forum, most traders are talking a trend which extends back some time.
For instance... If you look back to EUR/US for more than a month....yoiu will find the trend is long on all time frames above 1 hour chart.
Hardly any one here uses a 5 minute trend....
I normally use a 4 hour chart for 3 months, and if agrees with a 1 hour chart which reaches back a week... I call that a trend....

A very simple way to trade when it's trending is just to buy the asian lows..
So yesterday an example : i added 2.0690 GBPUSD cause the asian low was around there an hour or 2 before fomc..
Not really important the support or resistance , just that it's trending so it goes eventually more up than down..

Trend
This word can be misleading unless the period to which it is being applied is clearly stated.
Is it a trend over a 5 week period on a daily chart?
Is it a trend over a 12 month period on a weekly chart?
Is it a trend over a 2 hour period on a 5 minute chart?
Etc...etc......
Every market usually has numerous "trends" in force and without clear definition of "period" and cart time bar the use of the word is at risk of being meaningless.

The way i see it , the US$ decline of the past few years is just an " aperçu " of what is unfolding at present...The decline is going to increase in speed with I% rate differential increasing , or at least perceived as increasing (increasing or even just going above for EURO).
Why not some big fat weekly bar till january 4 and feb 15 alla 2000...Plus winter time is usually not the good time for the US$..

Zeus :
I haven't been here in awhile, but you were predicting this a year ago , and ever since ...quote "the USD bull camp is growing and growing"...What makes you think 1.45 is the time for the USD reversal...I can see a move to the downside from here , even 1.41 or 1.40 , or even 1.38 , then what?...1.50?..
US cutting I% isn't exactly the reversal to a stronger US$ , but points to further decline...Money is no patriot ,and just goes where it's better cared for.

Well stated it already. My views and book are heavily biased for a massive USD run. Makes some here hostile to think of it but that is ok because in their mind prices only move in one direction. Time will prove who the MASSes are. Let's just leave it at that shall we? Well and heavily geared with leverage. I accept it as well as the outcome. Must use outsized risk for outsized returns and must load the wagon when the odds are there. They are and I am so be it.
Will hold the line for this reversal with that view even if it squeezes some. The trend is your friend. Mark this the beginning of the USD trend on your charts.
Will check back after to remind the antagonists what mASSes they were as we laugh our B's off!
Adios amigos. I now ride off in the sunset.

Well NT we know what you have done for your clients in that "conservative" portfolio down some 80%.
But hey Trick or treat. Looks like those buying EUR/USD and GBP/USD will get tricked on the reversal USD treat.
Happy Day!
