EUR/JPY now off highs, may fall to 161.00 if stop-sell orders around 161.20 triggered, says Tokyo trader; "it's likely that players, who think that the current level of the euro/yen is too high, may start to sell to lock in profits, and trigger the stop-sell orders." But piled-up buy orders around 161.00 from Japan importers, investors, will likely support pair.

RBNZ likely concerned about strong non-tradables inflation number, housing contribution to 1Q CPI, says ASB Bank Chief Economist Nick Tuffley, adding however, that ASB still of view it will keep rates unchanged at OCR review next week - but only just; says though headline CPI number ahead of RBNZ forecasts, it won't be of much concern as partly due to petrol prices, while other tightening has been delivered; "monetary conditions have tightened very substantially since the last MPS, particularly with mortgage rates jumping quite a lot and also the exchange rate lifting markedly" to touch new post-float high this morning. Expects stern statement from RBNZ but thinks it has time to wait with this rate decision

Totally agree with your view , with Europe and UK hiking rates and pushing their economies into slower growth , hearing 50bp hike not out of the question and looking for possible top at 6% . While the US housing market already feeling the pain of higher rates its only just started to affect Europe and UK , that and the election to contend with a dangerous cocktail

Bodrum OEE- Hello friend. Here we are on another surge to thin out on some more GBP/USD longs from the trend reversal position we built from 1.9591 the other day.
Ok at the end of this surge should have 30% remaining after this to slice out on additional surges or reversal whichever comes first.

Bank of England's King to write a letter to Chancellor Brown, explaining why inflation has breached its target range. In any case, the pound quickly rallied to its highest level since 1992, and is within striking range of its highest levels since 1981. The last two times the pound breached the 2.0000 barrier, back in 1992 and also in 1991, it quickly reversed direction and made a sharp decline of least 40 big figures in four months (in 1991) and 60 big figures in five months (in 1992).
Are we in a similar cyclical position now? Most likely, yes. Although we expect some further dollar selling pressure - and Sterling strength - into next week, this is the most likely time for a significant peak to form. The pound should make some further gains in the next several days, but after that we expect a strong reversal and a sustained decline. We should once again look at 2.0000 as a good area to sell pounds, even though there should be a week of pain first. For longer-term players, start getting short around these levels. FXC

Yes there are various entry techniques for this and that. More combinations than there are traders perhaps.
Also, it is easy to think of extremes once at an extreme i.e if EUR/USD falls into the mid 1.20's we can see 1.15 as a possibility just as 1.35 is a possibility once 1.30 is seen etc.
Maybe there were those that were USD positive last week but now are USD bearish- its all cyclical IMO. Last year my best trades were shorting gold and oil at their peaks when gold was sure to go to 1000 and oil 100 as their next marker.
At times trends reverse when least expected.
One great thing about the high probability scalp trade is that a trader can generate performance while the low probability trend trades grind teeth out of traders i.e. last summer.

System still shows "build the tower" (and hope it doesn't lean over). Current srtat is to add for another 1-1 1/2 figures lower if seen as an all in for this allocation then hold the line for a stop about 1 fig below that. Either way let's see...

And it was definitely true ,we couldn't say back then at 1.2870 , it was the bottom , even though i felt it would be...We can only say it now...at 1.35...
Question is where to from here ...
Should the US$ be bought?
I tried it 2 weeks ago , and lost a couple hundred pips, there was nothing to say buy the us$ back then , there's still nothing right now...So keep SHORT US $.

The market behaved like i said last night, we made a little low , and fell on chinese buys at 1.2870's..Sooner or later was bound to happen..Now have to see if there's a follow through, bringing us to 1.34...Though before E$ bulls rejoice there's a lot of work to do..Probably over 1.3050 before we can point to a bottom, though big size bids usually put a floor.

Ab, just need to be in the right direction and increase leverage when it goes the right way..
E$ is ready to bottom , however if not here , and 1.29 gets broken the next area is 1.2720...However we could be bottoming here, with the next target at 1.3487.
A lot of signs are here :

If you are still on the scene do see $/CAD is @ the bottom
of this move, or is there more space before we hit the floor?
I would really like to go the building block route, but I think
we are nearing a bottom so I will wait & see. Meanwhile I
did TP on the 2 lots from 1349. TP @ 1293. For what its worth I'm still getting a stay short signal, but it is a fading

Why the carry trade could drop us right in
If all this rings a bell, you may be thinking of the Swiss mortgage scandals of the '80s when what seemed a ridiculously cheap loan turned out to be a catastrophe because the dollar collapsed. Paying only 4 or 5 per cent interest on a mortgage seemed like a good idea, but owing 20 per cent more than you borrowed was something else. The resulting defaults almost ruined a bank.

Fears over Treasury losing control of gold left in its vaults
Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
17/04/2007
As Gordon Brown prepares for a grilling in the Commons over his fire-sale auction of Britain's gold at the bottom of the market, concern is mounting that the Treasury may have lost control over the small amount still left in its vaults
The real risk is that the Treasury has lent out the remainder of the gold. It is very important to know whether the bank's gold lending is on a secured basis," he said. The concern is that counter-parties could default in a crisis such as the LTCM-Ashanti affair in 1998.

Morning Syd, Yes GBP is going to die, and quickly. My concern is though for the aud and euro at present. AUD is very over valued, and seems to be in topping mode on the later time frames. There are decent divergences on lower timeframes indicating that we could start an attempt at a move down. My boss told me to hedge at the high.. I have a short bias, and got into a bit of an arguement LOL.. Anyway.. I am all for a bounce in USD sentiment for now. Providing their housing data does get a little bit better over the coming weeks. We also could see the inevitable rate rise by the FED...
But for now, my thought is top on a/u e/u.. U/chf has bottomed also in my opinion but has a little bit of room.. So call me stupid :D

Guardian: Alarm over loans that can make debtors homeless
Borrowers struggling with personal loans and credit card debt are being pressured to take out consolidation loans that could result in the loss of their homes
Alarm over loans that can make debtors homeless
Peter Tutton, a social policy officer specialising in credit and debt for Citizens Advice, says: 'There are problems with secured consolidation loans - we're seeing lots of evidence that where people do get into [financial] trouble, they're being pushed into consolidation.'
Citizens Advice is conducting research on credit and debt, particularly relating to the housing market, that will be published in the summer. This, says Tutton, will name and shame lenders involved in such cases. The CCCS says its advisers are seeing a rise in the number of people struggling with loans secured against their homes. Nine times out of 10, a borrower should not convert unsecured loans to secured ones, it adds.

Its 2.5% above it's 100 and 200 day MA and less than 5% above it's 200day average. It's not uncommon for impulsive moves to move 10% (and less common times 15%) from the 200 Day MA - which like 100wk MA is used as a value line by many longer termers.

Whats the Two-Dollar Pound Hiding from the Markets?

"With the Pound so strong, how come inflation is rising so fast...?"
By way of thank you, or so the Bank would have you believe, it has given the nation record price stability. It's tweaked interest rates and twiddled the knobs of monetary policy so deftly, the Bank has abolished the risk of runaway inflation, but also steered clear of the dreaded deflation, too.

Ok guys thx for the nice words.
But please remember this is a building block process- not the std hellfire quick strike. Thus am building the position one building block at a time. In the end if it looks like that leaning tower in Pisa.. So caution must be used and adding slowly- easy does it. Currently positioned to add down to around 1.12 with staying power near 1.11 for this position. No adds for some time however. Targeting the 1.1270ish as a more than exponential double down then the last add would be a magnitude greater.

Another question we should ask is why did Mervyn King put himself in the embarassing position of having to explain why CPI was above target in an open letter to the Chancellor. Surely he can see a bigger picture developing where inflation will fall sooner rather than later.

It may not be as tasty to some, however good when used in various soup stocks (I found) especially when cooked with green lentl, brown rice and vegetables. Considering the increase in the number of vegetarians, investing in soya might add to taste if successful. In case the GBP reversal (especailly against USD, CHF and JPY) takes place meanwhile, one could win again. I rather not highlight health as the fourth wave gain, to prevent controversy.

Interesting , my monologue view on $/CAD is approaching the first critical level under it, we go to the New all time low :
Cannes Oil man 14:49 GMT February 23, 2007
Now this is interesting , cause here we are at 1.16, and i have the same exact indicators playing with one at 3416 while it was at 1789 in may 2004..It shows the upside volatility strength (when it goes down vol reverses to the downside , it's now doing so)..
It's hard not to think in terms of high and lows , cause once 1.14 breaks this on the weekly designates $/CAD coming up with a new all time lows coming in the months ahead.
06:54 GMT May 27, 2004
Thank you for your views, I will then share ours.
Our systematic approach on the $/CAD is currently to be shorting the $/CAD 1.37-1.39.
Ideally targetting low 1.2's.
On a technical analysis side, we note several trending indicators which possibly indicate further strenght in Canadian dollars.Some of this indicators are currently as bearish as $CAD 1.60,However signals do change (we were Long $cad from lower levels before the break 1.3870)and we'll stick to the value of the signal until our risk limits are hit (sorry if that is obvious.)
As for the fundamentals for the strenghtning of the Canadian dollar, I (personally) feel the surge in oil prices will be a big part of it.

Thx for the kind words South. This is a different trade than what is usually posted. Instead of the hellfire laser guided missile strikes that are typically posted this is a contra-position building trade for the possible rebound. Adding into it slow and steady as a full allocation position- still taking all the usual strikes on the other pairs in the meanwhile. So building blocks are added as the CAD strengthens. In the end it will either look like that tower in pisa and may crumble- or it may be a thing of beauty. Time will tell. Let's see....

News: Mortgage rejection misery intensifies
Tue, 17 Apr 07
Cautious lenders have rejected over 460,000 mortgage applicants in the past six months, according to a recent survey...
Reuters reports that over 463,000 people were refused a mortgage in the half-year to mid-March, with applicants aged 18-34 the worst affected, the research by financial comparison Web site MoneyExpert.com found.
With another interest rate rise widely anticipated next month, the number of rejected applications could mount.
Sean Gardner, chief executive of MoneyExpert.com, said:
"Affordability is the major issue in the mortgage market as recent reports of a drop in the number of first-time buyers demonstrate.
Risk aversion
He added: ”The fact that around 77,000 mortgage applications are being rejected a month means it is likely that it is not only first-timers who are being hit. Lenders, quite reasonably, do not want to take risks when there are pressures on how much people can afford."

fxq// It seems worth a go. The problem with cable is that this run up to 2.000 unlike the other two failed pusches is that this one has had many consolidations and is a stronger trend then the previous two.
Also it seems to me that cable won't be troubled until there are clear signs the housing market is in trouble.
When interest rises do take effect the market will follow but that may be some time away.
I still want to fade it just want to see soem evidence of momentum turning.

Q: There is concern that the North American operations of Japanese automakers, which have been their main source of income, might become unprofitable due to the U.S. economic slowdown.
A: The North American market is no longer the driving force for Japanese carmakers. It is a mature market, one that is unlikely to bring robust profit growth. "Post-North American markets" will be the key to earnings in the future. For Toyota and Honda, it will be China, while for Suzuki, it will be India and Europe. There will be clear-cut differences between firms with a solid presence in these growing markets and those without one.
We have to pay closer attention to the fact that carmakers are going through a serious sales slump in the domestic market. Although overseas production is increasing, the fact remains that the profit margin on domestic output is high. Strong sales abroad have helped the industry, but it is inevitable that flagging domestic sales will weigh heavily on profit.

TOKYO (Nikkei)--The yen, whose weakness helped boost the profits of automakers in fiscal 2006, will likely turn against them this fiscal year as it is expected to strengthen during the term, Takaki Nakanishi, an analyst at JPMorgan Securities Japan Co., said during a recent conversation with the Nikkei Business Daily.

Agreed, however, I believe waiting for those last few pips increases your risk exponentially. Also, when everybody expecting certain price level, expect to see order book skew & therefore mean reversion (correction) as emotional trading (euphoria) cools down. Im not one to bet against the trend but crowd psychology at this point favors conclusion / preperation for next campaign. Good trades

Just anecdotal but it reminds me of the time i walked into a hot-dog restaurant in Florida and saw everyone watching CNBC and talking about their portfolios in Nov 1999.
A few of my friends who have never been close to trading or sat a course on markets or econ even, have decided to spread bet. Not just a couple of them and independently.
And of course they are all trying to give me tips on trading margin.
One friend has made 'a killing' on long USDGBP. I asked him how he based his trades, he said "i just look at the numbers and if its going in one direction i buy it. The pounds been going up so i buy it. Easy."

April 17 (Bloomberg) -- The pound rallied to $2 for the first time since September 1992 as traders wagered the Bank of England will keep raising interest rates to cool inflation fed by house prices, wage demands and consumer spending.
The U.K. pound reached the highest since September 1992, when billionaire investor George Soros and other speculators drove the currency out of the European system of linked exchange rates. Britain's economy, Europe's second-biggest, has shown few signs of cooling after three rate increases since early August. Another quarter-point move would take borrowing costs to 5.5 percent, the highest among the Group of Seven major economies.
``The sky's the limit for sterling,'' Simon Derrick, chief currency strategist at Bank of New York, said in London. ``It's a favorite for investors because of the rate differential.''

Look To See If EUR Suffers From 'Gravity'
EUR reaction to the ZEW could be telling. Sure, if the index rises over 10.0, the EUR could rise with it. But ABN-Amro says that if the EUR doesn't, this suggests the currency is starting to suffer from the 'gravity' of stretched speculative positioning. "We tend to view that this 'gravity' may not weigh it down for long if corporates and real money investors decide to use an upside spot pause as a buy point," the bank says, suggesting that this could become evident as early as this afternoon if the latest US CPI data and housing starts numbers aren't as strong as expected.

After the euphoria of carry-trade driven JPY cross rates printing new highs, US stock indices finally surpassing pre February-to-mid-March correction levels, some caution has crept into the markets overnight, notes HBoS. Asia equities traded on the soft side, problems in the US housing market are getting attention again and BoJ governor Fukui and finance minister Omi both gave veiled warnings on JPY's exchange rate overnight. The bank says even a small uptick in risk aversion could leave extended positioning in carry trades vulnerable, with EUR/JPY looking more exposed than GBP/JPY, which looks more exposed than USD/JPY.

Good day to you and all.
I expect a fall (downtrend to prevail over up) in gold and energy alike - in mid and long term as well as an acceleration next year in pace.

USD/JPY May Get Boost From US CPI,Housing Starts
USD/JPY may get the boost it needs to rise above 120 if U.S. March CPI, housing starts data stronger than expected, says trader at major Japan bank. Still, weak data could as easily cause fall below 119 as USD "at a very sensitive level at the moment", he adds. Pair likely to trade in very tight band ahead of data, says another trader; tips pair in 119.50-119.80 range for now. Pair last at 119.68 on EBS.

AUD/USD (Updated) : As shown in my monthly cycle charts the market is trying to tackle the monthly cycle normal upper limit at 0.8377, if it fails to hold the next target is the extreme level at 0.8560. On the other hand speculative selling pressure will increase if the market retreats and penetrates through 0.8316.

AUD/USD (Monthly Cycle) : As shown in the frequency chart of my monthly cycle the projected chart point at 0.8010 and 0.8193 has the same frequency numbers and this would indicate that the market can easily move between these two points, 0.8010 - 0.8193. The odds are in favor of maintaining a long position when the market is trading above 0.8193. The normal trading range of my monthly cycle is 0.7827 - 0.8377. On the other hand speculative selling pressure will increase when the market is trading below 0.8010.

Japan Retail Medium-Long Term Investments Behind Weak JPY.
This is the gist of today"s "Position" column in the Nikkei Financial. According to the article, recent JPY weakness is not the result of hedge fund positioning or overseas CTA moves as was the case very early this year, prior to
the stock market meltdowns at end-February. In fact, the contention is that these players may have moved over to the JPY buy-side, either to take profits or put on fresh longs in anticipation of retracements from multi-year lows,
especially on the crosses. The contention of the article is that Japanese medium and long-term retail investors are behind the fresh JPY moves to multi-year lows on the crosses and, with such flows looking to continue for some time, dips in
the JPY crosses as well as USD/JPY will continue to be well-supported. ifr.

AUDUSD – The AUDUSD continues to rally and briefly traded above the 1990 high of .8351 today. Daily oscillators (CCI and RSI) are overbought and divergent with recent highs. Also, the break that occurred at .8000 was from a triangle and triangle breakouts are terminal (meaning that they are eventually retraced). The daily chart below shows the triangle (a-b-c-d-e) and the 5 wave rally that has ensued and RSI. With daily oscillator action, an extreme risk reversal rate (1 month 25 delta options) and the Aussie at former longer term resistance, we are looking for a reversal. Coming under .8232 signals that we are on the right track.
NZDUSD – Kiwi briefly traded above .7400 today, just 50 pips from the March 2005 high at .7463. A Fibonacci turn date was Friday – but the longer term nature of the analysis allows for a deviation of 4 days. Daily RSI is overbought and divergent as well. Coming under .7313 would be the first sign that a top is in place.
