Ten days ago, the few carbon-based habitual gamblers left in the market stopped and read Goldman's report which, as we said, may have 'just killed the music' with its slam of the market saying the "S&P500 is now overvalued by almost any measure." Recall: "The current valuation of the S&P 500 is lofty by almost any measure, both for the aggregate market as well as the median stock...
Since then, many of Goldman's client must have been displeased that David Kostin refuses to drink from the punchbowl anymore, and sent in their complaints. However, Goldman has refused to budge and issued a follow up defense to its thesis that stocks are overvalued more than at any other time except the tech bubble

The commodity currencies remain vulnerable (deflation?) with #USDCAD taking out the psychological 1.10 line earlier today. We are expecting a dovish Bank of Canada statement Wednesday, but no policy changes. The COT report as of Tuesday a week ago shows the markets positioned heavily long USDCAD. The critical 20-day moving average is 1.0767.
It hard to catch a trade this deep into a move, but the trend remains solid. Any trading ideas on the USDCAD pair?

When I spent a lot of time on the floors in Chicago in the late 70's, there was barely room even to stand. Forex has never had an "exchange" per se.

GBP/USD: Next bullish signal could take it to 1.70
Reply
The GBP/USD has shown an exceptional performance since last summer. Following a double-bottom near 1.48, th currency pair began a strong recovery and revalued 12% to reach current levels.
The breakout of resistance at 1.62 last November confirmed the bullish trend, the currency's underlying strength, and the possibility of more gains.
The currency has since been in a trading range for the last two months. A bullish signal is needed to confirm the start of a new rally. This signal would be produced with a close above 1.66, which in theory should trigger a rally equivalent to the size of width of the range. This means that the GBP/USD could reach 1.70.

The International Monetary Fund is widely expected to raise its outlook for the UK this week, nudging up the country's growth forecasts by more than for any other major economy.
The Washington-based fund is due to unveil an update on Tuesday to its World Economic Outlook from last October. Back then it forecast UK national output would rise 1.9% in 2014. Now it is expected to predict growth of 2.4%, according to a Sky News report.
The IMF is also expected to upgrade its outlook for the global economy, which in October it predicted as expanding by 3.6% this year. That would reflect the cautiously optimistic tone in a New Year's speech from its managing director, Christine Lagarde, last week.
"This crisis still lingers. Yet, optimism is in the air: the deep freeze is behind, and the horizon is brighter. My great hope is that 2014 will prove momentous … the year in which the seven weak years, economically speaking, slide into seven strong years," she said.
If confirmed, the substantial upgrade to the UK will be a welcome boost to Chancellor George Osborne and his much repeated assertion that the coalition's "economic plan is working".
But in the past the IMF has echoed other economists, including experts at the UK's own Office for Budget Responsibility, that the UK remains over-dependent on consumer spending to grow.

The AU CPI release today has the potential to confirm whether or not RBA will cut rates further in the upcoming meeting. If the CPI is showing an economy that’s under no inflationary pressure, RBA may very well cut rates further in order to boost economic activities… However, if the CPI is higher than expected, then RBA may choose to keep rates unchanged at this time…

Euro recovers from a fresh 7-week low in subdued trade
The single currency recovered from a fresh 7-week low against the dollar as investors closed their bet in subdued trade Monday due to closure of U.S. financial markets for Martin Luther King Day holiday.
Earlier in the day, although euro remained under renewed selling pressure at 1.3546 at Monday's Australian open following last Friday's sell off and fell further to a fresh 7-week low of 1.3508 versus the dollar at Asian open, lack of follow- through selling prompted short covering and price later rebounded to 1.3562 in European morning due partly to cross-selling of euro and then edged marginally higher 1.3568 near European closing before easing.
Versus the Japanese yen, dollar was under pressure in Asian trading on the back of falling Nikkei 225 index and price tanked to 103.86 before staging a rebound, dollar climbed back to 104.26 but renewed cross-buying of yen capped intra-day gain there and the pair later dropped back to 103.92 n then traded sideways for rest of the quiet North American session session.
Cable followed euro's move closely in Asia and fell to 1.6396 before climbing back to 1.6452 in European morning, however, renewed selling ahead of last Friday's high of 1.6459 capped intra-day gain and price later retreated to 1.6418 due partly to cross-selling of sterling before moving sideways.
On the data front, report showed that industrial production in Japan fell unexpectedly in November to a seasonally adjusted -0.1%, from 0.1% in the preceding month. A separate report stated that capacity utilization in Japan slipped by seasonally adjusted 0.5 percent month-on-month in November, compared to previous year, capacity utilization fell 2.8 percent.
In commodity currency, although Australian dollar fell initially to a fresh 3-1/2 year low of 0.8756 against the usd in Asian morning, the pair found support after data showed China's economy grew 7.7% on a year-over-year basis in the fourth quarter and rebounded to 0.8821 in European afternoon before easing.
Data to be release on Tuesday:
New Zealand CPI, Germany ZEW survey current situation, survey expectations, U.K. CBI industrial trend, Canada wholesale sales, and U.S. IMF economic outlook.
