Can Forex Trading Be Made Simple?
I am not sure the word simple should be in a forex trading dictionary or any trading dictionary for that matter but there is a way to look at the market that should make it clearer to trade. There are some in the market who like to project themselves as fortune tellers, but in the end all they are doing is pointing out the risks. There is no crystal ball for forecasting the future but there is a way to look at the market that should make it simpler to trade.

A federal housing regulator on Monday announced a plan that could ease tight credit and allow more people to qualify for mortgages in an attempt to get the nation�s housing market back on track.
The plan, announced at a convention of mortgage bankers, includes offering reassurances to lenders that fear they could suffer unpredictable losses on the loans they sell to the government.
The move in large part is intended to reassure banks that have had to pay tens of billions of dollars to settle legal cases in the wake of the housing crisis and buy back bad loans sold to Fannie and Freddie. To avoid having to make those payments again, many lenders now demand borrowers meet stricter requirements for loans known in the industry as overlays.

Across Wall Street, a search for explanations has begun.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The white-knuckle move by the 10-year Treasury continues to stun traders and investors. �If you are steeped in bond market lore, you will be telling your grandchildren about this move,� James A. Bianco, president of Bianco Research, said.
In some ways, the wild ride could be shrugged off as one of those inexplicable things that occasionally happen in markets. But the plunge in the Treasury yield could be a sign of structural weakness in the market. And this volatility caught the eye of Wall Street�s main regulator, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. At an already-scheduled meeting on Thursday with representatives of Wall Street bond-trading firms, Wednesday�s movements in the Treasury market were discussed....
The so-called Treasury Market Practices Group meets nine times a year at the New York Fed. It publishes an agenda and, after delays of several weeks, releases minutes of its meetings. The minutes for the September meeting, for instance, noted that the group had discussed market reactions to certain events, as well as failed trades in Treasuries.

you fancy a test of todays low tomorrow, before an attempt to the topside. often euro shakes the tree to lose the weak fruit before any run up. as long as todays high is no higher than 12820/25 which is looking to be the case, we should test the downside tomorrow early to mid session and then we either continue or reverse to the topside.

If you count 2 days when the high was 1.2699, it has been 19 days in a row that a big figure has traded in the EURUSD.

fwiw. euro has a negative yield but quite a lot of european property has a depressed price but a good yield in prime location, beating any western bonds hands down. capital gains are nice to have but may not been seen for a while (but will in time) and the juicy yield helps, while capital risk can be hedged away leaving a good yield, beating bonds (and you are not buying anywhere near the top of the market which is the risk with sovereign bonds). if you looking beyond prime location (or prime sites in secondary locations as i call them), yields move to double figures but more hands on work require to milk it.
this investment will be a buffer to the outflows from euroland, not enough to stop the euro falling longer term as a return to growth will be required for that, but just smooths out the downside a bit.

Fed's Bullard suggestion to continue bond purchases unlikely to gain traction
Quotes from Standard Chartered:
-Turning to our expectation for the 28-29 October FOMC meeting, we do not think that James Bullard's suggestion to continue bond purchases, rather than cease them as the Fed had previously telegraphed, will gain traction.
-QE tapering will probably come to an end as expected and we do not foresee any dissention among the doves. Bullard does not vote on the FOMC this year, but we cannot rule out the possibility of a "dissenting statement" to be released shortly after the meeting, a practice increasingly common among dissatisfied non-voters.

Earlier, comments by Japan's junior coalition party Komeito official, quote:
don't expect gov't to resort to FX manipulation to correct yen weakening; excessive yen weakness wud be unwelcome, nagtive eefects emerging in economy; extra budget needed to deal with stalling economy regardless of decision on next sales tax hike.
Dlr finally pares intra-day gain after opening high abv Fri's 106.95 top to 107.27 in NZ, then climbing to session high of 107.39 in Tokyo as a sharp rally in the Nikkei boosted risk sentiment (Nikke closed up by 578 points at 15111). However, present retreat in the Nikkei futures in Europe (down 80 points at 14040) triggered broad-based buying of yen, price retreated to 107.05, suggesting sideways trading is in store.
Offers are tipped at 107.30/40 n more abv with stops abv 107.50. Initial bids are noted at 107.00/106.90 with some stops below there, however, more buying interest is touted at 106.70/60, suggesting buying dlr on dips is still favoured.

$yen isn't going to trade on its own - its going to be xxx/jpy - so I'm not too bearish on $yen at the moment - despite some initial selling on Europe Open.
Gold as well this 1245 is tough - so that plays a role in $yen as well.

eurgbp. multiple supports (ma's fibs trendline) in 7912-17 region. possible inverse shs. pair has bounced well initially off this support and is keeping cable capped under 16130. while eurgbp stays firm euro stays firm and cable under 16130, its a cross play, but if abv 16130 then i suspect dollar will by then by weakening across the board and cable could stretch its legs to 16185.

Williams Says Fed Faces Greater Downside Risks -- Market Talk
Reply
The Federal Reserve has said it believes the risks to the economic outlook are generally balanced. But recent experience clearly makes some policy makers more worried about a renewed deterioration in economic growth than some sudden boom. San Francisco Fed President John Williams said in an interview: "The risks are somewhat asymmetric. Not only are there downside risks that are obvious and we're thinking about them a lot, but they are also asymmetric because of the zero lower bound [referring to short-term nominal interest rates being at or near zero]. I take the downside risk very seriously and I think about them very carefully in thinking about the appropriate time for liftoff."

American Businesses Are Worried About Europe, Again -- Market Talk
Reply
Faltering growth, double-digit unemployment and a looming threat of deflation in Europe are causing American businesses to worry--again--about the eurozone's economic woes. According to a survey of corporate economists released Monday by the National Association for Business Economics, 51% of respondents believed the eurozone slowdown would have a "significant" or "minor" negative impact on their businesses. It found that 46% of respondents thought Europe's woes would have no impact, and 3% thought it would have a "minor" positive effect.

WEEKLY LOOK AHEAD: Stock Correction - October 20, 2014
john 16:19 re "One problem this week was that recent government regulations, which were well-intended but not well thought out, removed needed liquidity from the markets..."
-
Lack of liquidity ... a very very important notion, impressive market reaction to it when players become suddenly gripped by it. The fact that "they" sent out Bullard speaks volumes about many things, not least how fragile and dependent not only the market but the entire US bubble economy is on the QE teet. MSM was quick with assuaging messages of how the correction was necessary and good and that now is yet again time to stop the panic and buy again.
The current rout in oil pricing has been variously bandied about as a political effort to injure Putin to prediction of darkening global economic prospects. But the price rout is not limited to just crude: other commodities are undergoing similar dynamic. FED's overdue tightening of the liquidity tap is bound to reveal the extent of mal-investments .
Me thinks you have touched a very important fundamental point. Odds are we will see a lot more of blood-letting induced by FED's policies - presenting some good profit generating trading opportunities.

USD/JPY .......Statement at a quarterly meeting of the central bank's regional branch managers BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said, quote:
-Japan's economy continues to recover moderately as a trend
- effect of sales tax hike on economy likely to gradually ease
-Japan banking system maintaining stability
-QQE exerting intended effects
-BOJ will maintain qqe for as long as needed to achieve 2 pct inflation in stable manner
-BOJ will adjust policy as needed, looking at upside, downside risks to economy, prices
-some weakness seen in output
The main driver of today's gap-up open on the dlr in NZ was a w/end report by Bloomberg citing source from the Nikkei.
Bloomberg reported Japan's $ 1.2 tln retirement fund will increase its allocation target for shares to about 25% from 12%, the Nikkei newspaper reported today without attribution.
Nikkei also said GPIF will also boost its holdings of foreign bonds n stocks to about a combined 30% from 23%, while reducing domestic notes to the 40% level from 60%.
Takatoshi Ito, a member of the panel said that the GPIF would be "stupid? to announce its new investment strategy before adjusting asset allocations. Publishing targeted weightings in advance would move markets, forcing the fund to buy at highs and sell at lows, he said in an interview on Oct. 14.
The fund's asset review could come as late as December, as GPIF officials, members of its investment committee n the health ministry have different views on the best timing and approach, Ito said.
