I post this link to Fox's Tucker Carlson pgm from last night.
I seems that Tucker(Fox) is planning to do a series on China's influence.
Before you poo poo Fox as whatever propaganda, consider well that Fox and the DowJones FinMedia conglomerate --- WSJ, MarketWatch, DowJones 'live' financial news updates (rival to Bloomberg) --- Are all OWNED by Rupert Murdock, an Austrailian. The Fox News and Entertainment group is run by Rupert's sons.
And what country is now under attack-financially- by China for not bowing to Bejings wishes'----Australia.
So take a gander, at a minimum, the first 12 mins, the talk by the Chinese economis professor, before you dismiss this as some kind of proTrump foolishness.

If any high-end audio company offered $549 headphones, there'd be lots of takers and nobody would flinch. However, Apple and "audiophile-quality" do not yet go hand-in-hand. That's not to say that Apple won't get there one day, but it hasn't yet.
If Apple offered a lossless music service (as opposed to the compressed Apple Music), that would really help. Maybe that's coming soon now that the headphones are out.

today's new word: lymphadenopathy.
Pfizer notes in the 'risk' section:
Severe adverse reactions occurred in 0.0-4.6% of participants, were more frequent after Dose 2 than after Dose 1 and were generally less frequent in older adults (>55 years of age) (<2.8%) as compared to younger participants (≤4.6%).
Among reported unsolicited adverse events, lymphadenopathy occurred much more frequently in the vaccine group than the placebo group and is plausibly related to vaccination.
.................................................................................
The finding is one of several significant new results featured in the briefing materials, which span 53 pages of data analyses from the agency and from Pfizer.
On Thursday, F.D.A.’s vaccine advisory panel will discuss these materials in advance of a vote on whether to recommend authorization.

Tesla Inc. is taking advantage of its surging shares by going back to the capital markets for the third time in ten months and raising as much as $5 billion of common stock.
The sale through an “at-the-market” offering program, according to a regulatory filing, meaning the stock will be sold over time at prevailing market prices. After soaring almost 670% this year, Tesla shares dipped as much as 4.2% before the start of regular trading Tuesday.
The raise could lead Tesla’s cash balance to approach $20 billion, Joel Levington, a Bloomberg Intelligence credit analyst, said in a report. The company’s credit quality is now “well in excess” of its ratings even after three upgrades during the global pandemic, he wrote.

For EUR/USD at least, right now the welcomes are extremely short...a few pips or less.
Until a Brexit decision is made one way or the other, in current conditions it helps a lot if you trade with small bites in multiple entries. In baseball terms, think singles rather than home runs, and maybe even less than that.
The welcome mats are being put out real fast, and are being yanked back inside just as quickly.
For what it's worth, my impression of the current market for EUR/USD is that price double-topping at 2175 has resulted in a "Brexit drift"...price drifts downward with oscillation on Brexit news.
However, when the time comes, look for a fast rise past 2175 as the "USD down" main trend resumes. Until then, play the Brexit whack-a-mole game as price jumps around.

Herc, with so many moving parts and sabotage attempts from factions on both sides, its not easy to understand whats going now. so close to the wednesday deadline which was set by the eu, one has to watch not the currency because as Jay and other have mentioned, its too easily swayed by every comment. it is better to watch assets that will affected by the changes. for those interested, the big uk housebuilders are persimmon, berkeley group holdings, barratt devs and taylor wimpey. these guys went up strongly when talks were on the up last week and crashed yesterday on the weekend news. despite yesterdays falls, there is no dip buying and they are drifting lower today. this to me means there is currently no solution in sight.

bare bones deal or no deal is sending sterling lower when the dust settles. currently the uk enjoys full eu benefit. it will either enjoy very few (bare bones) or non (no deal). and add to the fact that sterling has been bought for months on the back of deal expectations, you can be sure it will be better to travel than arrive. sterling will be a buy after any large drop for two reasons. eurgbp at parity or higher is unsustainable. the us is printing money and so cable will eventually move higher with eurusd. however parity eurgbp and 120-125 cable are likely to be seen on no deal so it is not a question of buying and holding, its not necessary to have deep pockets. a bare bones deal is likely to see a small spike higher which will be sold into for the following days weeks as folks close out long held sterling longs on the realisation that the new bare bones deal is not as good as what they had before. a comprehensive deal is no longer possible at this stage and quite possibly entirely impossible in the futuregiven the positions and demands of the two sides.
