Very strange how oil remains propped up while the dollar soars and gold & silver sell off??

If equities, oil and gold are dropping so will aud/jpy...for now anyway. It is no secret that the BOJ wants a weak yen.

Short aud/jpy @ 82.40 and Crude @ 80.25 The mindless risk rally is getting tired.

Hey Pipster
I am actually viewing gbp/jpy as being in a slow recovery/uptrend at this time. After a considerable selloff, it has managed to close above its 10 day sma for a week now, and has more recently been maintaining closes around the 20 day sma. Also keep in mind current strength in usd/jpy, which may continue because of the fed discount rate hike. Of course I could be dead wrong but...I think it may recover to 144.50 - 145.00 area, and I will be looking to get short then.

Gold looking to push through Wednesday's high. With gold, commodity currencies and the S&P being bid up relentlessly I would not jump in and try to short anything just yet.

gbp/jpy is a typical risk sentiment pair. Typically higher equities and increasing risk appetite will send the pair higher. This one is volatile, very fast moving and capable of huge pip gains or losses in very short time frames. 200 to 300 pips in a day are common. Big sell-offs like the one 2 weeks back and 500 pips down in a couple hours! I like to trade it, but it is not for the conservative or faint of heart. It is a 'hair on fire" - "nerves of steel" type pair.

Absolutely PippedOff! And the Aussie is headed right back to .90 where it belongs. At least we know what we are dealing with. I bought aud/jpy @ 77.50 right after the last sell off because I figured they would push this thing right back up to the highs.

PPT in full force today. cad/jpy ripping higher. I expect a sell-off later though...it is options expiration day!
