Yes, nice one. I closed a short today at 1.5065 (for +94pips), only to see it go down to well below 1.50!. Still, not to be greedy. It's now around 1.4965. Surely it will rebound now though ...?
@Peggy: This is why I have given up trading EUR/GBP, at least for the moment. Had a small old underwater long position that I closed today for a 5 pip loss, only to see it climb another 35 pips or so :-) [I thought it was just about to turn round and head south, to I took my opportunity). Still, it was worth the actual plus potential pip loss to get shot of it, to be honest.
Agree that deflation is the immediate problem, not inflation.
However, I have seen commentators (who admittedly may be goldbugs) say that gold is a good thing to hold in both deflationary as well as inflationary times. It's the ultimate safe haven.
I agree with @Pippedoff. I plan to continue selling into any major rallies.
I'm impressed by EUR/GBP! (but in the current climate I would _not_ attempt to predict further moves; if you twisted my arm I'd say get ready to short it, but I won't be doing).
By the way, Ashraf's book tells us about various periods in history when this sort of correlation has (temporarily) broken down, so we should not be too surprised.

use search on "Gold breaks the rules".

Inflation concerns? Is anyone seriously concerned about inflation at this point?
