Thought this was quite interesting:

Not sure how relevant here, but could be regarded as a piece of jawboning for a stronger Euro.

FFS Marry, you can't even spam properly. This is the soccer thread! Get lost.

@Jamshed: Well explained. I don't know if you are right or wrong, but your argument is very clear.

@Catnip: I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I'm glad someone else thinks that CBs might have been involved.


You can't fight the market, you can't fight central banks, and you certainly can't fight the Chinese (if it was them), unless perhaps you are George Soros (but he is big and important enough that he probably gets insider tip-offs :) ).

What would you say is a safer trade at this point?
Gold? (joke).

In Thread: CHF
@chnce: I don't follow CHF closely , so can't advise. However, in trading terms, you need REALLY long pockets to trade against the market, so take care. Sometimes a painful loss today is better than a catastrophic one next week or whenever. (And I speak from experience).

That's interesting. In the grand scheme of things, 658M isn't so much is it, for hedge funds and such? Is it really possible to corner the market with so (relatively!) little? I can see the firms who use it kicking up, and maybe forcing further regulation. Hasn't there been talk of commodity trading regulation recently, to try to guard against this sort of thing? Hmm...Kraft have just bought Cadbury haven't they; might not have much spare cash left for cocoa!

There used to be plenty of gold bears around here. Well, even some on ZH are bearish now:

Yet another Euro theory (admittedly it's ZH...):

It does seem to chime in with a few things Catnip has referred to in the past (I believe).

@Catnip: Yes, it's very uncertain. 4 hourly down bars after 5 hourly up bars, peaking at 1.3007.

Was that a medium-term top, I wonder.


Yes, we miss Xaron. He used to be the only Euro bull around here for a long time. :)
(@Xaron: stop lurking, and post! :-) ).

@Ashraf: In your post of July 15, 2010 16:30 GMT, where was 1.2980 derived, as a matter of interest?
It just overshot that (1.2986 on my chart), but has since lost ground.
