spec, the FTSE rallly (today and this morning) remained part of the BoE decision to expand stimulus i.e. good for stocks, good for guilty prices, bad for guilt yields and bad for sterling.

rajesh, the pattern was broken because BOTH the unemp rate AND the payrolls were positive for the jobs picture. the fact we had FIRST DECLINE in unemp rate since Apr 08 was so USD positive that it gave hopes for a potential US-led recovery.

Spec, unwinding Fed easing policy is NOT "obviously" good for stocks. we're still in recession, consumer still badly hurt and stocks want prolonged easing.

rajesh good point.

it could be a sign that FED may unwind USD negative policy measures and therefore hike rates and less/stop debt monetization. This is obviously stocks positive.

Hi Ashraf,

One thing I could not understand. Good employment numbers should increase the risk taking and this should weaken the USD. That means EURUSD should go high. Today though stocks have gone high, due to good NFM numbers, EURUSD kept on coming down. PLease clarify. - Rajesh

redstone, its called overshooting and bubble formation.

looking at the last 12 months cycles and inflation adjusted earnings, we are mirroring the great depression cyclim but with worse comparable earnings. the only thing different is expansion in money supply which did not occur back then.

Rob, i had been expecting a bigger rebound in USD before more protracted losses in Q4 but this is not happening because signs of global recovery are broadening. Not sure what to tell you about the IMT link. Have you tried another computer?
