Fastpips, thanks for the feedback. I will update the sections on gold/oil ratio and cross-market correlations noting the reasons and implications about 1-2x per month.

Hi Ashraf,
I really appreciate your online work book. It is helping me to analyse the FX markets very well.
Keep bringing such online books in future too.
Thank You

Slaiman, i'm not a firm believer of the notion that US will recover before Europe. Just because the US patient entered the hospital before the EU, it does not necessarily mean that it will exit before the EU. the deep erosion from housing on employment, spending and credit formation is more critical in US than in EU. 20% chance we see 1.18. I expect 1.30-1.31 by year end.

Dear Ashraf,

Where do you see the euro going, long run? With euro zone problems seeming worse than those of US and with the expectations that the US would recover before the eurozone, could we see Euro going to $1.18 or even parity?


thanks

Good morning Ashraf, Could I ask you what you see coming up first for the AUDNZD pair? A retest of the 1.2930 or 1.2560 level? tks

Ced, i dont know about margin exposure or where you got in, but you certainly do NOT want to add to losing positions. you can do a partial hedge and buy Aussie vs USD and keep your euro short, or start scaling down. Aside from falling stocks being a negative for the euro, it could be negative statements about European banks needing stress tests (read story in my twitter).

Hi Ashraf,

Can you tell what will be in your opinion most important events for EURUSD this and next week (I guess tomorrow's US April retail sales is one of them)? On which day it will occur and if you know the time would be great.
Also, is there any chance that some of these events push EURUSD lower even without pullback in stocks? (I've shorted EURUSD two weeks ago and now I'm thinking should I cut my loses or should I add more to short position)

Thanks
Ced

Adam, i prefer to sell AUDNZD rather than AUDGBP. I am CAUTIOUSLY expecting the net downleg in stocks. Many things emerging about the Fed's stress tests being inadequate and banks' earnings were a one-off event. It's not too late to go into selling AUDNZD and selling NZDUSD or NZDJPY around 0.6080s and 58.70s

Hi Ashraf, hope all is well. So we have a 2nd down day of the indices in the making, so maybe the correction is on the way. I've longed the GBPAUD pair today anticipating a short term run up to the weekly M4 pivot point at the 2.0500 level, I don't know if you use pivots at all. Also it the 4hrly 200ema i'm using. I will however take profit at of the table at previous support around the 2.0240 level. Unfortunately I missed that pullback on the AUDNZD yesterday to the 1.2700 level, that would of been a very nice entry for a short for a retest of the 1.2500 area you were talking about. There's a lot being said now in the news about a possible correction coming. rgrds
