goldman today reversed its short bet on the dollar vs euro. meryl and morgan still betting euro will will be a good bet.

mo, as i said no clear indentifiable reason to sterling's stability. but surely losing groundvs USD. damage today is being done to AUD and CAD as commodities collapse. NZD less bad ahead of RBNZ.

Hello Ashraf
Despite falling stock market, failing oil, big contraction in GDP last Friday, and more farther QE in August the Cable managed to held it is ground, any explanation?

Hello Ashraf

GBP/USD spiked up 150 pip in very short time. Any reason?

Thanks

at the end of the day, UK's fundamentals are probably worse than US in terms of potential currency issues in the shorter term:

fiscal deficits
government debts
rising unemployment
QE
non-reserve currency

I cant see how one could be so bullish for the pound regardless of green shoots. the green shoots have been priced in sterling. we have not had a real sterling crisis yet but it is likely to prop up this year or next

yes weakness against euro is an early warning sign for future weakness against dollar.

jj, well, sterling is definitely weaker these past few weeks. look at cable's consolidation and the rallying eurgbp. if this bias continues, cable will likely top out near 1.66.

Im not sure stocks will be too happy with bernanke's testimony
