Question/Comment for anyone who wants to respond -
Shouldn't a drop in housing starts actually be GOOD for the US economy? The housing bubble and glut of excess inventories seems to be the major problem, or at least the major consumer driven problem. And with less houses constructed, the supply goes down, which is just what we want for a recovery. In my view, the last thing the US needs is growth in the number of new houses, right now.

H2 will be a different story i think but certainly more room for cable to rise as well as global stocks. cable could overshoot PPP exchange rate 1.56 big mac index very soon and then take corrective movement down.

now that stocks are looking expensive to current earnings we are bound to get downards pressure in the near future but when nobody knows as there is too much investor herding right now.

Taha. looks like we will target $1.5570 (200 day MA) and could follow to as high as 1.5720 but not more than that. Watch the US data today. if its better than exp then good for sterling.

Sleiman, Yes, i do. the oil rally has been a a result of improved risk appetite (investment demand) and not better growth prospects. The 17% rally in India has also been a factor.

Do you still think oil is heading lower after today's rally?

Today it looks like the downtrend is continuing in the Gold : Oil pair. You can do the GLD:DBO chart right now and see it:http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=GLD:DBO&p=D&b=5&g=0&id=p45203876561

Taha, i cannot tell you what to do with your position because i do not know (i) where you got in (ii) how much you are losing (iii) your risk/reward preference. I am not here to give this type of advice, but only to talk about market direction. strong resistance at $1.5380
