Ashraf,

I read something about ONS figures overstating UK high st sales over the last couple of years. This is clearly a negative for sterling.

Speculator, yes it is very possible to see $1.35 on sharpened selloff in equities.

Pipples, Looking for trend line resistance at 1.20 mid next week.

Where do you see USDCAD (just got to 1.18) going long term Ashraf?

Also, I scan here and your Twitter all the time - must say, fair play to you giving (lots of) time to help and advise. Kind of you.

ashraf i liked the bloomberg video today,

the dollar has not benefited too greatly lately against sterling as you predected.

do u agree with some currency strategists that cable could fall below 1.35 if we fall in to a deep bear market with new lows assumung no signs of worsening economic data. Not sure if that could be a possible set of assumptions.....

Shankar, time for AUDJPY to take some time off as yen strength is becoming increasingly relentless now that stocks are topping out. In fact, yen strength is particularly robust, dragging all currencies to their lows of the day.expect to see 70 early next week.

Hi Ashraf, i have been trading Aud/Jpy and being doing fine for last few months but now to me it looks very very vulnerable. do you suggest i still long Aud and short yen or wait for pullbacks or else suggest other currencies. I like to take long term views while trading currencies, thats what i have been doing for years and most often than not it has worked out well for me.

Thanks Gary. Id say those cyles in FX are not exactly obvious to intermarket participants. speaking of cycles, the pattern in USDJPY from jan to today is very similar to that from April '08 to mid July '08. And we all know what happened next...
