as he wud prefer if he traded at all.... irrational behavior puts him over da edge of night..
estimate the mkt's intelligence any more than you would overestimate Merkel or the vast majority of her peoples' intelligence. Mkts can remain irrational for longer then we might like and we trade accordingly.
Anyway what could the FED do to make room , i.e. to sell assets with good profit?
The simplest solution is the best: to deprive investors of alternatives.
Thus bond prices will rise and USD will rise. It cannot be otherwise.
If you read carefully what i said (or if you subscribed to my analysis). i DID mention what Fitch said about Greece (positive comments helping EURUSD), but yes, the dismal figures from the US also help weigh on USD>
But if you insist on attributing every single move to fundamentals, then why did EURUSD rally nearly 200 pips on Friday to close right at its 55 dma? There was nothing from Germany yet then.

parity? your call on it's 2nd year and going strong.... :)
Ashraf has it wrong EURUSD has little to do with US economic data but much with Ezone hanging on a thin thread. It is not logical but consequent. Greece haircut imples Ireland ...Portugal...Spain... haircut. Ezone banks dead. Greece new bailout implies Portugal..Ireland..Spain..bailout: ECB and EU dead.
