@chloe-you go guy-sound just like me with the weathermen and PPT and now RPT and the RBA and GOLDman.

Another senseless day in FX. Starts offf with GBPUSD doing its thing of an inflation report. OL! Inflation in the UK? And they are going to bid cable up on that?

Very disapponting day in USDCAD. Looks loike the RBA beet it on the hit into submission.

If the market was concerned with China tightening, it wouldn't have traded like it did. They all know the PPT and RPT are in the wings to bail them out.

@juke, my reasoning is were @ the low for usdcad,an i think were due for a nice bounce back up to 1.0700..ive been playing the usdcad for 6mth now an its the gift that kkeeps on giving..oil could reach 83ish but im sure it to is ready for a pull back as the demand is not there but we have tons on the supply side...so i think its strength is more from usd weakness..an like pippedoff say when the weatherman (analysyt)are pounding the table calling for parity , u might see it go in the other direction...plus we have ashraf call on s&p vs vix...70%chance china tightening...possib neg- us data...im not saying this will all happen but im in ashraf camp on his reasoning an he knows the markets wayyyy better than i;ll ever understand...gl juke

Looks like the big players are desperately trying to "shape" the daily close candles on some currency pairs, and also the S&P by forcing weak squeezes. Watch how USDCAD came roaring back down to close where it did.. also Oil, with little news yet.
I cant imagine the smart money is buying risk right now. Ashraf hope you are right and the top gets blown on this silly rise in equities with China raising rates tomorrow.

just like to ask you view, chloe. what is your reason behind going long USDCAN now? StatCan will issue employment report and oil appears to have a bit more room to 84-ish. You know BMO/CIBC/RY/TD analysts calling for parity, which pretty much depending on Fri morning job result.

The USDCAD seems to repeat the exact same pattern every day. Going higher in Asia/Europe, then drop like a stone in early US session, then recover.

Pipped - Maybe this behavior is a sign that the PPT is getting desperate. Perhaps they are running out of bullets. They are giving it all they got to try for 1150 S&P.
