WEATHERMAN HOMER analyst from NAB out pounding the table in Sydney today, calling AUD the "cheapest" it's been against USD in years according to their model. Pounding the table for 0.944.
as I so astutley pointed out in my last post here, the RBA is at in once again in the last 1/2 hour of trading for gold before an hour break. They now have added $3 onto gold after everyone else in the world stopped caring about it for today, and have it up to 1121.
The RBA and PPT are separated at birth.
One must have equities at a recovery high at least every other day. The other must have AUD close at the high of the day each and every day.
The RBA buys the same gold the Chinese won't even think about paying for at these prices.
@Rob, think the RBA will permit AUD sub 0.9100? heck, just two trading days they defended 0.900 like it was the end of the world. Then yesterday it was 0.9100. Today it's been 0.9120.
Be careful and don't get sucked into their game. Play your game.
Each of the past two trading days, in the 1/2 hour after U.S. equities received their final PPT goose of the day and close, and 1/2 hour before trading in gold is suspended for an hour, the RBA has come in and goosed gold for $2 plus in a shameless act to push AUD even higher.
What a National Pastime!!! A little odd though. The past two days I've read WEATHERMAN and HOMER anlysts reports on the AUD actually stating AUD would struggle here and pull back. What was the RBA's response? Those analysts have been terminated, and the RBA sold even more and more non-AUD currencies in the open FX market to prop their beloved National Pastime AUD higher and higher.
Games over soon though. After the RBA is forced to pay their premiums at 5 pm NYT, AUD headed immediately to 0.9020, where it was before the PPT entered in the U.S. equity markets.
The only question will be: what will the RBA's response be?
Dude, you're not allowed to go on CNBC is you have anything negative to say about equities. They just put up a chart showing small caps are up 100% yoy. Instead of encouraging the masses to perhaps pull some off the table for another day, they exhalt the masses to continually buy.
The problem is, the masses got wiped out a year ago and have not bought this rally. This is nothing but a PPT generated rouse devised to get Mr. and Mrs. Jones to put their hard earned cash back into the markets and the market makers (Goldman) pockets.
You saw today when the PPT stepped out to lunch, the market dropped 60 points in no time. AUD dropped 22 points and put the RBA scurrying like rats to protect the value of Australia's National Pastime. What happened? Stevens found out where the PPT was eating lunch, made the call, and begged the PPT to goose the spoos and gold, guaranteeing all players who were doing the goosing against loss, in a frantic effort to prop AUD back to the highs of the day, even after the RBA engaged in a four-hour buy program on AUD, and to get U.S. equities back in black.
There is tremendous fear in the states that if equities have consecutive down days, the PPT will lose control of the mindless rally they have been orchestrating the past month.
Hence, idiots rush back into risk like fools, and buy trash euro and GBPUSD, and gorge themselves on overpriced and overstuffed items like gold and AUD.
after a four hour rally put on 90 pips in their beloved Aussie, the RBA was aghast that Aussie actually had the nerve to drop all of 21 pips in three hours. What was the RBA's response? Call the PPT and engage incoordinated intervention to a) prevent equities from being red two straight days, and b)push the overvalued AUD back to near days highs.
@chloe-after a near scare of a complete breakdown in their beloved AUD, the RBA spearheaded a four hour ninety pip assault higher on shorts.
RBA was in a sheer panic when USDCAD popped over 1.030, as they know any strength against another commodity-backed currency would upset their Mardi Gras AUD party.
@ptacek-the answer is simple. Because greed still prevails in the market, and fools did not learn a thing from a year ago. That is why we are headed back into the abyss.
These yield whores and momentum geeks who hop on the bandwaggon to buy AUD beacuse of its yield will learn another hard lesson: 4% yield doesn't necessarily protect from 25/30% losses.
The yield whore momentum players pouring into AUD simply because it is going up are going to get hurt, and badly. The risk carry trade is filled with cowards who flee at the first sign of trouble.
DOW will be below 10000 by end of next week. Another pathetic PPT sighting today, desperate to keep market in black and avoid two consecutive down days. But this mindless PPT-led rally is nearing conclusion.
As with AUD, last one out please turn off the lights and don't let the door hit you in the fanny.
speaking of oil, eighth straight down day in USDCAD. Had this been euro or GBPUSD, people would be screaming and blaming the speculators. Greece offocials are crying fools. They are the one's who deceived the public by engaging in the commission-generating swaps packaged by Goldman. They specifically lied and utilized criminal activities to deceive the public. Now they point fingers at the speculators.

Friday's $2431 high in gold consisted of a 21% rise from the Feb 14th low. Such percentage extensions from key lows or/and technical levels such as the 200-DMA, could flag crucial opportunities for partial/full profit-taking. Watch here.

PPT and RBA have shot their loads. Nothing left to dupe the public into buying overpriced and overstuffed and overvalued U.S. equites and AUD.
