btw: There are news about Fonterra's Reuters-reported disclosure that it will miss forecast milk production growth this season because of drought. This should weight on NZD. Personally I took first NZDUSD short two weeks ago and Im taking second today.

In Thread: EUR
BERLIN (Dow Jones)--Financial aid for Greece from the euro zone would violate the currency bloc's founding treaty, a group of leading German think tanks said Thursday.
In their biannual report on the German and world economies, the institutes said that if euro-zone countries decide to implement their EUR30 billion aid plan, the International Monetary Fund must play an important role in supervising the distribution of the funds.
"However, such aid contradicts the spirit of the Maastricht treaty," the institutes said, referring to the 1991 pact that serves as a foundation for the 16-nation currency bloc.


... they suddenly found out after weeks of talking... muhahaha ... no jokes, this is ridiculous.

@montmorency: I'm using EUR/GBP as a EU/UK balance indicator only. That pair is non-tradeable to me.

In Thread: GBP
@redstone: a moment ago I wrote in the JPY thread in similar vien. The dollar is weak third week now. It started right at the moment we thought it's all roses again. I have a really ugly shorts on GBPUSD and Im not sure my nervous system is strong enough to hold it much longer. If this is a 700pips pullback then the next leg down will be more than impressive. The problem here is the 'IF'. And Im afraid that nobody has any idea right now what's going to happen. Sure I'd be more than happy to see USD strength for next month or two, but ... I don't know - my head is completely empty... no idea.

In Thread: JPY
There isn't any clear direction last 2-3 weeks in the markets. Or is there any? The outlook for EUR, USD or JPY is changing frequently or is it only me with such view? 90 minutes ago all cross/JPY pairs dropped. Does anybody knows why? Newswires are again full of in-fact-dont-know phrases like 'stops were tripped' etc. There is again more questions than answers. Dollar is weakening, risk is on and will probably be extended into the Asia trading. It almost looks like everybody (eu, us, uk, china, jp) are playing waiting game, hesitant to make a move. I mean, is there anybody with some sensible vision of the current situation here on this forum? Who is trading, what and how? :)
