In Thread: Here Comes the 2-Month Cycle

Hi Ashraf,

How about the EUR/JPY? That seems to have no resistance whatsoever. It's been rising steadily since the end of January. Do you have targets for EUR/JPY - 140.00 (slight exaggeration) wouldn't surprise me by the end of this month at this point. Thanks a lot!

In Thread: Loonie's Falling Downside

Hi Ashraf,

Thanks for the many great calls in the past few days (NOK, AUD, CAD). With a potentially large bear market rally brewing, risk appetite rising, and psuedo market(s) stability, do you still see Gold holding up at $885? Thanks

In Thread: Equity/Gold Ratio's 40 yr Cycle

And by the way, is EUR/JPY ever going to stop rising? Good time to go long on that as well??

In Thread: Equity/Gold Ratio's 40 yr Cycle

Hi Ashraf,

Considering the terrible conditions in Japan - do you see a perpetual rise in USD/JPY because no one wants the JPY and the USD is still a safe currency even if the VIX rises and risk-appetite plummets with the next inevitable downturn in equities. Good time to go long USD/JPY? I see no good reason for it to turn down. Thanks and hope the Expo in NY was successful for you - glad we got a chance to meet!

In Thread: AUDCAD Looking Up Again

Hi Ashraf,

Thanks for your comments to Hamish, I was thinking that the only reason AUD/CAD wasn't going higher must have been because of risk aversion. Does CAD become a "safe" currency against others because of its association with the USD and US economy?
Also, with your comments yesterday on stock indices sliding another 30-35% - wouldn't that mean a ton more risk aversion coming, further punishing AUD/CAD? Do you have a time frame for AUD/CAD rising, and I presume the hot chart still stands accurate?
Also, is JPY getting punished because of their terrible situation? - I would expect USD and EUR to be losing against JPY with all the risk aversion now and more coming. Thanks for your comments.

In Thread: Aussie's Risk-Based Bounce

Thanks a lot Ashraf! It makes sense why the pairs you mentioned are better than USD/JPY.
Now are you saying buy NOK against the USD or EUR. Also, what is your concept of "long-term" for NOK - 6 months, 1 year...? Is this for a long-term carry trade coupled with fundamentals in favor of NOK? The spread is enormous! Thanks for your response!

In Thread: Aussie's Risk-Based Bounce

Hi Ashraf,

With VIX going lower, is that a good enough signal to send USD/JPY higher today, despite your long-term call of 75-80? Also, with risk appetite on the rise as a result of equities higher, etc., do you see EUR/USD going lower to sub-128 simply based on better US fundamentals, and not related to risk appetite. Thanks

In Thread: Aussie's Risk-Based Bounce

Hi Ashraf,

Does BoJ buying stakes in banks mean JPY loses across the board? Thoughts and targets on EUR/JPY would be appreciated. Thanks
