some of you seem baffled about cables short term upswing. it has nothing to do with safety. there have been some good fundamental piece of news this week which has made investors believe rates will rise earlier than expected and the uk economy may have existed recession.

you are trading in what we call a highly liquid market with small and large players no cartels.

with regards to the euro there is great confusion with analysts. the dollar is in a multi year bull against several currencies including the pound, euro and yen so pretty much the dollar index.i watch the index reach 80 during feb because: earnings negatative surprises and fed rate hike revisions.

the dollar rally is having some profit taking after some banks have started to become more dollar negative. but the medium term outlook is dollar positive. we are still targetting 80 on dxy very soon.

look at the dollar now it has eliminated most of its losses from the new shock today.

Dollar weakness today will only be of a knee jerk reaction type scenario because technically the dollar is in an uptrend and other fundamentals favour the dollar vis a vis euro and pound. this is not a change of trend as the surpirse will not be strong enough to reverse the new uptrend of the dollar

the pound will need a systemic shock to get it to plummet. Till then i can't see it dropping like a stone. QE extension and possibly rate hikes early on from fed could also do but more so credit rating issues, political instability and accross the board strength from the dollar.

i dont see the point in hedging my bets if i am sure the market will move in my favour. what is the point in hedging otherwise? I wont make anything! A hedge would be a decent negatively correlated asset! For example, it was obvious that dollar index and gold are currently good hedges but why would i go for both if im sure that dollar would go up or down? i would make on one and lose on the other which would be rather silly i guess. hedgin is more likely to be useful on short term trading which i do not do. I guess you could hedge by buying options but that costs and is good as insurance but only if i have doubts.
