Don't Forget the Yen

Much ado about USD rebounds during falling markets, but JPY strength still outperforms USD.

Thanks Said........l shorted GBP/USD l.6280 - guess l jumped in too quickly - as l am not a
scalper, l can wait, that is, unless goes ballistic. Cable never ceases to amaze me, its so
resilient - just when everyone is doing it down, it jumps up and bite them

Said-"substantial" move in Gold in your opinion is to which levels? Wouldn't be surprised to see it down as the running of Aussie today out of the blue gives it a higher base with which to sell off from when Gold drops in price shortly.

Aussie broke downn below 0.9200 in asia today, enough to run stops.

Hi guys ,

Did someone take a look to Ashraf"shttp://www.ashraflaidi.com/ charts/ speculators-futures-fx-positions.asp andhttp://chart.ly/extzaz ?

I am not sure if i really understand : obvious the yellow line (in the case of usd/jpy ) is the price line and those bars are ( i think ) the volume ( the amount ) of the contracts...but i don"t really understand what are the open interest , how many contracts are long or short and what mean the amount when it is under 0 value ...

Can someone enlighten , please ?

USD/JPY almost hit the end last week target of 90.50 (reaching 90.591). Note a daily and weekly gap down on USD/JPY echoed even more strongly in EUR/JPY.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it. I'm still trying to put all these market dynamics together. In regards to Krafts proposed takeover of Cadbury, everyone has a price at the end of the day but can Kraft afford it? Especially after what Mr Buffett had said.

adam thats my thoughs

by teh way what do u think of cadbury possible takeover by kraft
have they taken into account cadury worlwide contribution and counceling in the pricing

thats makes a good portion of unmaterialized risk in the takeover model.

Thanks Said,

So you are saying this has more to do with Gold falling & and a rate hike already priced in? Just want to make sure i'm following you here.

ADAM

duabi debt problems are not a problem when it comes to restructure the nations debt.

gbpaud is interesting at my opinion because we are gonna have substantial move in gold and the expectation of a rate hike in australia priced in aussie gvt bond.
