I have a strong gut feeling we might see a speculative bounce up in commodities followed by a steep drop as the China bubble is about to go bust soon. So I will monitor the aussie closely to find a cheaper short entry
Could be Aussie recovers a bit more but then I'll short aussie again vs JPY and USD. The choices of safe paper currencies thin out which will be eventually left?

The FTSE All-World equity index is up 0.1 per cent and commodities are rallying as bargain hunters gamble that the recent financial turmoil, and fiscal troubles in the eurozone, will not derail global growth.

Meanwhile, one of the markets best gauges of investor risk appetite, the Aussie dollar, is bouncing sharply after taking the kind of battering in the past week normally reserved for the nations Twenty20 cricket team."
So, do we think risk appetite is really coming back, and where is the Aussie heading now?
