Yield Curves, FX & LIBOR Trends

Medium term trends indicate the US yield curve is ready for a major break out at the expense of the USD, while LIBOR trends offer more downside room for GBP.

Hmmm, makes it a bit more interesting to me. You wouldn't agree James? Oh well, I am a writer on the side so...

BTW - that was a pretty "ballsy" thing to say. Are you really asking him to adhere to a certain way of speaking on HIS site! I think we ask him enough...wouldn't you say?

And don't take offense to "ballsy" please. I just want us all to get along.

The definition is actually- "the act of taking on or displaying an attitude or mode of behavior not natural to oneself or not genuinely felt b : speech or conduct not natural to oneself" ---
Being that is the definition, if you hear interviews, or met him personally, you'd realize that it is actually is his true self. Clever, witty, and intelligent. I enjoy the way Ashraf "spices" up the mundane world of numbers blinking up and down all day every day. His wit and clever use of words is like the icing on the cake, and makes it more enjoyable and fun to read.

I can still see your point --- but it's often NOT WHAT PEOPLE SAY -- but HOW THEY SAY IT that makes the difference.

Ashraf, I know you don't need me to "stick-up" for you, and that's not my purpose... just sharing my comments in response to a comment on the forum. And giving my view of it.

Rob, I wouldnt go for aggresive risk aversion trades in Asia because Shanghai is closed and markets may want to wait and see ahead of NFP. Better save bullets for tomrrow am. but if you insiste, then could target 1.5880 in GBPUSD but im not too hot about it in Asia.

JAMES, read your post once again then read my reply:

your conclusion about me wanting to prove anything about my vocab is quite misguided. ive been writing day in day out for over a decade and the last thing is to prove anything to anyone about my english (im busy working on market analysis). If you care to look outside your scientific world, "bifurcated" has been applied to other fields as long as they mean broken down into 2 parts and thats what the piece meant.

So if you want to go around looking for proper syntax and word usage, then the Internet is full of places to look.. before you start making impaired judgement and conclusions.

Ashraf, why did you use the word "bifurcated"??

Your choice of that word to describe the price action in the FX market is a direct result of a literary disease called "affectation"....its when a writer structures his/her sentences to prove that they have an above average vocabulary, by adding unusual words to what would otherwise be characterized as a simple statement.

Please adhere to simple sentence structure, and focus on FX analysis.

Hey Ashraf,

I'm excited for your Webinar! In the meantime... Thoughts on the Asian trades? I've been burned at times when NY tanks, but then Asia picks it right back up. Especially with Nikkei falling yesterday.
Thoughts or targets on GBP/USD or GBP/JPY would be appreciated...unless you feel there are more (reliable) pips to be made in other pairs? I understand if you think the time-frame is too soon/short-term. Thanks a bunch.

John, 1.0590 support will continue to hold in USDCAD...unless ... a devastating surprise arises from the 6 nations meeting with Iran and oil jumps above 73.

Hello, Ashraf,
How do you think of near-term direction of USD/CAD on the daily chart. Thank you.

Taha, it will have to be good CONSUMER and JOBS data for USD to gain.

GBPUSD lands safely at the $1.5955 target after the $1.6120 resistance held up earlier from today's earlier IMTs.
