Rajib.
what is different is the strength of the dollar and commodites
Since last december, dollar has benefitted from the US growth prospects and recently due to rise averse enivoronment from greece - eurozone
In summer of 08, Eurozone and rest of the world were asusmed safe from the US slowdown and the throery in vogue was deleraging. Right now, there is a similar concept - that the US economy will grow at 4+ percent while eurozone, china can go slow.
Considering past experience, it is logical to assume that slow down in China - eurozone will cause a slow down in the US. This should appear in GDP numbers and rise in unemployment and subsequently in long term yield increase.
At some point of time the Dollar will meet its fate of a sharp correction.
But for now, the Euro must suffer.
It is quite funny that only a handfull of fx forecasters were prpedicting euro below 1.30 at new year and now the whole bandwagon is calling for parity and lower.
Right now - all eyes on china -- will shanghai go below 1800?
that would be great, perfect, that 1,28..
But to be honest, im not so convinced to go long either..
Think I ll let the market to do this work for me..
Also, JPY crosses retracements would make smile on my face.
Im curious, if this so called DOOM has a bottom, it seems like it hasnt..Such a mess..
I would love to see the next (possible) bounce at least up to 1,27/28 levels..
Do u find it possible..?
Dont want to sell it too early, but dotn want to miss the Short train as well...
