And I rather thought AUDUSD "fell 100 pips last night" from the very poor retail sales # and the negative revision ?

lol it's not about whether a war would start, it's about the possibility. Right after the announcement last night, AUD fell around 100 pips. Did I say that it'd start? No, I'm saying there's a possibility of it, and traders eye on possibilities, everything is traded before when everything happens, calm down and you're the one who's naive.

Xi's daughter went to Harvard in 2010, not when he was named the chinese leader. You cannot say speculation of Xi being the leader as a credible source of information for the communist party, everything has to be announced before it's formal.

You seem to be the one who's too young and too naive. Japanese and China's relationship, simply escalating to a place which it getting out of control, and if China does not plan to escalate the situation they would not aim warships at the Japanese military naval around the island.

Don't be blinded by your textbook and instinct, WW2 started in a boom, so who knows.

Please be rational before saying since Xi's daughter is in Harvard they won't star a war, it's japa they are fighting, not the US.

So? It was the coldwar you are talking about, not some territorial dispute over an island where you can possibly find crude.

That's a very futile analysis.

China had warships aimed at Japan already, you tell me how is that not a sign of this thing escalating

I agree Q, it seems a very silly war, my sympathy lies with japan.
