eur and cable was only sold off because risk aversion which lie on the fact if mubarak move there is 80% chance to see "Muslim brothers" at power and they are historically very very hostile to The USA.
Why should ousting Mubarak endanger Suez canal passage? Why should the fall of ruling party
endanger the passage?
The opposite is correct. Ousting Mubarak and another ruling party taking helm will calm everything.
The only question : what has Euro to do with Egypt? Eur was sold off big and GBP, too.
Hello ashraf,
i would like to know if at CMC you can provide fx options for the external money managers?
off and military vehicles on the streets in Cairo are adding to market
jitters about Egypt. Ashraf Laidi of CMC Markets says the market is
concerned that any fall of Mubarak's ruling party might "endanger the
Suez Canal pasage of oil and trade into the Mediterranean and Europe."
One oil analyst says that, so far, crude is seeing only a modest lift
due to Eqyptian specific concerns. "If unrest spills over to an OPEC
member - Libya or Saudi Arabia, that's going to be major news," he says.
