Thanks Ashraf ,just wasn't quite sure whether you meant it as a day trade oppurtunity or that your overall bearish USD stance had changed .

cougr, I mentioned that on Friday so it should have been taken advantage of on Friday. We could see further JPY strength into the Monday Asian session. one must be nimble in this market.

".... today's market is great opportunity for buying JPY and USD vs AUD, NZD and CAD today. "

Ashraf ,just to clarify ,with the above quote that you posted a bit earlier are you suggesting that the AUDUSD and AUDJPY should possibly be shorted here ?

edge, to get the gold price in euros, sterling or aussie, you DIVIDE the USD gold price by the EURUSD, GBPUSD and AUDUSD exchange rate. to get the CAD, CHF and JPY price of gold, MULTIPLY the USD gold price by the USDCAD, USDJPY and USDCHF exchange rate.

CHF lost its correlation with gold after the SNB began selling its gold holdings in 1999. That's also in my book.

Hi Ashraf,

I have attended the CMC Markets Seminar and I have just bought your book from the bookstore today. Indeed a 5-star book. I believe I will gain a lot of Markets Fundamental from your book.

Keep in touch and hope to see you in Singapore soon.

Regards.

Ashraf,

On page 10 of your book you show charts comparing Gold's performance to the various currencies. What formula did you use to make this comparison?? I would like to incorporate a relative performance of the currencies versus gold into my Trading Software to determine strongest/weakest pairs. It would also be useful to use this comparison for adding to physical bullion positons as the fiat currencies go hyper!

Also is it true that the CHF is somewhat backed by Gold? If so how come the CHF does not skyrocket in relative performance to the USD or other currencies?

Thanks

Pipples, Spec, dollar downtrend still intact but i see 1.61 and 1.6050 in cable but BETTER TRADING OPPORTUNITY is to CONSIDER SHORTING NIKKEI (buying YEN).

Cable has lots of resistance especially political at the moment. very risky to bet against it now with the dollar. coupled with more than likely large equity corrections its not worth it.

Hi Ashraf. And buy USD v GBP? Still think it's worth seeing what Friday brings or does this $ strength look like it might last to you?
