Ashraf Laidi on CNBC After Greece Elections - June 17, 2012
Jun 18, 2012 6:42
In a 2-part interview, Ashraf says why EURUSD is expected to extend its gains as part of the corrective bounce after Greece's New Democracy won nearly 30% of the votes and will lead a collation government which is likely to be made up of New Democracy and third-place Pasok.

The lack of any unfavourable event detracts attention of Central banks of worrying about: 1) delivering "liquidity" solutions (such as currency swaps) and places Greece back onto worrying about securing its 1bn tranche, which was withheld after May's inconclusive elections, and; 2) covering its 3.9 bn interest payment to the ECB due in August.

After having united Europeans over Greenland resulting from his threatsm, Trump is now shifting towards gradually dividing Europe by prompting nations to compete for positioning over rare earths. China will also likely revert to its aggressive policy and rare earths will likely benefitl. The Maths Reminder on XAUUSD is in this video.
