Why the US dollar is sinking today

The market was reluctant to price in the lack of a taper, until now.

Cannot figure out EUR/USD? Try vodka!

Here’s an interesting article, and if you like FX and the odd drink, you’re gonna love it!
  • The idea to be tested was that drinking alcohol can help to solve problems.
  • To test this, study participants were given bagels and a couple of vodka-and-cranberries, and then asked to solve puzzles
  • The results showed that participants were better at solving the puzzles after the cocktails
The current experiment tested the effects of moderate alcohol intoxication on a common creative problem solving task, th…
