Merkel says German economy is in good shape

German chancellor speaking to BDI lobby group in Berlin 6 Oct

  • German industry to be applauded for being open in turbulent times
Merkel buttering up German industry chiefs.
  • sees room for modest tax relief
  • big challenges lay ahead
  • balanced budget is a necessity not a fetish

Something about having the words "fetish " and "Merkel" in the same post is making me a little queasy.

Theresa May takes aim at businesses and elites

Listen to this rhetoric from the UK Prime Minister
Theresa May today said "change has got to come" to Britain and that she's going to make it.
The location of the comments made a statement too. It wasn't a an organized labor meeting or to students, she spoke at the Conservative Party conference; suggesting it's a real priority.
"If you're a boss who earns a fortune but doesn't look after your staff; an international company that treats tax laws as an optional extra; a household name that refuses…

Forex technical analysis:USDCAD and oil following each other

Tech/Option support also in play
Mike Paterson outlined a large option expiry at 1.3000 in the USDCAD and in the minutes running up to the option expiry the price moved to 1.3004 and stopped.
