After the Fed - What's Next?

Last week's Fed statement left the market with appetite to buy the USD. Specifically it is this part of the statement that led a strong conviction to the markets that they have not closed doors to a Dec Rate hike .
In determining whether it will be appropriate to raise the target range at its next meeting, the Committee will assess progress--both realized and expected--toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation

What stood out from the statement was the specific referenc…

Cautious start

Hello traders and happy new trading month
I waited the whole day to see what are the sentiments and consider to enter with a very small position with counter trend on the cable and euro. US dollar is really strong and there are reasons for that - ended QE, hawkish fed mood and also the weak european and british economy. I think that with this little scalp even with stoploss hit I will not have lost a lot just setting to future major trend trades.
Good luck to everyone and have a profitable month

Task 2 - Japanese Yen

I picked Japanese yet, because I believe Yen due its utility in the carry trade. A “carry trade” consists of borrowing a currency with a low interest rate, exchanging this money into another currency, and investing exchanged money in higher yielding and higher risk investments. These investments can include but are not limited to emerging markets, US-based stocks, and Japanese stocks. In turn, investors are essentially getting paid money when they choose to invest in a depreciating currency. In…

Yes, USD could go up much higher but then one also needs to remember that higher exports also raise the value of the currency of the exporting-country by creating more demand for it, that's why this pair had been falling for quite a while before the recent rise, which can clearly be seen on monthly charts, so we'll see how it goes :)

Bernanke probably has dug a deeper hole than his predecessor/mentor Greenspan, who'd caused a massive bubble with low interest & ridiculous monetary expansion; present unprecedented amount of liquidity could temporarily fire up a mega-bubble but hell will break loose when it collapses, could be the end of US as we know it!
It's like giving more drugs to a drug-addict having withdrawal symptoms, sure, it "stabilizes" him for a while but that's not a permanent solution to his problem.
Central-planning didn't work with agriculture, not with industry & it hasn't been working with money either!

The Future of Forex in 2013

I came across an interesting article on Yahoo Finance ” Forex Outlook for June“ and thought I would share my opinion with you. Generally, I think Forex is expected to be very volatile this year, because of drop of gold prices and slowdown of economy in China. Economic slowdown in China is mostly due to substantial decline in exports in response to recession in Europe and US, inflated property prices and generally inflation in China is on a rise. Also, China unsuccessfully tried to burst the bub…

the market tends to react apriori

Right now you are probably right. But generally, is the market rational? I would say no, but neither are we. The goal is to be irrational in the same direction and at the same time.

It depends how one defines as "rational"! It's the people & their thought-processes that materialize in actions of buying & selling that move markets. To me, the market "just is", there can be nothing right or wrong, rational or irrational about how it moves.
