Key take away for me is Carney hints (says?) direction of rates going forward is going to be dependent on Brexit outcomes. Did you pick up on that bit? Don't know if that interests the markets. Apart from that I think he was optimistic in his ...

This one just keeps eluding me. I must give some serious attention to this aspect going forward.

Makes sense. What do you think of the ECB decisions? Remember Draghi says not to call it a "Taper". So we shall call it a "Downsize"

Pretty straightforward really. Nothing sophisticated. Really, I was just interested in scalping the deviations on the data releases seeing as they are tier one. 5min candle straight entries and pullbacks. My bias going into Aussie CPI was short. For ...

Today's been a really eventful day. Aussie CPI in Asia UK GDP in London BOC decision in New York. Pips flying everywhere, caught a few... missed many. Allowed a fat finger/rush of blood to head burn me a little. Recovered a bit. The one biggest ...

True that. Apparently he didn't mention a thing about monetary policy (I shouldn't have expected him to). On the AUD, apparently the hedgies knows somethings we definitely do not know. url

Recent talk of the town is that RBA rate hike is a much more unrealistic now and there is increasing likelihood the RBA could even still cut instead of hike. Apparently a few banks (JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, ANZ) are bearish on the Aussie economy. ...

Quick surface scan of the USD: We have lined up a slew of FED doves and centrists (per url ) giving speeches next week. I feel like hawkish commentary can lend a bit of support to the greenback. Not sure how the market's going to react to this ...
