I don't know but it just seemed like the same old moves by the big guns lately with these news releases. They prime the market to an extreme one way or another and trap the herd, I guess. So for news that will take a pair long they get to buy in ...

USD/CAD

DAMN - I should've taken short position on AUD/CAD at the least for easy pips this morning.

USD/CAD

USD/CAD being bid up by the big boys before getting dumped ahead of the likely maintenance in the interest rate differential favoring CAD ?

USD/CAD

That would be nice. Tepid reaction and to the downside at that. Though some were, apparently correctly, saying that if the number is only 0.5% or 0.6% there wouldn't be much of an upside.

AUD/USD

I'm thinking bearish hourly candle close means the print will be higher, or at the least match forecast.

AUD/USD

Hourly close is bearish. Though focus is on the Chinese data, the close makes it look like the market is gearing up for a bullish push.

AUD/USD

I heard that it's also very large foreign interest in Aussie housing market that is driving up prices, and so a rate rise can't be ruled out of the equation to cool this. But there was chatter of "macroprudential" approaches taking precedence first ...

AUD/USD

AUD/USD

Yeah, sheesh - what a yo-yo, now going back up!

AUD/USD

Someone pointed out that last week's candle formed a quite strong inverted hammer so that does argue for .8650/40 as a current support level, which so far this week has been quite strong. I'm long A/J so seeking A/U to drive it up further, if not ...

AUD/USD

I thought it did make a new low at .8650 early Monday morning (JST)? Which was also a strong support level that it bounced off of.

AUD/USD

From what I understand the CNY is not a fully convertible currency and with capital controls on the currency that precludes its trading. But you can trade CNH, which is CNY rate traded in Hong Kong. I believe FXCM also offers that now.

Currencies affected by China's Economy

I am a little confused on whether Chinese data on imports or exports or whole trade balance has most effect on, say, AUD? I am thinking better than average rise in imports (as we saw Monday) is beneficial for AUD since that would mean China is ...

Currencies affected by China's Economy

Interesting article indeed, but charts end at like 2012. What's happened since then??
