So this will be the new trigger impulse for USD /Oil / Gold - moves. One rocket here and one there, or was it only a rumour, or was it only a thunder. Iranians says: 80 Americans killed, US says: No casualities... Was it outside the zone or maybe ...

Iraqi military: two rockets fall inside green zone, no casualties

A very "kind" retaliation where little damage, and no people were killed or injuried. Was this all arranged as an accepted "eye for an eye" - activity ?? Or is it just an millitary action of failure ? We are of course happy for no casualities and ...

Iran strikes back but is this the turning point for markets?

Maybe I have been off the grid for a longer while than sound (holidays are sound....). When I see that the Iranian troops are stationed in Bagdhad (??) and there is a general that plans all sorts of attack towards western diplomacy there, it is ...

What the US airstrike means for oil and global markets

GS is well known to manipulate the markets and I use them often as contrarian input. Thanks GS, I will put it in the Macro pot for direction analysis.

So what we have here, they say he dont drink even he behave like he is drunk most of the time. And why make the Scotch and the French Cognac more expensive to the Yanks ? Is it personal....LOL. Dont think so. Also French wine, can be substituted by ...

US weighing 100% tariffs on more EU products including whiskies and Cognac, according to...

A few take aways on this; 1) A major trust problem on the POTUS and what he states from all directions, the people, investors and markets, media, etc. This problem has been going on for a long time now with some 100reds tweets on how great he will ...

The Wall Street Journal story on the China Deal is completely wrong

For the true believers, how many times has he tweeted similar, and how many times has it failed, or been corrected. I think the markets shows how much they believe in this "Trumpmendous deal", with futures flat to down, only some related to UK ...

We have agreed to a very large Phase One Deal with China

Boris Johnson secures biggest Conservative Party election win since 1987

Ross, you got it right there, this is one of the important differences. and I see you understand some of the Chinese history, culture traditions and thinking in business. And dont worry to express what you know or think. There are unfortunately a ...

This could be another trick to boost stock markets. China wants real actions

Signed off what....LOL. As we have seen for a long time this is manipulated so much it has little fundamental effect in reality. What deal….? Maybe the restaurant bill….? Dont try to beat the MMs (Market Manipulators / Market Makers....what ever you ...

Trump signs off on US-China Trade deal to avert the December 15th tariffs

[quote=Maxthetrader;12657756] Never appointed myself as a guru and also never said I am going to learn anyone anything here. And if you did not catch this, please read the last 2 lines of my post referred to. I am very ok with some disagree to what ...

Consumer Price Index - November 2019

Yes, a good CPI should strengthen the USD, not weaken it, but the work of f.ex. EUR/USD on upside is not done. The last days move up is to surprice most DM and drop down again, but it should be made at time of FOMC monetary statements, as we expect ...

Consumer Price Index - November 2019

It has the last 2 months when even the "Escape deal" named "phase 1" failed, been quite obvious. I dont like to say: "what did I tell you", but this time it has been served on this FF, with the largest tee- spoons i have ever seen. Knowing Chinese ...

Yes, I think I get it....no tariffs on 15th, soft packages for Christmas the 24th. Kim will do the fireworks on New year. Donald will not be impeached and Kudlow will run for president...… Sounds reasonable…..LOL. Entertainment factor at ok levels ...

Kudlow says he cannot confirm December 15 China tariff delay

Even good for Europe and Germany, I wonder how it is possible by analysts and forecasters to miss such a distance from a ZEW forecast of approx. 1, announced, to the actual value of 10.7 points. Only some 1000% deviation…..?!

The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment Stands at 10.7 Points

Some reflections on this are that NK is back to the position where it was before Donald made his friendly political approach, showing his "the Beast" car, and then stepping over the border from South to North and smiling together with Kim on the ...

N.Korean Official: Trump Needs To Think Twice Otherwise He Will See Catastrophic Consequences

Thanks, fxsport, Good memories and I think Uncle Ronny did well, and achieved quite good things, sometimes in untraditional ways. Donald may do some too, as some of his goals are good, but the process of reaching them are very unprofessional and not ...

China To Implement Tariff Waivers For Purchase Of Soybean, Pork From US - Xinhua

Interesting news, and 3 reflections: 1) The individ buying it must have been the most wealthiest monkey around. 2) He must have been extremely hungry, and 3) I am in the wrong business.
