jakeparkin replied Apr 20, 2015Last week we had a very 'different' week to what we've been used to over the past few months. We saw huge Dollar sell-offs, a lot of which attributes to the weak data we had on Tuesday in the form of Retail Sales and PPI. When this data did come in ...

jakeparkin replied Apr 14, 2015@Hanover Nope, absolutely right! And the great thing is, that normally more than one reason why a currency is fundamentally weak or strong must ALWAYS be present. For example, reason 1 may be that they have slow growth and the economy is generally ...

jakeparkin replied Apr 14, 2015You've mentioned the major ones, although I didn't get in on CHF and still don't trade it today, looking back it was probably pretty obvious. ECB wanting to print money, EURCHF capped at 1.20, would cost a fortune for them to keep it up through ECB, ...
