Demanding better terms when one holds the weaker negotiating hand, all the while "leadership" is deer-in-the-headlights over COVID and mumbling something-something go back to work and good luck out there ... how does anyone expect this would go? ...
UK’s Frost: Regret However That We Made Very Little Progress Towards EU Agreement
- bartholemew commented May 12, 2020
Aside from the technicals, the political chaos about what Boris actually meant yesterday (if he even knew what he meant), as well as the real risk of economic devastation from multiple waves of death crashing over the economy, don't bode well either ...

China has been making these wild, flailing, amateurish no-finesse moves ever since at least the Feb 2007 "Shanghai sneeze".

Draghi: Hearing at the European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee
- bartholemew commented Jun 22, 2015
The last time the RBA tried to manipulate the exchange rate they apparently lost most of their reserves. It's not the FX markets' responsibility to carry the RBA's water for them. The Aussie economy should just adapt, like any other major modern ...
RBA's Edwards: Australia dollar still too high
- bartholemew commented May 7, 2015
Continued whining about the exchange rate. Well then please go ahead and blow a housing bubble, Mr. Stevens. Or, pipe down and leave the markets to decide the exchange rate, as they should. LOL.

Because wealthy Chinese don't want all their financial eggs in a domestic basket. Sydney real estate prices are running hot in part from Chinese demand.

And btw, PBOC reserve ratio cut over the weekend = more hot money coming to Australia.
Stevens: The World Economy and Australia

Oh, he whined about the exchange rate again ("very likely to fall"). Dear Mr. Stevens: Markets set rates, and they are not obligated to optimize economic variables to your liking. Your job is hard - central banking is like that. If the failure of ...

Here's what I've learned from trading FX for a little while - whatever your instincts tell you to do, take the opposite side of that trade. You will at least get a clean entry - maybe not a trend, but at least a clean entry. We love to ...

(Sarcasm) - The USD is a magical currency. It goes up every day. Drink the koolaid or suffer the consequences. LOL.
Cable Update (GBPUSD)
- bartholemew replied Apr 9, 2015
USD rally is sowing the seeds of its own destruction - too easy of a one way trade and runaway fx rates are unbalancing global trade. IMF knows it, Fed knows it - and it wouldn't be too far fetched for the legs to get kicked out at least temporarily ...

Weak ADP report and closed equity markets around most of the world on NFP Friday really puts the pressure on USD bulls here. Anyone excessively long USD into Friday needs to be doing a gut check, right now.
Cable Update (GBPUSD)
- bartholemew replied Mar 25, 2015
Maybe 0.7270 or so. Anything can happen in the short term, but it's in a long term (and well deserved) downtrend - there's no good reason to believe the Eurozone economy is going to outperform the UK economy, or to believe that the ECB is going to ...
EUR/GBP - What a great pair to trade!
- bartholemew replied Mar 17, 2015
At what point does short GU become a pavlovian, reflexive, circular-logic trade? It has been nearly straight down since last July. Markets seem to want to price an entire rate rise cycle into the USD even while the Fed is badly missing its inflation ...

Given the latest round of global stimulus festivities and the disruptive nature of the speed of the USD rally, it would not be surprising to hear some Fed doves coo in the market's ear soon ... maybe hint at "one and done" ... which could present a ...
