Unemployment rate hardly disappoints mate. It's a result of higher participation rate. 4.3% was anyway below long-term 'normal' rate so unsustainable.

I don't think Draghi is taking anything down anymore. He's effectively lost any power of influence now. They've let the cat out of the bag and now everyone and his grandmother is shouting 'tapering'. What they say contrary to what they signal is ...

That's roughly what I thought you may have on your mind. My point is that doesn't necessarily mean Euro going through the roof. ECB is going to tighten so Fed is already doing the same. European economy is in a much more precarious state than it's ...

And what are those 'long term fundamentals' if you don't mind...?

I think tomorrow is gonna be a great day for euro and it will reach 1.15. Exactly because of NFP. Don't remember when it was the last time it was usd positive. Even if (and that's a big if) headline job number is as expected then wage growth ...

EURUSD

It certainly is! Sorry. I must have got so usd negative in my outlook as to even lose track of passing time today.

EURUSD

No chance in my opinion. Bond yields in EU moved up quite a lot on the back of ECB minutes release. That's usually not something that peters out immediately. Expect euro going higher on US open. Personally, I also expect NFP to be in general USD ...

Are you being serious? I've never seen any notable reaction for good ADP print, certainly not to the extent you mention.

WSJ: "Federal Reserve officials have indicated there is a strong chance they will announce in September a decision to start shrinking the central bank’s portfolio of bonds and other assets, while putting off until December any further interest-rate ...

[quote=Takisd;10039400] And I still hold the view that draghis spike was fragile... That would be a job cut out for an army of psychologists to interpret/explain the logic behind herding behaviour when you collectively believe what you want to ...

Core inflation went up from 0.9% to 1.1% at the same time.

Not that pumping up euro makes any sense in my view but the most probable set up for Friday imo is: - there are a few important data releases both in US and Eurozone - safe bet US data will disappoint again as it has already become a pattern over ...

It's been going to Europe over the last few months, mate

[quote=skillz16;10034535]I think people are confused with how the fed is going to "invert the yield curve" to slow the overheating credit/"buy room for the next crisis" to be able to lower rates when the ECONOMY is bad. Although this last part makes ...

EURUSD

Higher than expected GDP is affecting bond yields right now, which is a big thing provided it stays that way. No idea what you're talking about in terms of claims however. What is 'pretty bad'??? difference of a few k to the forecast - that's ...

EURUSD

I've always been a perma-bear on euro but still it catches me by surprise that anybody may be thinking it will end up around 1.05 within the next few months. Sep/Oct will exactly be the time when ECB tapering shouts get louder and louder. Cannot ...

EURUSD

In my opinion, this sentiment may well keep euro at elevated levels for a long time. Hopefully there will be some major pullbacks along the way.

EURUSD

There aren't any. All is an expectations of ECB tapering to come at some point.
