A few weeks ago it was risk on in Asia, sell JPY. Today was follow through in Europe and the US, sell Chf and USD. Fed policy doesn't turn on a dime. Expect easy money policies now until inflation numbers rise above 2%.

- Graviton commented Nov 15, 2018
I suppose now the Fed has abandoned it's strategy of allowing inflation to run equal amounts above or below 2%. It seems that Powell want's to now set 2% as a hard target and not overrun it. Powell may have the ability to crush the expansion, but I ...

Trump Deflates USD Ahead of Inflation Data
- Graviton commented Oct 31, 2016
"...inflation rising"? That is completely incorrect. Doesn't anyone at Reuters proofread their articles? Core PCE, the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, dropped from 0.2 to 0.1% this month. I can only guess they wrote this article prior to the ...
U.S. consumer spending increases solidly, inflation rising

The important phrase there is "If they agree". The Saudi's and Iranians haven't agreed on anything for decades. They despise each other. Iran is just coming out of sanctions and intends to rapidly increase production to fund better living for a ...
Putin Says Russia Ready to Join OPEC Effort to Limit Oil Supply
- Graviton commented Oct 10, 2016
Putin is pumping more oil than at any time in history. He's smart to try to jawbone the price up, but limiting production would destroy his economy. He can't and wont. It's just empty talk designed to squeeze a few extra bucks out of every barrel he ...
Putin Says Russia Ready to Join OPEC Effort to Limit Oil Supply
- Graviton commented Oct 7, 2016
It seems silly for me to try to predict the GBP when even the large commercial banks and central banks clearly have no clue. Made some good pips yesterday from simply following the longer term downtrend(s) of the Pound, but now out of the GBP until ...

Half my trades hit sl and half hit TP. Fortunately I trade diversified portfolio with a 2.5:1 reward to risk ratio, so did ok. Reduced risk (a lot) now. No new trades in this session. Waiting for fat fingered Asian traders to get off work.

Tax policies in the US are insane. The fact is, the more people earn, the less they pay in taxes as a percentage of earnings. Yes, the rates for the top earners are higher, but the available deductions are much higher. A simple flat tax would fix ...
The bad smell hovering over the global economy
- Graviton commented Sep 17, 2015
Wages are falling, the economy is on the verge of deflation. They had no choice. The next move is as likely to be more QE as a rate hike.
FOMC Statement
- Graviton commented Sep 10, 2015
Ha ha, good point! It's a case of too little too late. The US Fed proved that massive QE intervention can quickly pull an economy out of recession. The problem has been that the BOJ's timid approach has not worked. The trick is to get the newly ...

The big banks make fortunes spoofing the markets and always have. Apparently it's legal for them and illegal for the small trader. The simple solution is to charge a small fee on canceled orders, but the big banks lobby against that as it would cut ...

I guess only the big banks are allowed to win. Big banks have been spoofing prices since before computers were invented and have perfected their game in the age of digital trading. The Rothschild's made billions at it as more recently has BOA, GS, ...

It's clear that US consumers are not buying useless plastic junk with their savings from lower gas prices as many thought they would. That's probably because all the savings from lower gas prices was spent on higher health insurance premiums and ...

If pro-growth policies were adopted, this could turn around in very short order. Unfortunately, there is no chance of that with this administration. They firmly believe in the Nanny State. Perhaps things will change with the next administration. ...
